| 00:46.10 | Wafficus | Hi there, I'm trying to figure out why my "Scarlett Solo" audio interface isn't producing any sound despite the controls in alsamixer showing that the volume is up all the way |
| 00:46.58 | tuxd3v | Wafficus, what is a "Scarlett Solo" |
| 00:47.01 | tuxd3v | ? |
| 00:47.03 | Wafficus | I'm using Devuan Beowulf on my desktop machine with the Scarlett Solo audio interface. I've gotten audio to work just fine with this interface in the past, but I'm not sure if that's because I might have installed Pulse Audio as well before |
| 00:47.07 | fsmithred | is alsamixer looking at the right interface? |
| 00:47.21 | fsmithred | aplay -l |
| 00:47.26 | Wafficus | Scarlett Solo is an audio interface where you can plug in 1 aux input jack from an instrument for recording |
| 00:47.30 | fsmithred | will show you which one is first |
| 00:48.05 | Wafficus | it needs to be "card 2" |
| 00:48.18 | Wafficus | however Alsamixer isn't able to load "Scarlett Solo USB" for some reason |
| 00:48.19 | Wafficus | not sure why |
| 00:49.07 | tuxd3v | go to alsamixer and type F6, chose your card, like fsmithred said :) |
| 00:49.15 | Wafficus | that's the thing |
| 00:49.15 | gnarface | alsamixer -c [int] |
| 00:49.19 | Wafficus | it doesn't show anything on the F6 menu |
| 00:49.22 | Wafficus | believe me |
| 00:49.32 | gnarface | sometimes the F keys are broken, dunno why, some terminal incompatibility maybe |
| 00:49.38 | Wafficus | "This sound device does not have any controls" |
| 00:49.48 | gnarface | oh, then that's the driver's problem |
| 00:50.01 | gnarface | but hit [tab] key once to make sure |
| 00:50.09 | gnarface | (remember input and output controls are on separate panels) |
| 00:51.29 | gnarface | if you go through every device by number, passing the number to "alsamixer -c [number]" and you're sure you're seeing them all, but the one you want doesn't have input or output controls.... that's how the driver is giving it to you. either it really doesn't have any controls or the driver is bunk |
| 00:51.58 | gnarface | the alsamixer interface is dynamically generated for every individual device, you see |
| 00:52.09 | gnarface | but it just blindly reads info from the driver to do this |
| 00:52.19 | fsmithred | it might not have any controls or few controls but no volume controls |
| 00:52.23 | gnarface | so the driver has to actually provide some controls, and this is known to go wrong occasionaly |
| 00:52.30 | fsmithred | I use a similar device |
| 00:52.45 | gnarface | but yea i've seen some tv tuner cards with only input controls, so the first panel has none and at first you think they're missing |
| 00:52.57 | gnarface | but just hitting [tab] once in that case works |
| 00:53.17 | fsmithred | the one I use has a couple of switches for something I don't remember |
| 00:53.30 | fsmithred | volume controls are on the actual device - physical knobs |
| 00:53.33 | gnarface | if you have a Nvidia card it shows up as a alsa device like this too, but only with output controls (and they're just toggles, not volumes, it looks weird) |
| 00:53.39 | Wafficus | pressing tab didn't do anything unfortunately |
| 00:53.45 | gnarface | damn |
| 00:53.54 | gnarface | it at least cycled the panel you're on, right? |
| 00:54.04 | gnarface | in the top left corner alsamixer is telling you it's changing views, right? |
| 00:54.10 | Wafficus | yeah I know what you mean |
| 00:54.13 | gnarface | or is the interface actually completely frozen? |
| 00:54.14 | Wafficus | for other sections, its fine |
| 00:54.20 | Wafficus | but not for the solo device |
| 00:54.22 | gnarface | ok, just clarifying |
| 00:54.28 | Wafficus | no, its not frozen |
| 00:54.29 | gnarface | yea, that's weird |
| 00:54.31 | gnarface | which kernel was this again? |
| 00:54.33 | Wafficus | its supposed to be class compliant |
| 00:54.39 | Wafficus | meaning that it doesn't need drivers apparently |
| 00:54.45 | gnarface | oh, no that means it uses usb drivers |
| 00:54.55 | Wafficus | not sure the kernel on this |
| 00:54.59 | gnarface | it still needs drivers but that means nobody is taking responsibility for them |
| 00:55.03 | Wafficus | just use the default min install for Devuan Beowulf |
| 00:55.17 | gnarface | ok that would be 4.19 then most likely but you can verify with "uname -a" |
| 00:55.28 | fsmithred | pretty sure it should use snd-usb-audio and should just work |
| 00:55.45 | gnarface | are there any quirks module options for it on the wiki? |
| 00:55.58 | gnarface | if not, the only suggestion i have is try a different kernel version |
| 00:56.44 | fsmithred | does this device show up in the device preferences in your audio apps? |
| 00:57.36 | gnarface | shit, could pulseaudio be doing this? it would show at least ONE control though, wouldn't it? |
| 00:57.52 | fsmithred | yeah, I think it gives you one bar |
| 00:58.09 | fsmithred | not sure if you can do anything with it |
| 00:58.14 | gnarface | i'd be looking for complaints in the output of dmesg at hotplug time, and trying different (newer and older) kernel versions to look for any evidence of changes |

| 00:59.19 | Wafficus | Scarlett is the company |
| 00:59.20 | gnarface | Wafficus: yea, that's the beowulf kernel |
| 00:59.39 | gnarface | Wafficus: i'm not seeing scarlett even listed, which is weird because i distinctly remember the name... |

| 01:00.09 | gnarface | ah ha |
| 01:00.11 | fsmithred | https://focusrite.com/en/usb-audio-interface/scarlett/scarlett-solo |
| 01:00.11 | gnarface | we have one |
| 01:00.16 | Wafficus | that's the one |
| 01:00.21 | Wafficus | fsmithred: |
| 01:00.22 | gnarface | only note is "Even though the card is 24bit, the sample format on the wire is 32bit" |
| 01:00.27 | gnarface | i wonder if this could be related to the problem ^ |
| 01:00.34 | Wafficus | its a usb device though |
| 01:00.41 | Wafficus | so its not like an actual sound card internally to the desktop |
| 01:00.44 | Wafficus | not sure if that helps |
| 01:00.51 | fsmithred | set jack to a multiple of 3 somethings |
| 01:01.00 | fsmithred | give me a minute and I'll remember the word |
| 01:01.02 | gnarface | Wafficus: it doesn't help, it makes it worse in this case unfortunately |
| 01:01.51 | fsmithred | here's the line I use: |
| 01:01.57 | Wafficus | I don't think I have Jack present though |
| 01:02.02 | Wafficus | Jack kind of scares me to be honest |
| 01:02.02 | fsmithred | oh |
| 01:02.05 | fsmithred | lol |
| 01:02.06 | Wafficus | I know what jack is though |
| 01:02.09 | Wafficus | but the setup seems damn hard |
| 01:02.16 | Wafficus | later down the road, I might figure out Jack |
| 01:02.22 | Wafficus | but there's no way to make Alsa work with this though? |
| 01:02.25 | fsmithred | even with qjackctl? gui |
| 01:02.37 | fsmithred | yeah, it should work with also |
| 01:03.11 | fsmithred | I didn't see an answer to my question about choosing this device in the program settings of something like vlc or some music player |
| 01:03.29 | gnarface | Wafficus: i suggested trying a newer and older kernel, because that's what the alsa developers will tell you to try first when you ask them |
| 01:04.06 | gnarface | Wafficus: unfortunately it seems you're running into a new problem that nobody else has seen, or at least nobody else has bothered mentioning on the wiki |
| 01:04.25 | fsmithred | do we know if pulseaudio is installed? |
| 01:04.44 | gnarface | yea, we need to know that for sure |
| 01:04.53 | gnarface | though it should be there with most default installs now |
| 01:04.53 | Wafficus | I have no idea |
| 01:04.57 | Wafficus | is pulseaudio installed by default? |
| 01:05.00 | gnarface | Wafficus: dpkg -l |grep pulseaudio |
| 01:05.02 | Wafficus | for min install? |
| 01:05.13 | gnarface | Wafficus: maybe not for a minimal instal |
| 01:05.19 | gnarface | Wafficus: check with dpkg to be sure |
| 01:05.23 | fsmithred | please |
| 01:06.00 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ dpkg -l | grep pulseaudio |
| 01:06.02 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ |
| 01:06.12 | fsmithred | good |
| 01:08.12 | Wafficus | actually I think on that alsamixer page, that's not listed |
| 01:08.22 | Wafficus | I just have the single input Scarlett Solo (2nd gen) interface |
| 01:08.32 | Wafficus | the page you showed had like the 2i2 or something |
| 01:08.56 | fsmithred | oh |
| 01:09.06 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ dpkg -l | grep pulseaudio |
| 01:09.08 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ |

| 01:09.15 | Wafficus | ^ sorry for the first two lines |
| 01:09.28 | fsmithred | did you check at linux musicians? |
| 01:11.04 | gnarface | Wafficus: oh, if it's not even the device listed, then that probably means it's known not to work, but i couldn't tell you specifically why |
| 01:11.52 | gnarface | Wafficus: in that case, the best move for you is to ask in #alsa and on the alsa-devel mailing list about it |
| 01:12.45 | gnarface | Wafficus: (make sure you register for the mailing list before you send to it, or your post might get ignored/filtered) |
| 01:12.55 | Wafficus | yeah I've looked on related posts, this device just isn't mentioend anywhere unfortunately |
| 01:13.03 | fsmithred | yes it is |
| 01:13.25 | Wafficus | as with usual Debian problems, I usually look for "ubuntu" tags on internet searches since someone more than likely had the same problem on Ubuntu and documented how they fixed it |
| 01:13.31 | fsmithred | https://linuxmusicians.com/search.php?keywords=scarlet+solo |
| 01:13.34 | Wafficus | however in this case, I just can't seem to find anyone with the same problem with alsa mixer |
| 01:14.06 | Wafficus | yeah, but there's no solutions in those threads |

| 01:15.28 | tuxd3v | Wafficus, I don't know if that board is supported :( |
| 01:15.42 | tuxd3v | take a look : https://resource.focusrite.com/downloads/os?product=Scarlett+Solo |
| 01:16.02 | tuxd3v | they only know about the existence of windows and Mac |
| 01:16.04 | gnarface | Wafficus: you're gonna wanna try looking at common module options that fix other things, like disabling powersaving and stuff like that, and you're probably gonna be asked eventually to try it with the latest vanilla kernel driver version so it might be a good idea to get started on that... or at least try the beowulf-backports kernel to compare, it should be much closer |
| 01:16.23 | gnarface | Wafficus: good luck |
| 01:18.25 | Wafficus | ah I don't want to mess with the kernel |
| 01:18.33 | Wafficus | I'm not that comfortable doing that kind of thing |
| 01:18.40 | Wafficus | If I wanted to do that, I'd be installing Gentoo |
| 01:20.13 | Wafficus | there's no way I can just have it use "card 2" instead? |
| 01:20.17 | gnarface | well, mabye you'll get lucky with the backports kernel, that's safe and relatively easy |
| 01:20.36 | Wafficus | or how would I be able to use speaker-test with the "card 2" info from aplay -l? |
| 01:20.44 | gnarface | you gotta read some man pages |
| 01:20.46 | gnarface | it's -D |
| 01:20.48 | gnarface | for both of those |
| 01:21.10 | gnarface | if you have another sound card of course you can use it instead |
| 01:21.17 | gnarface | but why be plugging in this USB thing in the first place then? |
| 01:22.08 | tuxd3v | Wafficus, thernel 5.7 seems to support your card.. |
| 01:22.09 | tuxd3v | https://paste2.org/gz8nEc0X |
| 01:22.24 | tuxd3v | err, thernel -> kernel |
| 01:22.27 | tuxd3v | lol |
| 01:22.32 | gnarface | thanks tuxd3v |
| 01:22.38 | Wafficus | its because its a neat usb audio interface |
| 01:22.42 | fsmithred | Wafficus, most audio apps have a way to specify which card to use |
| 01:22.43 | Wafficus | I used to record stuff for a solo band |
| 01:22.54 | Wafficus | this worked just fine in debian min |
| 01:23.04 | Wafficus | but I think I had Pulseaudio installed at the same time cause of Firefox demanded it |
| 01:23.12 | Wafficus | so maybe it never worked in Alsa to begin with |
| 01:23.44 | fsmithred | <Wafficus> there's no way I can just have it use "card 2" instead? |
| 01:23.53 | fsmithred | I'm pretty sure there is a way to do that |
| 01:24.33 | tuxd3v | gnarface, you welcome :) |
| 01:25.40 | tuxd3v | for what it seems that is a imput device and not a output one, right? |
| 01:25.49 | tuxd3v | its aneat card :) |
| 01:25.54 | Wafficus | ah that's what's grey area |
| 01:25.57 | Wafficus | its both really |
| 01:26.00 | Wafficus | it has two inputs |
| 01:26.03 | Wafficus | one for a mic jack |
| 01:26.09 | Wafficus | and another for an aux jack aka guitar cable |
| 01:26.17 | Wafficus | it has headphone monitoring in the front |
| 01:26.26 | Wafficus | and you can do left + right stereo audio out in the back |
| 01:26.35 | Wafficus | basic $100 around USB audio interface |
| 01:26.39 | Wafficus | worked right out of the box for Windoze |
| 01:26.50 | Wafficus | so can't say it wasn't good for something I guess |
| 01:27.00 | tuxd3v | humm |
| 01:27.03 | Wafficus | I see what you pasted for that kernel thing |
| 01:27.05 | Wafficus | makes sense |
| 01:27.10 | Wafficus | kinda scary though to jump a kernel for this |
| 01:27.17 | Wafficus | I have NEVER done it though so maybe its simpler |
| 01:27.23 | tuxd3v | that board also seems to need to negociate quite of power via usb |
| 01:27.23 | Wafficus | it is kinda cool its written in C |
| 01:27.39 | Wafficus | I've been learning C a bit on the side for my own benefit to possibly make some cool ncurses terminal programs |
| 01:27.47 | Wafficus | so I understand what you posted a bit |
| 01:27.53 | Wafficus | *slightly |
| 01:28.01 | tuxd3v | usb2.0 has a limitation in it specification of 5 units of 100mA each, which means you can only negociate 500mA in total |
| 01:28.16 | tuxd3v | by other words, does you have a usb3.0 port to test? |
| 01:28.58 | tuxd3v | because USB 3.0 has a lot more bang to negotiate :) |
| 01:29.50 | Wafficus | ah I'm not sure |
| 01:29.52 | Wafficus | sounds dumb |
| 01:30.04 | tuxd3v | I have had several problems with usb 2.0 to power up or disks, or a dvd player, or something, and in the foruns, there are also users with that problem.. |
| 01:30.08 | Wafficus | but I think I might have maybe ONE USB 3.0 slot in the back of the tower |
| 01:30.12 | tuxd3v | what do you mean sounds dumb? |
| 01:30.14 | Wafficus | I never setup the ones in the front though |
| 01:30.27 | Wafficus | dumb as in I"m not sure if I have USB 3.0 slot |
| 01:30.30 | Wafficus | I'll look for a blue slot |
| 01:30.33 | tuxd3v | its why specifications are created for |
| 01:30.56 | tuxd3v | insert there and do a dmesg |
| 01:31.07 | tuxd3v | and a 'aplay -L' |
| 01:31.09 | tuxd3v | :) |
| 01:31.45 | Wafficus | I think all 4 regular usb slots are taken in the back |
| 01:31.56 | Wafficus | and the only other two remaining were "Type A" and "Type C" |
| 01:32.04 | Wafficus | i'm assuming they're probably USB 3.0 |
| 01:32.13 | Wafficus | its a gaming motherboard, MSI I think |
| 01:32.16 | Wafficus | can't remember |

| 01:45.22 | fsmithred | I usually just click on Preferences and then Audio Device and select the right card. Then play a music file. |
| 01:45.34 | Wafficus | yes that works |
| 01:45.39 | Wafficus | what rrq mentioned |
| 01:45.59 | tuxd3v | so you hear sound via that device output? |
| 01:46.01 | Wafficus | yes\ |
| 01:46.08 | Wafficus | now its a matter of changing .asoundrc probably |
| 01:47.22 | tuxd3v | change your default card in '/etc/asound.conf' |
| 01:47.29 | tuxd3v | chage to index 2 |
| 01:48.07 | tuxd3v | this example is very very basic, but its a start |
| 01:48.07 | tuxd3v | https://alsa-project.org/wiki/Setting_the_default_device |
| 01:50.32 | *** join/#devuan TwistedF1 (~TwistedFa@unaffiliated/twistedfate) |
| 01:51.35 | rrq | in .asoundrc: defaults.ctl.card 2 ; defaults.pcm.card 2 ; defaults.timer.card 2 ; |
| 01:51.52 | Wafficus | cool thanks |
| 01:55.19 | Wafficus | why the "defaults.timer.card 2 ;" section though? |
| 01:55.26 | Wafficus | I ask because its not on that link |
| 01:55.40 | Wafficus | just the two options for "pcm" and "ctl" |
| 01:55.43 | tuxd3v | but it seems to make sense :) |
| 01:55.51 | rrq | wish I knew :) might not be needed |
| 01:56.07 | Wafficus | cool that was the default one now |
| 01:56.12 | Wafficus | when I do speaker-test |
| 01:56.21 | Wafficus | it defaults to the audio interface |
| 01:56.23 | Wafficus | neat |
| 01:56.26 | Wafficus | thanks a ton |
| 01:56.32 | Wafficus | without pulseaudio too :) |
| 01:56.37 | tuxd3v | speaker-test -c2 -twav |
| 01:56.37 | Wafficus | clearly I have a lot to learn |
| 01:56.52 | Wafficus | I was trying to just get audio working so I can run some PS2 emulation lol |
| 01:57.00 | tuxd3v | you don't need to specify the device now since it chooses always the index 2 :) |
| 01:57.06 | Wafficus | tuxd3v: yes that works |
| 01:57.40 | Wafficus | now I've gotta figure out why the heck my Wii U pro controller totally works in the PS1 emulator on the Devuan repos |
| 01:57.45 | Wafficus | yet PCSX2 doesn't recognize it |
| 01:57.51 | Wafficus | like, it'll recognize it as an "Xbox gamepad" |
| 01:58.19 | Wafficus | yet when I assign buttons, it doesn't detect any input |
| 01:58.34 | tuxd3v | Wafficus, you can also test, now in other usb ports that you think that are usb2.0 |
| 01:58.46 | tuxd3v | to troubleshoot everything right |
| 01:59.45 | Wafficus | good idea |
| 01:59.47 | Wafficus | one sec |
| 02:00.19 | Wafficus | yep, changed it to different usb slots |
| 02:00.22 | Wafficus | works just fine |
| 02:00.24 | Wafficus | cool stuff :) |
| 02:00.30 | tuxd3v | nice! |
| 02:00.37 | Wafficus | now onto fixing the Wii U pro controller input for PCSX2 using the one from the Devuan repos :) |
| 02:00.49 | Wafficus | maybe it fixed itself on its own *crosses fingers ;D |
| 02:01.04 | tuxd3v | maybe if you push up the amplifier you could have problems but it seems to be working which is awesome! :) |
| 02:02.00 | Wafficus | yeah we'll see once I try to get Reaper up and running again using their latest build |
| 02:02.04 | Wafficus | might try Ardour though |
| 02:02.57 | tuxd3v | well, you should make a original soundtrack for us to listen one day |
| 02:03.25 | buZz | pcsx-rearmed in devuan would be nice |
| 02:03.42 | tuxd3v | my father was musician, but not professional, I tried to learn but to young to give value to things at the time.. |
| 02:03.53 | tuxd3v | now I would like to have lerned with him.. |
| 02:05.09 | Wafficus | tuxd3v: I already have a one man band |
| 02:05.18 | Wafficus | well the one I had finished honestly rather |
| 02:05.22 | Wafficus | I'm thinking about doing a new one |
| 02:05.29 | Wafficus | but yeah, I did like 9 albums with my solo band for a while |
| 02:05.34 | Wafficus | fun stuff to be honest |
| 02:05.44 | Wafficus | I just wish more people were able to collaborate |
| 02:05.53 | buZz | i've been trying to start a oneman band |
| 02:05.57 | Wafficus | I think I was focused too much on maybe getting people involved, or really trying to play live |
| 02:06.01 | buZz | but we can never find time to practise |
| 02:06.02 | buZz | :P |
| 02:06.03 | Wafficus | however its just better to just release what you want on Bandcamp |
| 02:06.11 | Wafficus | buZz: an hour a day would help man |
| 02:06.25 | Wafficus | buZz: I only do keys during the weekdays during lunchtime for work just to go over new stuff |
| 02:06.32 | Wafficus | guitar once on the weekends |
| 02:06.35 | buZz | i did make a semiguitar ; https://nurdspace.nl/Buztrum |
| 02:06.48 | Wafficus | but yeah, you have to get past the 6 month hump though. Anyone sucks on an instrument for the first 6 months imo |
| 02:07.18 | buZz | i need to find some template-able drumcomputer |
| 02:07.22 | Wafficus | neat project |
| 02:07.38 | Wafficus | buZz: I've seen some drum machines made with Arduinos |
| 02:07.45 | buZz | yeah me too |
| 02:07.46 | Wafficus | based on those pics, you look like the type that likes 3D printing |
| 02:07.51 | buZz | infinite options |
| 02:07.51 | Wafficus | totally could be done easily |
| 02:08.01 | Wafficus | just rip off a couple existing projects and copy pasta some code |
| 02:08.11 | buZz | too many options just reduce ability to pick a direction |
| 02:08.17 | tuxd3v | buZz, I think you made a keyboard =D |
| 02:08.23 | buZz | i did aswell! |
| 02:08.43 | buZz | https://nurdspace.nl/images/f/f4/Wearable_in_orange.jpg |
| 02:08.50 | buZz | its a chording keyboard |
| 02:09.04 | buZz | so you get 2^7 keys, and it has 3 keymaps |
| 02:09.14 | buZz | so 3*(2^7) keys :P |
| 02:09.29 | buZz | i still want to add mouse emulation to it aswell |
| 02:09.46 | tuxd3v | ho.. I see a rpi1 in the case, am I right? |
| 02:09.53 | buZz | yeah :P |
| 02:10.00 | buZz | its a old project of mine |
| 02:10.11 | tuxd3v | nice! :) |
| 02:11.35 | buZz | my main collection is just unfinished projects |
| 02:11.36 | tuxd3v | tuxd3v thinks fsmithred, knows more about music that what he has told us.. |
| 02:11.42 | buZz | preferably with some documentation |
| 02:17.07 | Wafficus | dang, I wish I was at this point |
| 02:17.09 | Wafficus | I just need a garage |
| 02:17.17 | Wafficus | but I wanted to do similar things with synths and guitars |
| 02:17.25 | Wafficus | * in electronics learning rather |
| 02:18.47 | buZz | Wafficus: join a hackerspace |
| 02:19.09 | Wafficus | maybe if they have one in Florida |
| 02:19.14 | buZz | they have one |
| 02:19.15 | Wafficus | gonna be moving in two months |
| 02:19.18 | buZz | or several |
| 02:19.30 | Wafficus | good idea btw though |
| 02:19.31 | buZz | check hackerspaces.org |
| 02:19.35 | Wafficus | cool, will do so now |
| 02:27.02 | Wafficus | yeah I have the same issue with the PCSX2 build using my Wii U Pro controller |
| 02:27.18 | buZz | i use a wii u pro controller aswell |
| 02:27.20 | Wafficus | it recognizes the controller, but when I try to input anything for the control mapping, nothing is registered |

| 02:27.42 | buZz | it just matches my hands better than the xbox or playstation versions |
| 02:28.13 | buZz | there's a kernel module to remap joysticks to a 'xbox controller' |
| 02:28.32 | buZz | apt search xbox , something there helps to remap em |

| 02:37.25 | Wafficus | yeah I have that one too |
| 02:37.29 | Wafficus | I think maybe that might be a good idea |
| 02:37.48 | Wafficus | I have that for Switch but I think the same brick USB adapter could be used for this Linux PC |
| 02:37.53 | Wafficus | I have two adapters |
| 02:38.02 | Wafficus | I have the one white adapter that's from Mayflash |
| 02:38.15 | Wafficus | and I also have the 8bitdo one as well for Switch, though I think it also works on PC |
| 02:38.22 | Wafficus | great reminder though, might be able to use that instead |
| 02:54.32 | buZz | yeah should be easy |
| 02:56.30 | Wafficus | kernel module as in |
| 02:56.35 | Wafficus | like a utility from 'apt' right? |
| 02:56.50 | Wafficus | ah gotcha |
| 02:57.00 | Wafficus | you got the instructions above |
| 02:57.03 | Wafficus | thanks |
| 03:00.34 | buZz | yw :) |
| 03:01.40 | buZz | with the 8bitdo you dont need the xbox stuff, unless you wanna remap |
| 03:07.38 | Wafficus | buZz: did you get it to work out of the box with the 8bitdo adapter? |
| 03:07.46 | Wafficus | like plug and play, and badda bing, just recognizes it? |
| 03:08.07 | Wafficus | or do they have linux specific drivers? I ask like an idiot because the last time I attempted to use it on this PC was when it had Windoze 10 on it |
| 03:09.42 | buZz | yeah in steam at least |
| 03:09.47 | buZz | no drivers or anything |
| 03:09.55 | buZz | its just a plain usbhid device |
| 03:10.14 | Wafficus | ah I see |
| 03:10.26 | Wafficus | I wanted to use it for the PCSX2 PS2 emulator though in this case |
| 03:10.31 | buZz | yeah |
| 03:10.35 | buZz | should work aswell |
| 03:10.37 | Wafficus | however, I think I'll try that for worst case scenario |
| 03:10.42 | Wafficus | yeah agreed |
| 03:10.46 | Wafficus | thanks for the reminder ha :) |
| 03:10.53 | buZz | and pcsx2 probably has its own joystick mapper interface |
| 03:10.59 | Wafficus | it does have its own mapper |
| 03:11.01 | Wafficus | however what's weird |
| 03:11.08 | Wafficus | is that it detects it as an xbox controller |
| 03:11.13 | Wafficus | but it just doesn't want to accept the input |
| 03:11.18 | Wafficus | Dolphin emulator on the other hand |
| 03:11.23 | Wafficus | is totally fine with the controller right out of the box |
| 03:11.27 | Wafficus | makes no sense to me honestly |
| 03:11.33 | Wafficus | most likely just an emulator related issue |
| 03:11.44 | buZz | could be |
| 03:11.52 | Wafficus | and more than likely, I'll just have to find a different input plugin OR at least try the 8bitdo adapter instead |
| 03:16.07 | Wafficus | thanks everyone |

| 11:07.53 | kreyren | https://bpa.st/LEGQ |
| 11:08.28 | brocashelm | if i remove slim, will that BS mounting/unmounting conflict still be in effect? that's what happened once when i tried ascii two years ago |
| 11:08.48 | brocashelm | (not a fan of graphical login screens and prefer startx) |
| 11:08.53 | fsmithred | brocashelm, you've played around in the Display settings? There's a checkbox for 'Mirror displays' |
| 11:09.18 | brocashelm | yes, i have checked there. the problem is it is NOT letting me set any other option for the monitors. just "default" or something |
| 11:10.28 | fsmithred | before beowulf, I'd use lxrandr to get my two montors to make one big desktop. |

| 19:44.50 | Wafficus | Hi there, I have a question regarding video card drivers for Nvidia. I have a Nvidia GTX 1060. Should I install the video card drivers from Nvidia's site or somehow find them on Devuan's repos? |
| 19:51.46 | kreyren | Wafficus, afaik they should be available in nvidia-drivers but they rarely work for me on debian |
| 19:52.08 | kreyren | If you have GTX970 and don't need vulkan then i would use nouveau btw |
| 19:53.41 | Wafficus | I have a GTX 1060 card |
| 19:53.48 | Wafficus | not sure if that helps |
| 19:54.19 | Wafficus | I tried searching for: "apt-cache search nvidia" but didn't find "nvidia-drivers" though |
| 19:54.23 | kreyren | nouveau doesn't have support for power management so it would be stuck in low power mode if that's desired then you can use that |
| 19:55.16 | kreyren | Wafficus, search for nvidia-driver* there are some packages |
| 19:55.44 | kreyren | i.e https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/ascii/ascii-backports/nvidia-driver-bin_418.74-1~bpo9+1.html |
| 19:56.07 | kreyren | these seems to be grabbed directly from debian |

| 19:58.39 | Wafficus | ok |
| 19:59.05 | kreyren | Wafficus, so the process should be the same it should pull the package and then you need to compile it yourself in /usr/src/nvidia-something |
| 19:59.07 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ apt-cache search nvidia-driver* |
| 19:59.09 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ |
| 19:59.09 | kreyren | ping me if u need help with it |
| 19:59.18 | Wafficus | are these from the standard repo? |
| 19:59.33 | Wafficus | or would i have to look into the closed source repo? |
| 19:59.36 | kreyren | eh? what is output of `lsb_release -cs` |
| 20:00.37 | bgustav_ | maybe he doesn't have non-free enabled in sources.list |
| 20:00.39 | kreyren | from the website provided it's in the non-free section so you need to add that in /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 20:00.47 | kreyren | bgustav_, second sooner! :p |
| 20:01.33 | kreyren | Wafficus, |
| 20:03.13 | Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ lsb_release -cs |
| 20:03.15 | Wafficus | beowulf |
| 20:03.46 | Wafficus | I see, I can always disable the non-free section after I've added the video card drivers as well going forward right? |
| 20:03.56 | Wafficus | *unless I probably want to update it, I'll toggle it |
| 20:04.01 | Wafficus | *temporarily |
| 20:04.17 | kreyren | Wafficus, i would rather pin the non-free for only the specified drivers |
| 20:04.26 | Wafficus | nice |
| 20:04.29 | Wafficus | I didn't know you can do that |
| 20:04.31 | kreyren | since disabling it will make it unupgradable which will break your system at some point |
| 20:04.38 | Wafficus | I thought you had to allow ALL non-free packages |
| 20:04.46 | kreyren | nah just the one you want :p |
| 20:05.09 | kreyren | or you can get amdgpu that works great on linux.. probably has better performance too and costs less |
| 20:06.13 | kreyren | Wafficus, see https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/apt/apt_preferences.5.en.html for the pinning |
| 20:08.06 | kreyren | Wafficus, should look something like https://hastebin.com/hugutixoxi.http |
| 20:08.50 | kreyren | Wafficus, you should verify by using `apt-cache policy targetPacakge` to see the pinning |
| 20:09.15 | kreyren | Wafficus, this is the pin in an effect https://i.imgur.com/lsBfQoA.png |
| 20:09.55 | Wafficus | looks like the first example is the only relevant one on that man page since all of the other ones use the "*" to grab all packages |

| 20:35.13 | kreyren[m] | You probably want nvidia-driver-bin-440.82 for Beowulf though |
| 20:35.16 | Wafficus | didn't you guys say to just modify the sources.list? |
| 20:35.37 | kreyren[m] | Wafficus yes to add the non-free repo |
| 20:36.15 | kreyren[m] | The pinning is just good practice to avoid unexpected non-free packages |
| 20:36.38 | kreyren[m] | Otherwise debianers are just keeping the non-free in without pinning |
| 20:37.34 | kreyren[m] | Since its very easy to install non-free package by mistake :p |

| 20:46.07 | kreyren[m] | Wafficus you want pin 990 since thats what is apt using for target release |
| 20:46.22 | kreyren[m] | See the provided man page it has explanation for pining numbers |
| 20:47.01 | kreyren[m] | And pin-priority -1 for everything else in non-free |
| 20:48.39 | kreyren[m] | https://hastebin.com/raw/hugutixoxi so just replace expected-packages here :p |
| 20:48.59 | kreyren[m] | Note that you can separate using ' ' |
| 20:49.11 | Wafficus | this is my correction given that statement |
| 20:49.13 | Wafficus | # Adding non-free source for just Nvidia GTX 1060 Drivers: |
| 20:49.15 | Wafficus | Package: nvidia-drivers |
| 20:49.17 | Wafficus | Pin: release c=non-free |
| 20:49.19 | Wafficus | Pin-Priority: 900 |
| 20:49.21 | Wafficus | Package: * |
| 20:49.23 | Wafficus | Pin: release c=non-free |
| 20:49.25 | Wafficus | Pin-Priority: -1 |
| 20:49.27 | Wafficus | ^ is that correct |
| 20:50.19 | kreyren[m] | Nope, let me make I for you with explanation |
| 20:50.44 | *** join/#devuan kreyren (~kreyren@fsf/member/kreyren) |
| 20:55.24 | kreyren | Wafficus, this should work in /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-something https://hastebin.com/raw/osuxuluhic |
| 20:55.33 | kreyren | return `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver |
| 20:55.39 | kreyren | for verification |
| 20:56.07 | kreyren | Wafficus, makes sense? :p |
| 20:56.58 | kreyren | also probably good thing to add https://hastebin.com/koluzeweti.makefile |
| 20:57.17 | Wafficus | I see |
| 20:57.20 | Wafficus | looks like I was close |
| 20:57.33 | kreyren | Wafficus, closer then me when i was learning pinning :p |
| 20:58.58 | kreyren | Also added reference https://hastebin.com/ogosatabij.makefile |
| 20:59.02 | Wafficus | yeah I've only done this for the dumb wifi adapter that's always non-free on most laptops |
| 20:59.04 | kreyren | in case you need to ever change it in the future |
| 20:59.05 | Wafficus | *before |
| 20:59.06 | kreyren | To know how :p |
| 20:59.34 | kreyren | Wafficus, you can do the same for the adapter as well just replace the `# Nvidia` thing |
| 20:59.43 | Wafficus | yeah I don't need the adapter right now |
| 20:59.47 | kreyren | or i guess for tidiness make a new pin |
| 20:59.48 | Wafficus | honestly, direct connect is just fine anyway |
| 20:59.48 | kreyren | ok O.o |
| 21:00.01 | kreyren | so summary: |
| 21:00.04 | Wafficus | I did do it in the past for a laptop when I installed Debian Minimum |
| 21:00.11 | kreyren | 1) Open /etc/apt/sources.list and add `non-free` |
| 21:00.34 | kreyren | 2) Open or create /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-something and add https://hastebin.com/ogosatabij.makefile |
| 21:00.42 | kreyren | 3) apt-get update && apt-get install yourPackage |
| 21:00.55 | Wafficus | got that, will add that to a guide in my 'guides' repo |
| 21:01.12 | kreyren | Wafficus, return me output of `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` with the changes |
| 21:01.16 | kreyren | to make sure it pinned it correctly |
| 21:01.25 | Wafficus | wait, the second option is new |
| 21:01.29 | Wafficus | hold on one sec |
| 21:01.37 | Wafficus | I thought we were supposed to just modify sourceslist |
| 21:01.40 | Wafficus | *sources.list |
| 21:01.48 | kreyren | Wafficus, that's why i am making the summary :p |
| 21:01.49 | Wafficus | I'll look at the preferences.d section |
| 21:02.26 | Wafficus | so for step # 2 |
| 21:02.48 | Wafficus | I have to add the "https://hastebin.com/ogosatabij.makefile" file contents to a make file? |
| 21:02.57 | Wafficus | or do I have to name it to something else in the preferences.d directory |
| 21:03.04 | kreyren | nah the makefile is irelevant that's just how hastebin identified the syntax |
| 21:03.17 | Wafficus | I see |
| 21:03.29 | Wafficus | so what is the name of the file that I have to put in "preferences.d" then? |
| 21:03.37 | kreyren | anything you want :p |
| 21:03.40 | kreyren | zz-kreyren |
| 21:03.40 | kreyren | :p |
| 21:03.52 | Wafficus | ok I guess nvidia-preferences |
| 21:03.58 | kreyren | you want the zz- prefix so that it gets processes last |
| 21:04.05 | Wafficus | zz-nvidia |
| 21:04.12 | kreyren | it goes based on file name so 00-something will be processed before zz-something |
| 21:04.49 | Wafficus | just so I'm on the same page |
| 21:04.54 | Wafficus | the contents of what I added to sources.list |
| 21:04.59 | Wafficus | is the SAME in zz-nvidia? |
| 21:05.05 | Wafficus | *under preferences.d |
| 21:06.33 | kreyren | nah sources.list should only have `deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/ beowulf main non-free` |
| 21:06.35 | kreyren | or alike |
| 21:06.52 | kreyren | let me make a markdown file for you with the procedure~ |
| 21:07.01 | Wafficus | its all good |
| 21:07.02 | Wafficus | I hear you |
| 21:07.12 | Wafficus | so modify sources.list with that 'deb' line ok |
| 21:07.26 | kreyren | yes for the target release that you are using/want |
| 21:09.11 | Wafficus | I have this in the sources.list file: |
| 21:09.13 | Wafficus | # Adding non-free repo to add Nvidia 1060 GTX drivers: |
| 21:09.15 | Wafficus | http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/ beowulf main non-free |
| 21:09.58 | kreyren | seems sane to me |
| 21:10.01 | Wafficus | I have this preference in the "zz-nvidia" file in "/etc/apt/preferences.d" |
| 21:10.03 | Wafficus | # Note: There has to be a newline (or comment) separating each pin for apt to recognize it |
| 21:10.05 | Wafficus | # Reference: https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/apt/apt_preferences.5.en.html |

| 21:10.20 | kreyren | i would like to see output from `cat /etc/apt/sources.list | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io` though |
| 21:10.21 | Wafficus | Pin: release c=non-free, n=stable |
| 21:10.23 | Wafficus | Pin-Priority: 990 |
| 21:10.25 | Wafficus | all I have to do now, is Step 3 |
| 21:10.28 | kreyren | stop flodding! |
| 21:10.32 | Wafficus | ok sorry |
| 21:10.36 | kreyren | use `cat path/to/file | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io` |
| 21:10.39 | kreyren | better :p |
| 21:10.39 | Wafficus | will post to termbin next time |
| 21:10.46 | kreyren | or termbin |
| 21:11.42 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/lmpf |
| 21:12.21 | kreyren | sec |
| 21:13.54 | kreyren | Wafficus, the `http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/ beowulf main non-free` is wrong |
| 21:14.08 | kreyren | Use `deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf main non-free` |
| 21:14.21 | kreyren | since you are using `merged` above -> No reason to use `/devuan` :p |
| 21:15.58 | Wafficus | ok I made that change |
| 21:17.07 | kreyren | show me the content of /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-nvidia too |
| 21:17.41 | kreyren | Wafficus, see also https://gist.github.com/Kreyren/cccf642ce672fd8f127ed128cf27749b |
| 21:18.04 | Wafficus | contents of 'zz-nvidia' |
| 21:18.06 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/r508 |
| 21:18.14 | kreyren | looks sane |
| 21:18.22 | kreyren | output of `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` now |
| 21:19.39 | Wafficus | I see the pinning comments though i'm not sure about the '500' value in your screenshot |
| 21:19.50 | Wafficus | thought it would have to be 990 instead |
| 21:20.00 | Wafficus | but I think its just for reference purposes anyway |
| 21:20.03 | Wafficus | ok |
| 21:20.04 | kreyren | Wafficus, i have hugged up system to now do the pinning so it's kinda confusing |
| 21:20.13 | kreyren | it mensions it having 990 and -1 |
| 21:20.21 | kreyren | trying to make better screenshot now >.> |
| 21:20.25 | Wafficus | no worries |
| 21:20.27 | Wafficus | its good though |
| 21:21.12 | kreyren | Wafficus, so do you have the output? |
| 21:21.26 | kreyren | output of `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` to verify that the pinning works |
| 21:22.35 | Wafficus | I tried Step #3 but received this message in the terminal: https://termbin.com/2zdj |
| 21:22.44 | kreyren | wrong command |
| 21:27.42 | kreyren | Wafficus, updated the doc https://gist.github.com/Kreyren/cccf642ce672fd8f127ed128cf27749b |
| 21:27.56 | Wafficus | but don't I want to install all of the packages that were whitelisted in the previous two steps? |
| 21:28.36 | kreyren | Wafficus, you do but i may have made an error in pinning so that's why i want output of `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` to verify that the pinning works |
| 21:28.41 | kreyren | or you might need changes in apt.conf |
| 21:30.42 | Wafficus | results of apt-cach policy nvidia-driver: https://termbin.com/vnmv |
| 21:31.57 | kreyren | Wafficus, run apt-get update and then ` apt-cach policy nvidia-driver` again |
| 21:32.05 | kreyren | it may need to pull the non-free sources |
| 21:34.46 | Wafficus | latest results of apt-cache policy nvidia-driver |
| 21:34.48 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/87u2 |
| 21:35.04 | kreyren | better but still wrong :p |

| 21:36.11 | kreyren | mb |
| 21:37.30 | kreyren | Wafficus, this should work https://hastebin.com/raw/ekayuhitet |
| 21:37.41 | kreyren | in /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-nvidia |
| 21:37.49 | kreyren | and return `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` again |

| 21:55.24 | kreyren | you need a pin for nvidia-support add that in /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-nvidia |
| 21:55.53 | kreyren | and repeat if you find another package that is requested by nvidia-driver.. seems that devuan didn't do a great job listing the dependencies for this |
| 21:57.20 | Wafficus | its already present on the "Package" key value though |

| 21:58.12 | Wafficus | That is my latest 'zz-nvidia' present |
| 21:58.23 | kreyren | `apt-cache policy nvidia-support` ? |
| 21:58.59 | kreyren | ah nvidia-support is not non-free based on https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowulf/beowulf/nvidia-support_20151021+9.html it's contrib |
| 21:59.11 | kreyren | so you need to add `contrib` in /etc/apt/sources.list too |
| 21:59.41 | kreyren | i.e `deb [arch=amd64,i386] tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian/ buster main non-free contrib` |
| 22:04.12 | Wafficus | I still get the same 'nvidia-support' has no installation candidate message even with that revision |
| 22:04.23 | kreyren | Wafficus, did you `apt-get update` ? |
| 22:04.27 | Wafficus | yes |
| 22:04.38 | Wafficus | here's my "sources.list": https://termbin.com/hgga |
| 22:04.39 | kreyren | `apt-cache policy nvidia-support` then |
| 22:05.15 | kreyren | ah don't copy my configurating that was example.. use `deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main contrib non-free` |
| 22:05.38 | Wafficus | how would I know what on earth to add from that package link though |
| 22:06.36 | Wafficus | should I use this value: nvidia-support 20151021+9 |
| 22:06.54 | kreyren | Wafficus, looking at https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowulf/beowulf/nvidia-support_20151021+9.html you can see https://i.imgur.com/LVXcZLN.png which corresponds to sub repositories in http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/ |
| 22:07.08 | kreyren | the usuall sub-repositories are main, contrib and non-free |

| 22:09.54 | Wafficus | I don't get it |
| 22:10.02 | Wafficus | all I have to go off |
| 22:10.06 | Wafficus | is this link https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowulf/beowulf/nvidia-support_20151021+9.html |
| 22:10.23 | Wafficus | is it "deb https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowulf/beowulf/nvidia-support_20151021+9.html" |
| 22:10.51 | kreyren | the deb.devuan.org/merged is the repository that you are using which has `dists` directory which is specified after and in which you have the sub repositories |
| 22:11.01 | Wafficus | that's beyond me |
| 22:11.03 | Wafficus | but ok |
| 22:11.19 | Wafficus | how an average person would know how to handle this is a bit difficult |
| 22:11.21 | Wafficus | anyway |
| 22:11.26 | kreyren | so `deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged <name-of-directory-in-dists> <sub-repositry-in-dists> <sub-repositry-in-dists>` |
| 22:11.41 | Wafficus | what bothers me |
| 22:11.45 | Wafficus | is that it doesn't say merged on that link at all |
| 22:11.49 | Wafficus | so hwo would I have known that |
| 22:11.51 | Wafficus | *how |
| 22:12.12 | kreyren | Wafficus, Well i am a genius, but in general when i was teaching this to my students it looks intimidating and complicated, but when you understand how and why is this done it gets exponentially simple |
| 22:12.46 | kreyren | Note https://gist.github.com/Kreyren/cccf642ce672fd8f127ed128cf27749b i believe that it has everything needed for you to complete the procedure feel free to add a comment or sent me an email on kreyren@rixotstudio.cz or ping me here if you need help or continue with it ^-^ |
| 22:12.50 | Wafficus | right, so you would have to been a package maintainer to know this in the first place |
| 22:13.11 | Wafficus | so you can understand how a normal person has no idea what in the (fill in the word) to use |
| 22:13.24 | kreyren | Wafficus, i understand why you think that, but not really it's understood by most of the apt-based users including ubunters |
| 22:13.44 | kreyren | it's like regular expression it looks very intimidating but is insultingly easy :p |
| 22:14.00 | Wafficus | well that whole ':P' is kind of getting to me |
| 22:14.02 | Wafficus | but I'll ignore it |
| 22:14.04 | Wafficus | anyway |
| 22:14.17 | kreyren | Wafficus, i can that's why i am teaching people for free ^-^ |
| 22:14.30 | Wafficus | I'm just trying to get these stupid video drivers updated so I can possibly improve emulation on this machine |
| 22:14.31 | kreyren | for the > so you can understand how a normal person has no idea what in the (fill in the word) to use < |
| 22:14.50 | kreyren | Wafficus, like i can make a script for you that does that if you want |

| 22:16.06 | kreyren | the whole foss looks like it's just bunch of projects full of long and exhausing code, but most of them are insuntingly simple.. depends on the motivation of the invidual to learn new things |

| 22:17.09 | Wafficus | moving on, I still kind of don't know what to put in anyway for that sources.list at all |

| 22:18.09 | kreyren | unless it's ubuntu which is because dell pays them for it.. and ubuntu is currently not usable as a result of it |
| 22:18.31 | kreyren | Wafficus, no the pkginfo is just a frontend for the packages to show you the informations |
| 22:18.56 | kreyren | you want `deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf contrib` |

| 22:20.09 | Wafficus | right, that makes sense |
| 22:20.15 | kreyren | http://deb.devuan.org/merged - Repository, note that you can open web browser for that |
| 22:20.20 | Wafficus | kind of wish that package link would have linked to the main link itself |
| 22:20.23 | Wafficus | could be better in that respect |
| 22:20.24 | kreyren | beowulf - your release, in repository it's in dists directory |
| 22:20.45 | kreyren | contrib - sub-repository in http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/beowulf dire |
| 22:21.55 | kreyren | Wafficus, It's designed this way for apt to handle and apt is very old so none was using websites before like that :p |
| 22:22.07 | kreyren | you would be using `apt-cache search` and other built-in commands instead |
| 22:22.18 | Wafficus | smacks kreyren for the tongue bs |
| 22:22.21 | kreyren | Exherbo Linux has a nice method for it though |

| 22:24.39 | Wafficus | phew, anyway, guess I have to go find it on the package list I guess |

| 22:24.57 | kreyren | but this is how most of debian users who knows how to pin and respect four freedoms does it~ |
| 22:25.13 | Wafficus | true |
| 22:25.20 | Wafficus | maybe I should just temporarily enable everything |

| 22:30.18 | Wafficus | does this mean I literally have to install every dependency present: https://termbin.com/bknb |
| 22:30.23 | Wafficus | kreyren: |
| 22:31.02 | kreyren | no you are mishandling apt :p |
| 22:31.17 | kreyren | you want `sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver` .. the dependencies will be resolved by apt |
| 22:31.30 | kreyren | Wafficus, |
| 22:32.18 | Wafficus | I tried that too, https://termbin.com/h8fr |
| 22:32.21 | Wafficus | kreyren: same result |
| 22:32.57 | kreyren | `apt-cache policy nvidia-legacy-check` then |
| 22:34.10 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/3pui |
| 22:34.29 | kreyren | if the pin says `-1` and you need it -> Pin it to 990 |
| 22:34.30 | Wafficus | because its '-1' does that mean I have to allow it somehow? |
| 22:34.32 | Wafficus | ok |
| 22:34.50 | kreyren | do that for all Predepend and depend packages in `sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver` |
| 22:35.22 | kreyren | nvidia-legacy-check nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd nvidia-driver-bin xserver-xorg-video-nvidia nvidia-vdpau-driver nvidia-alternative nvidia-kernel-dkms |
| 22:35.32 | kreyren | you don't need recommends :p |
| 22:35.48 | Wafficus | recommends what? |
| 22:35.57 | kreyren | Grabbed from https://i.imgur.com/kC3KEHb.png |
| 22:36.15 | kreyren | These are recommends https://i.imgur.com/YXIULlT.png |
| 22:36.33 | kreyren | aka recommended packages.. basically annoying advertisement for thing you might like~ |
| 22:37.29 | Wafficus | it looks like they're all in the same repo |
| 22:37.31 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/pr5o |
| 22:37.50 | Wafficus | http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf/non-free amd64 Packages |
| 22:37.58 | kreyren | yep and you are not pinning them :p |
| 22:38.03 | kreyren | that's why they have -1 |
| 22:38.05 | Wafficus | if I just add the non-free, amd64, and Packages, thats it right |
| 22:38.31 | kreyren | No the amd64 and Packages is not recognized |
| 22:38.38 | kreyren | or what |
| 22:38.38 | kreyren | O.o |
| 22:40.35 | kreyren | Wafficus, you were supposed to make this change https://hastebin.com/sujupiwuza.makefile |
| 22:40.50 | kreyren | which are packages added from https://i.imgur.com/kC3KEHb.png |
| 22:41.39 | *** join/#devuan m1k3 (~m1k3@cpe-108-176-236-167.maine.res.rr.com) |
| 22:42.38 | kreyren | and do it fast bcs i want to go sleep~ ;p |
| 22:42.52 | Wafficus | even with that change |
| 22:43.08 | kreyren | output? |
| 22:43.28 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/7yts |
| 22:43.59 | kreyren | weird |
| 22:44.20 | kreyren | my best guess u have a syntax error in /etc/apt/preferences.d/zz-nvidia |
| 22:44.34 | kreyren | bcs if u have a syntax error the pin gets ignored :p |
| 22:44.40 | kreyren | which is what seems to be happening here |
| 22:44.51 | kreyren | ahh |
| 22:44.54 | kreyren | i see the issue |
| 22:45.05 | Wafficus | I have what you gave me for 'zz-nvidia' |
| 22:45.07 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/qtr3 |
| 22:45.35 | kreyren | Wafficus, this https://hastebin.com/divusoxewe.makefile |
| 22:45.46 | kreyren | it had `nvidia-driver-bin` configured twice which made the pin invalid |
| 22:45.50 | kreyren | and ignored by apt :p |
| 22:48.20 | Wafficus | updated it to your recent change |
| 22:48.25 | Wafficus | but still same 'no installation candidate' |
| 22:49.00 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/6ojo |
| 22:49.16 | kreyren | `apt-cache policy nvidia-driver` |
| 22:49.46 | kreyren | ah `nvidia-driver-libs` is also duplicate |
| 22:49.58 | Wafficus | https://termbin.com/lk7v |
| 22:51.06 | kreyren | try now https://hastebin.com/raw/qacotopige |
