Tumbleweed - Where are SDL3_image, etc..
by David C. Rankin 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Devs, all, Tumbleweed provides the SDL3-devel package but doesn't list any packages for SDL3_image, SDL3_ttf, etc.. I would expect them in the same main TW repo along with SDL3-devel and SDL2-devel, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf, etc. which are all there. Are the supporting SDL3_xxx packages named something different that I'm just not finding? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

by -pj 04 Oct '24

Hi, machine here openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241002. I would like to migrate Thunderbirds personalized/settings and mail accounts to another machine. Instead of going through and manually setting things up from default on the other machine. Is this a fairly common and straightforward procedure? Can you tell me how preferred to do this? The other machine is same TW snapshot also. -Best Regards

We pipewire users can EASILY get better sounds!
by Masaru Nomiya 04 Oct '24

04 Oct '24

Hello, I've been trying to make a filter for a few months now, in order to improve the sound I get from Pipewire, which has improved dramatically since version 1.0.0. Today, I thought I'd finally managed to get a sound I was satisfied with, so I took the filter off to check the quality of the sound I was getting from my own filter, and was astonished to hear the sound. The sound through my own filter was not so much different, and the only difference was that there was no reverbation in my own filter. So, I went to the doctor for my regular check-up, and while I was waiting to be seen, I suddenly had the idea that "pipewire was using the plugins I had installed to create my filter". When I got home and checked the source, as I had suspected, it had been. On the other hand, I also found that pulseaudio does not have this function. BTW, when I installed the lv2 (lv2-SmartAmp) plugin for guitar sounds, which I had only installed the vst3 plugin for, and played it, the sound quality clearly improved. What I don't understand is that I have installed plugins to improve the sound of string, wind and percussion instruments, but they are all vst3 plugins, and I have created my own filter using vst3 plugins. But there is no change in the sound without the filter... (_ _? Anyway, I created my own filter in the following way, and I used synthesize to incorporate filters that improve the sound quality of various instruments, along with filters that enhance the bass, but this seems to be the same as the sound source processing that pipewire does. synrthesize --> equalize --> 7.1 virtualize --> reveb So I think it would be good to install the lv2 plugins that matches each sink, but I have installed too many lv2 plugins, so I don't know which plug-in matches other than the guitar. However, I think it's worth a try, so please give it a go. By the way, when checking the effect of installing plugins, be sure to execute $ systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber. I think that people who like jazz and live performances will be fine with this setup (listening on the same floor as the performers), but I like the hall tone we get when listening in a concert hall or church, so I make and use a reverb filter. If there are any people who want it, I will upload the filter, so please let me know. Best Regards & Good Night. --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ lake.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "It's music that matters." -- "Brassed Off" 1996 British comedy-drama film --

TW - 6.11 kernel - Nvidia G04 build just fine :)
by David C. Rankin 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

All, The G03 (340), G04 (390) and G05 (470) Nvidia drivers build without further patching on the 6.11 kernel. Since starting the patch scramble last week, this looked to be the case, but had not tested since Arch has not yet put out the 6.11 kernel in its core repo. (openSUSE TW Beats Arch on 6.11 kernel -- should be the byline) The open-source driver for current cards and GPUs did need some patching and there was an open question whether changes to the fbdev header in the kernel would need a patch for the closed source drivers as well. Nope, all good! $ uname -r 6.11.0-1-default $ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia_drm 65536 1 nvidia_modeset 1339392 3 nvidia_drm nvidia 19791872 83 nvidia_modeset ipmi_msghandler 94208 2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia video 81920 1 nvidia We haven't has a smooth minor version bump since 6.8 -> 6.9 (and none in memory before that for a long time). Small favors. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Nvidia G03 - G05 driver users - Get your patches ready - Linux 6.11 was released today...
by David C. Rankin 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Devs, All, The 6.11 kernel was released today so it will soon show up in Tumbleweed. To avoid a repeat of the 6.10 Nvidia kernel driver update delay, it's time to start the patch scramble (if required). Very few minor version updates don't require patching of the Nvidia driver for the G03->G05 drivers. The only one in recent memory was the 6.8 -> 6.9 update. I'll start looking now, but would welcome any help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
