I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Hello everyone.
I just registered on the forum.
I have been using Linux for a few years, I use various distros but Bunsenlabs is one of the first and favorites for me.
Mainly because I really like Openbox.

I'm looking for Dolphin-emu in the repos but I can't find it.
It seems there is one on Debian, so maybe I don't have all the repositories active?
PCSX2 I find it.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Hi oxy-hydrogen-flame, welcome to the BL community!

There is a dolphin-emu in the Debian buster (and bookworm) repositories:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/dolphin-emu

If you can't find it, please post the output of:

inxi --repos

I can't post the output you asked for:

The following errors need to be corrected before the message can be posted:

Well, I'll edit it so they aren't links:

           No active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-bullseye-backports.list
--------------------------------


Maybe I didn't fully understand how repos work but for me Buster corresponds to Lithium and Bullseye to Berryllium.
When I did the version upgrade I deleted the Buster repos.

If I reactivate the Buster repo, won't I risk messing up the system?

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Your repositories look correct, but you're right - Beryllium is based on Debian Bullseye, and there is no dolphin-emu package in Debian Bullseye, for some reason.

You're also right that using the Buster repositories might mess up your system - a better idea would be to upgrade to Debian Bookworm and BunsenLabs Boron.

There is a guide to upgrading from Lithium to Beryllium here:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8295
It should also work for Beryllium to Boron if you substitute all the references:
lithium > beryllium
beryllium > boron
buster > bullseye
bullseye > bookworm

This might help too:

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Sorry I didn't reply sooner johnraff, there was a celebration here.

This guide:
xxxx://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8295
I know it and used it to switch to Beryllium many months ago.

So will Boron be the new release?
I understand that it is still in the preparation phase. Alpha? Beta?

I prefer to wait until it's ready and then move on, one of the reasons I like Bunsenlabs is that it's based on old stable.
If it's just a matter of waiting there's no problem, let's hope Debian continues to make Dolphin-emu available in the future.

Thanks for the replies johnraff! Are you by any chance one of the Bunsenlabs developers?
I hope you will continue to maintain it. Installing and configuring Openbox on Debian is not difficult, but how you guys set it up is beyond me at the moment.

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

@oxy, hi! Boron is at Release Candidate level. It's ready to use, based on Debian bookworm (current stable), we're just tying up a few loose ends...

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 98#p130898

@johgnraff is the sole developer atm, I'm just doing some theming and testing. Testing is also being done by our forum members.

The RC is really good, hope you can check it out.


I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

"sole developer" is stretching it a bit, but I'm doing most of the coding donkey-work atm.
@hhh also does a lot of work, not only with theming and on the forum but also general help with discussing project direction and the like. The other developers are mostly busy with outside stuff but also contribute.

As @hhh says, the Release Candidate is now pretty much the same as what the final release will be (soon).
The main difference will be that we'll put out some release notes, the web site home page will be updated, and iso downloads will be from our own server, not Sourceforge.

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Hi hhh, thanks for the information.

I think I'll wait to try Boron, because right now I'm having some issues with the Nvidia drivers and I'm busy with that.
I opened a discussion about it on a forum that speaks my language, I'm Italian.

I take it for granted that Bunsenlabs is old stable Debian.
But since I'm talking to the two main developers, I'm asking you: how exactly does Bunsenlabs differ from the old stable Debian?

Am I wrong if I say that Bunsenlabs is Debian with an optimized version of Openbox pre-installed?

Does ATM stand for "automated teller machine" or is it something different?

Is Channard Institute an asylum in the movie Hellraiser?

johnraff but are you really Japanese? I don't know why but I was convinced that the Bunsenlabs developers were German.

I really like k-pop girls. I know j-pop exists too but so far I haven't found a band I like.
But Japanese girls look like Korean girls and one of the Aespa is Japanese.

I grew up watching Japanese anime, now I like them less than I used to, but I really like listening to the original voices, even from films.
I don't think I could ever learn Japanese, I can't even learn English!
Luckily there is Google.

Alright, it's the end of the year, when do you think Boron will be official?

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

I'll answer the parts I can. Your English is excellent.

You're not wrong in your description of BunsenLabs.

Our "official" release is still Beryllium, which was based on Debian old stable (bullseye).

BL Boron is based on Debian current stable 12.4 (bookworm).

ATM does stand for "automated teller machine", but I was using it to mean "at the moment". wink

The Channard Institute is in Hellbound: Hellraiser II. It was founded and run by the evil Dr. Phillip Channard. You didn't ask, but Tiffany was one of his patients who, it is revealed, was severely traumatized by the abduction and implied murder of her mother by the doctor. She is mute for most of the film.

John is from England, but has lived in Japan for a long time.

As @hhh said, your English is fine, and much better than my Italian!

Nvidia drivers cause many people trouble. It's possible (but not guaranteed) that the situation would be better with Debian Bookworm.

I take it for granted that Bunsenlabs is old stable Debian.

At the moment, that's true, but when Boron is released BL will be based on Debian stable, not oldstable. To be based on Debian Stable is always our goal, but preparing new BL releases takes longer than we'd like.

But since I'm talking to the two main developers, I'm asking you: how exactly does Bunsenlabs differ from the old stable Debian?
Am I wrong if I say that Bunsenlabs is Debian with an optimized version of Openbox pre-installed?

That's not in fact the case. Openbox in BunsenLabs is exactly the same as that in Debian. We use the same package repositories as Debian, but add an extra BunsenLabs repository to hold some extra packages that we supply.

Very occasionally we supply a package that is different from the same one in Debian, but we avoid that as much as possible for security reasons. The only two such cases atm are xfce4-power-manager, which we have patched to fix an issue with icons in tint2, and dillo, which has been improved in a project on GitHub, so we supply that version instead of Debian's.

What makes BL different from plain Debian is that we provide a lot of extra configuration, images, icons, themes and utilities with the aim of making it useful and nice-looking right away. Many people would be able to use it just as it is to do their work. Another aim is that it should be easy to modify BL the way you want.

Does ATM stand for "automated teller machine" or is it something different?

I also use atm a lot, to mean "at the moment", along with btw = "by the way", BL = "BunsenLabs", but there are many such abbreviations which people sometimes use. Usually a web search will find the meaning.

...I was convinced that the Bunsenlabs developers were German.

In fact, our web server is located in Germany.

...when do you think Boron will be official?

Soon!

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Ha ha ha, maybe! It's not "my English" it's Google translator's.
I write everything in Italian and then pass it on to the translator, but it seems to work well.
If I were to write directly I don't know how much you would understand and in any case you would have a good laugh, guaranteed.

What I didn't understand is why, where I have the writing "New Member", you hhh have the writing "Tiffany".
So the photo is of the girl from the movie? But you are a male right?

I like horror but not too violent horror. I recently saw the movie "The Witch" and "Gretel & Hansel" that's the kind of horror for me.

Well, in fact "johnraff" doesn't sound very Japanese. But I don't know if he's happy with you giving me all this information.
Maybe it's not a problem, but it's a fact that he didn't say much about himself, you said everything.

Johnraff, Nvidia drivers cause problems for a lot of people, you say? This is not good news.
Was I better off taking AMD? 

So the packages that differentiate Bunsenlabs from Debian are all additional, as I understand it. Is there a searchable list of these packages?
Maybe it would be enough to use the right apt commands but I don't have much experience.

Surely if one wants to have Debian with Openbox "out of the box", Bunsenlabs is the solution. You didn't say it exactly like that Johnraff, but I think part of your point was alluding to that. Not only this of course.

English speakers always use a lot of abbreviations, once you understand them it's fine, but if they don't explain them to you, it's sometimes difficult to get there.
And then we also need to remember them.

So I was right that Bunsenlabs has to do with Germany. Maybe I had read it somewhere.

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

You can change your "title" to something other than "New Member". At the top of any forum page is a horizontal menu, click "Profile". On the next page, click "Personal" in the left menu. You can add more personalization by clicking "Personality".

You might need to have posted a certain number of times to do that, I can't remember.

Translation software seems to have improved a lot recently. On Firefox I've been using an addon called TWP - Translate Web Pages which has been working well for me. But check the privacy implications.

I would have said the same, but @hhh replied first. No problem. smile

Johnraff, Nvidia drivers cause problems for a lot of people, you say? This is not good news.
Was I better off taking AMD?

Some years ago I had an Nvidia graphics card, and I installed the proprietary Nvidia driver, which worked well. Since then I have had computers with Intel graphics, so haven't studied Nvidia at all. Other people will be able to give you better answers, but I understand that the built-in "nouveau" drivers now work better, so it might not be necessary to get anything from Nvidia.
See this too: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comment … ed_in_the/

So the packages that differentiate Bunsenlabs from Debian are all additional, as I understand it. Is there a searchable list of these packages?

The BunsenLabs packages are all hosted - in source form - on GitHub here: https://github.com/BunsenLabs
There are a lot of them, and not all are in current use. Here is a list of the BL packages currently used in Beryllium:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ne … /pkgs-recs
and the Debian packages:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ne … kgs-norecs

Surely if one wants to have Debian with Openbox "out of the box", Bunsenlabs is the solution.

It's one solution - there are others. smile

Re: I can't find Dolphin-emu in the repos

Ok, hhh, "New Member" seems appropriate for now.
So you're a girl, aren't you? Do not be shy.

Johnraff, it's always helpful to know the existence of anything. For now, Google Translate works fine for me. The forums are not "real time" and therefore there is plenty of time to translate texts.

I'm someone who always uses very old computers. I bought this GeForce GT 1030, thinking I had something very high-performance, before I used an 8500 GT.
The truth is that when I tested it with the Nouveau drivers I found very similar performance, which is why I tried switching to proprietary drivers.
I hope you're not right, otherwise I wasted my money.
But you don't seem like the type to like video games, so I still have hope.

I'll take a look at https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ne … /pkgs-recs

As far as I know, "CrunchBang++" and "CrunchBang-Monara" existed but they should be extinct now.

Correct about video games, in fact. roll
Yes, if you want to get the best performance from your Nvidia card then you might have to use the proprietary driver. Sorry I can't help any more than that.

You can use quote tags to display another user's words, like:
