i had used fglrx driver before and also use the proprietary driver on ubuntu as i found it more responsive than the opensource,
also some features enable to use AMD VCE encoding in Handbrake (which is similare to quicksync and nvidia enc)
which opensource don't yet enable.

rolfie

thanks rolfie,

but how could i do that?

there is no "ukuu" on devuan?
don't find any mentioning of beowulf backports?

how to easily upgrade the kernel then?

Read Altoid's link, it has the answer you need. Here is a more direct version: https://superuser.com/questions/1052023 … ivrs-table

hello,

i did use the link from rolfie's last post here

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3358

and did  the suggested 

sudo apt install git
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cd linux-firmware/
sudo cp -va amdgpu/ /lib/firmware/
sudo update-initramfs -u
reboot

but things would remain the same.

Hello Altoid,

thanks for your replay,
no, it is no laptop, just an non-OEM-desktop with an AM4 Motherboard (lowcost) and A10-9700 APU.

The system is functioning, but the graphics i thought would be more responsive -
infact, there are no issues besides one with SVP4Linux, but this could well be related to an older Python version, but i suspect also the Open Source AMD Driver for the poor performance -
actually the same error comes up in Ubuntu 18.04, even with the AMD Graphics Pro Driver Stack installed for the RX550,

so most probably the error [Firmware BUG] is not related to the Graphics card, but to the APU itself?
i read somewhere that the Bristol Ridge is somehow unsupoorted, on Linux, as it is on Windows 8.1 (definitely unsupported)

it is functioning, yes, but the error message made me wonder if there is something going wrong here with the graphics.

Hello,

i upgraded my computer from internal graphics by adding a Graphics Card AMD RX 550.

Now when i start the boot process shows somehting like

Firmware Bug: AMD-VI: IOAPIC(1) not in IVRS Table

is there something wrong?
i had installed the AMD GRaphics Firmware already i believe.

thank you.

I doubt if the automatic configuration of the partitioning would have allowed for your wish to use swap for hibernation.

sorry, but i don't understand,
i was under the impression that the ratio on debian/ubuntu for automatic partitioning > swapfile size is around 1:1.5 (memorysize:swapfile) .. it should hence be around 4.5 GB with 3GB RAM.

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

#338 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Installing printer Ecotank - cannot install "LSB" » 2020-10-04 19:12:30

kapqa

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-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?)

#339 Re: Installation » Problem with *.iso file » 2020-10-01 20:58:37

kapqa

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
