you can use older version of rufus on XP to create the USB,
but it would probably complain that linux uses newer bootfile or something and tries to download it and could fail doing that.

best bet on older systems is to burn ISO to CD/DVD and boot from that, just my experience.
<just had mayor problems booting off Ventoy on older AMD II system. booting of DVD no problemo.

on Linux normally i use mkusb to create bootable linux USB, found it more realiable than Unetbootin

thank you, i was able to install the OpenCL part of driver, in daedalus, it seem function;

however, the application, most probably need the vulkan part of amdgpu, and those seem not function with the opensource driver as exepected.

trying to install amd radeon driver from amd website fails on devuan (i tried with the package of ubuntu 24.04)

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics -y --vulkan=pro --opencl=rocr --accept-eula

thank you, it function on excalibur, very pleased!

Hello ,
i have now a newer System with Graphics card RX 7000 series.

Is there  asolution to install OpenCL for Devuan and Amdgpu already?
On Ubuntu it would function, but would much prefer using Devuan.
Thanks.

thank you,

tired today on a Ubuntu 20.04 laptop,
which would be ready to connect.

somaybe the Devuan is missing some packages?

hello EDX-0 , what is elogind and do i need to install it/configure it if i want to use Hibernate on Devuan? issue is also, that the automatic installer makes it so that hibernate does not function out of the box, atleast with Ubuntu, which i use on most of laptops nowaday.

very complicated, hibernate is useful, could satisfy more laptops i suppose than reunning out of battery quick.

will see if can implant it later on, but seems difficult.
the automatic installer could ask if one wants this feature, which is especially useful on laptops'?

Hello Ralph,

thank you for the suggestion,

what i ended up doing is uninstalling "everything" that was proposed, but found out that tasksel would everytime re-install pulseaudio and remove everytime every desktop flavour chosen with all the corresponding packages if afterwards again chosen to remove pulseaudio.

so i then installed xfce4 manually afterwards without tasksel command, but this time added

like in

sudo apt-get install xfce4 pulseaudio- xfce4-goodies

which then achieved the desired to stop installing the pulseaudio and doing so without breaking the desktop.

Audio still could be better, but the year is long, so lets hope well.

hello ,

i have this issue "persistenced" on upgrade from ascii to beowulf with FX Quadro 770m<
the solution from "StopAI" worked perfectly to get me back into Desktop with Graphics Accelerations.

what i did>

1. uninstall official Nvidia/driver 340.108 in recovery.
2. install as suggested "sudo apt install --no-install-recommends nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver"
3. reboot, voil'a

now it is understanding that the next step, if wanted to upgrade further, would be to jump from Beowulf stright to Ceres, or uninstall again, and regain X without Nvidia, and go from there to upgrade path ZChimaera Daedalus Ceresa.

EDIT> i tried first with the official driver package from Nvidia, since this worked in the previous iterations of Debian/Devuan, but would no longer function on Devuan 3.0 for some reason or another.

thank you,

i resorted to full install of chimaera, and now the ethernet Network is back in Network Icon,
also ATI acceleration works, which i did not fully expect, very nice!

now the only issue is that suspend is no longer active when closing lid as the screensaver seem somehow prevent it;

if i may, please have a look.

otherwise,all suspend function seem present, also took over the swapfile 1,5x times the ram (T60 can only utilise around 3GB of Ram due to 32bit limitation of chipset), so hibernation should function also fine

rolfie i cannot help to think that after suspend the wired is gone; before, when it was gone i could hit "connect" and it would re-establish ethernet connection; now, i dont find any such connect button any longer, also the icon in taskbar is only showing "Wi-Fi Networks" > (greyed out) > "WiFi is disabled" > (one below) "VPN Connections" ;

no wired , but again, after reboot the internet is functioning through Ethernet cable;
