#326 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » PulseAudio? Seriously!? » 2019-07-06 02:13:46
You can see what packages depend on a package via rdepends:
apt rdepends gstreamer1.0-pulseaudioAnd you can "try-out" a purge of a package by use of the -s option, to see what would be removed along with it:
apt -s purge gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
I ran apt rdepends gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio and this is the result. What does the line before some of the items on the list mean, if anything? At first I thought it meant that those are installed apps since I noticed Handbrake has one, but I checked some of the others and they weren't installed. Is there a way to get results of only installed apps on my system?
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

Out of curiosity I checked what I had installed. While I don't have pulseaudio installed, I do have gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio, libpulse-mainloop-glib0, and libpulse0 installed. Can I delete these 3 without any adverse effects? Thanks.
#328 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Codec needed for Handbrake » 2019-06-28 01:25:48
Handbrake uses ffmpeg already so you could look around in the Handbrake documentation for options on the codec you are looking for.
BTW SMPplayer is also using ffmpeg for playing your video.
I look around in Preferences and there's nothing there to select/switch codecs. I'll see if I can find anything on their website.
#329 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Codec needed for Handbrake » 2019-06-26 21:24:27
Thanks. I'm used to Handbrake, but maybe I'll give ffmpeg (i.e., winff) a try.

Handbrake doesn't recognize the audio portion on videos made with my camera. I have to first convert the audio with Audacity to m4a format, then mux that new audio together with the original camera video, then use that new file to reencode the video to a manageable size (I use passthrough for the audio since it has already been converted with Audacity). I noticed when I play the original video file with SMPlayer that is uses the pcm_mulaw codec (which I guess is an internal SMPlayer codec). Is there a codec I can install via Synaptic that Handbrake would use to recognize this? I searched Synaptic for "mulaw" but that search came up empty. Then I search "pcm" and that gave a few hits, but I'm clueless if anything there would solve this problem. One entry, morse2ascii, says "tool for decoding the morse codes from a PCM WAV file." This seems to be what I need (EDIT: on further research, this does not seem to be what I need). Any ideas? Thanks.

Speaking of Glen Campbell...his guitar playing was amazing. People like to talk about shredding a guitar. He could shred it, put it back together, and then shred it again.
Fun fact: he played guitar on quite a few Beach Boys songs. I got to see him in Vegas in 2006 (or maybe it was 2007).

I've been using Pale Moon for years and love it. If you run into any problems (because Pale Moon has diverged far away from Firefox things that work in FF may not work in PM, but there are usually alternatives) I'd suggest searching the PM forums. Or post here (in off topic I suppose). I usually visit this forum at least once a day.

#336 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Weird message while updating the system » 2019-05-01 01:09:39
Well, I just retried it today before trying anything else, and everything installed like it normally does without any kind of messages.
So is everything good to go and I got a fully up-to-date system? ?

When trying to install updates tonight, I got a message box that read:
Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?So I clicked "no." Below is the message I got afterwards:

404 Not FoundI've never had this happen before. Should these 3 things become available later on? Should I just redo this again and click "Yes" this time, or just wait?

Real good marketing ploy . . . exposing your own user base as supposed idiots. That makes the "jokers" the idiots.

I reckon the Devuan devs just didn't think anybody would be stupid enough to think the joke was real.
Making your own website looked hacked, that's the real stupidity.

Your Dr. says, you have cancer...nah just yanking your chain.There comes a time when people need to grow up, its not about being frat boys and sorority girls anymore. The dev's need to stop hiding behind some false hacker ethos to shrug off poor judgement. Big difference between honest mistakes and poor judgement.
Nicely put. And so true.

So fooling people that use your product is "awesome"? That's just plain stupid. Yes, I'm angry over this. It didn't cost me work time, it cost me some time from my time off of work. There's a good reason why people and businesses that put out products for a profit don't fool their customers. This "joke" was not smart.

This was not harmless humor. I'd still like to know who did this, and how high up the Devuan food-chain they are. Making your own website look like it was hacked? How stupid can you get? If people don't take Devuan seriously, it looks like now they got a reason. Way to go.
P.S. I really do want to know how high this person is on the Devuan food-chain. The higher up they are, the dumber this "joke" was.
