No. I couldn't make it work.  It's to complicated for me to get it done.

I'm figuring out now how to set the amd graphic adapter as default instead of the Intel. I guess that'll fix davincy not starting.

Guys, to finish this topic.

I stumbled upon https://www.baeldung.com/linux/monitor- … ess-change

sudo apt-get install brightnessctl
$ brightnessctl
Device 'intel_backlight' of class 'backlight':
	Current brightness: 18 (2%)
	Max brightness: 937
$ brightnessctl -d "intel_backlight" set 100%
Updated device 'intel_backlight':
Device 'intel_backlight' of class 'backlight':
	Current brightness: 937 (100%)
	Max brightness: 937

This overrides the Brightness and gamma applet (brightness-and-gamma-applet@cardsurf) maximum and the slider of that applet is usable as normal with the max set by brightnessctl

In bios i can only choose hybrid graphics enabled. The hp driver manual says to select that so i guess that makes the intel 5500 is the default

Too bad Davinci Resolve still gives me an error with the new driver: "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode. Please review the GPU drivers and GPU
configuration under preferences."

this was the initramfs

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-13-amd64
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-10-amd64

and

Thanks. I'm glad you help me out!

Yah it's Daelus.

There are two Grapiccards

But what's this?

sudo update-initramfs –u -k all

 -k version	Specify kernel version or 'all'
 -c		Create a new initramfs
 -u		Update an existing initramfs
 -d		Remove an existing initramfs
 -b directory	Set alternate boot directory
 -v		Be verbose

See update-initramfs(8) for further details.

Guys,

I'm trying to install the official graphics driver for my hp probook 470 g2.

The FN keys don't work so the screen was blinding me. Only later i stumbled uppon "brightness and gamma applet". That will do the job just fine for me.

But after first trying to install the official amd drivers, the screen is so dark i can see it but realy have to do my best, even at nighttime it's not plessant.

Now i'm stuck with a dark screen and unable to install the official drivers from hp.

Does anyone know how to handle that error message?

Thanks in advance.

Tanks ya all

I didn't knew tasksel existed. That's easy stuff! deselect all other then cinnamon, all will be removed. Select cinnamon, cinamon will be installed (again)

But.. all other then cinnamon are still there and cinnamon is not the default when i check with F1.

Thanks

Guys,

If i search internet people sent me to /usr/share/xsession but that's not the case in devuan i presume. File doesn't exists it says.

I'd like to set cinnamon as my default desktop

How is setting a default desktop done in devuan?

The script didn't work.

Thats oke. I ended up reinstalling devuan to get cinnamon in the first place

Cinamon has a theme browser with windows availible. So it's all good now.

The only thing i'm missing are the function keys of my sony laptop. Can't adjust the brightness... That's almost making me switch back.... :-) but i like to figure it out. Loving devuan

Lots of people seem to think that if they make it look the same, it will act the same.......wrong! big_smile

Well,  it started in 1998 with only 1 PC so for configuring my network card i needed internet. For more information.  Then in 2008 i gave it another try,  then i needed extra packages to show a volume icon in the system tray.

Now since 2 years I'm running Linux fx and i could do anything i need.

But then some guys said: you need to run devuan,  it's more secure. I thought,  okey.... but with the desktop I'm back in the stone age.

Thanks for looking in.

I made a desktop choice at installation. That i remember. Which one, i don't :-)

I'm gonna check it out, i'll let you know if it worked for further generations who stumble upon this post.
