Haven't used it, but KDE has kmix which is it's onboard mixer, perhaps the OP can try that? I would say try AlsaTune but it's not going to work with KDE due to that onboard mixer.

Well Mercury, perhaps the dev like most these days is simply overworked and needs some extra hands, you sound like you have a good working knowledge of runit (one that obviously expanded the last few due to these unfortunate errors). Perhaps you could take a little time and write up some better docs? I know, you shouldn't have to and the pay sucks, lol, but still you'd be a hero for doing it.

Anger is always more useful than despair, so be angry, but maybe channel that energy into preventing other folks from enduring what you had to go through? I'd be grateful for it, I know diddly squat about runit or I would have already tried it. Docs are definitely bigly important, I read multiples of them every day.

Uploaded the first test version, looks good, test installs all went well and no issues playing.

^^^^ For sure PcmanFM is nice, lightweight and fast, been using it for a long time. And the bug is more of an annoyance than an issue, but still deserves to be fixed. And the feature I want to add is similar to a feature in Caja I really like, which is the ability to display the size of the folder/file underneath the name in icon-view. Many months ago when I made this script I had no real working knowledge of C, so patching it was out of the question. But now i'm about ready to try. Any chance I can get you in on testing a patched version when it happens?

That is very gratifying, it's exactly what I intended for Vuu-do from the get-go, to be a great base people could build their own perfect system from, and same way now with the apps. It's the MIYO way (pretty much the opposite of the Gnome way, lol), take it, break it, have fun with it and make it your own.

Okay, been better than 6 months and no action on bug report(s) to upstream, time to put on my battle-rattle on, sketching out a plan to patch PcmanFM, it's really a great basic file-manager, just the one bug and one feature I want to add. Now i'll see if i've leveled up enough to do this.

Agreed.

Added some seek functions and created a wrapper script for startup that checks for running instance of vsvp as two at the same time don't play nice, and also moved the DB check in there from the main script. Perfectly useable now, but i'm working on a couple of possible additions. But i'm happy as it is. This was a lot of work, the inherent limitations of ffplay for a backend as compared to something like mpv, made it a real challenge, I had to cobble together features in some odd ways, especially since I was going for minimalism of code. Still under 45k for the whole thing.

Sounds like you should use Windows if it's so out-of-the-box-good, good luck with that!

Just posting to second this motion, testdisk/photorec go on every install/iso I do for a long time now, good stuff to have!

Why do you have 4 login managers? What exactly are you running?

Holy cow, spent all day today and part of yesterday just trying to squash one bug, whatever real devs get paid (if they get paid) is not near enough, this stuff is HARD.

But I did it, squashed the only couple of bugs left, this thing is stable and works great! Just need to work on a couple more features and it will be done.
