Hello ,

i noticed that although running the *latest* Devuan Beowulf the following video would not play in Firefox 68.6.0esr

https://www.rt.com/news/479938-horde-lo … di-arabia/

When i click on the second video
the message would appear *The media could not be played.

The same video would play fine however in Seamonkey Browser.

Wonder what is causing this behaviour?
(have installed Bluhell Firewall and Ublock Origin Extension)

Thank you!

Hello ,

today i tried to install an older game *Diablo

via Lutris

on my Computer running Devuan Beowulf.

The error i get is:

Vulkan is not installed or is not supported by your system

Is there anything i can do about it?
My graphics card is AMD Rx560.

Thank you very much.

Yes,  That is correct.  Was the package you were looking for there?

This is a useful page for sources.list information.

Still getting error

E: The value 'beowulf-backports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Maybe the error is related to the !Italian! sources.list?

Would be this package
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … iptvsimple

i still could include it via Deb-Multimedia, but those packages are built against Debian, so it would be a double-risk, but most of the time it is quite a good solution. Still it would be nice to find the package in Beowulf.
Noticed that on Ascii it is included, and on Beowulf it seems only few Kodi-addons avaiable.
Thank you.

Thanks for all your help.

too bad i did not notice that= chimaera,

as i upgraded toCeres (Planet1) and my ability to rest*hibernate* and the like was gone.

also, here https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ the package search for

testing

is greyed out, so it is not seeable if

chimaera

has python3.8?

Thanks again, hope to find a stabler solution with Linux.

#459 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Python3.8 / Testing? » 2020-03-29 11:12:15

it seems the

beowulf-backports

are not yet available,

so i resorted to include

ceres

and could install python3.8 from there (next to upgrade some other packages).
after i changed repository from

to

the packages from ceres would become installable (to solve the error above, again

sudo hwclock --hctosys 

had to be applied > so the system has problems with timezone fuss in the european-union > understandably)

hope this will not lead to further complications

#460 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Python3.8 / Testing? » 2020-03-29 11:05:02

the package python3.8 seems available in

Ceres (testing)

but the similar error as above would occur upon including the repository

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update

whenever i add "beowulf backports" i get this error here

when i then comment out

beowulf-backports

the error would remain.

after

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1096930 … -yet-valid

applying

sudo hwclock --hctosys 

sudo apt update

would return normal, but only unless i don't include beowulf-backports?

Hello ,

For a program "SVP - Smooth Video Project")

#466 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan Ascii - Opensource Drivers Amd / AMD RX560 » 2020-03-27 21:29:20

Hello Rolfie, hallo!

I upgraded to Beowulf, but the graphics seems still a bit lacking.

Followed this advice here
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- … -10-buster

and installed all those packages (on Beowufl)

Should i still install newer Kernel - but i suppose there is no Backports yet for Beowulf.

The problem is, with the program above, the framerate conversion functions, but whenever i move the window to another monitor, the frame-dropping occurs. it couuld well also just be a problem with the svp4linux setup;

thank you!

Hello ,

i just installed ths program here on Devuan Ascii

https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Linux

and it seems that my graphics card AMD RX560 is very poorly performing with Devuan 2.0 Asciii.

i changed the options for svptube2 to playback only in mp4 format (the RX560 has no hardware encoding/decoding for VP9 codec?) but the playback is still very laggy.

My question is:

is there a way to improve the Graphics Driver on Devuan for the AMD cards?

All i did was to install

firmware-linux-nonfree

Thank you very much!

and did let upgrade python3, now the package would finally install.

#469 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » upgrade python3 on devuan ascii / howto install » 2020-03-27 12:16:22

i used this guide here to install python3 on my system locally

https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-instal … -debian-9/

maybe i could choose to install python3.7 on top of system-level python3?

the author above does not recommend it (see point n.6).

Do not use the standard make install as it will overwrite the default system python3 binary.

most the packages on ascii seem hold on python3.5.3
