| freaxeh_ | sound isn't working on devuan daedalus 5.0.1 and asrock x370 motherboard with rx 580 graphics card and amd 5800x cpu | 03:40 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | freaxeh_: are you in the audio group? what output do you get (text and audio) from the command "speaker-test -c2" | 03:42 |
| gnarface | or, actually do "speaker-test -c 2 -t wav" | 03:43 |
| freaxeh_ | resolved. was logged in as root instead of a regular user. see latest comments in #devuan-offtopic | 03:43 |
| Xenguy | Another success story, rawrrrrrrrrrr | 03:44 |
| freaxeh_ | now to install steam | 03:45 |
| freaxeh_ | should i follow the debian wiki? | 03:46 |
| freaxeh_ | https://wiki.debian.org/Steam | 03:47 |
| Xenguy | Sounds reasonable, only systemd can stand in the way | 03:48 |
| freaxeh_ | true | 03:48 |
| onefang | Wait, isn't actual support off topic for #devuan-offtopic? B-) | 03:50 |
| freaxeh_ | yes thats why I moved it here | 03:51 |
| gnarface | freaxeh_: two things about that wiki link i would comment on: 1) that's probably not all the extra packages you'll need, the individual games' dependencies aren't standardized and the bundled versions don't always work and 2) the "STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES" environment variable might not always work and you might need to resort to using LD_PRELOAD from the game's launch options | 03:55 |
| gnarface | same for "STEAM_RUNTIME" | 03:56 |
| gnarface | just doesn't always work | 03:56 |
| gnarface | might be a per-game thing | 03:56 |
| gnarface | broadly, it looks mostly right though | 03:57 |
| freaxeh_ | roger | 04:01 |
| freaxeh_ | that was too easy | 04:10 |
| freaxeh_ | was expecting a failure or error or something | 04:10 |
| gnarface | nah it's been improved a lot | 04:10 |
| gnarface | i was pretty sure the steam launch script actually deletes those libraries on the fly that it mentions to delete and you don't even have to | 04:11 |
| freaxeh_ | lol wtf my steam installation just streamed fallout 4 from my laptop to my gaming pc running linux | 04:12 |
| freaxeh_ | its literally just a stream of my screen i can see hexchat on my gaming desktop rn | 04:12 |
| gnarface | you might have weird problems if you use a weird window manager but overall it should be pretty well done, from just the steam client perspective at least... the games though, not all of them are on the same level of quality, it varies | 04:12 |
| gnarface | yea, remote play fucking rules | 04:13 |
| gnarface | lol i use it to watch movies | 04:17 |
| gnarface | turn on the performance overlay to make sure you're getting hardware decoding/encoding working at both ends | 04:24 |
| gnarface | (essential for games where reaction time is a factor) | 04:25 |
| freaxeh2 | ty gnarface | 05:11 |
| gnarface | np | 05:34 |
| freem | FWIW I have no technical problems with steam on i3, which probably matches the definition of "weird window manager". Well, that is, outside of the slowness of the thing, ofc, but that is to be expected from a web browser, after all. | 11:41 |
| freem | (it probably sends stuff home before showing a window, as well, and this kind of nasty stuff) | 11:42 |
| amarsh04 | still in the throes of a slow upgrade from i386 to amd64 architecture based roughly on https://anarc.at/services/upgrades/cross-architecture/ | 11:49 |
| hezem | good morning | 12:06 |
| gnarface | well if hezem comes back someone tell them to stick around longer... | 12:33 |
