fsmithredI think it has issues with policykit or related stuff00:00
ximonI accidentally removed and purged a running sddm00:00
ximonnot good?00:00
fsmithredonce you leave that session you won't be able to start sddm again00:01
ximonI just wanted to test lightdm00:01
ximon:)00:01
fsmithredif you install kde from the installer, you'll get lightdm00:02
fsmithredthe deps are listed as:  lightdm | slim | sddm00:03
ximonhow to install steam in devuan?00:09
ximonI tried steam-installer00:09
fsmithredI don't know the answer to that. My game is freecell.00:11
tempforevermy game is mod3 (in kpat)03:05
devuanconsumeris devuan 5 now using pipewire instead of pulse audio? Has anyone test to see if the latency issues are gone?03:40
devuanconsumerAlso what user interface is being used for pipewire now?03:41
rustyaxeunsure if its the default, but as a matter of policy i replace poopaudio with pipwire immediately on installing, qpwgraph works well for plumbing it, if you dont mind some QT in your life03:49
devuanconsumerhow do you set your sampling rate to 48khz and buffer size to 256?03:53
devuanconsumerhow do you install pipewire on devuan 4? what do i install and uninstall?03:54
devuanconsumeris there anything similar to the pulse audio volume control interface for pipewire? I'd like to see the input and output devices, recording, configuration and playback with the ability to get fallbacks and control volume03:56
devuanconsumerplease explain how to install pipewire for devuan04:41
debdog...04:44
debdoghttps://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#Debian_1204:44
debdoghttps://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#Debian_1204:46
debdogand https://itslinuxfoss.com/install-pipewire-debian-12/ has some hints04:46
debdogdevuanconsumer: ^04:46
debdogI think wireplumber is key04:46
devuanconsumeryeah i saw those but every time i follow some guide for debian i always get stuck for hours with the lame systemctl instructions04:47
debdoghttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=586704:48
devuanconsumeryou are the man04:50
* debdog pets ddg ;)04:51
devuanconsumerhow can i add the lines to .xsessionrc?04:56
devuanconsumerim using cinnamon with my desktop04:58
debdogread further down. there are better solutions listed04:58
debdoglike https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48400#p4840004:59
debdogbut I am not certain these are still required05:00
devuanconsumerrustyaxe: can you help me install pipewire? I installed all packages and it's not working, also pavucontrol says its "establishing connection please wait". Debodog sent me these instructiosn but i'm not sure how to added those commands to xsessionrc06:02
devuanconsumerhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=586706:02
devuanconsumerfsmithred: please help me install pipewire. I already followed those directions and no sound06:11
debdogdevuanconsumer: give me a day, I'll look into it. but I think you're overthinking it.07:22
debdogcan you give me three or more progs you intend to use regarding sound07:24
Guest51how to get telegram on devuan?08:58
Guest51good morning08:58
Guest51I am ximon btw08:58
debdogGuest51: just a guess. package telegram-desktop09:00
debdoghttps://desktop.telegram.org/09:00
Guest51seems to not be in devuan repository09:01
Guest51simon@simon:~$ sudo apt search telegram-desktop09:01
Guest51simon@simon:~$09:01
Guest51oh maybe because I am on excalibur?09:02
debdogcontrib non-free enabled?09:02
Guest51deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ excalibur main contrib non-free non-free-firmware09:03
Guest51yes09:03
debdogit is missing in debian testing right now.09:04
Guest51thats the reason then :D09:04
debdogthen look at the link09:04
debdogdownload it there09:05
Guest51dpkg --add-architecture i38609:05
Guest51&& apt-get update && apt install steam-installer is that sufficient to make steam work?09:05
Guest51zenity:4021): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:06:35.698: Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/simon/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini09:06
Guest51gtk warnings can be ignored I guess (the app has just started)09:08
ximonis this irc connected to the telegram chat? because yesterday I thought speaking to fsmithred in telegram09:59
ximonthrough irc09:59
ximonlol09:59
gnarfaceximon: no bridge bots here as far as i know10:18
gnarfacebeware of imposters10:18
ximongnarface no devuanorg telegramchannelß10:38
ximonhow to get sound lol10:47
gnarfacewell, for starters stick around longer after asking the actual question...10:58
ximoncan I do a mix with devuan testing and devuan unstable?11:15
ximonto yeet the telegram-desktop pkg11:16
debdoguhm, why not just fetch it from https://desktop.telegram.org/ extract the archive and run the binary inside it? I bet that is much less a hassle than mixing testing with unstable. (I know, I just did that)11:19
ximonbut is it the same like testing unstable mix on debian?11:20
debdogdunno. I just run the Telegram binary.11:21
ximonlike this /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20-tum.conf                                                           APT::Default-Release "/^excalibur(|-security|-updates)$/";11:21
ximondebdog can you help me setting it up? :D11:25
debdogximon: what?11:28
ximontesting unstable mix?11:29
debdogno11:29
debdogI don't even dare run testing11:29
ximondebdog nevermind I found out11:30
ximonlike this /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20-tum.conf                                                           APT::Default-Release "/^excalibur(|-security|-updates)$/"; this actually works11:30
ximonnow I need to know how I can install from other source with debian excalibur11:31
ximonxd11:31
debdoglike ... -t <Release>11:32
ximonwhy dont you dare to touch excalibur?11:33
debdogif I would like rolling releases I would not have settled for debian/devuan11:33
ximondebdog what do I need to install to get sound?11:37
ximon:D11:37
debdogalsa11:37
ximonalsa-firmware-loaders/testing this one?11:38
debdogsorry, I better keep out there. no clue about testing11:39
ximonbrb11:40
debdog(which also raises the question, what kind of install did ximon run to not have audio?)11:40
ximonalsa-utils pavucontroll and pulseaudio you need11:43
* avir327 remembers that sometimes missing audio could be fixed simply by checking alsamixer (channel volume or mute switch)12:33
avir327I also had audio issues, when the dedicated sound card needed the same kernel module as hdmi audio.12:45
ximonfsmithred is devuanorg official from devuan13:29
ximonthe people in there seem like trolls13:29
ximonand they use your names13:29
ximonin telegram13:29
ximonthey are telling me to use ceres instead of excalibur not sure if that is really your channel13:31
ximonlol13:31
fsmithredximon, hi13:33
fsmithredyou can use both. Install excalibur and then add ceres repo, but pin it to lower priority.13:33
ximonnot so suspicious anylonger you responded when I asked you to respond :D13:33
ximonso the telegram is not a troll telegram channel?13:34
fsmithredthen if you need something from ceres, you can install it with 'apt -t ceres install <package>'13:34
fsmithredoh, I'm pretty sure there are some trolls there13:34
fsmithredmaybe two or three different names who are the same individual13:34
fsmithredbut there really is irc bridge to the telegram channel and there are a few devuan devs on it13:35
fsmithreddoes it say devuanorg when I say something in the telegram channel?13:36
fsmithredhere, the irc channel is called #devuan-bridge13:36
fsmithredand I understand it will stop working soon. I don't know the details.13:37
ximonany idea how to get discover work? :D14:04
ximonwait there was another tool to install and uninstall stuff?14:04
buZzthere are many frontends for apt, 'aptitude' is one14:08
ximonif I want to remove the pkgs from kde-full but want to keep the dependencies and kde-standart what do I have to do ?14:41
ximonjust apt remove kde-full and apt install kde-standart that is a bit weird way14:44
avir327ximon: you can use debfoster for that (assuming that kde-full and kde-standard are both meta-packages and "full" depends on "standard")14:57
avir327just hit 'r'emove for the metapackage and debfoster will ask you again for its dependancies.14:57
avir327'p'urge would remove the meta-package with all dependencies14:58
avir327(at once)14:58
devuanconsumeri am trying to run ffp's script, do I need to replace usr with the name of my devuan account? https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867&p=215:47
devuanconsumerah never mind i don't15:49
devuanconsumerHi guys i got pipewire working. I ran ffp's script anfter installing all the necessary packages. It's found here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867&p=216:04
devuanconsumerdoes anyone know how to run a command to check for xruns from the terminal with pipewire?16:04
gnarfacei would assume aplay or arecord would still default to dumping messages about such to stderr16:22
gnarfaceyou may need to generate some system load to make sure they won't appear when you're not otherwise idle though16:22
devuanconsumerhow do I use the commands? I tried aplay -r and arecord --rate=# without success16:25
gnarfacewhat do you mean "without success?"16:29
gnarfaceas in, there were no underruns?16:29
gnarfaceaplay plays wav files16:30
gnarfacetry this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav16:30
gnarfacedoes it make a sound? does it spit errors to the console?16:30
gnarfaceyou can also test like this: speaker-test -c 2 -t wav16:34
gnarfaceor like this: speaker-test -c 2 -t sine16:37
gnarfaceor like this, if you have a mic: arecord | aplay16:37
gnarface(change the value of -c to the number of speakers you have)16:42
devuanconsumeroh it works thanks!16:48
gnarfaceno problem16:53
devuanconsumerdo you know if there is a command to test latency with buffer size and sample rate?17:11
gnarfaceaplay will take command-line options for all that. check the man page17:13
fsmithredyou want to see how changing those values affects latency?17:13
devuanconsumeryes17:17
devuanconsumeryes fssmithred17:17
fsmithredrun qjacktctl and change the values - it will change the value in the latency box automatically17:23
devuanconsumerok thanks17:29
devuanconsumeri decided to use RTL utility instead of install jackqtl18:57
devuanconsumermy audio is workign perfectly now with pipewire and now i know how to change the buffer size and sample rate in the conf. Thank you all!18:57
