I reverted back to Devuan Jessie, and there the Wifi + Bluetooth are recognized and installed out of the box (with WIFI hardware-switch set ON).

Probably never saw so many connections WIFI available on my computer at once; a bit scary.

The problem now is with Bluetooth as i am trying to access my MacMiniServer via NAP (Network Access Point - PAN)

on Gnome this function is available and functions well, albeit slow with the Bluetooth 2.1 card (surfing with around 100kb/s)

to achieve this i am trying to install all available packages as i did on gnome, but it would complain

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-bluetooth : Depends: libpam-systemd but it is not installable
                   Recommends: gnome-control-center but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

any idea on how to overcome this=?

Thanks

I tried to do this today (have several computer running Debian Wheezy 64Bit or Powerpc) with a quite fresh installation on Gnome3 + plus some packages installed

The error when going directly from Wheezy to Devuan Jessie would be

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

                   Depends: obexd-client but it is not going to be installed

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

So it seems more intelligent to update to Debian Jessie first, or to remove Gnome3 altogether and then upgrade directly to Devuan Jessie (and skipping Debian Jessie altogether)?

I did use this guide here, and with Ubuntu 18.04 could get it to activate, however, it would also need some vulkan kit

https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/tec … o-vce.html

according to AMD release notes for AMDGPU_Pro Driver (19.30)

To use the Vulkan driver in this stack, Vulkan SDK version v1.1.109.0 needs to be installed. The SDK can be downloaded from: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home

the error message upon booting goes similar like this

oh , silly me, this was solved , i just had forgotten to click on "Network" in Thunar, and then the Librelec Samba Share would become visible.

probably this hybridizaion occured because i did choose "lightdm" as displaymanager instead of "sddm" - i did not know that sddm is the one favored by kde. it would be good if upon presented with the option of choosing a displaymanager there would be shown a bit more info on the available options.

i was able to solve bis problem by enabling the "contrib" and "non-free" repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and then updating the package list with "sudo apt-get update"

afterwards i installed with this line from the debian atihowto (under point 4.)

the appropriate packages; now the second monitor is active!

thanks!
