#78 Re: Freedom Hacks » ALSA without PulseAudio and PipeWire » 2025-11-05 13:31:44

can attest this method proven and effective for using alsa on several distro
"exclulsely"

1. purge pulseaduio + pipewire as per instruction
2. install apulse
3. install arateconf as per instruction, enable fftrate
4. >> configure arateconf,
eventuallzy reboot.

now the setup is not complete by any means (firefox can be compiled as suggested) and lacks some feature (like fallback mechanism if preferred audio card in arateconf is not turned on or available) but this can be amended by more advanced user or use of additional configuration or programs i suppose.

#79 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Concurrent filecopy over USB / onto NAS » 2025-11-05 10:55:38

filecopy might well be regarded sort of achilles-heel of "modern"linux distro, ever so unreliable, for hte average user=?

anoter issue encountered:

the computer is fairly recent (1year old) > all nvme.
the NAS is fairly recent (2 year old) > HDD + 2 nvme for caching.

NAS is over 90/% full;

Devuan 6.0 (based on Trxie)
however, copy 500.000 file from Linux to NAS using SMB and file-copy via standard FileManager and the speed crawls to 1mb/s as opposed to around 100Mb/s (1GbE)(which i have) or 250 Mb/s (2.5GbE)(which NAS allows over 1 Eternet port);
still investigating; but wondered worth mentioning.

#80 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Concurrent filecopy over USB / onto NAS » 2025-11-05 07:39:44

well, thanks, have since learned that this seem to be some sort of "failsafe"mechanism that i just haven't understood or "seen" yet.

actually, there is a way to "quicken up" the queue, one needs to click on the file-copy-window to "resume" the process, and the process gets worked through "concurrently".

who would have thought that;
and since the thing is greyish, must have not seen the arrows flying/standing by.

but have "apt-to-date" OS, and have now checked, with 4 GUI;

only KDE seem to copy without need of further need of user-interaction, whereas XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, wait for another "click".

since rely on standard tools,
would say only KDE Dolphin has succeeded, but this may be open to debate.

Hello , i hae tried this, and it would function?

however, for some reason, when installing your freedom-hacks, it always seem to uninstall package "wine" which i let go;

but when afterwards try to re-install "wine", there is again bit mismatch.

like here, in order to install wine-hq-stable

REMOVING

libjack-dev libjack0

is it safe to let remove those packages?

thanks!

EDIT: and Discover app would already propose update libpulse2-plugins.

https://ibb.co/60gdYKKg

EDIT2: this libasound2-plugins route probably not so much needed with your firefox-nightly-tutorial.

thanks rolfie,

found the solution here

(change to slim)

reboot

(have crossed cinnamon already out; too much like gnome; havenÄ't noticed earlier)

Hello ,

XFCE
MATE
Cinnamon
KDE

afterwards it asked if

Slim

and selected SDDM.

Now however upon login, get no change to select other Desktop of choice *when press F1*

Hello ,

would like to report anomaly,

since have problem with OS here upgraded to Devuan 6.0

now there are some issues during boot like

"i/o error on dev sr0, set 4, logical block phys seq 1 pvio class" or what not

that have not been able to fix so iam about to re-install Operating System;;

however, the file copy mechanism seem broken:

i am doing a backup of files; now backing up files to external HD (around 500.000 files in one folder).

at the same time, like to copy other folders onto NAS.

however, it keeps the other filecopy in queue, although the computer should be able to handle concurrent filecopy easily??

the filecopy to NAS would be over smb://

thanks.

you could try Vmware Workstation 25h2 if it makes any difference?

had however no luck with Kubuntu 25.10; it would install but then after login, just black screen.

Hello ,

found that the printing did no longer function over USB cable after updating to Devuan 6.0 Excalibur.

If someone incurs the same problem, the package missing it

"libcupsimage2-dev"

after installing , the Ecotank Printer would again print over USB locally.

Maybe it got uninstalled in the Upgrade process or at some other point;

Thanks.

i am using Excalibur KDE X11 on my laptop; let me know if it can be of help; it seems to function fine, no major drawback after upgrade noticed so far.

(don't know what non-root X11 session should mean, but login function just fine).

no, no pulse, but thanks for reminding, the pipewire has krept back in; was wondering if the sound suddenly became "tinnier" again;

now it is removed; however, the .aif issue seems a limitation of the program itself or how it handles file/folder structures?

now, no pulseaudio, no pipewire. but folder containing files with .aif structure when added give "no files found".

just followed your routine anyway, since this is quite complciated procedure, above my linux-skills.

both for devuan 6.0;

just added daedalus 5 to the sources.list, now it functions (it installed 3 packages).

Have however the same issue as with the pre-compiled version:

when i try to add "open folder" from a NFS share that is on the NAS, it would not find the ".aif" files?

maybe this is a limitation of the NFS share, since am just learning how to do it?

#100 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Cannot upgrade chimaera to daedalus - wacom-dependency failure » 2025-11-03 08:47:16

if am not mistaken , have done the same just some days ago, it went about just fine.

probably it is metapackages that are being uninstalled; in case you really got the desktop uninstalled , you shoulb be able re-install via "sudo tasksel" your desktop
