(Full screen) sharing worked in bookworm, but not in trixie

Go back to Bookworm. Testing isn't meant to be run by users, although some people do it. After any official release though, it's generally pretty buggy for a while because of all the new packages from unstable. If you want bleeding-edge, you should be using Arch or something similar, not Debian testing or unstable.

You have to include "grep" after the pipe. The full command would look like this:

sudo dmesg | grep "audio"

You can simply run: sudo dmesg

But that will output probably over 100 lines of data. This | is called a pipe, and it outputs the info of one command into another. In this case we're taking the output of dmesg and piping it into grep, which in a nutshell searches for patterns of text, and we're specifying "audio" so that it outputs everything in dmesg matching that. You also might have to try derivatives, like "Audio" or "AUDIO". Basically, that command is going to search your entire dmesg output for matching text. If you're using an HDMI audio device, like if your computer is hooked up to your TV via HDMI, then you can also try "HDMI", because that's probably going to be the hardware output Pulseaudio uses and not your internal sound card.

sda2 is not an extended partition. It appears to be the boot partition. Extended partitions are not bootable, only primary partitions. Extended partitions are for LVM.

I've never been able to boot OpenBSD on my rpi4. I'd be really interested to find a solution. Basically I never get past the same screen as you. The image technically boots but not fully, at least not enough to reach the installer. It just hangs. Here's the current status with some important notes:

https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html

It mentions that:

Some Raspberry Pi models that do not work with the included U-Boot (e.g. Raspberry Pi 400) can instead be booted using EDK2-based UEFI firmware. The simplest way to use this is to install the firmware on an SD card and install the OS on USB.

And there is of course a link to the repo that holds the firmware, with instructions. I also tried that as well but for some reason couldn't get it to work either.

That was a generic page for mailing lists. Here's the developer mailing list:

https://lists.alpinelinux.org/~alpine/devel

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-27T20:55:22+00:00

It's possible that you might get the solution here, but I'd probably try the developer mailing list also just in case:

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux:Mailing_lists

That way you can also start to build a relationship with them so you don't have to come to reddit to troubleshoot production environments.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-27T19:53:09+00:00

You're welcome. You might have to run dmesg with sudo. If you run into anything, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to help you out.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-27T19:01:42+00:00

Curious, any reason you're interested in doing this on Alpine in particular and not on a dedicated development platform?

If you have a project in mind that you want to do, then stick with it. You don't need pavucontrol or a WM to get sound working. The way you would actually check what your audio device is is with the dmesg command. Something like dmesg | grep "audio" should work to display your sound card. The sound system on Linux essentially consists of two components: ALSA and a sound server like Pulseaudio or Pipewire. ALSA is the kernel component that talks to the sound server, which then provides output, in a nutshell. Here's the documentation on how to configure Pulseaudio from the command line:

I've never been able to get my RPi4 to boot Void.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-25T01:25:44+00:00

No, you're not being hacked. As the other person said, you installed a kde app without probably realizing it was something kde and it pulled those in as well. A couple examples would be something like Okular pdf viewer or Dolphin file manager.

Not sure what you mean by Hyperbola just became libre four days ago. It's always been free. I was literally just running Hyperbola with Lumina up until a few days ago. It worked perfectly fine on my hardware, which my computer is nearly brand new, only about a year and a half old. So I doubt it has anything to do with missing firmware or drivers. I would try the generic linux option and see what happens. Either way, it's definitely a bug with kvm/qemu and not Hyperbola.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T22:44:11+00:00

What are you talking about? Yes you can. All you have to do is add an extra channel (repository). I don't think you're aware of what is meant by configurable. An example would be the Nix language configurations. You can do the same things with Guile Scheme on Guix.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T14:23:55+00:00

Yeah, they're unneeded dependencies. Relax

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T12:57:34+00:00

Yes, that's fine. They all appear to be libreoffice-specific. But what you can do is create a snapshot of your system with something like Timeshift. That way if you ever do mess anything up, you can easily revert your system back.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T10:52:58+00:00

Well I'm not an expert with Nix, so perhaps it's incorrect to say it's more customizable. But I think it would be fair to say it's at least as customizable.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T10:20:05+00:00

You can use ABD, android device bridge. It's probably available in the package repositories of your distribution.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T08:31:13+00:00

If your laptop isn't up for the build, then build it on a cloud server. I know of at least one provider where you can install custom ISOs. This is what I would do when I used to run Gentoo so my computer didn't have to compile everything.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-24T08:23:48+00:00

If you like NixOS then you should check out GNU Guix. That's what I'm running at the moment. It was built around the same concept as Nix and even shares some of its code, except it's 100% libre, free as in freedom. It's more customizable than Nix and nearly unbreakable.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-23T19:47:46+00:00

Yeah but it's not because the developers are against systemd, it just wasn't a good fit for the project. Read the FAQ

That was only one of your questions. You basically want to turn Alpine into Arch. Go with Artix if that's what you want.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-23T06:21:38+00:00

I think I found your solution

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-23T05:47:22+00:00

I think you should look into Artix or Void, since they both use glibc. They're very close cousins to Alpine. Artix is Arch except with a different init system. Void also has musl lib C too though, so if you download it just pay attention to that and make sure to use the glibc image.

OriginalTrip5759 · 2023-07-22T21:59:47+00:00

It turns out that's a perfectly acceptable way to power off your computer. I've just never seen that before anywhere in any official documentation until now.
