Yep, I love me some pure alsa sound, but I don't enjoy trying to figure out all the myriad commands needed to try to get it to do more complex things. I sat down yesterday and finally worked out an update to my basic config files i've been using to allow multiple sources to play simultaneously, but of course .asoundrc is much larger now.

I also started work on a basic card-switcher GUI to add to AlsaTune... it's not hard to edit .asoundrc or .asound.conf and switch some 0's to 1's but just seems more elegant to offer a simple GUI solution.

I am at some point, for Vuu-do I stay off the cutting edge and go for pure stability, so i'm going to wait a while and let the dust settle before I start to build. Right now i'm still focused on the Daedalus versions as there's still work to be done, and also testing/bug-hunting/fixing stuff where i'm able to help in Devuan Excalibur so we can get it all dialed in and folks can roll up some new spins.

Or possibly the DDR3 is the typo, I do have a 2005 machine running Vuu-do out in my garage (only 1 gb of ram though), so I know it runs well on these old machines.

Hi Ron, password storage issue that's been going on for soooo many years. Previously you could (as root) append password-store=basic to the exec line in Chromium's .desktop in /usr/share/applications and that might still work.

Exec=/usr/bin/chromium --password-store=basic %U

Problem is the gnome-keyring package here, I solved it in Vuu-do by uninstalling it, which causes Chromium to revert to basic storage. If you store online passwords at all you might look into one of the password managers, the gnome-keyring doesn't work well when it works at all.

Wisdom and sigline material right there.

Not sure it was ever anything more than a control thing on their part.

My laptop is an older AMD, and it will indeed run almost fine with free firmware as will most i've tried in Daedalus, but there are some small boot errors like yours and my machine will not suspend properly without the firmware-amd-graphics package.

In Excalibur in tests so far on my old lappy, it has worse errors if I don't have that firmware package as I couldn't get past lightdm without it.

@spliskin, timely post lol https://lists.debian.org/debian-securit … 00218.html

I really don't. I'm still trying to learn C, just squashed a few more bugs in stuff I thought was done, lol.

Haven't used rust, have read a fair bit about it... the code itself is a little weird, looks like my cat walked across my keyboard. I understand the principles and the need to guard against issues, memory leaks and such.

But having worked now in C for a short time, I assumed that was just part of the process, you write the code then you test it, debug it, test it some more, check error logs, watch the task manager for hanging processes, trace glitches etc. until it's fully demonstrated to work perfectly as you can make it.

You're still going to have to do all that stuff in rust too regardless of the baby buggy bumpers, or are they claiming that if it compiles at all then it's good and doesn't need testing?

Help me out here, i'm trying to learn.

This never got fixed?

Edited: I came off unnecessarily harsh last night and didn't mean to, was frustrated at the time, sorry about that.

I wouldn't call anything to do with Pulse harmless, I dislike it as much as you do, but in this case it's not doing anything Igor. Nothing wrong with going to the lengths you have gone to, but it's based on a false premise, and so in effect you're posting a false alarm with incorrect data.

I'm not trying for bit-perfect anything here, i'll leave stuff like that to the audio forums and people with novel-length .asoundrc's.

If it bugs a person that much, you can probably get rid of it a lot easier by just deleting the 2 pulse .so files in the alsa-lib folder, lol.

In any case, the only reason I posted in your thread the last couple days is because another user tagged me and asked a question, so I answered it and now i'll leave you to it and not bother you anymore today.

Interesting stuff and I agree with you about the need to simplify things, tagged so I can check out your work later. A DUR would be nice to have, I have some things that could go into it myself. Thanks for posting!
