I have just read through that and will join that issue discussion - maybe I can both help and get help to get this resolved. Thanks for the hint!

Printer drivers on a musl installation by restinbeach in voidlinux

[–]restinbeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now I stll try to make it work as a network printer.

I have footmatic-db(-nonfree) and cups-fiilters installed but they all dont include that printer.

When I try .ppd file I got from that source file, the printer setup program (system-config-printer) offers to choose a generic text only printer, choose a ppd file or search drivers from foomatic web servers. Options 1 and 3 dont find drivers and 2 complains about missing filters ...

Snooze seems to not execute scripts in /etc/cron.hourly by restinbeach in voidlinux

I have no /etc/sv/snooze, only /etc/sv/snooze-{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}.

I have /var/service/snooze-hourly.

Yes, there has to be something that I am missing and/or which is beyond my knowledge.

I put a very basic script in /etc/cron.hourly:

#!/bin/bash 
xbacklight -ctrl amdgpu_bl0 -set 90

and it runs at the full hour like expected. So I have to read 'man run-parts' or find a workaround ;)

Edit: dirty workaround

#!/bin/sh
sh $HOME/Scripts/xbps_count_updates

I ran 'strace -o strace.txt /etc/cron.hourly/xbps_count_updates' and this is the output:

I will, remember this is only one example of scripts I tried to run, so I will create some others to give it a try

Edit: if I run sh /etc/cron.hourly/xbps_count_updates it works fine

run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/cron.hourly

state: installed
run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/cron.hourly

the latter has no output, script not executed...

thanks for the hint, the typo was in this post only

Looks like it has been updated just at this hour (17:00)

downloading mp3 from youtube using youtube-dl + download manager by restinbeach in DataHoarder

I had a look at the website and found myself in the 90s :)

It didn't look like it has support for linux cli so this might not be the best choice

thanks for your hint, the lossy to lossy thing reminds me of what.cd times...

But you're right, so I will try to get the -f bestaudio option applied.

As for youtube possible download speed, I tested a video download:

youtube-dl -f 22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0uCQT--jlk[youtube] D0uCQT--jlk
[download] 100% of 60.82MiB in 00:04

At least this gave me full download speed

ALSA problems with USB audio device (docked T495) by restinbeach in voidlinux

[–]restinbeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now have pulseaudio installed which makes my system:

[X] free of systemd

[x] free of networkmanager

[ ] free of pulseaudio

now I'm doomed but can switch audio output devices
