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

still remains.

Hello ,

today i tried to install this software Svp4linux on devuan beowulf on pc with amd a10 apu (bristol ridge).

it seems the APU is not very good supported on Debian / Devuan, but maybe i just made an error during installation.

however, the program would not start and i get the following error

21:09:19.633 [I]: OS: Linux 4.19.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) x86_64

21:09:19.679 [I]: Memory:  15026  MB total,  14476 MB free

i have installed the firmware-amd-graphics and also firmware-xorg-video-ati or similar , as this was done during installation (went from ascii to beowulf).

If anyone know an help, please post.

thank you very much.

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.

hello ,

i had upgraded the laptop and now on ascii and beowulf there is error with git.

it would complain of missing gnutls-handshake.

downgrading to libcurl3-gnutls from jessie resolves, but opens up other issues.

what can i do to resolve this issue?

error is like

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: Public key signature verification has failed.

Hello ,

on a Thinkpad T400 i installed Devuan Asciii and everything seemed to function just fine (Suspend, Trackpad etc)
however, upon launching *powertop* i noticed that on Battery there was a discharge around 20W which seemed way to high to me (for a Laptop with internal graphics only on a Centrino Duo CPU (P8400 or P8600).

Therefore i tried with with Devuan Jessie and interesting, the powertop now reports around 12W on reduced brightness which seems OK to me.

So i think on this laptop Devuan Jessie is a good solution;

Trackpad can be manually enabled with the help of Debian Wiki

https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia … Trackpoint

however, i noticed that the *Suspend* does not work out of the box, and even when i change the settings in XFCE (which were not setted to *suspend* upon closing lid), nothing happens.

Does someone know of a package i might miss to get this functionality back?

thank you very much.

Hello,

i have a small SingleBoardComputer Rock64 that i am trying to configure as a Print Server with Ubuntu 18.04 and CUPS for my Epson Et-4750.

The Printer is configured in CUPS @Rock64 where it is connected physically via USB cable.

The printer however is not shown in Devuan in CUPS at his location @Rock64.
It is recognized as Network printer (generically) because it is connected via Network Cable to the Router, but not specifically the Rock64 Configuration is shown.
