Hi there,

Found Alpine linux through

So far it has been amazing.

But I am in need of help in regards to..

Running the Tor browser with the below link.

https://tb-manual.torproject.org/installation/

Unable to run start-tor-browser.desktop after chmod +x
start-tor-browser.desktop

As well, setting up sound on my laptop.

Unable to get sound working.

Can anyone assist?

the tor browser binaries are linked against glibc and won't work, and it
doesn't build on musl (afaik). it does work in flatpak, though, via

Hi Troy,

where exactly are you stuck in the audio setup? It would help if you 
mentioned what you have done so far and what does not work.

Best,

@alice,

Thank you for your help with flatpak, everything is good now I am able to
run the tor browser :)

@edin (unicorn),

Nice tutorials > https://regrow.earth/ :)

I followed the steps below.

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/PipeWire

audio:x:18:fischer,root,pulse
rtkit:x:110:rtkit,fischer
pulse-access:x:108:
pulse:x:109:pulse

doas apk add dbus dbus-openrc
doas rc-service dbus start
doas rc-update add dbus default

doas apk add pipewire wireplumber rtkit

doas apk add pipewire-alsa
ALSA support works out of the box if you have the pipewire-alsa package.
You may need the snd_seq kernel module.

doas aplay -l

doas cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec

doas apk add pavucontrol


https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/ALSA

doas apk add alsa-utils alsa-utils-doc alsa-lib alsaconf alsa-ucm-conf
pavucontrol

doas addgroup $USER audio
doas addgroup root audio

doas alsamixer
cannot open mixer: Host is down

doas rc-service alsa start
doas rc-update add alsa

/usr/bin/pavucontrol

Currently opening the icon, it says "Establishing connection to Pulseaudio,
please wait..."

Hi all,

Sound has been resolved by removing all packages from
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/PipeWire

Instead configured sound with https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/ALSA
