Re: [FINISHED] BunsenLabs Lithium Release Candidate iso available

Thanks for the suggestion, already been trying that with no solution yet.

That would have been useful information to have provided

I can also now confirm that the same issue occurs on a Helium build.  Must be something about this particular laptop.  I will post elsewhere to see if anyone has nay ideas.

Thanks

Re: [FINISHED] BunsenLabs Lithium Release Candidate iso available

I like the Lithium build a lot so far. Seems faster than Helium. I am very utilitarian, so I liked the fact that it took very little time to turn it back into "Waldorf" appearance-wise. For me everything is just a tool. The more simple the better. Not a fan of jgmenu. I will just start programs, that don't get added to the menu in a terminal until I get time to go through the "Lessons" on the man page.

The only real issue I'm having so far is with audio. It sounds great, but it actually cuts power to the audio when it's not being used for a few seconds and turns it back on when it thinks it needs it. This results in a thump from my amp every time I start a video or I get an alert and a thump again a few seconds after when it powers back down. I figure there's a config file that says something like "Audio power save = 1" that I need to change, but I have yet to find it.

Are you on a laptop? Even if you're on a desktop, this behaviour is indeed powersaving. An easy fix that doesn't involve too much fiddling with udev and such would be installing TLP and setting both of these variables to off: https://linrunner.de/tlp/settings/audio.html If you install TLP on a desktop, you'll likely have to take care to configure a couple of other settings to high-performance only, otherwise it'd likely tune down the CPU and such in the name of powersaving.

Thank you! that seemed to have done the trick. I just installed it and set it AC mode. I was kind of skeptical since I'm on a desktop. Saved me a lot of time looking for a file with a wrong default value set.

Re: [FINISHED] BunsenLabs Lithium Release Candidate iso available

@nobody, I turned around and uninstalled it since I'm on a desktop and the settings seemed to have held.

Until the next restart only, if you're unlucky Unless the controller/EC itself somehow remembers its configuration. TLP installs itself as a system service that runs at boot, or when reloading, and applies its settings. It doesn't persist these settings elsewhere.

You were right it comes back on reboot. I guess I'll have to install it again.
