@mikeslr yes I read this too
information: smtube 20.6.0 is the only working version ( all prior versions doesn't work anymore )

@memo good news, smtube is working again latest version 20.6.0 is now using yt-dl code note: because lack of hardware decoding support, a browser is never a good solution for video watching here a little comparison between vivaldi browser and smtube mpv (hw decoding is working) both are playing the ...

do you mean the used kernel 4.14.173 or another version ?
This version is working for me, no sound problems detected up to now.

welcome back

you are right, most versions of sm and ff are compiled without alsa support.

@peebee sorry for late reply in kernel 5.6.8 acpi_cpufreq module is present again. governors powersave, performance, conservative are working ( update: governor ondemand is builtin) I decided for conservative. Because cpu turbo boost seems to be applied on all cores at once, I deactivated this featu...

Running thru some paces, I've noticed a bug in Osmo 0.2.10, crashes when adding a contact, guess the libxml2 bug has bit again, see here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=442871260&t=115567 @Wiz57 yes I remember this bug. Only compilation of a version with enabled debug ...

@peebee thank you very much already downloaded but not tested yet because I'm currently not at home. Have only my old 32bit laptop here. So test has to wait until end of next week unfortunately. @Marv as mentioned some posts above start_cpu_freq and wcpufreq script expect this kernel module Can you ...

@ahoppin

it87 oh yes I remember ( really a lot of years ago )
because of ACPI I/O resource conflicts
loading of the it87 module will prevented
you could try boot with parameter "acpi_enforce_resources=lax"
but to be honest this is not to recommend

Nice collection here

Hi peebee,

many thanks for your effort.
To be honest I've also no logical explanation at the moment for this.
Downloaded just right now arch linux kernel 5.5.13 to compare.
All modules present.

Many thanks once again

there is no acpi-cpufreq modul present
yes I had a look at the kernel configuration
I thought the letter "m" means modular
