Re: How to record what the PC is playing?

How to do it: 1. Buy a soundcard that has a hardware mix-out support (most soundcards made before year 2000 have this feature). 2. Run pulseaudio and configure it to "record what you hear". If option (1) and (2) don't appeal to you, then read here . EDIT: post moved to its own HOW-TO to make it more ...

We already have "fbida" (https://github.com/kraxel/fbida) which more or less the same thing.
That being said, we have added "fim" the repo too.

How would this work if grub4dos step was eliminated? It will stop working. Reason: one less package to be concerned, as the 'real/only' intent is to boot the PC (with the FATDOG logo , of course :) ) There is no package to be concerned. Extract the boot images, use Balena Etcher, and you're done.

Re: FatDog 812 - problems with nouveau driver ???

nouveau is a kernel driver.

If you want to use a different version of nouveau, you need to use a different kernel.
Follow the instructions here, or here.

Fatdog 810 uses 4.9.92 kernel.

Full list of all kernels ever built for 800 series are here.
