#526 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Perfomance Devuan Ceres vs Windows 7 » 2022-10-21 14:26:32
Hello! Can you explain? Why under Win7x32 i feel much better and smoother overall perfomance than on Devuan Ceres x64?
Because Win7 is obsolete and unsupported. Ancient software tends to run faster.
#527 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Realtet 8852 wireless in Chimaera » 2022-10-21 14:23:46
I found out that linux-image-amd64 was already there and when I tried to reinstall it apt answered that the 5.10 kernel would be installed; so
I quit.
You need to target chimaera-backports for that package, just as you did for the individual kernel package.
The backported metapackge is needed. You will soon be running an outdated kernel with known vulnerabilities if you don't install it.
#528 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Realtet 8852 wireless in Chimaera » 2022-10-21 05:43:17
The rtw89 driver was mainlined for kernel 5.16 so you will need the backported kernel. Use the linux-image-amd64 metapackage, that will always depend on the latest version.
#529 Re: Other Issues » Broken after dist-upgrade Daedalus » 2022-10-14 15:33:33
I have to move from ceres to daedalus. After ~ 2 month on cerres the system was broken completely and irreversibly. System update of cause. Now the story repeats with daedalus. It breaks every 2-3 weeks.
Both daedalus & ceres are development branches. They are supposed to break. If you want a stable experience run the stable release.

Ah, is Refracta running without Recommends then? BunsenLabs also does that, despite my advice to the contrary.
#534 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] TP-Link AX3000 (Archer TX3000E) PCIe WiFi card not working on Refracta » 2022-10-11 06:43:59
The AX210 needs kernel >5.10 and the firmware to match but it has had a lot of problems, or at least a lot of threads about it over at the Arch forums. Try searching there for more details. I didn't bother with those threads myself 'cos I don't have that hardware.

here what I got in the last lines
What about the text before that? Did the zfs module build successfully? It's always best to post full logs and error messages; link to a pastebin site if they're very large.

^ Good call! 
#539 Re: Installation » Install ZFS » 2022-10-09 13:38:56
Yes, I would add it to all three. Point release updates originate in chimaera-updates; chimaera-security supplies updates from the Debian Security Team[0]. You need both, ideally.
[0] So good they're always Capitalised.
EDIT: yes, you need the headers to build the ZFS module. Install the linux-headers-amd64 metapackage, that will always depend on the latest version.
The best approach to prepare the system for custom module builds such as ZFS is:
# apt install module-assistant
# m-a prepare^ That should pull in everything you need to build the modules, no need to specify header versions or anything else.
#540 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] optimized initramfs howto » 2022-10-09 13:04:25
If you need udev, your minimization efforts will most likely be in vain.
That statement refers to Arch's udev hook. Debian does not use the same methods as Arch so the statement is irrelevant.
For the record I'm using a "minified" initramfs in my Arch box and even with zstd compression[0] it's still double the size of the OP's in this thread — klibc ftw!
[0] I prefer no compression with my images 'cos I have a hellafast hard drive.

#542 Re: Installation » Install ZFS » 2022-10-09 12:56:32
Should I add
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii main contrib
No. Just add contrib to the extant chimaera repositories.
and what is http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii main contrib ?
That's the main mirror for the ASCII release. You should prefer deb.devuan.org to avoid stressing the main mirror unnecessarily.

The new screenshot tool is lovely but I can't take a screenshot of it to show you 
EDIT: that was a bad idea, Assetto Corsa Competizione lost ~20fps and kept crashing under GNOME. Uninstalled.
EDIT2: uninstalled GNOME, that is. I would rather install Windows to get it working than remove ACC. Best. Game. Ever.
#544 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 09:02:03
Thank you. That output indicates that the software side of things is working. A driver is assigned and the output is correct.
So are you sure the speakers actually work? When was the last time they produced sound? Do they work with any other live ISO?
#545 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 08:29:57
speaker-test # in the alsa-utils package command nevers stops giving output
Please provide that output. This is the last time I will ask.

Read the MODULES section in
man initramfs.confOnce the changes have been made regenerate the initramfs:
# update-initramfs -u -k allEDIT: or try
dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-toolsBut that's just a guess. I've never tried it and I'm not in De{vu,bi}an atm.
#548 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 06:57:37
no sound after running
speaker-test # in the alsa-utils package
I didn't ask if that command produced sound.
I asked for the full output from that command. I need to see the full error message, if there is one.
firmware-sof-signed and firmware-intel-sound
output isReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package firmware-intel-sounddebian packages only?
Nope:

Fix /etc/apt/sources.list and update then try those packages again. If your sources are incomplete then *many* other packages might be missing.
#549 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-07 15:45:23
drivers not support, driver is on ALSA list of unsupported drivers.
Please provide a link to support this statement.
My research indicates both cards should have drivers:
https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id … -1043-1d8d
https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:1002-aae0-1002-aae0
And you do have an analogue output device listed in the aplay output so clearly something has a driver.
Please post the full output of
speaker-test # in the alsa-utils packageHas the sound ever worked on this machine? Are you sure it's not broken?
EDIT: try the firmware-misc-nonfree, firmware-sof-signed and firmware-intel-sound packages.
EDIT2: or use the isenkram package to determine any needed firmware.

Why are you posting about ancient kernel versions?
$ cat /proc/version

$Poor old sid is still on 5.19.11, lagging behind has it advantages sometimes...
EDIT: looks like this might be a consequence of Intel's support for their new Arc graphics cards. Regressions are a pain but at least Intel are finally putting some effort into their graphics stack. Disclaimer: this is just a guess.
