If your /home partition is encrypted, and any other "data" partitions are encrypted, and perhaps your swap partition is encrypted (is that possible?) then I think it's pretty easy. Why would one need /usr and /etc and /var encrypted?

FWIW, I am on Debian buster, which just upgraded firefox-esr to 78; I have no pulseaudio; and I just checked youtube and it works ok. So, I doubt this explanation of Marc's problem. -- Ian ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

So install apulse, which likely will uninstall pulseaudio and leaave you lxqt without pulseaudio. -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I am running Beowulf and I have all the audio stuff perfectly running using just *only* ALSA (M Audio Audiophile 24/96 sound card, also connected to my hifi setup, whit a real-time audio configuration). I do not need any of the pulseaudio stuff (which is just a useless and total mess IMHO... Indeed, I have removed all the pulseaudio packages). Firefox, from a certain version onwards (sorry but I don't remember which one), removed support for ALSA from the default build configuration (maybe it will be restored in the future, I don't know if it has already been but I don't think so), keeping only pulseaudio support. This should explain why you didn't have audio on Firefox; while I can assume that the other problems depend on pulseaudio and its configuration (also because I seem to understand that they happened after you installed it...). The solution I suggest is to totally remove any pulseaudio stuff, use ALSA instead, install the `apulse` package which is a PulseAudio emulator for ALSA (this should ensure that Firefox -- and any other program which require pulseaudio -- will work even if pulseaudio is not present). Also I suggest to install some useful ALSA-related packages: - `apulse` - `alsa-utils` - `alsaplayer-alsa` (and `alsaplayer-gtk`) - `alsamixer` (and `alsamixergui`) to handle your audio devices - `volumeicon-alsa` a lightweight systray volume control Regards al3xu5 -- Say NO to copyright, patents, trademarks and industrial design restrictions!
