No, not really.

I have an AMD card that functions perfectly under Linux thanks to the efforts of the (paid!) AMD developers who have open sourced their graphics stack (apart from the firmware) and contribute actively to Linux development.

In Windows I cannot use the open source amdgpu driver so I have to use AMDGPU-PRO instead and the performance is *terrible*, especially in respect of power consumption and temperature management. The blobby driver is shit.

Agree, Can you you explain why linux community hate nvidia? A am also love AMD too for free and opensource politics. But now many software and games developers is nvidia oriented.

Devuan aren't going to patch the kernel to fix a problem introduced by NVIDIA. That would be ridiculous.

Problem already fixed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx
Devuan or Devian devs must just add it to repo

Why? Devuan not supported any proprietary drivers!?

Because the source code is not available. The drivers are available from the non-free component of the repositories as a convenience for users but that component is not considered part of the official release.

and what? nvidia have linux driver that patched by community for new kernels. so its devuan or debian issue that it not apply patched diver in his repo.

Not really. Even if you are correct the proprietary drivers are not part of the official distribution.

So Devuan issue? I have error("driver not installed") after installing 340 driver from Devuan Ceres repo on 5.18. On 5.17 all installing and works good.

#340 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Ceres(5.18) legacy 340 nvidia driver not work » 2022-06-10 15:30:30

This trick is working

https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/ … a-patcher/

you need add to xorg.conf this lines to working

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

This is Debian issue

How to fix?

Ask NVIDIA to stop being such a bunch of twats. Or buy a graphics card from a manufacturer that doesn't hate the open source community.

This is not a Devuan problem, it is an NVIDIA problem.

Before 5.18 all works and working on Fedora 36 but not on Ceres. Community patching drivers for new kernels. But now on Ceres drivers not working, why?

On Ceres this driver even installing with error now. On 5.17 all works.
Patched driver for 5.18 installed ok, but not starting.

This is problem of Debian or Devuan?

#342 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Ceres(5.18) legacy 340 nvidia driver not work » 2022-06-09 23:45:26

Ok. For me all works normal until now. Both "unstable" Sid and Ceres, only this two deb based distros that bring me worked nvidia 340 drivers. But now something broken. How to fix?

So. My solution.

1. Install or upgrade to Devuan sid
2. go to recovery mode and install just

apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms

3. after removed nvidia.conf and "update-initramfs -u"  from

etc/modules-load.d
etc/modprobe.d

All works like a charm! Enjoy of Freedom! Glory and Long live to Devuan team!

How preset default volume in Audacious? Its always 100% after rebooting.

Pulseaudio volume is controlled by

freeartist@devuan:~$ sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa

# Set volume to 50% on boot
set-sink-volume 0 32768

But Audacious volume is reset to 100% after every boot
