I am wondering if my problem is caused by me not correctly understanding this coaching:

I don't like having to do the metadata/loading gio each time I used a new DDOG build.
The gio/metadata way is ok, if you don't do it frequently. But for me (and the OP of the link), this is an 'inconvenience', since we have to repeat the procedure each time (new build for me, and similar to ...

But, like the OP of https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=16903 , I think the XDG_DATA_DIRS is a 'better' solution (if it can work in DDOG). I don't like having to do the metadata/loading gio each time I used a new DDOG build.

@jp734 My PC seems to only boot in UEFI mode so I attempted to convert some older pups (including X-Tahr into UEFI by adding the boot folders , a grub.cfg file and the boot64.efi file, unfortunately this simply gave me a message "not a 64 bit image" I tried the tutorial from here, but the ...

@greengeek :-

Ian, what's your output from
Code: Select all
arecord -l

Ian showed that already in his post .

I am trialling the .pet version on my Fossa64 9.5 setup but cannot get sound to record.

Should this soundcard selection field be adjustable?

It offers no selections other than what is shown, and does not allow me to change from card 0 to card 1.

I had a look at .take_a ...

This appears in KLV's time to time.........found that it only happens in a certain scenario during the first system startup.....a system reboot fixes it.

It's default in KLV (with XFCE) that you get "untrusted" message after you copy a .desktop launcher to the Desktop and run it.
A reboot might ...

dcung A hard one to crack ! :?
Tested now with gvfs and I think that I found a solution/workaround.
Following from here https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=16903 works for me to make all launchers "trusted", but needs gio (edit: from package libglib2.0-bin):
for f in /root/Desktop/*.desktop ...

@dcung Strange... a .desktop launcher that's made executable shouldn't give the 'untrusted' warning.
I tested on DDOG with the XDG_DATA_DIRS set to /root/Desktop and it works without problems without needing to do anything else, e.g. Thunar --daemon & .

Yes, that's because your conf is using ...

I added to ~/.bashrc as above, and check that the variable XDG_DATA_DIRS has correct value after rebooting (ie. /root/Desktop/).
It finished booting as normal to X desktop now.

But "Untrusted application launcher" still appeared.
Not sure what happened.

Could it be that only new added ...

dcung Adding to ~/.bashrc works for me, e.g. :
echo 'export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/Desktop/${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:$XDG_DATA_DIRS}' >> .bashrc
Or just echo 'export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/Desktop/' >> .bashrc
Check after re-login:
root@live:~# echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/root/Desktop/

If you respond to this post, I will not be reading it, nor any of your future posts.

Take a Cast version 2.0

Changes:
bug fixed for 'resetting' ~/.asoundrc after recording from 'Soundcard' with plain ALSA soundsystem (see more info at above post)
truly portable (config file in 'LAUNCHDIR')
info message just before actually start recording is more clear
possibly will detect ...

Endlessly talking about this issue becomes very boring IMO.

Mike and I are contemplating about a new portable version ;) May take some time.
Meanwhile I found a bug; :oops:
In case plain ALSA used and the "Soundcard" option selected, resetting /root/.asoundrc doesn't always work, (i.e. when closing the GUI by clicking [X] it will go wrong) (it goes fine ...

To add to Bill's answer, perhaps the usb ethernet interface is named something else than eth0

Sonia confirmed that it's eth0 in pic #5.

Ah, ok.

Thanks, Mike. Seems to work fine once I figured out how to both record and listen to sound on my system. Annoying systerm. My microphone is connected via USB and for some reason my system thinks that it's the default for recording and listening :roll: . Decided to record a Youtube of Blood, Sweat ...

mikewalsh Does recording internal audio (with "Soundcard" option) work for you with your new portable setup ?
It does not work for me with a bare ALSA soundsystem (without pulse or pipewire).
(I think such a setup (by moving .asoundrc) as you did in LAUNCH won't work, perhaps it's possible when ...

To add to Bill's answer, perhaps the usb ethernet interface is named something else than eth0, check with ifconfig -a
(not sure though, but if so, you'll probably need to edit the 'interfaces' config file)

Ok, I do understand your frustration. I think most Linux users have been gone through the process of finding out e.g. "What is the best Linux for me".
(for example started with trying Ubuntu and came finally to a decision what OS suits them the most)

Does this mean if I only created persistence partition labeled "writeable", it would have worked too?

Yes, only a partition 'writable' labeled (btw, I forgot initially to mention it should be a Linux formatted filesystem, not FAT).

mikewalsh
Oh, and BTW; re your comment about how the .asoundrc file should be in /root? Believe it or not, using XDG to set it to the portable's "$HERE", it STILL seems to work. Surprised me, too! :o
Ok, that's nice, then your alternate portable setup could be ok, I guess, how you used XDG then ...

Thanks Mike for the explanation.

I do not know how anyone can tell if a program can run from the GUI or in terminal. This has not been explained to me.

Start all programs from a terminal, if a gui pops up, it has a gui. If not, it doesn't.
Also if something doesn't work right, it will generally spit out errors.
