as I wrote above, I am new to linux. Therefore, I'm not familiar with all these desktops yet. Gnome is used in Ubuntu and I more than liked it, so I installed it.
And judging by the screenshots on the Internet, MATE, which you mentioned, is somewhat reminiscent of the Windows desktop, and I'm tired of Windows. Want something new

This is not helpful at all. Gnome is a desktop that is offered in the devuan daedalus netinstall iso. Ive not been able to get it to work properly either. Maybe gnome desktop should be left off the chosen list of desktop environments as it relies far too heavily on systemd.

I guess the issue could be due to some missing GNOME dependencies since you went with the 'netinstall.iso'. Did you try the full 'desktop.iso'?

Hello everybody!

upgrading 'mpv' got some 'pipewire' messages

prior to the upgrade listening to online radio worked flawlessly

Is it necessary to delete the old 'pipewire' directory? If so, where is the new 'pipewire" directory?

/etc/pipewire

Is the 'pipewire' line during 'mpv' usage an issue?

It doesn't seem that -segment_times takes a filename argument. You could try -segment_times $(cat /media/split) and see if that works

hmm, that didn't occur to me...

here is the output

ffmpeg -i "/media/input.mp3" -vn -map 0 -f segment -segment_times $(cat /media/split) "output%03d.mp3"

adding the '-c copy' option produced one empty text file

interestingly, renaming the '/media/split' file as '.csv' automagically turned it into

cat /media/split.csv
duration 00:23:19, 00:33:15

and the output was

ffmpeg -i "/media/input.mp3" -vn -c copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_times $(cat /media/split.csv) "output%03d.mp3"

enjoy.

although I am sure the author(s) of that page believe(s) everything is explained clearly, regarding that issue it seems useless as long as there are only examples of putting the times directly in the command and there are no examples of how the file should look like

Hello everybody!

Trying to split one file into parts based on its silence gaps.

Using the '-segment_times' option of 'ffmpeg' with a file named '/media/split' containing the silence gaps times gives an error

ffmpeg -i "/media/input.mp3" -vn -map 0 -f segment -segment_times /media/split "output%03d.mp3"
[segment @ 0x624777763a40] Invalid time duration specification '/media/split' in times list /media/split
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- 
Conversion failed!

However, using the silence gaps times from that file directly works fine

ffmpeg -i "/media/input.mp3" -vn -map 0 -f segment -segment_times 00:23:19,00:33:15 "output%03d.mp3"

The file looks like this

Checked the 'ffmpeg' page here

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#segment

and it says

segment_times times

Specify a list of split points. times contains a list of comma separated duration specifications, in increasing order.

How should that file look in order for the command to work?
Thank you!

'dpkg --verify' gives nothing and reinstalling the package and its dependencies was the first thing I did (before goooogling about the issue and before posting here)
I installed it on a different partition with fresh installation of Devuan and it works fine there

I had used 'jfs' on this laptop in the past with 'Slackware' so there is no reason to doubt the CPU or the RAM capacity
But if you have some information that connects the CPU or the RAM capacity with 'jfs' I would like to read it if don't mind sharing the link to it

Hello everybody,

I installed Devuan on 'jfs' partition
As a result I get lots of warnings and errors which are not there on Devuan on 'ext4' partition
And on every boot there is a significance delay due to the system's necessity to automatically perform 'jfs.fsck' after the first 5 or 6 warnings
Is this the case (i.e. to be expected) when using 'jfs'?

Hello everybody!

I cannot find how to change the order of accounts in the folder
tree in sylpheed. Read the man pages but could not find the answer.

Changing their order in the Configuration -> Edit accounts menu
did not help.

How to do that?
Thank you in advance!

looks like in order for the keys to work one should first 'cd' into the folder
anyway...

Hello everybody!

but neither 'n', 'space', 'right' nor 'p', 'backspace', 'left' work

and to make things more mysterious the other keys are working

how to fix it?

are there any tangible benefits - performance-wise or security-wise - from upgrading from 5.10 to 5.19?

looks like your link points to an amd64 file and I too couldn't find a newer version (>2.11) for i386 available

which version is less likely to cause dependencies problems in the long run?
is there a way to avoid getting its dependencies manually?

started Ashenden by WS Maugham
in the Preface he shares some observations about the differences between facts and stories

Fact is a poor story-teller. It starts a story at haphazard, generally long before the beginning, rambles on inconsequently and tails off, leaving loose ends hanging about, without a conclusion. It works up to an interesting situation, and then leaves it in the air to follow an issue that has nothing to do with the point; it has no sense of climax and whittles away its dramatic effects in irrelevance. There is a school of novelists that looks upon this as the proper model for fiction. If life, they say, is arbitrary and disconnected, why, fiction should be so too; for fiction should imitate life. In life things happen at random, and that is how they should happen in a story; they do not lead to a climax, which is an outrage to probability, they just go on. Nothing offends these people more than the punch or the unexpected twist with which some writers seek to surprise their readers, and when the circumstances they relate seem to tend towards a dramatic effect they do their best to avoid it. They do not give you a story, they give you the material on which you can invent your own. Sometimes it consists of an incident presented, you might think, at haphazard, and you are invited to divine its significance. Sometimes they give you a character and leave it at that. They give you the materials for a dish and expect you to do the cooking yourself. Now this is one way like another of writing stories and some very good stories have been written in it. Chekov used it with mastery. It is more suitable for the very short story than for the longer one. The description of a mood, an environment or an atmosphere, can hold your attention for half a dozen pages, but when it comes to fifty a story needs a supporting skeleton. The skeleton of a story is of course its plot. Now a plot has certain characteristics that you cannot get away from. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. It is complete in itself. It starts with a set of circumstances which have consequences, but of which the causes may be ignored; and these consequences, in their turn the cause of other circumstances, are pursued till a point is reached when the reader is satisfied that they are the cause of no further consequences that need be considered. This means that a story should begin at a certain point and end at a certain point. It should not wander along an uncertain line, but follow, from exposition to climax, a bold and vigorous curve.
