Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm using 64bit kernel :

Linux tinpatrick 6.12.16-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.16-1 (2025-02-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think this 32bit lib is used for steam...

Yes, I really need to backup my stuff...

#2 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] dpkg error while update » 2025-03-01 13:12:15

OK done,

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb

&

apt-get -f install

with no problem, I did fear a lot while this comp is full a important data for me.

Thanks

Hi,

I got this error :

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-NFWtHn/8-libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

so I deleted /tmp/files, did a "apt --fix-broken install"

Gave me this :

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libc6', which is different from other instances of package libc6:i386
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I stopped before a disaster and come here to get help

You won't have sounds on firefox, do you ?

#5 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] error 500 while upgrading » 2025-02-22 17:58:50

Are you using unstable too, green ? No problemo ?

Yeah, have to wait for the devs to do the stuff I think, thanks for precision.

#6 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] error 500 while upgrading » 2025-02-22 12:39:24

ah yes didn't think of "dist-upgrade", thanks ralph

that solved 2/3 of the problem, still python3-apt didn't update, but I will wait for devs

solved

#8 Re: Installation » .xinitrc like in wayland ? » 2025-02-02 13:49:21

yes looks like there is an automatic "startx" after login, then I start WM with :

[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && exec dbus-run-session sway

Into .bash_profile

And start programs into WM's config but I don't like it...

Hi there,

I'm asking here because I think you guys are the most qualified to answer...

On x11, I used to startx with .bash_profile, then start the wm with the .xinitrc (and start some others stuff at startup), but I wonder what is the right procedure for wayland ?
ATM I start my wm (sway) into the .bash_profile and startup programs into .config/sway/config... But I don't like have startup programs into this file.
I wonder how you guys do ?

Thx and HF guys

@green,

no there is nothing zeroing, it's a stream error as ralph suggested

@ralph,

I do not understand everything, but it seems like this does not work unfortunately

#11 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems with ALSA and audio output ? » 2025-01-07 21:49:57

alsa-utils/stable,now 1.2.8-1 amd64 [installed]

Possibly related:

Starting with 1.2.5 alsactl tries to initialize UCM even if it is not supported #101
https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/issues/101

Thanks, maybe I will recompile alsa-utils on older version to test if it resolves something.

apulse doesn't seem to work anymore last time I tried in making sound work on firefox other firefox web ext fork

apulse or not, it barely works atm.

I get back some sounds by specifying the card index with modprob, qutebrowser got sounds, by not firefox, so it is almost solved...

#12 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems with ALSA and audio output ? » 2025-01-02 23:38:47

I tryed with this asoundrc, but with no success. I think it is a deeper problem, if anyone knows, I used the debug script, but it is too huge for my understanding :

Hi, thanks green and s1mple,

I do have HDMI output :

>>>> aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC257 Analog [ALC257 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I did modified my .asoundrc as :

pcm.!default {
	type plug
	slave.pcm "dmix:CARD=Generic_1,DEV=0"
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw           
	card Generic_1
}

But somehow it does not set the card :

>>>> aplay -L | grep dmix
dmix:CARD=Generic_1,DEV=0
dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=3
dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=7
dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=8

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems with ALSA and audio output ? » 2024-12-28 10:28:12

Hi, thanks for the help, appreciated.
There is my modified asoundrc :

pcm.!default {
    type plughw
    card 0
 }
 
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

EDIT : installed alsa-firemware-loaders... still didn't resolve it. Wanna cry big_smile

#15 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems with ALSA and audio output ? » 2024-12-27 23:33:58

Hi there, thx for help, there are alsa related packages I have on the system :

root@tinpatrick:~# apt list --installed | grep alsa

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

alsa-topology-conf/stable,stable,now 1.2.5.1-2 all [installed,automatic]
alsa-ucm-conf/stable,stable,now 1.2.8-1 all [installed]
alsa-utils/stable,now 1.2.8-1 amd64 [installed]

PS : I think this is failing from some dependencies. The problem went even harder after an update of lib*. The weird thing is that alsamixer prints normaly and says the sound is on.

The chip is realtek ALC257, if that precision is needed. I don't know.

#16 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems with ALSA and audio output ? » 2024-12-23 17:34:11

I installed alsa-ucm-conf package, and now I have no more error at boot and have the ucm and ucm2 folders. BUT it didn't solve the problem (at this boot, I don't have sounds on browsers, but have a good one on system with mpv..)

Hi there,

I found out that sometime (with NO REASON, because before I never had this problem), the sound output works on the system and not on firefox/qutebrowser OR works on the browsers and no on the system... Thats harassing...
I do not use pulseaudio (never needed it). There  is the error at boot time :

alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa -E XRDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/alsa/runtime restore' failed with error 'alsa-lib parser.c:2783:(load top levelconfig) Unable to find top levelconfig file '/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/ucm.conf'

#18 Re: Documentation » Some question about the great Devuan » 2024-09-14 09:57:35

Thanks for the answers, quickfur and Andre. I was really clueless about apt tool...

The init system looks even easier than others !
@Andre, as cs student, I wanna know the max of unix stuff, and while sysVinit is the legacy init, I really want to use it with Devuan.

Thanks again for answers guys, this day I installing and configuring my new system Devuan. I'll be back

#19 Re: Documentation » HOWTO: Post-Installation Configurations » 2024-09-13 21:36:05

For single user system, you guys recommend using only "su" ? or doas ?

Hi everybody,

first, I want to tell that I'm impressed by Devuan, ATM I am trying it into a vm and running a system with a desktop under 200mo RAM is sick... I always used X11, but I think it's time to evolve... So here I am (debian + systemd free + wayland looks the perfect combination).

But before installing on my laptop, I have some fears and questions :

- I never used sysVinit directly (only systemd, openrc et runit), and I find it's hard to find documentation about it. I don't even know how to see what daemon are running. I'll searsh more...

- Why is there a geoclue.agent.desktop into autostart ?

- And the most important for me, the packets managers, apt. I am a total NOOB with apt, so I have idiots questions but... I think a forum is done for that.

I tryed to install, let's say firefox.
>>> "firefox has no installation candidate"

Ok so, I search into devuan packages, I find it is into :  http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64

I add it into /etc/apt/sources.list OR */sources.list.d/file.list

>>> "this repo does not have a  Realese file"

Whatever the synthax, whatever I add it to /etc/apt/source.list.d/file.list... even adding the [allow-insecure=true] tag... I think when we know how to do it, it is easy as abc, but I can't find the right way.

Sorry for newbitude and thx in advance if anyone answer.
