Niltze [hello]- Given the fact that Debian Buster backports dmesg was showing frequent "systemd: Failed to start Journal Service" lines and causing some erratic behaviour in my reiser4 environment, I decided to replace it with openrc --due to the fact that I was unable to build newer systemd within the debian packaging framework in my dev machine < https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17013 >
I have other reiser4 Debian backports nodes, including instances in the cloud, where systemd exhibits no issues. Thus I built within the Debian framework newer openrc_0.42.1-1 without issues and installed it. Accordingly, these are the packages that were installed/removed during a typical openrc installation: ... The following additional packages will be installed: initscripts insserv libeinfo1 librc1 selinux-utils Suggested packages: bootchart2 bootlogd The following packages will be REMOVED: colord dbus-user-session gnome-disk-utility gnome-settings-daemon gnome-tweak-tool gnome-tweaks gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-daemons gvfs-fuse libpam-systemd nautilus policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome rtkit synaptic systemd-sysv udisks2 The following NEW packages will be installed: initscripts insserv libeinfo1 librc1 openrc policycoreutils selinux-utils ... I was running EFL 1.24.3 and E 0.24-2 with default systemd and upon reboot screen-dimmer worked but not the volume (speaker icon). I rebuilt EFL and E but this time setting systemd to false in meson_options.txt -- thinking that might solve the volume issue -- to no avail. Observing the removed packages log I noticed dbus-user-session as a potential culprit for the E volume icon not working anymore. Fact is most of those removed packages are tainted with systemd when built within the Debian framework, i.e., debian/control. Notwithstanding, I was able to build dbus from a similar Devuan (Debian without systemd) package https://git.devuan.org/devuan/dbus/ from the beowulf-proposed-updates branch: dbus_1.12.20-1.1_amd64.deb libdbus-1-3_1.12.20-1.1_amd64.deb dbus-x11_1.12.20-1.1_amd64.deb After installing those packages E volume control still does not work. Selecting Mixer all four(4): Playback, Outputs, Inputs, and Cards, are blank. I can play sound in local videos and yandex-browser (as it downloads its own ffmpeg binary) accessed videos at a fixed volume level set by invoking alsamixer. Notwithstanding, Firefox based browsers, i.e., Seamonkey, will not emit any sound. Question: Does E volume control even work with openrc? Or am I just engaged in a futile endeavor? ;-) Best Professional Regards. -- Jose R R http://metztli.it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download Metztli Reiser4: Debian Buster w/ Linux 5.7.19 AMD64 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- feats ZSTD compression https://sf.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Official current Reiser4 resources: https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
