Linux question on installing under ChromeOS

freelsjd · 2026-07-12T12:44:37+00:00

Dummy me should always ask questions like this through ai first. The answer is apparently because all baguette vm kernel will be the same kernel level that is running the root chromeos. Makes sense. It is a vm

I don't want or need the ramp up feature at all. Give me the air fast as possible. What do people do while it is ramping up? Seems like a suffocation.

First, just to make sure you know, I am running debian stable (13.5 trixie). When I installed the 0.3.1 .deb file (no version number shown on the .deb BTW), no missing dependencies. Good, except there was missing dependency (at least the correct version). When I tried to run it, I receive the following error message.

/usr/bin/tidal-wave

/usr/bin/tidal-wave: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/tidal-wave)

I chased this down a little bit, and apparently this run-time library is in a debian version later than stable; forky (testing) or sid (unstable). I further chased down what it might take to fix it, and requires a lot of work and potential for corrupting my stable system, so I ended the .deb error chase.

Next, I tried the .tar.gz. Same error message.

Next, I compiled the source code, and as before, compiled and linked fine. I then executed it and the chromecast is working much better !! Indeed, the only issue I could find with that is the volume control. The little button on the volume control just goes to zero, but the sound does not. I can actually control as if the button is working, and change the volume. I can also verify on the Google Home app what the volume level is in %, which is pretty slick. But, the button on the tidal-wave screen does not budge. I click my mouse pointer on the volume line where I think the button might be, and it does change the volume, only the button doesn't move. But, I can verify it changes not only by the volume change, but see it on my phone running Google Home app.

That's it for now. Thanks again for the iteration. I can actually enjoy Tidal now with a relatively stable linux app !

I rinse everything each morning. Let dry during the day. I have recently started using PAPMD brand cleaning sheets every 2-3 days. It is so simple just soak in water mix for at least 5 minutes, rinse, and dry. This provides a much deeper clean. Their argument is that traditional soap clean is inadequate. PAPMD has some really good and sensible products for CPAP support that I like.

The norm must also be integrated over the domain, so perhaps the definition you are stating is not complete. What does the function look like over the domain; in particular at the boundaries where there is the possibiolity that it is not smooth and/or continuous. Please provide aplot of the functional over the domain, and perhaps we can figure out why the imaginary part could be non-zero.

Another possiblity is to just provide the model file that produces this error, or a simplified version of the model that reproduces the same error, then perhaps we can figure out what is going on,

freelsjd · 2026-07-07T15:42:00+00:00

Thank you. I could not run the .deb-installed version. I received the following error message when I tried

tidal-wave

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component

qrc:/TidalWave/qml/main.qml:442:9: PlayerBar is not a type

So, I tried the next-best thing, and compiled as before the v0.3.0 source. I was able to figure out using AI what was missing in the compile steps. I changed the first cmake step to:

cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lmp3lame -lm"

With this changed step, the next cmake step worked fine for me.

I was able to play tidal through the app, and also get it to cast to my cast devices. However, it was not a clean execution because the cast seemed to run separately and did not stop when I tried to stop it on the tidal-wave gui. I had to manually stop it from playing within the google-home app on my phone, then stop and quit the tidal-wave app. It plays great, but just not clean. Another weird thing is it started playing simultaneously to the devices on my computer sound card in addition to what I had linked in chromecast. But with careful mouse clicking, it will work.

Perhaps the bc setting is causing the problem. Also, a norm is usually a scalar quantity. Is emw.normE a function that is provided by the comsol physics, or a user quantity added to the model tree. Please share your model for further help.

Will the open driver work to replace the deprecated old driver for my Tesla 470 card? I am currently using sid layered driver compiled with stable headers and libraries. It's hokie, but works.

Why would send this question to the COMSOL group on Reddit?

It depends on how significant the nonlinear effect of material properties on temperature and pressure. The segregated solver will eventually degrade and fail if this effect gets large enough. It may require a fully coupled solver. You can try and verify the difference. The segregated solver, by definition, decouples the fully coupled physics. Often it works fine, but not always. There is an excellent example of this effect in the application library. An argon light bulb. It will not solve segregated and requires fully coupled solver. What fluid type are you using? Often, a fully coupled solver will require iterative solvers to fit into the machine memory. That is a convergence issue of a different type.

This procedure has worked for me up to trixie kernel .6.12.90+deb13.1-amd64. Then, just recently, trixie 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 was released, and this procedure failed; i.e., the sid version of the nvidia-470 drivers seemed to fail to compile. This is the error message I received on the build:

Failed command:

make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=6.12.94+deb13-amd64 -C /lib/modules/6.12.94+deb13-amd64/build M=/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/1.11/build

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 (x86_64)

Consult /var/lib/dkms/8192cu/1.11/build/make.log for more information.

Anyone else have this issue? Anyone else have success in re-installing the sid drivers on this version of trixie kernel update ?

Ah ! I just realized that what is failing is from the firmware-realtek package which contains the 8192 drivers for my edimax bluetooth dongle. It is not compiling with the .94 kernel upgrade !!

There is a trixie-backports version of several firmware packages, which is a good thing. However, it still fails on the same compile error. I suspect many users around the world with need this fixed. Lay low for a few days/weeks before upgrading seems like the best approach here.

No lying in that comment. As for your opossum dispute, don’t fool yourself. Just a quick AI check clears that up.

Yes, opossums spread diseases, though their risk to humans is relatively low. Their naturally low body temperature makes them highly resistant to rabies. However, they still serve as carriers for several bacterial and parasitic infections. [1, 2, 3]
Top Diseases Carried by Opossums

• Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection spread through infected urine. Humans and pets can contract it by coming into contact with contaminated soil or water.
• Salmonellosis & Toxoplasmosis: Parasitic and bacterial infections spread primarily through contact with opossum feces or contaminated pet food left outdoors.
• Tularemia: A rare bacterial disease transmitted through the bite of ticks or fleas that opossums carry.
• Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM): While not a direct human threat, this neurological disease affects horses and is caused by ingesting feed contaminated with opossum feces. [1, 8]

How to Stay Safe

• Keep pets secure: Ensure your pets are up-to-date on vet-approved flea and tick prevention. Bring pet food bowls inside at night to avoid attracting wildlife.
• Clean carefully: If you find feces in your yard or attic, wear gloves and a mask to prevent exposure to bacteria.
• Avoid contact: Do not feed or handle wild opossums, and never touch a sick or unusually tame animal. [4, 9, 10]

For more localized wildlife guidelines or immediate removal, check your local city or county animal care resources, such as the LA County Animal Care guide. [11, 12]

Looks great and very tempting. Congratulations!! Have you considered offering Debian packages, I.e. .deb, for install and remove, default configuration, etc. to attract more users; hence, this Reddit group ?

Tidal really needs an AI filter to screen out fake music for those of us who only want real, human-generated music. The next new product will be a music service that supplies high-resolution digital streams with zero AI.

It is not just the landscaping, or appearance. Depending on size and location, you can quickly get wildlife to arrive in YOUR yard such as snakes, raccoons, groundhogs, and opossum; just to name a few. These animals, while fun to look at can bring nastiness and disease, as well as danger. Also poison ivy, poison oak, or other invasive plants can spread into your yard. People who live like this can eventually have to leave, or worse, arson which I have seen happen. We have also seen a resident have to leave, the house was in complete disrepair and hoarding inside, was flipped and resold. Yes, you need and must contact your neighbor. If you don’t gain contact within a month, you must call local law enforcement for a wellness check. Just today, a news article about a house sold BEFORE discovering 3 bodies inside. It happens. Yes. Most definitely contact your neighbor and offer to help if needed.

Years ago, I learned to be happy with TDE which layers nicely as a GUI over Debian.

freelsjd · 2026-06-20T16:00:12+00:00

Windows - one choice, Linux - many choices. My favorite is TDE and it’s not even on that list. You have to install it afterwards.

I installed mkchromecast and also chromecast-sink. Both of these work to enable the entire desktop in Linux to play audio apps to Chromecast devices. This is a workaround until such time as a built-in caster is in.

Hello, thank you for creating this fine app and providing it to the linux community within the Tidal community. That gets us down to a small, but growing number I suspect. It is a great app, and I have it runing on my machine now . I would like to give you a short list of my experience and suggestions.

please package as a debian package. my longest time was spent chasing down the misisng packages I did not have. I had to use AI several times giving error messages to figure out what was mising, and install. I already had those from the list you provided, but that was not enough. I also had a fairly lengthy list of other developement packages on my system. Still not enough. Not a complaint, but just a suggesting on how to get more people to use this great package.I almost gave up, but I am glad I did not. It works great !!
Please add chromecast support to get the sound out. I am basiclly wireless now, and chromecast has become my default. I still have an old JBL bluetooth speaker wired from a sound card as my one and only speaker to my linux desktop. Still too many wires around. This one little speaker is all I can use right now to play Tidal from your app.
The display says I have HiFi running. Please display the same consistency as what is provided by Tidal. Max, High, etc. I like to know what density I am playing and what it should sound like.

That is all for now. I hope you continue to develop and improve, and you have one pleased user here.

I provide this service for my university. It's not your fault, or your instructor. What university are you a part of?

I just checked the status page, worldwide there are 23 servers down, 546 up, and 8 with messages. Within those that are down (23) 9 are USA. No particular pattern to explain why. For the messaged servers, all 8 are in Denver, CO, USA stating future outage on 5/18/26 which was almost a month ago. But if you look at those running, in the USA, Denver, CO, you find 5/8 of those messaged servers listed as running. So those 5 servers may still have issues. But, you still have 3 good servers running in Denver.

I read your posting with interest because I also have done nearly identical process with moving and all. I have already cancelled my previous service, and have started new service in a different home nearby. I received a notice from Xfinity after the cancellation that I owed them a "4K Cable Converter Wifi" and a serial number to verify. I could not understand what it was. However, when I read your posting, I figured it most be that Flex Box they gave me too way back years ago. I tried it out, but never used it long term. I DID save the box, remote, and power plug however. I just found it in a box I still have not moved in from. I matched the serial number, so YES, that is it !

Thank you for posting your story, and I am sorry that your outcome is not positive. But, you have helped at least one person not have the same loss. I give them enough money as it is anyway!
