#26 Re: DIY » How to swap out sound cards at will, » 2026-05-17 19:17:37
@greenjeans Well I wonder how much of it I am supposed to use then.
Btw, at present my .asoundrc says this:
pcm.!default {
type sndio
}
I wonder if its possible to enable both cards at the same time. It would be peculiar though.
#27 Re: DIY » How to swap out sound cards at will, » 2026-05-16 22:13:23
@fsmithred sadly then I can't use it then.
I already can do that with a reboot.
I just plug in the usb audio in first and then it naturally loads when I boot up.
Want to do it without rebooting aka the swap.
#28 Re: DIY » How to swap out sound cards at will, » 2026-05-16 22:11:44
What should I call this and where should I put it?
#29 Re: DIY » How to swap out sound cards at will, » 2026-05-16 17:50:57
@ralph.ronnquist
Not sure what you mean by that refer element.
just sayin
EDIT:
I tried what he suggested and something didn't work, I don't know why.
EDIT: again, I see what happened.
I should mention my previous setup here. It also uses sndio as well and alsa-sndio:
#
# ALSA
#
# ALSA settings by default
defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.pcm.subdevice -1
defaults.rawmidi.card 0
defaults.rawmidi.device 0
defaults.rawmidi.subdevice -1
defaults.hwdep.card 0
defaults.hwdep.device 0
defaults.timer.card 0
defaults.timer.device 0
defaults.timer.subdevice 0
#
# sndio on ALSA (alsa-sndio)
#
# Uncomment it to use sndio sound server on PCM (this requires alsa-sndio)
pcm.default sndio
# sndio PCM settings by default
defaults.pcm.sndio.device snd/0
defaults.pcm.sndio.volume 127
#defaults.pcm.sndio.playback.device snd/0
#defaults.pcm.sndio.playback.volume 127
#defaults.pcm.sndio.capture.device snd/0
# Uncomment it to use sndio sound server on RawMIDI (this requires alsa-sndio)
#rawmidi.default sndio
# sndio RawMIDI settings by default
defaults.rawmidi.sndio.device midi/0
I need all of this to stay there probably.
and the 0s to switch to 1s probably.
In this setup I notice 0 is the one that plays and 1 is the one tat doesn't.
Whichever is set to sound card 0 in alsamixer is the one that plays. If this helps let me know.
#30 Re: DIY » How to swap out sound cards at will, » 2026-05-15 19:42:28
@fsmithred does this let you swap out a card whenever and also what should I call file? And where should I put it.

I want to know how to do this to use usb audio and without the following:
anything related to pulseaudio, pipewire, or other obnoxious linux frameworks.
alsa fine though.
#32 Re: Freedom Hacks » Chasing the Fox (Caccia alla volpe) » 2026-05-05 03:13:41
interesting, so what would you have to do to get it running with sndio?
I am very curious.
Also, what is required specifically to get it working on the above?
I am a bit confused

@ron blackhole is right, there is no left in the US.
If you want socialist, go to European countries like Sweden or Denmark
#34 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-05-03 04:26:05
@golinux they won't be satisfied it seems till we have zero freedom of any kind.
I think this is why some people on mastodon, say "Eat the rich"
Or think violence is needed to deal with them.
It no doubt is the wrong way, but I wonder if there is even a right way at this point.
This disturbs me greatly.
#35 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] GENUEN starting GUI » 2026-05-03 04:24:02
There's also something Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre devs found called sx
It does what startx does but is even more minimal and I have used it, no issues once its all set up. Then you just copy paste a backup in case when you reinstall your os, etc...

@nx22 you beat me to it, but yeah, was going to say that appimages don't require systemd.
i don't think flatpaks do either but snaps who knows.

I have to agree it probably is...
#38 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » GTK2 Revival thread » 2026-04-21 19:06:24
If I run into any when using it.
But I tend not to use gtk2 as much on my devuan install, except maybe for palemoon.

For whatever reason, I used to not have this problem, but now every time I suspend for a certain length, probably an hour or more...
I can no longer press power or function key to get it to come back online on my T480.
I end up having to shut down the computer by force. Really... really annoying.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
I am 100% stumped.
I wonder if this is a libreboot issue or a T480 issue.
My guess is probably the first, but I don't know what specifically would cause this.
#40 Re: Off-topic » GTK2 Removed from Arch's Repositories » 2026-04-20 01:39:24
@golinux actually redhat also kills freedom. They are where the biggest bs comes from.
wayland, systemd, dbus, avahi, elogind, pulseaudio, pipewire, network-manager and probably others too.
I detest corporations especially redhat.
I am sure most people here, including myself use corporate hardware, but there is no reason to use corporate software when you don't need to.

@ralph.ronnquist it is kind of like preaching to the choir...

@brocashelm
I made an issue on xlibre anyhow since I posted this for xlibre to add unveil & pledge functions to xlibre like xenocara has but with linux.
We will see how that goes I guess.
But yeah, point being, you might have a point.
EDIT accidentally clicked solved, but w/e it doesn't matter too much.
#44 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-03-28 01:44:55
@slonik good to know, I won't recommend CachyOS to anyone now.
This law will likely make kids more targetted not less.
Screw Zuckerberg for this and anyone who supports his bs.

Still using Hyperbola on some of my comps and Devuan on my gaming one
#46 Re: DIY » SHED init independient/agnostic user services » 2026-03-10 21:27:16
@EDX-0
My bad, I was unaware that it didn't require elogind.
By xession manager what do you mean?
like lxsession? or xlibre/xorg/etc...
Curious
#47 Re: DIY » SHED init independient/agnostic user services » 2026-03-07 04:39:45
@EDX-0 I would recommend using as few bloated linux frameworks as possible if you want to make this a good init.
But if this is just an experiment/just to learn something, then ignore this comment.
What I meant though is elogind is one of those bloated frameworks.
Runit is also are both lighter on annoying depends. I don't know yet though how much regarding dinit though. Haven't really used it.

@Devarch fair enough about artix. I was unaware about this.
#49 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] DNS stopped working on Devuan Ceres » 2026-02-28 16:46:24
@abower I would trust testing LONG before I trusted unstable 
#50 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] DNS stopped working on Devuan Ceres » 2026-02-28 13:39:11
Bold of you to use Ceres, the one time I tried it, I ran into LOTS of issues.
I learned my lesson lol.
Honestly if you want to do a rolling release os there are better options out there then devuan.
Voidlinux & artixlinux both fit that bill.
But yeah, I second what golinux said. That is what unstable does.
Surprised you haven't had more hiccups.
