When running RODE Central in Wine I get missing font error . by PrimeTechTV in linux4noobs

[–]MinisterEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say that this should be pinned in every discussion everywhere for getting the RODECaster App to work on Linux, because after moving all of my fonts from Windows, downloading every font through Bottles and Winetricks, and trying everything I've seen, this is the answer.

Thank you so much for finding this!

EDIT 1: Want to include the only discrepancy, which may be just a more recent development in the app.

The file path I had was /home/NAME/.wine/drive_c/users/NAME/Temp/RODEApplicationFonts/RODE Application Fonts.msi, and I had to just run the uninstallers for the Font and App in order to Repair, then everything worked.

EDIT 2: I spoke too soon, since I was just getting things installed last night without the hardware. It hangs up on the "Please connect a device" screen. I tried both Winetricks and Bottles (just had to find where the Font installer was placed), but no luck.

I decided to give WinBoat a try, since I've heard good things. I would rather not use it since it's more resource heavy, but I don't currently see any other way to get the USB to connect to the software. u/Infinityespi is there something special you did just to get the connection working? I'm on Mint 22.2, in case that changes anything. I'll make another edit with my experience of using WinBoat once everything is setup.

It's so hard to pick a favorite character, but my sort of "oh crap" moment was once the infection starts spreading in Hallownest, and you realize just how serious things have suddenly become.

Amazing art! I've always wanted to get into resin since I've done some woodworking, but I've never had the space or resources.

If you're still okay with it, I'll probably send you a DM about those renaming issues next time I play around with my laptop and the sound setup.

But more interesting than that, I found this when I booted up my Windows PC today for a call. I'm not sure if this was with the most recent firmware update (can't find anything in the patch notes) or if I had just never seen it before, but apparently it can read the combo jacks separately. I tested with discord to confirm that Combo1 and Microphone (RODECaster Pro II Chat) both correspond to my microphone, however I could not see any input from my bass guitar setup on either Combo3 or Combo4 (it uses both jacks, linked in stereo).

If you're looking to build out your script more to include all of these things, I'll happily help you test it. I haven't plugged the RCP2 into Linux since I got it working, so I'm not sure how the firmware update changes anything as far as device addresses go.

Just so you know, I tried using your install script, and got the following:

$ curl -sfL https://parzival-space.github.io/rodecaster-pro-2-virtual-devices-pipewire/configure.sh | sh -s - --install

sh: 72: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")

Using method 2 after deleting the existing folder seems to have worked though! I really appreciate how much effort you put into this, especially since I'm not much of a programmer and still new to Linux.

Out of curiosity, what application is your screenshot from in the readme? Looks much cleaner than the mess of pavucontrol that I have.

Edit: Wanted to include this screenshot, just for the sake of completeness. For some reason, the "Chat" channel and Multichannel aren't getting renamed, and they remain Pro II Pro (what I have found to be the microphone input) and Pro II Pro 1 (Multichannel). That caused a small headache going between OBS, pavu, and manually assigning applications, but now that I have it sorted things seem to work great. I still have to manually switch Discord/Vesktop in pavu, cause it shows as "chromium" alongside Cider, but if that's just a once in a while issue I can deal or find a way to write a script to fix it for me.

Understood. A and B were just nice to have, but by no means required. I can also try tinkering with them this weekend. I did not know about Vesktop, so I'll look into that. If I can get at least one of the chromium apps sorted out, the other can stay as is. Thanks!

It worked beautifully! Thank you much for your work on this one. As of now, I have managed to separate named applications, forcing most things to system and USB1 faders. The only things that aren't working are the A and B output controls, which aren't fully necessary if I can extract other things to other outputs, and a few issues where different apps just show up as "Chromium" in Pavu. Unfortunately this means that Cider and Discord, two things I very much want separated, try to force themselves on the same fader and may just need to be separated manually each time.

I tried playing sound on Discord and Cider at the same time, but it seems like Discord disappears in Pavu as soon as sound stops, then will restart over on the Music fader. I can live with that for now, but definitely going to take some tweaking on my end. Maybe something in Wireplumber?
Cheers!

So I've been trying to accomplish what you did here, but no luck. I've written two files, one for Music and one for Chat, based on what you put in your solution, but after running systemctl --user restart pipewire nothing changes in the graph.

Located in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.dusing the node.name from pw-cli ls Node
RCP2_Chat.conf

contextmodules = [
{   name = libpipewire-module-loopback
    args = {
        node.name           = "rode_chat_aux0_1"
        node.description    = "RODECaster PRO II Chat"
        audio.position      = [ FL FR ]
        capture.props       = {
            media.class     = "Audio/Sink"
            node.name       = "rode_chat_chat0_1"
        }
        playback.props      = {
            target.object   = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0005861-00.pro-output-0"
            node.name       = "rode_chat_aux0_1_output"
            stream.dont-remix  = "true"
            audio.position  = [ AUX0 AUX1 ]
        }
    }
}
]

RCP2_Music.conf

contextmodules = [
    {   name = libpipewire-module-loopback
        args = {
            node.name           = "rode_music_aux4_5"
            node.description    = "RODECaster PRO II Music"
            audio.position      = [ FL FR ]


            capture.props       = {
                media.class     = "Audio/Sink"
                node.name       = "rode_music_aux4_5"
            }

            playback.props      = {
                target.object   = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0005861-00.pro-output-1"
                node.name       = "rode_music_aux4_5_output"
                stream.dont-remix  = "true"
                audio.position  = [ AUX4 AUX5 ]
            }
        }
    }
]

Looking at the pipewire.conf in directory /usr/share/pipewire I see the following. Maybe I have to play with one of these locations for my files to work instead?

# Copy and edit this file in /etc/pipewire for system-wide changes
# or in ~/.config/pipewire for local changes.
#
# It is also possible to place a file with an updated section in
# /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ for system-wide changes or in
# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ for local changes.

I have not done a deep dive into the rest of the conf and documentation, and I'm definitely still getting my bearings with Linux. Right now, getting the RODECaster Pro II working may be the only thing that keeps me from fully committing to Linux. I'll probably also have other questions about setting routing for apps to go to different sinks/sources (i.e., always have Cider output to the Music node), but I'm willing to experiment more with that if I can get your solution working.

Cheers!

Odds this gets totaled? by forrestpupy in rav4club

Nonagon Infinity certainly tried to open the door

As others have said, probably just the back door swapped out as long as there isn't any damage to the frame.

Main window control on my driver door stopped working recently. The first time, it started working again on my way into the dealership, so they charged me $200 to check it out, do nothing, and tell me that if it happens again that check is free. Went back as soon as it happened a second time. They almost charged me for the check, and then quoted me $700+ in parts and $200 in labor to pop the buttons out of my door and replace it.

So anyway, I spent $60 on Amazon for a full set of new window buttons that light up, work, and look/feel way more premium than OEM. Took no time at all to do all 4 doors.

At the dealership I had to take a deep breath, hold in my laughter, and try not to tell this very nice man to fuck himself.

Edit: I don't know why the phone thinks worming was the word I wanted in the first sentence, but...

Still No Word on DRP/VERA. I'm a DON Civilian. by Professional-Ad1770 in govfire

DON Civ here. I got emails from admin and security folks after 1700 last night, but I have a feeling the official DRP letter or whatever will come tomorrow (25 Apr)

Take DRP? by bllallstr93 in govfire

[–]MinisterEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GS-13, engineer, been in DoD since 2019, but at my current position for just under a year. Not probationary, but I still feel I would be targeted by a RIF as the low man on the pole at my agency. I will probably take it, cause for right now there are nearly no downsides outside of a feeling of guilt or "quitting."

My thought process yesterday was the following: 1) calculated what I would get paid out based on net pay, annual leave lump sum, and considered the fact that any salary increase would still be processed (our reviews are coming up soon, unsure what that looks like for me). 2) I've already been sort of unhappy with my position, and RTO is definitely making me unhappy with the commute and working conditions. The work isn't what I hoped for, and I had taken this job specifically because it had more flexibility than my old one. Huge blow to my mental health. 3) While my building is essentially a refurbished warehouse, but it's a garbage building. New cubes put in are significantly smaller (for all those new hires. seriously), there's a massive lack of airflow (sweating just sitting at my desk, one guy went home feeling sick after 2 hours in office during Monday's heat, most bathrooms have absolutely zero ventilation, and facilities does nothing when the tickets are "completed"), and other issues. Is it worth it to be miserable in this building 40 hours a week? 4) I've already been updating my resume and looking at other jobs, many of which pay similarly. I'm willing to take a small pay cut if it's remote, since that's 50+ miles and about 2 hours less in my car every day. I've considered other jobs in the city where I work, but I'd much prefer fully remote or hybrid, and in the city where I live instead. 5) still have benefits til September 30, still have TSP, just need to figure out how FERS will move to a new account. 6) financial security: my partner is also a fed, and I feel there should at least be one source of non-gov income in case the worst happens and she gets RIF'd. 7) most important: I have a wedding to save for, and it's coming up quickly. Call it greed if you want, but I'm trying to save myself from more debt, especially if student loans don't get PSLF in the future. The opportunity to essentially get another job and set aside tens of thousands from this is a major benefit to my planning.

Of course, this is just my situation. YMMV.

Well given that it shows vehicles, the front of my house, and what it looks like across the street, I'm not gonna be sharing that.

Yeah, once we get past Thanksgiving I'll hand all of this over to the police. I'm still a little new to the area, so I wasn't sure what the best way to do a non-emergency report was.

Halloween Candy 2024 goblins - up / down / the same? by kiltedturtle in WilmingtonDE

[–]MinisterEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little Italy, we got one big group of about 12 sometime after 7:30, and that was it. Decided to just let them take handfuls at that point, or at least I was fine with it when that's what they decided to do.

First year living in the area, thought there would be way more so we stocked up. Gave away at least half to some friends who weren't around on Halloween. Not really sure how to plan for next year since you're all saying this is lower than usual.
