here some first result for the few samples of this supposedly "200$ CPU"
#352 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » PulseAudio? Seriously!? » 2019-07-04 10:03:02
on debian wheezy i had issue with gnome3 as removing pulseaudio would sometimes remove also gnome-core or gnome-desktop ... that was a bit to learn that by removing such a "minor" package one could "break" a whole desktop environment.

the newer browser like firefox 52+ and chromium to my knowledge depend on pulseaudio for audio playback.

Hello ,
i have seen some benchmark for the new upcoming Ryzen 3000 CPU and it seems that with Kernel 5+ it is very fast.
On my Zen+ running kernel 4.1+ the single core is around 4.100 and multicore around 17-18.000
With Kernel 5.+ it is 4800+ and also Higher Multicore.
I am wondering if there is also an easy upgrade program for switching kernel for Debian/Devuan as on Ubuntu (UKUU application).
Also, are there any risks in installing (prematurely?) a newer kernel that is not yet used officially by the Distro?

Hello , i have purget the Devuan for now. But am going to reinstall. Will this problem /Beowulf grub-efi-amd64-signed
be solved within July hopefully?
On Ubuntu 18.04 the driver is recognized out-of-box withouth need to install any driver. So maybe there is a Kernel-Hardware-support for it that i have overlooked on Ascii.
#356 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Installing printer Ecotank - cannot install "LSB" » 2019-07-03 09:07:58
i did upgrade to beowulf by changing "ascii" to "beowulf" and afterwards "sudo apt-get upgrade" & "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". It installed a fair share of packages withouth error, but after reboot i was just greeted with grub console.
you can find the driver by inserting "ET-4750" in the search field

#359 Re: Installation » Installing Devuan ASCII Amd64 from DVD (full ISO) - no CD-ROM found » 2019-07-02 14:58:56
Thanks ,
also the Debian Buster failed, so i resorted to make an Usb-installer with Rufus (on Windows) or MK-USB (on Linux).
So now i am using Devuan Ascii, but i noticed some things:
1. The automatic partitionining (let Devuan choose partitioning for a m2.ssd automatically) would also change files on another NVME and the result was that Windows is no longer bootable? Could this be?
2. Updating from Devuan Ascii to Beowulf by simply changing in /etc/apt/sources.list all names "Ascii" to "Beowulf" would allow to install all packages normally with "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but after reboot one would be greeted by a simple grub-menu.

Hello ,
i tried to install the printerpackage for Debian Stretch on a freshly Devuan Ascii.
There is a problem because it depends on LSB.
lsb : Depends: lsb-desktop (>= 4.1+devuan2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
How could i overcome this?
thanks
#361 Re: Installation » Upgrade from Debian Wheezy to Devuan Jessie » 2019-07-02 14:51:56
If that's the aptitude equivalent of apt-get install task-desktop task-kde-desktop then it should work.
Thanks ,
i might try that out sometime later.
with a fresh install on Devuan Ascii (Graphical Install) the KDE would not install alongside XFCE. It did abort when choosing both options.
Only choosing default install would install normally.
#362 Re: Installation » Installing Devuan ASCII Amd64 from DVD (full ISO) - no CD-ROM found » 2019-07-01 17:15:09
Thanks ,
i tried the Netinstall AScII, also, it would load up, and after some time complain of no CD or similar.
Thats strange; the BD-ROM is quite new, and should not be the problem.
Gonna try Debian Buster now to see if there is indeed a problem with the DVD/BD Drive or more so with the installer.

Hello ,
i just tried to install Devuan Ascii from a burned DVD.
The Installer would load up normally and i Chose "Graphical install"
however, it would Abort shortly afterwards by complaining no CD/DVD Drive driver found or similar.
Just have a newer PC with a Bluray ROM Drive, should not be an issue, or what am i missing`?
Thanks
EDIT: i used a full installer.iso image with around 4,3GB.
#364 Re: Installation » Upgrade from Debian Wheezy to Devuan Jessie » 2019-07-01 16:45:12
KDE is available as an option -
Is the same command needed as with Debian?
aptitude install ~t^desktop$ ~t^kde-desktop$ ?
Thanks
#365 Re: Installation » Upgrade from Debian Wheezy to Devuan Jessie » 2019-07-01 15:46:21
Thanks, i am still considering to upgrade.
The Wheezy is Overall very satisfactorly Distribution, but sometimes i would Need newer packages like libc6 or other.
One Problem i noted with XFCE on Jessie is Problem with multimonitor as XFCE would not allow easily to extend the monitor onto two Monitors.
Has this issue been solved? What About switching to KDE?
Could i then from Jessie go straight to Beowulf or would i Need to upgrade to Ascii first?

Hello ,
i am currently running Debian Wheezy and am wondering if there is an upgrade path for me to switch to Devuan Jessie.
The current Desktop Environment is Gnome3 and i have Radeon Fglrx Driver installed (which i would deinstall prior due to suggested non-compatibility with Jessie).
Thanks
#367 Re: Installation » Second monitor not recognized (Ascii+XFCE4.12) » 2019-01-03 11:58:56
thank you very much for your answer Geoff,
this has been solved somehow by now;
atleast for xfce4.12 i think it is related to the radeon-driver; after installing the firmware-linux-nonfree as suggested by debianwiki for "atihowto" , the second monitor was correctly recognized and dektop extension was normally activated.
i don't know how to achieve this correctly for devuan jessie (i tried to install fglrx-drivers for r5 230 and the monitors got recognized, it was however not possible to extend the desktop as the "field" was limited to a restritcted pixelarea)

Hello ,
thank you very much for this great distribution that i like very much!
This is my first post, but i have used Devuan now for some month and found it very good + responsive.
the problem occurred with a new installation of Devuan Jessie.
during installation i had two monitors connected to my graphics card (r5 230 hd radeon) and after installation i found that the display was mirrored on both, with no option to extend the desktop.
after some shallow research i decided to upgrade as it seemed to me that xfce4<4.10 would not allow for desktop extension on second monitor.
after upgrade to devuan ascii the same problem persists,
only one monitor is being recognized, but the content is mirrored on both displays, with no option to extend display.
this made me wonder because i have had an devuan ascii instalation before, where it would normally extend the desktop to second monitor.
at that time, during installation , most probably i had only one monitor connected.
xrandr gives the following output
