^ I've never needed to add any users to the audio group to get the sound working in Debian.

@OP: it doesn't look like PulseAudio is running so try starting it and see if that changes anything.

You can also try

# alsactl init

But it looks like the system doesn't recognise an analogue soundcard, which is strange.

Can we see

lspci -k | grep -iA2 Audio

Try this:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 10.5.5.31/24
	gateway 10.5.5.1
	metric 10
	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
	dns-nameservers 10.5.5.1
	dns-search lan.atHome

# WLAN @ Home
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
	address 10.5.5.32/24
	gateway 10.5.5.1
	metric 20
	dns-nameservers 10.5.5.1
	dns-search lan.atHome
	wpa-ssid 	SSID
	wpa-psk		passwd

The metric keyword assigns a priority to the interface, a lower metric value causes that interface to be favoured over the other.

You can set specific address with a DHCP client.

I've never tried having both ethernet and wireless configured via /etc/network/interfaces and my Debian system is gone now so I can't fiddle with it to test what works (sorry).

If you're using chimaera then perhaps try iwd for the wireless connection. That can both associate with the SSID and assign the IP addresses all by itself.

#1507 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Need some support for setting up wifi correctly » 2021-04-27 16:22:24

I think the RTNETLINK error is because the gateway is defined twice.

Try using DHCP for the wireless interface.

Is the AMD graphics firmware installed? The µcode package should also be installed but I'm not sure if there are any fixes for the Ryzen 4000 series yet.

#1510 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Toshiba Tecra S2 » 2021-04-27 15:28:41

Users shouldn't need to be in the audio group for the speakers to work.

@OP: can we see

aplay -l
amixer

Can we see

ip a
ip r

ping -c3 google.com
rfkill list all

EDIT: I presume wpa-sssid & wpa-psk have the actual SSID & password filled in (rather than SSID & passwd)?

#1512 Re: Other Issues » Graphical glitches on Radeon RX 6700 XT with proper firmware/Mesa... » 2021-04-25 13:45:58

The amdgpu drivers are part of the kernel, AMD contribute directly to them so they are official. They also provide the firmware, which can be downloaded and added to /lib/firmware/ manaully if need be. If you want to try a newer kernel in Devuan then perhaps look at https://liquorix.net/ — their bullseye versions should be compatible with beowulf.

But I suspect your artefact problems are due to Mesa. IIRC there was a recent thread over at the Arch forums in which an AMD user fixed the glitches by using the mesa-git AUR package, which should also be installable in Artix. The most recent Mesa packages in Debian are only available from the experimental repositories and they are the same as the Arch (non-AUR) versions. The versions in sid/ceres should catch up once Debian 11 has been released though.

Oh yes, sorry, my mistake. The 4.19 kernel documentation doesn't seem to have a section for the e1000e module, or at least not that I can find.

Here's the page for my 5.11 kernel: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.11/n … 1000e.html

You can also use the modinfo command.

Official documentation here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.19/n … e1000.html

The wpagui package works with /etc/network/interfaces if this line is used instead of the wpa-ssid & wpa-psk lines:

   wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then create the configuration file with these options listed to allow it to be altered by wpagui:

ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1

Legacies of the Sword: The Kashima-Shinryu and Samurai Martial Culture by Karl Friday

It finally arrived. A very good book — the author is both a professor of Japanese history and also a shihan (Kashima-Shinryū instructor) so it is an authoritative text on the subject. Now I just have to wait for the local chapter to re-open. Bloody COVID.

I also received my copy of A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, a seminal science fiction classic.

Connecting via /etc/network/interfaces & ifupdown does not require dbus.

/etc/network/interfaces uses wpa_supplicant rather than iwd. The iwd version in beowulf is pre-release and so probably should not be used.

#1522 Re: Other Issues » policy kit » 2021-04-22 05:48:28

For what purpose do you want to set up policy kit?

If you want to use pkexec to launch GUI applications with superuser privileges (which is a bad idea) then you can create some authorisation rules for the programs. See the files provided by synaptic & gparted for examples of this.

Is policy kit even necessary?

No.

Yes. But it might be worth resetting the hardware clock & /etc/adjtime after the system clock has been updated:

Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume to

Then

# update-initramfs -u -k all

Note that you don't appear to have a swap file at all so you should probably remove that term from the title and OP.
