freaxeh_sound isn't working on devuan daedalus 5.0.1 and asrock x370 motherboard with rx 580 graphics card and amd 5800x cpu03:40
gnarfacefreaxeh_: are you in the audio group? what output do you get (text and audio) from the command "speaker-test -c2"03:42
gnarfaceor, 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-offtopic03:43
XenguyAnother success story, rawrrrrrrrrrr03:44
freaxeh_now to install steam03:45
freaxeh_should i follow the debian wiki?03:46
freaxeh_https://wiki.debian.org/Steam03:47
XenguySounds reasonable, only systemd can stand in the way03:48
freaxeh_true03:48
onefangWait, isn't actual support off topic for #devuan-offtopic?  B-)03:50
freaxeh_yes thats why I moved it here03:51
gnarfacefreaxeh_: 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 options03:55
gnarfacesame for "STEAM_RUNTIME"03:56
gnarfacejust doesn't always work03:56
gnarfacemight be a per-game thing03:56
gnarfacebroadly, it looks mostly right though03:57
freaxeh_roger04:01
freaxeh_that was too easy04:10
freaxeh_was expecting a failure or error or something04:10
gnarfacenah it's been improved a lot04:10
gnarfacei 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 to04:11
freaxeh_lol wtf my steam installation just streamed fallout 4 from my laptop to my gaming pc running linux04:12
freaxeh_its literally just a stream of my screen i can see hexchat on my gaming desktop rn04:12
gnarfaceyou 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 varies04:12
gnarfaceyea, remote play fucking rules04:13
gnarfacelol i use it to watch movies04:17
gnarfaceturn on the performance overlay to make sure you're getting hardware decoding/encoding working at both ends04:24
gnarface(essential for games where reaction time is a factor)04:25
freaxeh2ty gnarface05:11
gnarfacenp05:34
freemFWIW 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
amarsh04still in the throes of a slow upgrade from i386 to amd64 architecture based roughly on https://anarc.at/services/upgrades/cross-architecture/11:49
hezemgood morning12:06
gnarfacewell if hezem comes back someone tell them to stick around longer...12:33
