Wow, thank you. I didn't realize there was another answer. Sorry for late reply. I will try asap.

Right now I'm fiddling around with Trinity, my favorite Desktop-Environment. Unfortunately it's very buggy and there is no forum, no support or anything alike. So I'm on my own, finding out which faulty file is messing-up the whole config. I could delete the .trinity-folder to let it re-create automatically. Unfortunately, I did this before and after copying back some backup-files it happened again: Nothin' is working. There is not even an output in the standard log-files...

I didn't change anything but suddenly it just works. I booted up the pc and tried installing the firmwares again...and mystically download  was possible this time.

I installed firmware-linux-nonfree, firmware-amd-graphics and firmware-realtek (for wireless !), as well as amd64-microcode (just to be on the safe side). Everything works now: Graphics, wireless,...everything.

Thank you anyway for answer! It just sucks when you freshly set-up a system and nothing seems to work oob...

It's offtopic here but firefox-esr is not running. Its newest version 115 and it's just crashing. Suggestions? It's freshly installed and the output reads something like:

Gtk-ERROR **: 17:53:09.229: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 4541

Hi there,

I just installed newest devuan daedalus on my old netbook and have problems because wifi AND graphics are not running properly. The reason are the missing non-free-firmware-packages.

I need

firmware-linux-nonfree

and

firmware-amd-graphics

Regarding to some web-search, both packages are moved or renamed which was not properly documented. So my question is how do I install these packages?

I already changed my /etc/apt/sources.list to read:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

...but without success. I can't install the urgently needed packages. Somebody please help.
