agrisHow can I prevent stuttering in my video and xruns in my audio on Devuan?02:05
agrisI have plenty of spare memory and cpu cycles02:06
agrisonly 1 of 4 cores is pegged but with a threaded job with a niceness of 1102:06
rwpWhat software are you running that is causing problems?02:06

agrisneither is my storage subsystem heavily loaded02:07
rwpI can only say that I haven't noticed problems on my system.02:07
agrisrwp, mpv's video stutters and qjackctl (running pipewire) reports xruns and occaisonal audio glitches02:07
agrisas well as general freezes in X02:07
rwpWhat is your video hardware and driver?02:08
agris01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev e7)02:08
agrisamdgpu02:08
rwpI will say good.  Because I was saying to myself, "Please don't say nVidia.  Please don't say nVidia."02:09
agrisit's not a novideo card02:09
rwpOn a similar system here I have these packages installed.  firmware-amd-graphics xserver-xorg-video-radeon02:11
rwpfirmware-amd-graphics is in the non-free section of the repository due to the firmware blob.02:12
rwpI also suggest reviewing and inspecting /var/log/Xorg.0.log for information and errors.02:13
rwpAnd the same with "dmesg" boot output.02:14
agrisok02:15
agrisoh intersting02:15

rwpCareful on pastes!  The Libera.chat global bot will kick you.  If so join again.02:16
agrisnot pasting02:16
agristhat's just a choice02:16
agrisleft most number is a line number, but there's a lot of messages in xorg's log saying your system is too slow02:16
rwpIt's a global choice made for all of us by the Libera admins.  Please use a pastebin.02:16
agrissome by a maximum of 45ms of more02:17
rwpThat format looks like Xorg.0.log?  Yes.  Those EE's are looking grim for it being an indication of a problem.02:18
rwpI would not panic until ensuring that the firmware is loaded and trying again.02:18
agrishere is my dmesg02:18
agrishttp://dpaste.com/2E3VNEYLL02:18
agrisHow can I verify if firmware is loaded?02:19
agrisalso do you need me to paste my whole Xorg log or is that good enough?02:20
rwpIt looks like your adaptor is using the polaris driver.  Look at lines 1091 and then 1104 and so on.,02:20
rwpI am rather at the limit of what I might know enough to help.  But maybe another in the channel will have better clues.02:21
agrisit looks like the binary files are being loaded ok02:21
rwpAgreed.  Looks like it is loading those files okay.02:22
rwpI had expected to see CEDAR there however.  But that probably is an example of my unfamiliarity with your particular adaptor.02:22
agriswhat is CEDAR?02:23
agrisit looks like my entire system is freezing in time02:24
agrisstuttering along02:24
rwpCEDAR is the driver used by various AMD GPU adaptors and I must have mis-thought it applied to your hardware too.  But it was loading Polaris.02:25
rwpWhich OS version are you running?  Is this Devuan 4 Stable Chimaera?02:27
rwpAnd which cpu and architecture?02:27
rwpHonestly I don't think it will help me help you but it might help others help you.02:27
agrisDescription:    Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)02:30
agrison amd6402:30
rwpHmm...  Line 1179 of your paste shows a process segfaulting at boot time?  Perhaps unrelated but still an error that should be resolved.02:30
agrisWhat is NetDB?02:31
rwpNo idea.  Never saw it before.02:31
rwpI see Realtek listed as well.  For that I would ensure that firmware-realtek is installed.02:36
rwpI often see the perf: interrupt took too long ... lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate" messages on systems that seem to otherwise work normally.02:36
rwpI was just scanning through looking for anything that stood out.  Those are the things that grabbed me.02:37
agrisrwp, it's a realtech DAC02:38
agrisi mean a faketek02:38
agrisaudio is working fine02:38
agrisdo you know what kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate does?02:38
rwpI also liked the SAS drives and SSD.  That's good.  But those were Seagates.  And I don't know if that balances down or not. :-/02:39
agrisfirmwware-realtek packages seems to be fore Realtek wired/wifi/BT adapters not sound cards, so it won't do anything i don't think02:39
rwpI do not.02:39
agrisrwp what do you mean balances down?02:39
rwpI have not had good experiences with Seagate of late in the 3TB SATA sizes.  Quite annoying actually.  But SAS drives are better quality drives.02:40
rwpI have a Seagate ST3000DM001 here that glitches periodically, must be power cycled reset, then it is okay again.  For a few days or a week or a month.  Then locks up again.02:41
agrismost of my files are on a nvme drive which is encrypted with dm-crypt02:45
agrisand all my hard drives are sas02:45
agrisso probably not applicable02:45
agrisrwp do you like a different hard drive manufacturer better?02:04
agriswhat is the debian support channel?02:23
rwpagris, https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html03:56
agrisoh gawd05:24
agristrying to watch a movie with friends and it's stuttering every few seconds05:24
agriswhen i'm typing it causes what i typed to eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend up like t his05:24
fluffywolfdon't play 4k on a duron?05:25
agriswhat's a duron?05:27
agrisand it's not 4k video05:27
fluffywolfI see you were not building PCs in the early '00s.  :)05:27
agrisi see your not banned yet05:28
fluffywolfduron was amd's budget processor line05:28
fluffywolfnot known for their incredible performance.05:28
fluffywolfbbl, wolfy bedtime05:30
agrisfluffywolf, it's not really apropriate to talk to me after how terribly and mean you treated me, especially after i stuck up for you05:38
