[Pipewire/ALSA] Can't adjust Master and Capture separately?

Hey everyone, I'm not extremely experienced with Linux audio, only a little bit, but I was wondering what could possibly cause this. Is this a bug, or is this expected behavior? On my laptop, in alsamixer, when "Master" is adjusted, it gets adjusted independently of everything else, which ...

Re: [Bash] Question about brace expansion as an argument

Could you post the rest of your script? Using ffprobe to query audio file parameters looks quite useful. Yeah, sure. I can still polish it up, but it works fine for my use cases. #!/usr/bin/env bash # If there are no arguments specified, set default arguments if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then set -- *.{flac,mp...

Re: [Bash] Question about brace expansion as an argument

Okay, I am pretty dumb... as how most programmers and scripters feel. All I really needed was a check inside the beginning of the loop: #!/usr/bin/env bash # If there are no arguments specified, set default arguments if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then set -- *.{flac,mp3,wav} fi for f in "$@"; do # Skip...

[Bash] Question about brace expansion as an argument

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure something out that relates to the Bash shell and my Bash script. So I have a script that uses ffprobe to process data for a bunch of audio files and print out stuff I can parse to check audio parameters and quality. As a lazy way to run the script, I've run it like...

Re: Live Build: Dynamic/Generated package list ideas?

Perhaps try a wrapper script around live-build? I don't think the `lb config` options can do what you want, unless I've missed something. Or manage the configuration using version control ( eg , git[1]) with separate branches for each type of ISO image you want to make. [1] Note that "git"...

Live Build: Dynamic/Generated package list ideas?

I have a question that relates to Live Build. Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this, but since this will likely include POSIX sh scripting, I thought it might fit here. Been thinking of how to best approach this. After reading this section - https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html...

Re: Live Build: Preset the time zone of a Debian Live ISO

Thank you itmicp and Head_on_a_Stick , I didn't know there was actually a "timezone=" parameter you could use on the cmdline. That seemed unusual. But I added this to --bootappend-live for lb config, and it works great. I didn't have the live-config manpage installed, so I didn't check tha...

[Solved] Live Build: Preset the time zone of a Debian Live ISO

Hey everyone, Been playing around with Debian's Live Build, and just wondering in general why the Debian Live ISO by default always seems to set the time to UTC. it is not possible to set the timezone in the chroot stage, because booting the ISO reverts it back. This person Erwin said that is must b...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

HTTPS really is the best thing for the Internet since buttered toast. Much appreciated from the bottom of my tech-loving, geeky heart. I also really appreciate that we still have the dark themes that can be enabled once a user is logged in. I still dislike the default light theme, but it is nostalgi...

Re: Cryptsetup is not working right

Trying to figure out what could cause this behaviour... - cryptsetup is redefined as an alias with a weird option - your terminal (or some layer between it and the shell) translates the enter key into CR+LF (\r\n) instead of just LF, so cryptsetup treats CR as part of the passphrase. The first one ...

filebox /dev/disk/by-partlabel/filebox none luks,discard Note that crypttab also supports the more compact syntax PARTLABEL=filebox (as well as PARTUUID=, UUID=, and LABEL=).

Re: Cryptsetup is not working right

Partition labels are something introduced in GPT layouts, which don't exist for MBR. Thanks for the clarification, I did not know that. I mean, as a little tech project idea, anyone can try out GPT on any modern PC. There are ways to convert any existing system from MBR to GPT. Sometimes the tutori...

Re: Cryptsetup is not working right

So I was just reminded upon looking up solutions that there is a `cryptdisks_start` and `cryptdisks_stop` command. By some miracle, putting this line in `/etc/crypttab`: filebox /dev/disk/by-partlabel/filebox none luks,discard And then running `cryptdisks_start filebox` and entering in the password ...
