Consider using an OEM written media to test the drive.

what do you mean by that? like an audio CD that came from a Musicshop? or a Film - DVD?

no, no dmesg , but had checked previously , and the drive figured among the long listing.

now mac is back to mac os x; will check another time with a live-session.

EDIT: if on mac it says "unreadable", there is high chance it is "readable" but contains a linux session or similar, that for mac is just not "readable" out of the box, but still perfectly readable for the drive itself.

hello igorzwx,

i am still experimenting with Desktop OS; none has yet fully satisfied, but that is outside of scope.

would you mind giving a comment on Kubuntu since it is functioning quite well since i have newer system with AMD graphics and need for some Amdgpu driver sometimes for DRM to watch TV on Computer etc.

now if i attempt your "trick" with removeing Pulseaudio et Pipewire getting this

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gstreamer1.0-pipewire* kubuntu-desktop* libcanberra-pulse* pipewire* pipewire-bin* pipewire-pulse* plasma-pa* pulseaudio-utils* wireplumber*

this on kubuntu 25.04 (wayland enabled); practically it removes the whole desktop, as it did on debian 7 and 8 with gnome3 if one attempted to remove pulseaudio;

is it safe to do? this install is already sort of a "hybrid" since there are no official amdgpu drivers outside of (for Ubuntu) outside Ubuntu LTS (hence atm 22.04 and 24.04).

Thanks.

it seems the media itself it good (containing a Devuan Full.iso installer)

on the mac side it reads it, or better, recognizes it as "not readable".

well thank you, this has functioned beautifully.

really one big problemsolver! best of wishes.

EDIT: i don't necessarily "like" arch, but they tend to have good documentation.

no luck this time with apulse

have inserted the error on github support page, maybe the develper can help. thanks!

have tested with app cmus and set output_plugin to alsa however it still would not play; any ideas?:::

error is

Error: opening audio device: No such file or directory

the audio however is playing fine through firefox and/or mpv, rhythmbox etc.

thanks, but i have not yet s/pdif on the PC motherboard; was planning to buy the pcie x1 card , but postponed; will check then.

yes, i have heard that sound over USB may be spotty, and although it seems there offer higher bandwith intotal when compared to s/pdif, that may well not be the whole there is to the story.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

it seems the drive itself is recognized, but it would recognize any media?

Hello ,

have installed Devuan 5.0 on an older Mac and attached an even older optical DVD Drive (Lightscribe-enabled) via Firewire 800/400 Adapter and cable;

The drive is not being recognized eg. not shown in File Manager when i insert optical media;

Can someone please help to debug the issue;

Have read somewhere that firewire is supposedly still being actively maintained for some time;

Thanks.

kapqa · Desktop and Multimedia

spec is perhaps

usb 1.0 > max. 24/96khz
usb 2.0> max 24/192khz

macos> over usb > max 24/192khz
s/pdif > max 24/96?

yes, little experience, but now it sounds better.

it seems if i switch to USB 2.0 mode, it wouldn't play, but maybe just needs to be re-configured again properly; will test some more.

could be wrong about those; there should be upsampling on the DAC from source material to 24/384, but this is not shown on the device itself;

Hello ,

this post is for troubleshooting a alsa setup on LinuxMint;

maybe it can help troubleshoot someone else, too.

setup was attempted with kind help of user @igorzwx

issue is with

whenever i change something there, it seems then to revert back to initial settings as shown here

i mean, the setting is changed factually, from HDMI to DAC (as desired), but arateconf shows itself as if HDMI is default when i evoke it next time, or is this by default?

thanks

EDIT: it seems that the DAC has now effectively switch to 24Bit/96Khz, so maybe something has saved and worked.
EDIT2: ~~sound however always revert back to HDMI, even if i set the output in Mate Sound Settings Output (from HDMI to USB DAC) > next time opening, its back to HDMI.~~
EDIT3: it seems arateconf is taking precedence, so maybe this can be solved?

hello , my issue is with [color]arateconf[/color] it is saving but not saving any settings. since i am using mint/(which is based on ubuntu, in turn based on debian) am i at fault?

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

Hello ,

i have received a DAC and would like to use it for playback with the PC;

have it connected via USB port to the Computer; it supposedly is already connected in USB 2.0 Mode (vs. USB 1.0).

However, if i playback a track in 24/192, the sampling does not change.

the file is from here
https://msbtechnology.com/support/bit-perfect-testing/

Do i need to manually change the setup or why would pipewire/pulseaudio and friends not pick up the proper sampling rate?

Thanks.

reember something like my first powerbook g4, even if i had it closed for like a long time,
still could open it and would have some battery and re-open last screen.

now, with the new standby thing, don't know,
atleast with linux, it takes no time at all to suck the juice out of battery , and everything gone. you can not even easily swap a battery without a screwdriver; quite ridicoulous situation we are in at the moment.

even if you shut the laptop down, it still loses battery in like nothing time, and you are left without a charge; might just have bought stupid devices, but that has also been a "discovery" of lately. i mean i have shut down the laptop, why would it loose still battery so fast?

kapqa · Installation

thanks rolfie,

yes, i mada error in setting it up; now its function Beowulf;

would be nice if there is an "ption" to "transport" the nvidia-legacy-340xx over atleast to Devuan 4.0!

kapqa · Installation

thanks, ended up (for now) with a Beowulf install (since Mac wouldn't let me easily eject already burned Beowulf installer)

but now there seem new problems;

Beowulf is in legacy BIOS mode (Mac 2010 model and think has not yet proper UEFI mode)

kernel is 4.19.-27

Linux devuan 4.19.0-27-amd64

however there are no correspondent linux-headers available in the repo

archive.devuan.org for beowulf

linux-headers-4.19.0-20-all          linux-headers-4.19.0-21-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-all-amd64    linux-headers-4.19.0-21-cloud-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-amd64        linux-headers-4.19.0-21-common
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-cloud-amd64  linux-headers-4.19.0-21-common-rt
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-common       linux-headers-4.19.0-21-rt-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-common-rt    linux-headers-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-20-rt-amd64     linux-headers-cloud-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-21-all          linux-headers-rt-amd64
linux-headers-4.19.0-21-all-amd64

such that the install of nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver is probably botched since i am getting error during boot

could not insert nvidia ...not permitted

probably this can be bettered by using a kernel from backports?
is it possible to use devuan backports on the archives for Beowulf?

But even if have it up and running, would still probably need to upgrade to Devuan 4.0 atleast, since for connecting to university i need newer Cisco package for the VPN sometimes (although they seem now accepting also openconnect as alternative).

EDIT: upgrading to Chimaera Devuan.4.0 yielded the following:

ceres, would that mean "excalibur", could it be then installed on that one?

kapqa · Installation

Hello ,

is this Nvidia-legacy 340 still available for Devuan 4.0 or will i have to install Devuan Beowulf to get it running.

Just installed Devuan 4.0 on an older Mac but it seem not finding anything related to Nvidia-legacy-340.

Thanks.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

thanks rolfie,

just that this laptop does not sport a parallel port, if am not mistaken.

maybe it is an error related to the printer (epson eco with ethernet, usb, wireless) instead.

will check some more.

kapqa · Other Issues

thanks, this software gave me all sorts of errors from the get-go.

took literally down my whole network at times (on a ADSL connection)
such that i had to reboot the router.

it may be useful to some, but i tend to avoid;

dont know what systemd does,
but experienced the passage from debian 7 to 8 and had such many problems and issues, that i tend to dislike it very much and ascribe the issues had to the software systemd, practically ruining a nearperfect linux experience (at the time).

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

hello ,

getting this error sometime popping up in terminal

Message from syslogd@devuan at Aug 23 23:01:41 ...
kernel:[ 94.148355] Disabling IRQ #7

maybe someone of you can tell me if i need to be concerned about it.

happened quite some time lately;
only hardware thing i did was changing the keyboard, but it seems function well so far.

thanks.

to install yt-dlp manually:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin

curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp

chmod a+rx ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp  # Make executable

export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}"

In order for the command line shell to be able to find these executables, the user's PATH environment variable needs to be extended. This can be done by adding export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}" to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc.

now you can update yt-dlp with command

yt-dlp -U

it is recommended to uninstall yt-dlp from repositories since it is not up to date.

don't know what a DXD file is; thought of buying a newer one (also Creative;) because those support DSD mostly, but since those SACD/DSD can be quite costly (around 30&40 Euro per release from what i have seen) think this unit could still serve well for the moment; also, i have a Bluray-Player that can playback DSD upto 5644 kHz/8 canali or something.
what do you mean with "it can be used to detect unwanted resampling"? why should i care about that?

kapqa · Off-topic

if it should arrive it could have specs like those; DAC-Train is that i got unlucky with a Creative PCIe Soundcard was hoping to use (but that card (AE-5 series) issues on warm-boot into Windows 11, making really strange noises; functioned however fine in Linux)

there is a newer edition of this DAC, but it has Bluetooth, and cannot be disabled entirely;

yes, mac settings were probably left unchanged, but the smaller unit does not do upsampling;
