no, it was done with "sudo"

sudo echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo: write error: No space left on device

when evoked with root it gives

 echo disk > /sys/power/state
-bash: echo: write error: No such device

sorry, but i don§t remember if root or sudo, but i think was after "su -"

hello ,

i am also having problems with hibernate on lenovo t400 and devuan beowulf. if remember correctly it functioned on ascii.

suspend works (although not when closing laptop lid, but when evoked manually through dedicated keyboard combination or when typing "sudo pm-suspend").

hibernation however, fails.

sudo hibernate

does not go full hibernation (does not count the per-cents of progress) and from black screen resumes to active state with message

hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found.

sudo pm-hibernate

also seems to go hibernation mode, but then resumes to normal with no terminal output whatsoever.

EDIT: tried also other suggestion

 echo disk > /sys/power/state
-bash: echo: write error: No space left on device

The problem however re-presents itself inDevuan Beowulf 3.0

and now LSB is not present or seems not installable.

i tried to add Ascii to sources, but this mixed things up, and seems not a way forward.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 lsb : Depends: lsb-core (>= 4.1+devuan2)
       Depends: lsb-graphics (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: lsb-cxx (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: lsb-desktop (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: lsb-printing (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: lsb-languages (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any idea on how to install

LSB

on Devuan Beowulf for the official printer drivers from Epson, or is this package obsolete (hence also the official printer drivers, atleast as far a §Devuan is converned?)

it seems that the "mkusb" hosted has some issues here with devuan;

unfortunately the "mkusb-installer" is no longer available as it seems as it was the most easy way to install it on debian

you can find a newer version here

https://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/

where the "mkusb-min" and "mkusb-minp" failed to create a proper beowulf netinst64bit iso-stick (at least on my pc) , the newer "dus" version from phillw.net functioned.

@HevyDevy i have tried this guide today on Devuan Ascii,

and it was very useful as it finally seemed to install the Nvidia Driver properly on the Fujitsu Worksation Laptop with Nvidia Quadro FX770m Graphics.

I did also "nvidia-xconfig" and the install went fine, however the program then still complained of

14:27:58.935 [W]: Video: OpenCL subsystem isn't available, try to reinstall video drivers

therefore i tried to add "OPENCL" with

however, now the system would say that the graphics chip is not supported?
it is calling legacy-check for nvidia-390 although there is nvidia-legacy-340xx installed?

Yes it is.

Before posting, it is good practise to do a forum search to see if the question you need an answer to has already been posted.
For example, I'd say your question has been answered here.
Also, posting in two places asking for a solution regarding the same problem like you did here is not a good idea.
Both posts are related to the same problem ie: installation of nvidia drivers in Devuan ascii / Beowulf.
<---
I had an apparently unsolvable problem with the installation of nvidia drivers in Beowulf, specifically drivers for my twin Quadro FX 580 video cards which need to use the 340xx-legacy (340.108) proprietary drivers.
Do give the whole thread a good read, it is worthwhile information.
The solution came from HevyDevy (post #21) who after analysing the problem took the time to figure out how to install the drivers without the errors I was getting.
I followed his instructions and the problem was gone.
Cheers,
A.

Hello,

thank you very much for your help.

Yes, i was too eager and less thorough with posting this time;

it seems a long post, hopefully an easy solution resulted -
i would prefer the 304.xx driver (tend to think older driver is more stable for older cards) but on beowulf the 340.xx applies.

also, the wiki on debian wiki says after install of the necessary package to create a xorg with "nvidia-xconfig" , hope this is also achievable here.

will read later on and install anew with devuan.
does your walkthrough apply also to devuan ascii?

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

sorry, but i deleted already, however, i have a similar problem with devuan ascii,

after installing

apt install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver

everything seems fine, but after reboot ni the bootprocess there comes error like

modprobe_FATAL module Nvidia-legacy-304xx not found ...
modprobe /libkmod error ....

hello,

i installed several times in the last days devuan ascii and beowulf.

used "mkusb" to install to usb (look for "install to debian" version) and had no problems with netinstall64bit.
problem only with beowulf-live image 64 bit that gave errors during installation and after insatllation it booted the old linux (that was meant to be replaced) as if nothing was installed over it. i am not sure if i made an error but to me it seemed the live-installer was faulty.
maybe someone can confirm this?

Hello,

i would need to install probably

"nvidia-driver" instead of "nouveau" for getting proper opencl support ? on devuan.

it seems however that the nvidia-driver is installing, but not finding the proper space after reboot (error related to kernel)

my question:

is it possible to install nvidia-driver on devuan (ascii or beowulf) , especially for older cards?

thank you.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

the graphics card "Quadro 770m" should be supported by legacy driver for nvidia?

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD … cy_GPUs.29

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello ,

i tried to install a program on my laptop running beowulf 64bit,
and in the process i went to install first the package

nvidia-opencl-icd

and afterwards

nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

for nvidia quadro 770m.

however, on both packages i got errors,
like

dpkg: error processing package nvidia-persistenced (--configure):
 installed nvidia-persistenced package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nvidia-persistenced

afterwards i de-installed the nvidia-opencl-icd, and the graphics went back to normal (after process of installing the opencl package the resolution got downsized from 1920x1200 to 1280x800), however the error with

nvidia-persistenced

still remains.

Thank you very much Rolfie,

this has been solved!

firmware-linux

was missing, the one-liner filled it up.

Now the program starts!

Hello ,

today i tried to install this software Svp4linux on devuan beowulf on pc with amd a10 apu (bristol ridge).

it seems the APU is not very good supported on Debian / Devuan, but maybe i just made an error during installation.

however, the program would not start and i get the following error

21:09:19.633 [I]: OS: Linux 4.19.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) x86_64

21:09:19.679 [I]: Memory:  15026  MB total,  14476 MB free

i have installed the firmware-amd-graphics and also firmware-xorg-video-ati or similar , as this was done during installation (went from ascii to beowulf).

If anyone know an help, please post.

thank you very much.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

wow, thank you for your answers and help tips!

i have now installed beowulf on it and i am really impressed on how fast the system is!
small ssd is doing also some magic here.#

only the graphics maybe could be a bit better - i was shortly testing with debian stretch (debian 9) and with the legacy-nvidia driver it seems there is a bit better fps in unigine haven benchmark - maybe double framerate, not fully; not that i am so happy with closed-source drivers, but was wondering wat the workstation graphics can still give.

benchmark on devuan is low with nouveau but system is very stable and responsive!

Thank you all for making it posible @Devuan.

Hello ,

i have an older workstation laptop with dualcore2duo cpu and NVIDIA Quadro FX 770 m.

Was thinking of installing Debian Wheezy on it, because it supports the Quadro FX 770m, but it would be nice to have a newer OS to support it.

Could i install Devuan and still make good use of the Quadro FX 770m? Are there any drivers for it on Devuan?

Thank you very much.

kapqa · Other Issues

thanks,

this has been solved by removing

libgnutls-deb0-28

and reinstalling

curl git

kapqa · Other Issues

hello ,

i had upgraded the laptop and now on ascii and beowulf there is error with git.

it would complain of missing gnutls-handshake.

downgrading to libcurl3-gnutls from jessie resolves, but opens up other issues.

what can i do to resolve this issue?

error is like

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: Public key signature verification has failed.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

Thank you,

problem has been solved by upgrading to Ascii.
The energy consumption on battery seems quite similar, so my previous observation might have been wrong.

Suspend on Devuan Jessie XFCE4 did not work on the T400 when closing the laptop-lid, but only when evoking suspension through the power button or by typing "pm-suspend" in terminal.

On Devuan Ascii however, the suspension also functions when closing the laptop-lid.
