| devuanconsumer | I don't think I can update my nvidia driver | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| devuanconsumer | :/ | 00:10 |
| devuanconsumer | When I run the command it says apt install nvidia-driver --no-install-recommends && apt install nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit --no-install-recommends | 00:10 |
| devuanconsumer | E: Package 'nvidia-driver' has no installation candidate | 00:10 |
| devuanconsumer | its because of the new repository lol | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | you need to add contrib and non-free to the three devuan lines in sources.list | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | then update again | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | shit, you already have them | 00:15 |
| devuanconsumer | no I just added them | 00:15 |
| devuanconsumer | lol | 00:15 |
| devuanconsumer | thank you! | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | ok, make sure you have the right package names | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | apt-cache search nvidia | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | should give you way more than you want | 00:16 |
| devuanconsumer | i notice when i update nvidia drivers without purging the grpahics card performs worse | 00:16 |
| devuanconsumer | so when there's an update i need to purge | 00:16 |
| devuanconsumer | and reinstall | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | I gave up on nvidia drivers a few years ago | 00:16 |
| devuanconsumer | what are you using? | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | nouveau | 00:16 |
| devuanconsumer | for your nvidia? | 00:17 |
| fsmithred | yeah | 00:17 |
| fsmithred | g210 I think. Old and fanless. | 00:17 |
| devuanconsumer | well it works :) | 00:17 |
| fsmithred | works great for my gaming: freecell | 00:17 |
| devuanconsumer | nice. | 00:18 |
| devuanconsumer | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) | 00:18 |
| devuanconsumer | E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root? | 00:18 |
| devuanconsumer | what does this mean? | 00:18 |
| devuanconsumer | it was nearing the end of the installation and it said this | 00:18 |
| fsmithred | either you need to be root or you need to stop using apt in two places at once | 00:18 |
| devuanconsumer | do i have to rerun the installation? | 00:19 |
| fsmithred | did it work? | 00:19 |
| fsmithred | trying to run a second apt won't disturb the first one | 00:20 |
| fsmithred | first one already has a lock on it | 00:20 |
| devuanconsumer | how do you run a second apt? | 00:21 |
| fsmithred | open a root terminal, apt install foo | 00:21 |
| fsmithred | open a second root terminal, apt install bar | 00:21 |
| fsmithred | it won't let you do it if the first one isn't finished | 00:21 |
| fsmithred | some programmer knew you would try that and is keeping you from shooting yourself in the foot. | 00:21 |
| furrymcg1e | is there a package that build depends on debian-cd? | 17:59 |
| furrymcgee | http://www.landley.net/notes-2022.html#30-09-2022 | 18:06 |
| furrymcgee | reproducible builds? | 18:08 |
| Xenguy | I have been using 'audacious' audio player to listen to music (typically mp3, ogg, and flac files)... | 18:14 |
| Xenguy | Just wondering if anyone has an audio player they really like, and would recommend? | 18:15 |
| Xenguy | Wondering if there are any other audio players that might do a good or better job | 18:15 |
| thegoat | Xenguy, I like Strawberry music player; it's the fork of the unmaintained clementine, which was also awesome | 18:17 |
| thegoat | bit more beefy tho, but not by much, I imagine | 18:18 |
| D-HUND | Xenguy: mocp (music on console player) | 18:21 |
| Xenguy | thegoat, I believe I saw clementine in the repo, but doesn't look like strawberry is there yet (I'm running beowulf still though) | 18:22 |
| Xenguy | D-HUND, Yeah, there are a bunch of ncurses players it seems | 18:22 |
| gnarface | Xenguy: Audacious is the best. menu->settings->appearance->interface->winamp classic interface | 19:29 |
| Xenguy | gnarface, Is it the fact that it is less bloated, a leaner audio player, or ...? | 19:36 |
| gnarface | it's the fact it has a winamp classic interface :) | 19:37 |
| gnarface | i mean it's not like all these audio players aren't using the same damned libraries on the backend | 19:37 |
| gnarface | you're not gonna get an audible difference in quality | 19:37 |
| Xenguy | Cool, will have a look at that, thanks | 19:38 |
| gnarface | oh, well i don't think so anyway. if you find a notable exception otherwise please let me know. | 19:38 |
| gnarface | the audacious interface does seem fairly light though by today's standards | 19:38 |
| gnarface | i dunno how you'd really get lighter without going to a cli player like mpg123 | 19:39 |
| Xenguy | It seems light, compared to heavyweights like rhythmbox or clementine, for example | 19:39 |
| gnarface | xine is pretty :) | 19:40 |
| gnarface | vlc is ugly but does everything... when it's not choking on it's own configs then crashing | 19:40 |
| gnarface | but audacious has playlist files support and such | 19:42 |
| Xenguy | hrm, I take that back in the case of rhythmbox, the installed size is actually smaller than audacious | 19:42 |
| gnarface | the real think i like about audacious is just that it meets minimum standard of ui functionality winamp had in the 90's | 19:43 |
| gnarface | i don't like change | 19:43 |
| gnarface | i'm sure you could do better from a hardware resource usage perspective setting up a bash script to call mpg123, ogg123, or flac as appropriate | 19:44 |
| gnarface | just parse pls files with sed or something like that | 19:45 |
| gnarface | pls/m3u whatever | 19:45 |
| gnarface | it would be a clever exercise but then you wouldn't get to pretend it's still the 90's and nothing is wrong | 19:45 |
| Xenguy | hah | 19:50 |
| furrymcgee | mpv on console/framebuffer | 20:21 |
| gnarface | mpv might not actually accomplish the "lighter" part though, isn't it a fork of mplayer? | 20:40 |
| gnarface | mplayer drags hard on my raspberry pi | 20:41 |
| gnarface | i use it here sometimes too but i purposefully excluded it from the suggestion list for not qualifying as a resource saver | 20:42 |
| gnarface | i still use it here because there's a few things it still does that nothing else does, but it's also really heavy for a console utility | 20:43 |
| furrymcgee | feature heavy | 20:57 |
| * Xenguy uses mpv for video every day... | 21:41 | |
| brocashelm | you can also use mpv for browsing image galleries (works well with something like ranger) | 21:59 |
| _ds_ | I have just three words… David Tennant? What? | 22:04 |
| _ds_ | (ugh, just noticed, wrong channel) | 22:21 |
