apt is said to be designed as a more interactive and user-friendly frontend to certain utilities such as apt-get, apt-cache, etc.

$ apt-file list apt | grep usr/bin
apt: /usr/bin/apt
apt: /usr/bin/apt-cache
apt: /usr/bin/apt-cdrom
apt: /usr/bin/apt-config
apt: /usr/bin/apt-get
apt: /usr/bin/apt-key
apt: /usr/bin/apt-mark 

apt is optimized for interactive use, with user-friendly output and features.
   In contrast, apt-get has a well-defined, stable interface, making it more suitable for scripting and automated tasks.

   apt is essentially a wrapper for the most common functionalities found in the underlying APT system.

Plants are eaten by Buddhist monks, because they think that plants do not think. They tend to believe that consuming plants is less harmful than eating animals, as plants are not considered sentient beings capable of suffering in the same way animals are. However, those monks, who practice not-thinking, have to perform special rituals before eating not-thinking plants.

#157 Re: Installation » Cant do upgrade Dadedalus to Ceres » 2025-09-10 20:17:38

apt-get is not going to be deprecated.

apt-get is much better, because it has a sort of AI inside. It helps to solve problems which may seem unsolvable. In particular, it

intelligently handles changing dependencies
$ man apt-get | grep "dist-upgrade i" -B1 -A5
       dist-upgrade
           dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing
           dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will
           attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The
           dist-upgrade command may therefore remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of
           locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for
           overriding the general settings for individual packages.
$ man apt | grep "full-upgrade (" -A2
       full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
           full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is
           needed to upgrade the system as a whole.

Debian documentation is not suggested for dogmatic reading. It is not a sort of Trotskyist or pseudo-Buddhist scriptures, it should not be treated as an infallible or dogmatic text, it should not be approached with a rigid or inflexible mindset. Instead, it encourages users to engage with the material in a more open and practical manner. Debian documentation is extensive and covers a wide range of topics, from installation to advanced configuration. Approaching it dogmatically might lead to misunderstandings or an inability to adapt to specific situations. It is a sort of esoteric text in the sense that it implies reading between the lines to comprehend its underlying, potentially hidden, message or intent, rather than a literal interpretation.

Esoteric writing is a mode of communication where a text's full meaning is not immediately apparent but requires a deep understanding or specialized knowledge to uncover hidden or implicit messages. It often involves layers of meaning that can only be grasped by those with specific knowledge or insight into the subject matter. Esoteric writing suggests esoteric reading, that is, reading between the lines.

The essence of esoteric writing lies in its ability to convey meanings that are not readily accessible to the general reader, requiring a certain level of expertise or insight to fully appreciate.

𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖈𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕰𝖘𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖈 𝖂𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌

    Layered Meanings: Texts often contain multiple interpretations, where the surface meaning may differ significantly from the deeper implications.
    Specialized Knowledge: Understanding the text may necessitate familiarity with specific terminology, historical context, or cultural references.
    Symbolism and Metaphor: Esoteric writing frequently employs symbols and metaphors that require interpretation beyond their literal sense.
    Intended Audience: Such writing is often directed toward a select audience, who are expected to possess the requisite knowledge to decode the messages.

𝕰𝖝𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖑𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕰𝖘𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖈 𝖂𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌

    Philosophical Texts: Works by philosophers like Plato or Ibn Rushd (Averroes) often contain esoteric elements that require careful analysis.
    Religious Scriptures: Many religious texts, such as the Kabbalah in Judaism or certain interpretations of the Bible, are considered esoteric due to their complex symbolism.
    Literary Works: Authors like Lewis Carroll or James Joyce are known for their allusive writing that invites deeper exploration.
    Technical Documentation: Debian wiki and man pages have multiple layers of meaning that can only be grasped by the initiated.

Esoteric writing encourages readers to engage actively with the text, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of the subject matter. It can be both challenging and rewarding, as it opens up avenues for exploration and interpretation that may not be immediately obvious.

"snd" means "sound"
snd_hda_intel is a "generic" ALSA driver for Intel HDA codecs

AMD is not producing audio codecs and sound cards (as far as I know).

AMD primarily focuses on producing central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), not standalone audio hardware. Instead, most PCs with AMD processors rely on integrated audio solutions, often Realtek chipsets, on the motherboard, or digital audio output via HDMI from the AMD GPU for sound. The "AMD High Definition Audio Device" mentioned in technical support contexts refers to the audio functionality that comes with the graphics card, not a separate sound card or codec produced by AMD.

A generic driver is a basic driver that provides essential functionality for common hardware without needing a specific driver from the manufacturer. It acts as a placeholder, enabling the computer's operating system to communicate with hardware using standard protocols and features, though it may lack the full capabilities of manufacturer-specific drivers.

$ lsmod | grep oss
oss_hdaudio           155648  4
osscore               618496  3 oss_hdaudio

oss_hdaudio is a generic Open Sound System v.4 (OSS4) driver for Intel HDA codecs.
It provides more functionality and better sound quality than ALSA's snd_hda_intel

_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Minister
Yes Minister is a British political satire sitcom written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn. Comprising three seven-episode series, it was first transmitted on BBC2 from 1980 to 1984. A sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, ran for 16 episodes from 1986 to 1988.

One can find them in YouTube.

In Linux, /proc/asound/cards is a virtual file that lists the audio sound cards detected by the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) kernel system. It's not a real file but a kernel interface that generates its contents on-the-fly from ALSA's internal list of sound cards. You can read this file to see the registered audio devices, along with their index numbers, driver names, and identifying strings.

cat /proc/asound/cards

and compare with

arateconf

To configure ALSA, you need:
1. arateconf
2. alsamixer (to unmute and/or set volume level)

It is a very simple task, because arateconf is interactive and self-explanatory.

Pressing the F6 key within the alsamixer brings up a list of available sound cards, allowing you to select a different one to adjust its settings, which you can navigate using the arrow keys.

Unmute with alsamixer
_https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmute_with_alsamixer

AMD graphics cards provide audio functionality primarily for outputting sound over digital display connections like
1. HDMI via the AMD High Definition Audio Device driver,
2. DisplayPort via the AMD High Definition Audio Device driver.

Does your video card have a DisplayPort output?

Your arateconf output:

    Curr. | Used | Play (def) | Rec (def) | Available cards
----------|------|------------|-----------|-----------------------------------
0 - >>>>> |  *   |  *     *   |  *    *   | HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
1 -       |  *   |  *         |  *        | HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
2 -       |  *   |  *         |  *        | HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic

It may mean:

0 - HDMI audio of the CPU's built-in graphics chip (iGPU) 
1 - AMD HD Audio through DisplayPort (or HDMI port) of AMD video card
2 - Intel HD Audio chip integrated to motherboard

That is why, perhaps, you reported: "i need to set (2) as (default playback) because if i set (1) then there is no sound".
You may need to unmute "sound card 1" with alsamixer. It may work, if your display has integrated speakers or a headphone-style jack (audio output port).

One of your "HD-Audio Generic" might be the AMD High Definition Audio through DisplayPort (or HDMI) of AMD video card.

Sound card 1 (or 2) "HD-Audio Generic" in your sound settings may refer to the AMD High Definition Audio Device, which is responsible for transmitting audio over the DisplayPort or HDMI connection from your AMD video card to your display.

An AMD video card typically has one hardware-accelerated audio codec for the GPU's audio output, such as the AMD High Definition Audio Device.
The sound output from an HDMI port can originate from either the dedicated graphics card's chip or the CPU's built-in graphics chip (iGPU), and the source depends on which device is connected to the monitor. If your PC has a dedicated graphics card, the audio should come from its HDMI port, not the motherboard's HDMI port, which is tied to the iGPU.

"Sound card 0" HDMI audio "HDA ATI HDMI" might may refer the CPU's built-in graphics chip (iGPU).

The term "public censorship" implies situations where people self-censor, choosing not to express their views publicly for fear of backlash or to conform to perceived public opinion, a phenomenon sometimes called public opinion pressure.

Certain philosophers, particularly Plato in The Republic, claimed that the state's legal censorship is much better than public censorship. The state was supposed to protect the freedom of the individual from the public.

You likely do not need the Linpack benchmark for typical personal computer use or stability testing, as it's a specialized tool for measuring the performance of supercomputers on a very specific task (solving dense linear systems) and for use in the TOP500 list. You might need it if you are benchmarking a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster, contributing to the TOP500, or trying to aggressively stress-test an overclocked PC.

Do not take anything for granted, especially the answers of AI.

AI is not allowed to use on Devuan forums.

Notice, however, that genetics and cybernetics were prohibited by Stalin and Khrushchev, because they are "prostitutes of capitalism". The Russian geneticist Nikolai Vavilov was sentenced to death in 1941. His sentence was later commuted to 20 years in a labor camp, but he died in prison in 1943 from harsh conditions and starvation.

Check what is available on Linux Mint. Run:

apt-cache search amdgpu

Linux Mint is slow on very old computers. Devuan is much faster.

Devuan is inherently faster than many other distributions, because it replaces systemd with a lighter init system like sysvinit, runit, or openRC. This reduces memory usage and improves boot times. The actual speed difference is also influenced by the chosen desktop environment, specific applications, and hardware capabilities.

Linux Mint is very buggy, you may need to reboot it frequently.

Arch had a very good wiki.
Many experienced users left Arch because of systemd and pulseaudio.
Arch has been in decline since 2010.

In 2009, Arch was easy to install and easy to use. It did not have pulseaudio. Both ALSA and OSS4 were available in official repositories. Many Ubuntu users migrated to Arch in the hope to get rid of pulseaudio. It was decided, therefore, to utilize them for testing pulseaudio, Gnome3, and systemd. Perhaps nobody was happy about being utilized in such a way.

Arch was about freedom and "keep it simple" principle (KISS). But if you have enough users, why not sell them for testing systemd?

On the other hand, if one believes himself possessed of the absolute truth, he is entitled by this very truth to force it upon others if those others don't understand or accept it. The truth itself serves as a legitimate basis for asserting power or control.

A new leader in the north of the island, Neloaig (Nelawihang), proclaimed himself John Frum, King of America and of Tanna. He organized an armed force which conscripted labour for the construction of an aerodrome which the Americans had told him to build for American Liberator planes bringing goods from John Frum's father. Those who refused to work would be bombed by planes. This pressed labour was resisted by a few natives who were wounded...
The police reinforcements, with two U.S. officers, were quickly dispatched to the John Frum airstrip. There they found 200 men at work, surrounded by others with guns. After the latter were disarmed, an American officer spoke to the natives, trying to persuade them of their folly. This was backed up by a demonstration of the power of a tommy-gun turned on a John Frum poster pinned to a nearby tree. Many fled in panic; the police then burned down a John Frum hut and took forty-six prisoners.

Peter Worsley (1957), The Trumpet Shall Sound: A study of 'cargo' cults in Melanesia, London: MacGibbon & Kee, p. 158.

The absolute truth by its very nature is exclusive, it does not permit any other truths to exist. The absolute truth is inherently self-consistent: if something is absolutely true, its opposite cannot be true, and its truth is independent of perspective or opinion. The absolute truth is the only valid and ethical justification for an action or activity, particularly in context of software development.
