pretty sure I have gnome-key and a gtk3 powered login... (I only see it if I log out...)

I am running Plasma/kde

#403 Re: Installation » There is no sound! » 2022-10-14 07:01:13

Is it in the list if you type

service --status-all

OpenRC used here as my init(?), I see it with rc-update.

this may help... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet

Glenn do have a config exsample to blacklist hdmi?

Yes I do. I'll put it here but be warned there are many modules that rely/depend on hdmi.

I stopped using the blacklist when I was trying to get BT sound reliably configured.

here is a copy...

/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/blacklist.conf

# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug
# see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat
blacklist edac_mce_amd
blacklist edac
## Best not to blacklist modules that depend on eachother
blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi  #hdmi nvidia digital stereo
#blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek #hda onboard 5.1 surround
#blacklist snd_hda_intel
#blacklist snd_hda_codec
#blacklist snd_usb_audio

blacklist rivatv
blacklist bluetooth
# For some bridges both intel-agp and i82875p_edac are loaded. If i82875p_edac
# is loaded first it will grab the device. Then intel-agp doesn't work.
# Therefore we disable automatic loading of 82875p_edac. (Bug 213840)
# https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213840
blacklist i82875p_edac

# do not use "Boot Protocol" drivers, we prefer usbhid
# and they cause problems when loaded together with usbhid (#37726, #40861)
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbmouse

# disable PC speaker by default
# pcspkr is the standard driver, while snd-pcsp is the ALSA driver
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nv

# Prevent conflicts with nvidiabl
blacklist nvidia_bl
blacklist nvbacklight
blacklist mbp_nvidia_bl
# End of entries added for nvidiabl

...in it's totallity... I think that file maybe a leftover from another distro.

I did this instead so the snd-hda* dependants satisfied
/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/modprobe.d/snd-options

options snd-usb-audio index=0 bdl_pos_adj=16,16
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd_hda_codec_hdmi index=-2
options snd-pcsp index=-2

current /home/glenn/.asoundrc

#defaults.pcm.card 1 #usb-audio
#defaults.ctl.card 1 #usb-audio
# Generic_1
defaults.pcm.Generic_1 #usb-audio
defaults.ctl.Generic_1 #usb-audio

I don't have it blacklisted anymore.

current /etc/modules

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
snd-usb-audio

Hope this helps.

#408 Re: Installation » Install ZFS » 2022-10-10 00:38:21

zfsutils-linux maybe in backports... for chimaera.

You may add backports the same way you added contrib, as mentioned above.

I can redirect > the output to a file and then use the file.

CTRL+C ENTER will stop the pink noise when the buffer is empty (takes a couple of secs).

#411 Re: Documentation » Help - list all services » 2022-09-20 05:15:46

I have open-rc and so we can use,

rc-update

to view status.

you can add, del or change a service and start level.

rc-update del nethack-common default
rc-update add nethack-common off

I have seen that the old service commands mostly still work, I don't use many of them, and only know a few.

status gives +-? results

service --status-all

type "service" to see the command options.

Hope this helps.

I'd also like to go ALSA-only, but ALSA configuration is quite confusing.

I think the best I could do is get applications like Firefox to have working sound, but Steam and others did not (even with apulse).

My experience has been very similar, sadly. Before I had a computer my entertainment system had an outboard mixer... Plug anything in and go.

hello,

i tried this tonight ,

but don't know if this solution is still viable for devuan in2022.

atleast one this laptop here i get the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-devel : Depends: wine-devel (= 7.17~buster-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

this happens on devuan beowulf for all 3 options (stable, developemnet or staging).

dont know if this applies to devuan beowulf in general, as i have upgraded from jessie probably up to beowulf, and in the process maybe used once or twice also the "deb-multimedia" repository.

Hi Kapqa, you may need to remove any packages from "deb-multimedia" repository. Fix the install and then if you really have too, re-install the multimedia packages.

#416 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-09-12 23:22:04

They are available... Usually I find them by searching the Version number (using synaptic package manager)

Header files for Linux 5.19.0-1-amd64
Common header files for Linux 5.19.0-1

They may not be backports, I have them installed.

#417 Re: Installation » name of log for error/warning messages seen during boot » 2022-09-06 23:22:24

Hi, These can be revealing sometimes... You may need to be root to access these files.

search dmesg for errors,

dmesg | grep -i "erro\|fail\|warn"

search xorg for errors,

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)\|(EE)\|(??)"

I hope this helps you.

#419 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] Install VirtualBox 6.1.36 on DEVUAN 5 » 2022-08-31 22:52:51

I used to use vBox, I thought it was really good. Generally I used to use it for one game "DiD's F22".

Once that game was irreversibly tanked remotely, I gave up on vBox.

But I remember struggling to get vBox configured and eventaually having a system that was reliable and flexible.

I was still using Mandriva in those days.

#420 Re: Other Issues » move Devuan to a bigger partition » 2022-08-30 03:44:56

For the /home directory, I would use rsync -avh to copy files back to the new home.

But the system dir is another thing.  when you format or change a drive size it will get a new UUID, you'll need that for fstab and possibly grub.

blkid  and lsblk helps.

#421 Re: Devuan » Loving Devuan » 2022-08-26 23:12:19

They don't ship to Australia.

I can send the bill to Aust, but not the product.

I sent an email alerting them of the ommission, and they suggested I use the .com.au site, <edit> https://www.spreadshirt.com.au/shop/clothing/t-shirts/ </edit> ... but I can't find the product (coffee cup, t'shirt) on that site.

Looks like they don't want to sell stuff.
