hello ,

i am dual-booting the laptop that is of US origin
and has Windows 10 installed< (CE Time)

now on another disk it runs now effectively Devuan,
and the issue is that after i login to Devuan , the time becomes +1 ( i dont know exactly why, but probably because it is here greenwhich +1)

now if i set the time right in Devuan, then afterwards log into Windows , then the time is messed up there (CET -1)

effectively it is a mess<
i was hoping to set the time right in BIOS and that should be about it, but it seems the operating system is changing time by itself easily and changing BIOS time<

now the solution on Ubuntu has been to insert this command

sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

but i cannot insert this on Devuan.

Can you please show me an equivalent command to insert to achieve then the proper time that also withstands rebooting into the respective Operating systems_?

Thank you very much.

@kapqa Yeah computers can be damn strange at times, good to read it now works for you.

yep it worked for some days only, today yesterday i had to switch to the your linked .xsessionrc

# Added when  startx to start pipewire on login to desktop
# https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867

# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1

exec /usr/bin/pipewire &

# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &

exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

don't know what triggered the change, got a knew kernel probably, and the simpler .xsessionrc would produce a dummy output.

#28 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-16 15:02:16

@RedGreen925 tried also this script, but then it would not have any audio at all.

at first i was bit bothered since i did not have any controls in the task bar, only pavucontrol seemed fnction in the menu (next to alsamixer ofcourse);
but today strangely the audio switching applet is back in the taskbar for XFCE4; don't know if i installed something extra, probably, but glad it now function;
will report after attempted to use alsa only; for the moment the pipewire seems already enhancement.

#29 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-12 20:08:36

the Daedalus has according to "pactl info" the pulseaudio only;

after installing "pipewire" according to Debian wiki for 12

In its most basic form, PipeWire can be installed simply by installing the pipewire package. 
For Debian 12 and newer, pipewire-audio-client-libraries is replaced by pipewire-alsa and pipewire-jack. It is recommended to install the metapackage pipewire-audio which depends on wireplumber (the recommended session manager), pipewire-pulse (to replace PulseAudio), pipewire-alsa (ALSA) and libspa-0.2-bluetooth (for Bluetooth support). Moreover, installing this metapackage will remove pulseaudio to prevent any conflicts between both sound server. 

afterwards, alsamixer does not find any audio anymore ("host is down")

the step here by StopAi gives the pipewire on Devuan 5.0 ago

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867

Next, put these lines to your

.xsessionrc

file

wireplumber &

pipewire &

pipewire-pulse &

Attention! Order is important here!

After installing these packages and configuring your xsession, it is recommended to reboot the system.

now the pipewire seems function better, just first impression, hopefullly the step to alsa-only will also be doable.

thanks.

#30 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-12 16:22:26

If you do not know how to configure ALSA, any card may sound crappy.

this may be the case,
but it be a long time since the sound on linux so much irritated me;

most probably have a "faulty" setup;

for example, when i use program "quod libet" on devuan 5,

and have maximum volume on both system volume, and program volume, for quod libet, much songs do "overreact" and sound as if cranked up over 100%, very noisy;

the same , with same setup, same program, same 100% settings, same songs, does however not happen on ubuntu 24.04, which sounds clean(er).

the devuan 5.0 has been installed with default desktop (xfce4).
installed kernel is like 6.1.0.28;
don't know if pipewire or pulseaudio etc. is being used;

thanks.

#RedGreen925

funny you post this item since had just tried it today (had one similar looking the same stacked away in the shelf) but this one did not make any difference (to my ears=) on Devuan in quality; on Windows 11 did not even find the driver ().
But fortunatley the DAC that had relegated secondrow since it gave me problems lately has been re-vived, and for the moment i am satisfied; it gives quite better sound than onboard;
will probably wait and maybe invest in better speakers.

prices seem to fluctuate; paid such a unit around 140 euro maybe 5 years ago and even then it was expensive and certainly no bargain; but the next one with beter IO was already 350 euro +
https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/p … acmagic100

was thinking on the creative pcie 5'plus , but since i am not using headphones very much at the moment i think the DAC could do it for the moment.

thanks.

#32 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-07 16:52:36

@igorzwx,

at the moment bit wary to try too much since took me enough time to setup the linux box;

however, i am bit disappointed with the sound quality on linux for my new computer;
provided, the  onboard soundcodec is very basic (    Realtek ALC897 )
since was thinking to save money to later upgrade to a PciE Soundcard etc;

but on Windows the spotify could sound very  much better; when compared to Devuan or Ubuntu 24.ß4;
up until now was thinking that Linux has issues with soundquality mainly on Laptops (Yes!)
but now beginning to think that the sound maybe too thin on Desktop aswell;

hope to get better experience with a dedicated Soundcard ; altough it seems , Creative does not (provide driver)(support)( Linux?
it should still get better soundstage?
or should i use an USB DAC?`

thanks.

@greenjeans, actually i have upgraded with "excalibur" and have just changed afterwards the dictation to "testing" to see if it makes any difference;

have tried these "fixes" here

"Enabling/disabling wake up from suspend for USB devices"
https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/ … usb-device

"udev rule"
https://gist.github.com/bendavis78/57e9 … 75acdba394

but it does not make any difference, have also tried attaching a usb keyboard to see if it wakes from that, to no avail;
as said, the keyboard, which normally wakes, is on the ps/2 port, but actually it has a usb-connector (it is one of those cherry, which comes with ps/2 adapter)
those ps/2 port seem not covered by these "hacks" above with lsusb etc.

possibly the "excalibur" is not ready yet, lets hope the best.

EDIT: @greenjeans, could you please the share name for "microcode" you installed, since have also AMD graphics card installed (rx 7000).

hello , i am still having this issue on excalibur with "Linux devuan 6.12.6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.6-1 (2024-12-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
"

XFCE4 does wake from sleep on Devuan 5.0;
however upgrading to Devuan 6.0 does break it;

is there a solution , or do i just need another kernel?

i have installed just the standard ATI driver package

sudo apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all

the solution provided by @tyrlak does not seem solve in my case, thanks.

EDIT: maybe the upgrade to Excalibur was not properly done, sine i am getting error like these

Error: The repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing-security Release' does not have a Release file.
Notice: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

EDIT2:

during boot there are some status messages, the first one is

config failed: usb hub doesn't have any  ports

or similar.

my mainboard uses a ps/2 port where i have connected the keyboard?

hello ,

i ran into this issue on Devuan 5.0

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by minitube)

there is a solution found involving pulling docker image of testing,
but this seems not vaiable for devuan

https://cplusplus.com/forum/unices/285889/

docker run -it debian:sid
Unable to find image 'debian:sid' locally

Unable to find image 'devuan:testing' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for devuan, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

can this docker image for devuan be included?
or
is there another way to upgrade this package easily without necessarily upgrading to testing already yet?

thank you.

jehjeh i did connect to internet already ,
my first laptop had already modem, plus i got an isdn card like such one
https://docs.rs-online.com/04a6/0900766b8002b85f.pdf

to be honest, ISDN was great qualitY;
then when ADSL came along, we switched, and now i am kinda mssing it , on the phone side:)

lets see what 2025 brings along!
happy computing!

#37 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-28 00:26:46

yes, it did install,
but have not yet tested functionality, since have no fax number to send to,
and sending fax to own phone number probably wont work.

but on ubuntu have received fax (via webservice), it was bit strange noises, but did function in the end; have still to find out how this works (by not creating much noise in the house).

thanks for all the help, i would consider it (hopefully) (partly) solved.

#38 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-27 20:37:40

oh thanks,

i tried the older driver (PC FAX1)

which does indeed install with the help of lsb-compat which has been kindly provided by debian-archive

http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/m … _amd64.deb

afterwards,

PC-FAX (old version)

does install and need no "systemctl"

but could be that in future version this solution no longer works since cups is giving some message that in future CUPS some feature may be disabled or similar.

#39 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-27 20:06:10

thanks, i got it running on ubuntu already, it should function then also on devuan (with lsb-compat the printer over usb does already, ethernet also (ofcourse))

the driver are here

specifically for et-5170

and here the info on how to install the fax package on linux plus usage

EDIT:

i copied binary "epfax2" into /usr/local/bin
but there is another binary "backend" > "epsonfax2" don't know where to put thsi one.

the proper link for the fax package is here

#40 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-27 16:53:14

thank you,

its good to have it installed, am still using phone at home, glad if i might use it sometime;

will resort to manual install:

1. data.tar.gz > contents have installed in the respective directories "/usr/share/cups/model/Epson" and "/opt/epson/epson-pc-fax2/
2. control.tar.gz > do i need to use those aswell? they are shell scripts named "postinst" "postrm" "prerm" > probably those are needed for the install procedure, so most probably the manual install is done then by moving the above folders.

EDIT: it seems the manual copying did not suffice, still getting error after reboot

the application ins question is still not happy with the result, maybe some other component of AMD Driver is mssing;

the request of Program is listed as

"Properly installed video drivers including OpenCL ICD"

on Devuan Excalibur,

i have installed drivers according to "Debian Standards" like here

https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo

apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all

plus the package you suggested

rocm-opencl-icd

so probably i need this package "ROCM" instead of the driver above suggested by Debian Wiki?

is this even available for Devuan?

maybe you can help or/and point in the right direction.

the program fails to initiate frame rendering with the current setup;

Hello ,

i am wanting to install the proper Printer Driver for Epson ET-.5170 printer;

so far it function over USB after installing LSB-compat from Stretch,

however, the package

#45 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2024-12-21 21:07:41

can someone please write a guide on "howto" do devuan with alsa-only?

had it done multiple times, but that was still debian 7, maybe 8, 
times have gotten bit more diversified,

now with devuan 5.0 this pc does sound cranky,
would love to have an alsa-only, as it sounded always cleaner to me.

#46 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (AMD A10-9700 APU) OpenCL > OpenCL subsystem isn't available » 2024-12-21 15:07:19

Opencl is currently enabled in rocm on debian, available as rocm-opencl-icd.

You would have to run (devuan) testing or unstable to use it.

Hello ,

would this need that is still need to install "rocm" on Devuan 6.0?

there is official package amdgpu rocm from AMD, but this is installable on Devuan only via tricks.

"rocm-opencl-icd" alone seem not suffice for proper OpenCL;
sorry if i got it wrong around.

#47 Re: Installation » Devuan 5 not Booting on 2005 Toshiba Tecra A7 Intel Centrino Duo » 2024-12-17 09:13:59

you can use older version of rufus on XP to create the USB,
but it would probably complain that linux uses newer bootfile or something and tries to download it and could fail doing that.

best bet on older systems is to burn ISO to CD/DVD and boot from that, just my experience.
<just had mayor problems booting off Ventoy on older AMD II system. booting of DVD no problemo.

on Linux normally i use mkusb to create bootable linux USB, found it more realiable than Unetbootin

Hei SpongeBob,

that could be , but then most probably on side of Devuan=?

just discovered Parole lately, like the fact that i would automatically pickup all the files in directory and show them to play as playlist when hovering mouse to the right.

hello ,

i have noticed that the default player Parole
won#t play mp4 from over network; having stored files locally on a NAS, it would not play them back;

have noticed that on another computer with KDE (probably (k)ubuntu) Parole would function to play MP4 (over network) so maybe the player is needing some other setting or plugins?

when i copy file over to local HDD , no problem to playback.

thanks

#50 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Rhythmbox DLNA Server search broken after Daedalus update » 2024-12-01 18:52:25

hello , you can activate the sharing again via Preferences / Plugins / DAAP Music sharing .
afterwards, the DLNA shares are again visible on the rhythmbox here.
it is enabled by default on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04< for some reason, on Debian 12/13 no longer enabled by default, hence the same behaviour seen on Devuan 5.0 and Excalibur.
