i have upgraded the system on the laptop from Ascii to Beowulf, but that should not make a difference in recognizing the Camera;

the update process proceeded without any errors,

Thank you very much.

Hello ,

i would like to transfer the pictures from Camera Sony W830 to the laptop.

However, the PTP/MTP is not being recognized by Devuan 3.0 Beowulf and the Camera would not show up as an external storage (it should show from 30 to 32GB)

What am i doing wrong?

@head_on_a_Stick, thanks, good suggestion.

@blackhole, yes, probably unsupported, as i just installed devuan beowulf anew (with nividia 1650)
and it would not go into "X"; so i was greeted with terminal window instead;

installing

nvidia-driver

does not resolve, well at least it gives a graphical desktop, but blocks the terminal thereafter with "nvidia-persistenced".

if i need backports, i will try those.

EDIT: tried also installing the drivers from bakcports,
i am still getting "nvidia-persistenced" error.

please someone write a small guide on how to properly install nvidia-drivers, not just the legacy ones.

the graphics is rtx 1650

 lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1f82] (rev a1)

and debian wiki says

The proprietary "NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver" provides optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL and Vulkan applications through either Xorg or Wayland. It is a binary-only driver requiring a Linux kernel module for its use.
Multiple precompiled driver versions are available for Debian 10 "Buster":
Version 450.66 (supported devices)
Supports Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, and all current Turing GPUs. Supports Vulkan 1.2 and OpenGL 4.6.
Note that 450.66 is currently only available in buster-backports.

alright, now i have everything installed, and next problem comes up:

how can i properly switch to nvidia card?
i have two monitors setup, and triple boot /(devuan , windows 7, ubuntu 18.04).

after changing from amd to nvidia card, only devuan seems to boot.

now, i suppose, i need to just to deinstall the firmware-amd-graphics on devuan and install nvidia driver package?
but what to do on ubuntu, if it would not boot properly, and on windows?

do i need to put the other card back in and preopare already the machine with the nvidia drivers in place?

thank you.

EDIT: i understand that the nouveau driver functions also so as it is,
but i tried with display manager on xfce to change the monitor setup, and the result was that i could not longer access most part of the screens that seemed somhow frozen and could only be maneauvred by clicking in the leftover part, practically clicking blind over the place -

it functions however with

sudo hibernate --force

on another laptop i have also problem with hibernation. it is running on devuan beowulf

sudo hibernate
hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found.
Some modules failed to unload: nvidia
hibernate: Aborting suspend due to errors in ModulesUnloadBlacklist (use --force to override).

alright,

now i tried with
kernel 5.7 and newer linux-amd-graphics from backports (thanks rolfie)

Linux Office-PC 5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-07-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
firmware-amd-graphics is already the newest version (20200918-1~bpo10+1).

but the error remains

(0.00000) (Firmware Bug): (AMD-Vi) : IOAPIC(1) not in IVRS Table
          (0.00000) (AMD-Vi) : Disabling interrupt remapping

but it seems there is no major issues so i can live with that;
going to upgrade to Matisse soon, so maybe the error goes then away; the Bios is already quite the latest if i am not mistaken.

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.

Hi
Do you have firmware-amd-graphics installed ??
Have a nice day

yes,

firmware-amd-graphics is already the newest version (20190114-2).

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

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.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

there is additional line

AMD-VI: disabling interrupt remapping

----------------
i am using devuan beowulf

Linux Office-PC 4.19.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

graphics card seems recognized by "lspci"

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

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.

no, it was done with "sudo"

when evoked with root it gives

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

kapqa · Other Issues

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-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?)

kapqa · Installation

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

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 ....
