Ok, thanks! Cleanup was indeed needed, all those files took almost 2 GB of disk space!

Please try to set in vlc's Video settings "Output" to "X11 video output (XBC)"
Thank you Roland for your advice.

After my tests with VCL (I only made VCL work with a DVD!), I no longer have sound. When I check the audio settings, I see that my sound card is no longer recognized :cry: Even a restart does not solve the problem.

Did you update to the RC5 of kernel 5.15?

Yes, I am on the RC5. This is a phenomenon that first appeared after using pipe-viewer. I reinstalled a backup ( ;) )and in fact find that it is rather the execution of VLC which causes this fault on my sound card.

I ordered a Radeon HD 6970 card. The vendor is not sure if it is still operational. We will see...

You can image your USB stick with Void with the following commands (Example for sdb):
  1. Code: Select all

    dd if=void-live-powerpc-20211007.img of=/dev/sdb
    Output:

    Code: Select all

    15695871+0 records in
    15695871+0 records out
    8036285952 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 2364.19 s, 3.4 MB/s
    
  2. Code: Select all

    e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
Hi, Christian, I'm trying again, with the USB stick route this time rather than straight to disk. I copied to an empty /dev/sdc and got the same results you show, but when I came to the e2fsck thing I guessed I should add a "2" as you did and got "No such file or directory ..." I rebooted the computer anyway and tried to boot void but ls usc 0:1 got me a "no such thing available" type of message.

Back into fienix, GParted gives me

Code: Select all

/dev/sdc1 (key) fat16   /media/fie...  VOID_BOOT  230-.00 MiB  (Used) 146.25 MiB
/dev/sdc2 (key)  ext4   /media/fie...  void          7.26 GiB  (Used)   5.73 GiB
unallocated (size) 22.33 GiB
Now for some reason e2fsck sort of works, at least it finds the stick:

Code: Select all

root@Fienix:~# e2fsck -f /dev/sdc2
e2fsck 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020)
/dev/sdc2 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
You can use GParted for enlarging the partition and resizing the root file system.
Could that be what I'm doing wrong? How big should I make those things?

"ls usc 0:1" is wrong. Please try "ls usb 0:1".

You have to "umount" the device with "umount /dev/sdc2" before you can check the file system.

"ls usc 0:1" is wrong. Please try "ls usb 0:1".

Another sign that I'm really losing it! I confused the "b" of usb with that of sdb. My void is on /dev/sdc. :oops:

But ls usb 0:1 lists the contents of /dev/sdb1. So I suspect the fatload usb 0:1 commands aren't going to work.
GParted shows /dev/sdc fine, and I can open void and VOID_BOOT from fienix.

BTW, I was a little concerned about the boot command in your list that fatloads cyrus_p5040.dtb. I thought that isn't supposed to work in my computer. But I see that VOID_BOOT includes the 5020 version. Should I use that instead, if I ever figure out how to address it?
