#126 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2023-12-03 23:07:45
Hi MiyoLinux, I was just wondering if you are still doing Miyo or not (I hope you are). I have noticed there is no Miyo based on Devuan 5, the last release was May of 2022 and that your last post here on the forums was from way back in February. Are you still around, and your project active?

Eating organic (if it really is organic) is great, if you can afford it. If everybody would just cut down on stuff made with white flour and white sugar that would go a long way. And for the sake of your body, stop consuming soda pop, even so-called "diet" pop.

dont get me wrong, i would prefer if everything would work with motif and xenocara, but i understand the drama
I presume you meant "I don't understand the drama"??
My answer would be because of less end-user customization allowed. (If I'm wrong on this point, someone correct me.)

And now Chromium also requires pulse as does the MATE desktop environment.....arrrgh....not sure apulse will fix all that.
VLC still wants it, but in fact only needs libpulse0,
I did not know this. What versions of Mate and VLC require it? There was an update just today for VLC and Chromium, which I installed before seeing this. So I went back to Synaptic and did a search for "pulse" and this is what I have installed:
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
libpulse-mainloop-glib0
libpulse0
While I have apulse installed, "PulseAudio" itself is not.

I miss Flash. So many great videos. So many great games. Browsers and Adobe should re-enable it for those of us who are willing to take the risks.
There are browsers out there you can still use Flash on. Also, you would need to use the next-to-last version of Flash, as the last version is "self-destructing."

If it was bad eleven years ago then it's still bad today. Probably even worse.

Use "yt-dlp". Seems old (March) but is actually upto date & works fine.
Latest release was July 6.

If I were to run an AV on Linux, I'd just go back to Windows. It would defeat the whole purpose (one of them, at least).

As the subject line states, I can't figure out how to play DVDs. I am trying it using SMPlayer (I don't want to install another app if I can help it). The first thing I did was try every option under SMPlayer Preferences >> Drives >> Select your DVD device. None of them worked. Then I read on another forum to download libdvd-pkg, but that didn't help either. Is it impossible to play commercial DVDs on a Linux machine? I'm pretty sure I've done it before (maybe).

Do you have hplip and cups from the repositories installed?
Since you're new to the forums, let me ask, how much experience do you have with Linux?
#137 Re: Off-topic » Error in VirtualBox, hoping for help » 2023-04-03 20:50:24
First let me say "thanks" to those who offered advice and solutions. With that said, I really should have held off a while before making this post. I decided, instead of dealing with this issue, to just simply buy a cheap refurbished second computer from Amazon so I can use that "other" OS for the two apps that for me have no equivalent in Linux.

It does not get any more "layman's" than that ...
A.
Look above your post, I got it working. 
But it looks like crap.
#139 Re: Off-topic » Error in VirtualBox, hoping for help » 2023-04-03 01:50:27
Well, I got it working, had to enable Vt in the bios. But it looks like crap. I don't know if it's because my machine is old (I think it's over 10 years old) or what.

I just installed VirtualBox. I never used it before (and don't really know what I'm doing) and I'm getting an error. The error is:
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}Can anybody tell me what this means in layman's English, and does anybody know what I need to do to fix this? If it matters, I'm trying to run Windows 7 as the guest.
Thanks.

#142 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Lost sound, not sure if latest updates caused it » 2023-03-22 23:25:24
A reboot seems to have fixed the volume button problem. Thanks again for the fix.
#143 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Lost sound, not sure if latest updates caused it » 2023-03-22 23:00:49
Welcome back. A year or so ago I used this post to enable a USB headset.
It works as far as now hearing the sound, so thanks for that, but, neither the volume control on the speakers nor the main system volume button works. I have to use the app's volume control to adjust volume. Is there anything that can be done to get these volume controls to work?

Greetings everyone. So I've been out of my country for about 10 months, without use of my computer. After arriving back, I installed all the updates for the last 10 months, and also had to buy some new computer speakers. I got inexpensive logitech which connects via USB. My problem is that I'm getting no sound. The speakers are being powered, so that's not the problem. The volume of the speakers are up, so that's not the problem either. I poked around in Sound Preferences but nothing I do there fixes the problem. Under the tab Output, it says Choose a device for sound output, and I see an option that says USB Audio, I check that, but it doesn't stick neither does it fix the sound. Do I need to buy a USB to audio 3.5 adapter?
Not sure if this is pertinent, but with my last pair of speakers, which had a 3.5mm audio jack, I was getting a popping sound, so someone gave me this fix below. Can this somehow be causing this problem?
Okay...I may have found an answer for your popping sound.
1. Open your terminal, and enter the following command as root (su or sudo). I'm assuming that you use Pluma as your text editor. If not, substitute Pluma with whatever text editor you do use.
sudo pluma /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.confHere's all that is in that file on my system, and I don't get the popping noise...
options snd_hda_intel index=1,02. This is the fix that a lot of people said worked for them. Add the following line to the alsa.conf file...
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N3. If that doesn't work for some reason, create another file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and name it...
alsa-base.conf...and add that line in step 2 to that file.
I don't know if you'll need to reboot or not, but I'm guessing you may have to.
Good luck!

Thanks MiyoLinux.

I'm confused by this post. This is what my sources.list looks like. Do I need to remove any of the " #'s "? I have been getting security updates (at least for some things).

I wonder how it compares with Protonmail.
That's my biggest wonder as Protonmail is what I currently use.

Thanks for checking it out. You created a new account just to check it out? That is above and beyond the call of duty.

I think so, yes.
Great. I will mark as solved. Thanks once again HoaS for your help. Thanks also to aitor; your way did stop Synaptic from updating it.
