[Dng] The countdown

2015-01-24 Thread Go Linux
I know a few folks who are expecting Devuan to fail miserably.  As the deadline 
approaches, I'm hoping that you guys deliver the BEST Debian Jessie EVAH and 
prove these nay sayers wrong.  Last progress update was about a month ago IIRC. 
 A current update might go a long way towards silencing these skeptics.  Just a 
suggestion . . .

[Dng] Package Versions

2015-01-24 Thread tilt

Good timeofday,

I am new to this list, and I beg your pardon should this matter
already have been addressed.

Please consider this simple example scenario: Volunteer intends
to provide a modification of a Debian package "xyz", where the
modification is to drop a dependency on systemd (& co.).

Supposed sourse of action:

(1) Volunteer downloads "xyz" Debian jessie package sources.
(2) Volunteer makes changes to "debian/rules".
(3) Volunteer makes changes to "debian/control" where neccessary.

As result, volunteer will have a package source that can be built
into a package that does not introduce a dependency on systemd.

Question: How will volunteer version the new package?

Kind regards,
t...@linuxfoo.de

Even if you don't have a sound card, you can test jackd with 

jackd -d dummy

To associate the JACK daemon with your soundcard, you need
to first find the device name.

cat /proc/asound/cards

Look for what is listed in square brackets. On my notebook:

 0 [MID]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
  HDA Intel MID at 0xf262 irq 43
 1 [Loopback   ]: Loopback - Loopback
  Loopback 1
29 [ThinkPadEC ]: ThinkPad EC - ThinkPad Console Audio Control
  ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw 
6IHT37WW-1.12

I usually want audio device 0, called "MID" (not to be confused
with MIDI, a data format for digital music.) 

jackd -d alsa -A MID 

So, you just have to find your HDMI device name and plug that in.

Hope that helps,

Drat, I was hoping this was an announcement!

I did something to my Gentoo system today, and after powering down from
a hard kernel crash (3.16), I am getting my old friendly message from
LILO

 L 99 99 99 99 99 

Lilo isn't installed (grub2), and the partition scheme is GPT.  And I
can't find a fix which works, other than booting a 3.10 kernel off
SystemRescue and running my system from that (probably a chroot, it was
option 5 I think).

Couple of months?

Have a great day!
Gord

I'm pretty sure I saw a tweet from Franco Lanza that they're a couple days
behind due to problems building on ARM hosts.

Regardless, I trust that it'll be released when it's ready, and not a
minute before :)

I confirm the tweet, i have few issues on the arm build host and sadly i'm also 
sick for seasonal fever... Anyway, just some jenkins jobs to be configured, a 
massbuildto be launched and a push on the repository is what will move us to 
the alpha release
