buZzlatex: i like pipewire on daedalus, and just enable all the alsa jack pulse through pipewire, its magic00:01
buZzall jack clients can see all pulse clients and all alsa clients, and vice versa, so cool00:02
latexbuZz: Sounds cool... if it actually worked00:04
latexfrom my experience pipewire has been a disaster00:04
latexBut that was a year ago. Maybe things have changed00:05
buZzok, i specifically went to daedalus motivated to try it, wasnt disappointed00:05
latexI still can't get it installed on gentoo from dependencies I don't want to deal with right now00:05
buZzit was a bit hacky in 4 and less hacky in 500:05
latexAlso while my friend was on Fedora, pipewire was completely fucked and pulseaudio programs didn't show up in the JACK graph00:05
latexso essentially pipewire's usecase was completely defeated00:06
latexso I switched my friend over to jack00:06
buZzi followed mostly https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire00:06
latexjack also doesn't require elogind00:06
latexpipewire/wireplumber does00:06
latexand it pisses me off00:06
buZzbut some https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire aswell00:06
buZz¯\_(ツ)_/¯00:06
buZzi'm just happy it works :)00:07
latexJACK has its glitches but it kinda works unlike pipewire has been for me00:07
latexI wanted to try pipewire but what I saw was... "no elogind. Goodbye" (not exactly quoted but it was some error about elogind not being present)00:08
brocashelmhow good is sndiod support?00:10
dgriffiwhen is Daedalus expected to be finalized?01:23
buZzi'd expect it to finalize soon01:53
ted-iousdgriffi: The packages are already done it's just waiting on the final installer isos.01:53
buZzbrocashelm: in qemu? :) fine01:53
ted-iousBut you can use whatever the last one available is and install right now.01:53
buZzi'm a bit sad there's no pipewire launcher in daedalus01:54
buZzor, i havent found one yet :P01:54
darwinwill there ever be Devuan for ARM CPUs?  I'd prefer something better than RaspiOS (which only has systemd)02:51
rustytacoi seem to recall there's devuan running on my pi wherever it is02:56
rustytacoIt still answers pings but i cannot physically locate it as of a long time ago02:56
buZzdarwin: there are images for arm02:58
buZzdarwin: https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan , scroll down a bit02:59
buZzor eh, https://arm-files.devuan.org/03:00
darwinwhat does trial mean in this case?03:02
rwpdarwin, I am running stock Devuan on my Banana Pi ARM being used as my house WiFi Access Point device.03:41
darwingood03:42
darwindid you or anyone run this fan shim?: http://github.com/pimoroni/fanshim-python ( http://shop.pimoroni.com/products/fan-shim?variant=29210095812691 )03:42
rustytacoOperating System............................... Linux 3.8.13-rt9-4143e25704:10
rustytacoholier than the damn pope :(04:10
latexbuZz: can't find a wireplumber/pipewire service after installing it17:15
fluffywolfok, this is a new failure.  on one of my other laptops, completely stock devuan install, xfce.  xscreensaver just activated while I was using the laptop.  I can still move the pointer around, being displayed over the screensaver.  neither moving it not clicking is making the screensaver go away.17:16
juma[m]Wazaup17:17
juma[m]got debian 1217:17
juma[m]its safe to migrate to devuan17:27
fluffywolfand why does xfce no longer show any battery/power information?  grrrrrrr17:28
* fluffywolf is reminded why normally immediately installs icewm, not use xfce17:28
DashiePiefluffywolf always ICEs xfce17:37
gnarfacejuma[m]: not sure anyone actually knows for sure, but it might work.17:41
juma[m]thanks gnarface17:42
juma[m]I will wait for stable version17:42
gnarfaceall the previous versions worked, sometimes you had to iron out some package difficulties but it would be doable17:42
juma[m]when I installed devuan netinstall17:43
juma[m]it let me choose sysvint , openrc, and (the other)17:43
juma[m]but openrc is built with sysvint based ?17:43
gnarfacei think so, yea17:44
gnarfaceit's how debian chose to set it up17:44
juma[m]what init do you recomendme?17:45
gnarfaceif in doubt, use the default, sysvinit, because it's the most finished, there's the most resident knowledge about it around here, and the other ones use the same scripts anyway17:46
gnarfacebut if you want to run the normal openrc setup instead it's not hard to do. someone around here knows how to do that, i'm sure...17:46
gnarfaceif you really like openrc you could just try it as they've set it up... they had good reasons, you might find you like it17:47
gnarfacei just know that the work to actually integrate more daemons has been done with sysvinit (probably a large reason why they chose to use those scripts)17:48
gnarfacebut writing openrc startup scripts is supposed to be enough easier to obviate the whole issue, so if you're comfortable enough with it maybe it doesn't matter which you choose17:49
gnarfaceif you know how to write startup scripts in all of them, they'll all work, they're all completely functional17:51
juma[m]So to start, gnarface should i got to sysvint?17:52
gnarfaceyea17:52
gnarfacedon't worry, it's not gonna be slow17:52
juma[m]learning how sysvinti works should give me knowladge to other init systems (not systemd)17:53
gnarfaceyes17:53
juma[m]Thanks :)17:54
gnarfacenp17:54
latexbuZz: I'd like to know how you set up pipewire. I just get RTKit errors and shit18:19
