| rustyaxe | I've got the weirdest issue after moving my setup from one devuan machine (pi4 64bit) to x86_64 .. same usb sound widget (literally) --on new machine i have to run a script such as while true; do amixer -c 0 sset Speaker 3; sleep 30; done -- bumping the volume back to 25% instead of zero, because *SOMETHING* keeps resetting it to 0... happened with pulseaudio and still happening with pipewire. | 16:19 |
| gnarface | that's weird | 16:24 |
| gnarface | it's gotta be something using audio though, how many things can it be? | 16:24 |
| onefang | I have a weird issue after moving my computers to my new house. I lock the screens with xscreensvare, which blanks the two monitors as well. Then when I wave my mouse around to wake it up so I can type in my password, the second monitor displays the actual contents instead of being blank. | 20:17 |
| onefang | It's possible I have that one plugged into the other HDMI socket, and everything but xscreensaver figured that out right. | 20:17 |
| onefang | Note this is BEFORE I type the correct password, after that the contents of both monitors is shown like they should. | 20:18 |
| gnarface | i think it's possible newer compositors are breaking xscreensaver behavior | 20:33 |
| gnarface | or it's just a dumb bug maybe | 20:33 |
| gnarface | what's your window manager, and are you using wayland or xorg? | 20:34 |
| onefang | openbox and xorg. | 20:40 |
| onefang | I'll try the other HDMI socket later. | 20:41 |
| onefang | I just thought I would pile on with the weird issues, in case I got lucky. B-) | 20:41 |
| rwp | onefang, xscreensaver is just a little odd about some things. In the name of security it is probably doing something funky and failing to handle this setup correctly. That's my guess. | 21:40 |
| rwp | The author of that is jwz and if you know then you know that jwz hates operating system distributions and sometimes actively works to break them wanting users to get the source direct and then compile everything locally. | 21:41 |

| xrogaan | rwp: it's not about hating, it's about wasting his time with out of date problems. | 22:41 |
