Install / Reinstall

Uninstall according to the Asahi Wiki "partition cheatsheet"

https://leo3418.github.io/asahi-wiki-build/partitioning-cheatsheet/

Install with the provided script at

https://alx.sh%7Csh

Pay attention when you must reboot after step 1 into Step 2! It's the part where you hit "enter" for shut down and must wait 30 seconds and then keep the Power Button pressed down to restart with a Prompt about choosing what to boot.

(seeing the apple or a "macos recovery" splash at this stage is normal ; just wait for the terminal to pop up with instructions)

Local Policy Update takes time. Please wait.

Keep ignoring the patronizing apple about the security of your device. enter mac username and password as asked

To The Bug

I am trying to reproduce a bug with Ardour that kills the nice sound hack from the asahi people

1. Fresh install of 39 from "welcome start setup"

Note: keyboard, possibly language, should be first step here.

2. Enable 3rd party (I need the Codecs)

3. Reboot for good measure, accepting the "critical update" request from Gnome Software

Freshly booted, virgin, updated-------------------------------------

4. Check the wireplumber install with an eye on the arch wiki: - No pipewire-audio to be found - Pulseaudio is on pipewire-pulseaudio, installed by default - Same for pipewire-alsa - BUT not for jack, where jack-audio-connection-kit is the default

--> checking out VLC ; Settings now has 2 outputs, "internal" and "macbook" ; "internal" doesn't work. - VLC set output module to Automatic, Alsa or Pipewire, sound works

--> Install helvum for visualisation of patch: everything fine, "macbook pro j414" are 2 inputs (and 6 outputs lol)

So far so good, good sound. But we haven't touched Jack yet - not that I need Jack ; what I need is Ardour with an internal patch

--> Adding Audacity, default settings ; plays nice with VLC into Helvum
