<gnucode>apt is saying that I have held broken packages

<gnucode>aptitude may have fixed the problem.

<gnucode>morning friends!

<gnucode>privacy: how are you doing?

<anthk_>how's the hurd support on physical machines?

<gnucode>anthk_: It can run on modern Intel processors including SSDs, but it is fairly hard to get it installed on those machines.

<gnucode>I'm running it on a T43. 1.5 GB

<gnucode>and it's running X

<anthk_> https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/dzammit/ is this accepted into mainline?

<youpi>we use rumpdisk for hurd-amd64

<anthk_>did audio work? does it use azalia.c for instance?

<gnucode>anthk_: audio is still a work in progress. We do want to use a NetBSD kernel for audo drivers.

<gnucode>The Hurd did have a demo of sound a year or two ago. So it is not terrible far away.

<youpi>audio is not integrated

<youpi>(but the librumpdev-audio0 library is built)

<gnucode>weirdly enough, I think I am going to try to make a "watch me hacking on the Hurd video", I apparently can record the screen via the Hurd, but I have to use Linux to record the audio. Then I'll try to combine the audio and video. It'll be interesting.

<gnucode>well my ffmpeg recording of the Hurd screen did not work as well as I would have hoped.

<gnucode>output.mp4 is created, but linux can't play the file.

<gnucode>now I am trying to install kazam

<gnucode>kazam did not work. haahah.

<etno>Uw

<gnucode>hey hey recordmydesktop totally works!

<gnucode>Now all I need to do is to record sound on linux and merge the files!

<etno>>>weirdly enough, I think I am going to try to make a "watch me hacking on the Hurd video"<< sensitive content ahead!

<etno>I want to subscribe ;-)

<gnucode>etno: I do have some videos up on hard limit.

<gnucode>video.hardlimit.com

<gnucode>I'm "The GNU Guy"

<etno>I remember watching the one about Texinfo, and laughing quite a bit with the mac-users pun

<gnucode>noice!

<gnucode>so get this, the Hurd is recording my screen...

<gnucode>I had linux set up to record my audio via audacity. Now Linux is locked up, and I'm still working on the hurd.

<gnucode>Normally it's the Hurd that gets locked up!

<gnucode>Not today!

<gnucode>hmmm, my linux machine just moved to a new desktop workspace. So it's rnning, but input is either not accepting input, or is accepting it really slowly.

<gnucode>well the hurd is a bit slow in saving the desktop recording. I only told it to record 5 frames a second. I should probably change that to a lower frame rate.

<anthk_>use a less complex codec

<gnucode>I think it's using ogv

<gnucode>brb

<gnucode>howdy again!

<gnucode>and magit works again! woo hoo!

<anthk_>how's a daily usage of hurd in a vm?

<gnucode>anthk_: what do you mean?

<gnucode>I personally prefer not to use it in a vm.

<anthk_>ok, under real life loads/work

<gnucode>well SMP is not really ready yet.

<gnucode>So it only runs on one core at the moment.

<anthk_>as GNU/Linux today looks more and more like a huge blobbed chunk with a supposed GPLv2 licensed kernel taped aside, I wish hurd gets more support
