For Android I can recommend Newpipe (apk download) for Tube viewing. Sometimes *oogle blocks it but then there's a new update coming pretty soon.
#3 Re: Installation » Sound doesn't work out of the box on Devuan Excalibur with Plasma DE » 2026-04-06 06:19:29
I run Devuan on all my machines. No Systemd, ever. One machine is a multimedia/TV box with Pipewire. On is a DAW with only pure Alsa.
What happens when you buy a new car? You must personally tinker a bit with it to suit your needs, don't you? Adjust the mirrors, check the tire pressures, even RTFM on the glossy new screen in the center?

An interesting thread over at Antix forum:

It seems to be a really serious problem.
#5 Devuan » Devuan on PC replacing the smartness in smart TV » 2026-03-12 06:07:56

I've run a Linux PC on my TV's since 20 years and during this time Smart TV's have made their entrance . Since 7 years it's been only Devuan, of course. The UI on Smart TV's leave A LOT to be desired, I think. It's slow and cumbersome and eventually the TV can't be upgraded anymore.
My most recent example is a Samsung TV with relatively new software which very often lost contact with the net. You had to restart the TV all the time. And on top of that, the cumbersome UI.
A real Linux PC has many advantages; Easier configuration of the network (DNS in this case), easier to watch like Youtube without ads, if so inclined you can watch several shows, clips, videos at once. (Freedom). And play a game at the same time, and check your mail, and google stuff. And read the Devuan forum too.
With wireless keyboard and mouse, you can lay back in your couch and enjoy life.
And in this backwards world of ours, a TV without the "Smartness" would be more expensive than a TV with Smartness.
The one drawback, is that your mind might become even more fragmented.

World of Warships (Steam) and Warzone - Linux native. Plus some really old Battlefield Desert Combat and BF Vietnam in PlayOnLinux. All on Devuan of course!

Thanks for the tip about nodejs!

Yes, Deno is needed for YT-downloading. And now also exporting a YT cookie as well. More about the cookie export here:
#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan6, are there drivers for NVIDIA GeForce GT730M ? » 2026-02-19 06:44:07
Your card is "Kepler" and, as you say driver 470 is needed. It could possibly be done as said here:
#10 Re: Devuan » Proposal "Devuan User Repository" » 2026-02-07 12:47:12
I used to use Arch and AUR, but now I've been using Devuan on all my machines for some years. So I find Easydeb and DUR really great! So far in my testing it works nicely.
#11 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Using wine on devuan » 2026-01-15 08:38:56
Over at the Reaper forum they say this:
"Wine and/or yabridge is broken since Wine 9.21. I dont't know if there will ever be a fix. So, either you downgrade Wine to 9.21 if you want to use Windows plugins with yabridge, or you look for Linux native plugins as mentioned above. "
Some users do a downgrade, it seems.

In Xfce monitor settings under Advanced, there some check boxes for screens. Are they checked? Or unchecked?

#16 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire » 2025-11-16 17:44:39
Oops. Have to redo it.
#17 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire » 2025-11-16 08:29:42
Over at the Reaper forum the alsa/jack/pulse/pipe question is frequent. Your setup and scripts seem to take away the hurdles.
I've been running Reaper and pure alsa for some years and I remember at least two hurdles. One was setting the default alsa output (card) the other was getting parallel sound outputs from Reaper and for example youtube.
So your solution could be the thing!

Nice video! Did you post it on the Reaper forum as well?
#19 Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Stuck at 800Mhz Dell Micro Optiplex - FYI » 2025-11-01 09:07:42
- swanson

Annoying problem stuck at 800 Mhz, should be able to get 3200Mhz. Fixed by following this Dell support https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-u … ghz-800mhz
and then a factory reset from within the Bios.
I tried all kinds of google rabbit holes with different drivers . acpi instead if intel_pstate - and cpupower/cpufreq settings and other voodo. Only hardware reset fixed it.
Seems to be a Dell Optiplex and some Dell laptops problem.
Have a nice weekend Devuan mates!
#20 Re: Installation » Also UEFI install problems » 2025-10-17 06:06:12
I had that Daedalus install problem as well on several different machines. Never could figure it out. But I installed Chimaera instead and immediately changed the sources and upgraded to Daedalus. Working nicely since, on all of them, though not an ideal way of installing .
#21 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-10-04 18:52:28
Can be a hazzle sometimes. But I have a DAW running pure alsa with no problems at all. Even multiple sound sources simultaneously.
#22 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-10-04 14:20:59
I just had this default problem with PA. No matter what google solutions I applied, nothing worked for setting a default out. Not even pure alsa. Pipewire solved it immediately on my Xfce Daedalus install. Followed this thread: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867
#23 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2025-08-07 07:00:18
It reminds me of a bass player I used to play with. I suggested that we could compose our own tunes. He said: "All the songs are already composed". The end.
#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-08-05 04:59:13
This is pretty much what I used for setting default sound:

PA is a nuisance and on my other machine (a DAW) I do Alsa only.
