By screenshot, I see you are already registered with Discord. You will have to recover your password or start with a different email address.

doesn't work, I sent an email to them to delete my account completely.  I made a mistake on my email info, will see what happens.

This is our new forum.

I cannot enter the DIscord since I get an error when I try to "claim my account"!!, let's move the forum out of there back to here!

As for the crappy Discord thing. It totally sucks. I just now tried to login. I was again hit with a double verification line of crap. First, I was told to check my email as there would be a link to verify. I checked and there was. I clicked the link and was presented with ANOTHER verification that was to be a text message to the phone number I was to enter. Let me say this. If I have to have a damned cell phone to verify my identity for a forum about a Linux distribution FOR A DAMNED COMPUTER, I'm out. Period. I know I'm not the only person that feels the same as I do. I am currently involved in a discussion about this very thing on a REAL Linux forum. The majority of guys seem to agree with me. There is absolutely NO SENSE in a computer distro's forum requiring a phone for verification.

So, either fix the problem, or move the forum back here where it should be. Using a stupid social media site for a distro forum makes absolutely NO sense. It's crap like this that keeps a distro that is already on life support from taking on new life. If you truly care about getting WattOS back to where it once was, start acting like it.

I had the same experience, I vote for moving the forum back!!

General Discussion / is this the right place for the wattOS related?
« on: June 02, 2023, 10:41:01 PM »
Most of posts seems rather old, I just installed on my 12 year old fanless minicomputer, works better than peppermint and puppylinux.  I am impressed.  I heard discord also has a forum but when I searched for wattOS, nothing resembling linux...  Is this the right forum for questions and discussion?? :o

I have had this problem in the past, if you have not fixed it yet, I'll break out a laptop and plug it into an HDMI monitor and see if I can replicate and give you the steps. :) - Thanks for being patient.

thanks, got it working, appreciate the followup.

wattOS R10 / no sound on microWatt R10, help
« on: March 17, 2017, 12:50:17 PM »
I have following:

apa@i3-Main:/proc/asound$ cat cards

                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7f10000 irq 30

                      USB Device 0x46d:0x825 at usb-0000:00:14.0-2, high speed

when I change the card on alsamixer to 1, I only get control for s/pdif, no "master" or "PCM" etc.

on my alsa-base.conf is below

How do I set to the correct card and have the volume adjuster?

wattOS R10 / microWatt-R10, can volume adjust without a mouse?
« on: March 14, 2017, 06:37:00 PM »
like the keyboard centric format in microwatt, is there a way to adjust volume without use of the mouse?.  Only way I can figure out is to launch alsamixer in the terminal, is there an easy way?
