You wouldn't understand, it's too complicated.

Not bothering with redundancy and lack of real world use cases doesnt imply that

Is there a system wide equalizer for linux?
On Windows i used Equalizer APO, any alternative for linux?

Attached: 15539680949590.gif (320x320, 818K)

linux is a kernel and it does not support audio by itself

You can use PulseEffects if you're using PulseAudio.

alsaequal

There's two, pulseeffects and pulseaudio-equalizer.

You probably want pulseeffects even though you're looking for an equalizer and good old pulseaudio-equalizer is exactly that. But that's all it is. Period. Nothing more. pulseeffects has an equalizer and a toolbox of other settings and effects.

There's a folder named sound/ in the kernel tree with 2200 files and this folder disagrees with your opinion regarding kernel audio. pulseaudio, which is mostly used by applications these days, can't do nothing without the kernels ALSA interface.

Attached: pulseeffects.png (1745x1103, 163K)

But pulseaudio-equalizer has been deprecated, which is precisely why everyone is recommending pulseeffects. I wouldn't bet on it working with future versions of PulseAudio forever.

I want to create a program that sends predefined strings to the current location of the keyboard cursor.
Do I have to send the string to stdin of e.g. Firefox? Or to the GUI manager (Dolphin/KDE)?
What are some terms/keywords I can google to this?

I guess making people feel bad doesn't help as much as making them feel good. We should be more welcoming. How would a slave who doesn't know anything except slavery want to enjoy freedom if we don't show him a warm welcoming and help for jumping off the train?

Don't make people feel bad for what they have, but make them feel good for what they can get!

Because GNU/Linux is about freedom (except some malicious distros like Ubuntu or Arch, but no one uses them anyway).
No one cares about your propietary digital restrictions management platform.

>choose between Wayland and X.Org because Fedora
So do I have a solid reason to use Wayland instead of X.Org, like, there is gain in performance?

do you assume people just know what your obscure third world abbreviations mean?

Bumping this.
Would I need any old codec for .wav or something specific if it’s pulse I’m using?
I think I’m using pulse.

I did, in QEMU anyway. I'm kind of amazed how far GNU went in their own direction with their GNU/Linux distribution. As in .. they went their own way. All the software, everything, is in /gnu/store. Doing "sudo guix install icecat" installed it there but it didn't because available for the regular user until I did "guix install icecat". /bin has a single sh symlink which points to /gnu/store. There is no /lib/

Default desktop's XFCE, Kernel's 5.0.10.

There's no systemd on Guix and there's also no /etc/init.d

All in all, just after trying it out for 10 minutes.. I am fairly certain it will be a dismal failure which will gain 0 market-share. Why? It's so different from Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOS, even Gentoo. I am sure I can read their very fine manual and learn how to use it. It would take some time since it's like learning a new OS. Might as well learn to use FreeBSD. Switching between say Ubuntu and Fedora is a matter of typing dnf or apt-get to install packages. That's about it. Guix appers to be vastly different.

what do you mean by PoS and S.O? what exactly do you want to accomplish?
you can install most programs using the "apt install" command, have you tried that?

can i install steam on it?

Great, since you're not a US citizen the government will spy on you even more and share secrets with its 4 buddies.

and this is what first world understand for friendly?

maybe in 15 years

PoS, Point of Selling and S.O. my bad that was O.S. "linux distributions". i try the "apt install" but not work. it's my first time using gnu

I assume you're a spic or a hue, hence SO instead of OS. Mate, just use apt-get or apt for the matter. If you get any errors while installing the program you want, read why you got the error, for example dependencies not met, as TeamViewer requires libssl1.1 if I'm not mistaken. And what the fuck is a PoS?

how do i install icecat in linux mint
i already donwnloaded the tar.bz2 file and decompressed it
i installed veracrypt directly from the terminal but cant install icecat

>literal meme
why?

Okay, you're really a spic/hue. Where did you get your ponto de venda software? Did you buy it or just downloaded some pirated one on the internet?

>libssl1.1 thanks bro, that's usefull.
there is a place where you can find all the most common libraries?

i'm latin, indeed, PoS is a Point of Selling, you know, read bar code, print ticket, Inventory that stuff. Sorry for S.O.

it's a free soft from sourceforge

Yeah, I got it, but "Point of Selling" means shit nothing in English, you can't translate it directly like that. Anyway, is there any tutorial for installing it on Debian?

Last night I tried to install Arch Linux and I couldn't get my device to connect to my AP, no matter what network manager I used. I tried WPA supplicant, iw (which obviously didn't work because it doesn't even support WPA2-PSK to begin with) and netcli, and none of them worked. The driver was loaded and the WiFi card was initializing correctly (it's an Intel 5100 AGN or something like that)
What else can I try?

How to skip an update to a specific package on DNF?

Stop using shit distros.

apt hold

xbps-pkgdb -m hold

>Dpkg –i pos.tar.bz2
You can only install .deb packages.
Try "7z e pos.tar.bz2" (Type "sudo apt install 7z" if it says command/program not found) and post the contents of the extracted file.
Anyway, if you ever need to install something, try looking at the Debian repos first. Type "sudo apt search *insert program here*" to check.
Yes, check with what I told you.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, but I reinstalled Windows because of this, so I can't test any of them at the moment.

Well.. steam is proprietary software so I'm sure they won't make that easy for you.

That side, there are these evil binary firmware blobs in most distributions - but not Guix since they are not free open source software - needed by video card drivers for fancy modern things like accelerated graphics. Not entirely sure how useful Steam is without that.

I love the idea of Guix, don't get me wrong. I also like to be able to do things like play video files and have my fancy expensive graphics card perform better than something from the 1990s.

>I reinstalled Windows
Thanks for posting

Do you know of any solution though? I'd rather be using gentoo if i could

thanks, bruh!. you are a nice person. you got me some real information instead get xenophobic angry because my mistake of put a S before a O.

No, never. Also on Gentoo.

So... did you set whatever variable you set systemwide and not just for ungoogled chromium?
That's weird then, why don't you just undo it and only set it for that package?

>>ebuild wants a 64-bit system library to be 32-bit instead
>>try to force it to use the 64-bit library
can you actually do this?
normally it should tell you which libraries need to be rebuilt with the 32-bit option enabled so that it builds it for both arches
