You should be able to install that package from ceres by temporarily adding the ceres sources.list line

  1. Add the line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres main contrib non-free

  2. Install the package and its dependencies an your system:

    # apt-get update
# apt-get install -t ceres ....

    Obviously you should then refrain from installing anything more, but afaict your nvidia-legacy-340xx package should be safe to install in this way.

  3. Restore sources.list by removing or commenting out that line, and then again run:

    # apt-get update

    Or, you may configure "pinning" for ceres so as to follow upgrades to only that package, without getting other things.

thank you!  that's it!  I've installed 'nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver' by following the instructions. 

I received some error regarding 'nvidia-persisenced', but that's probably expected

thanks for the reply!

Chimaera backports doesn't include 'nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver' either, it seems that kernel 5.10 update that comes with chimaera doesn't support 340xx driver anymore.  I wish i knew this before the 4.0 upgrade. 

I still had the 340xx driver installed after 4.0 upgrade but couldn't install 5.10 kernel and headers.  in the process of getting 5.10 kernel installed, 340xx driver was deleted and no longer in the repo.

I have a HP desktop equipped a GeForce 9300 GE card.  and I use it as HTPC connected to my 4K tv running Devuan 3, but upgrading to Devuan 4 over the weekend has broke the nvidia driver support since newer kernel (5.10) doesn't support 340xx driver for my card anymore. Nouveau driver only supports resolution up to 1280x1024. 

I look around and  it seems that Ceres still have 'nvidia-legacy-340xx' available.   it seems that in order to use nvidia driver, the path forward is to use 'Ceres' instead of Chamera.  so the question is:  is Ceres stable enough to use?

Package nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver' has no installation candidate

this driver is no longer available in chimaera

and dpkg --configure -a
and if the problem is not resolved, try removing the kernel packages and install nvidia dependencies and later install  kernel.
apt purge linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64

tried both and failed.  it seems to be a dependency hell now.

linux-image-amd64 is a "Task" package, enables updates for your amd64 kernel.

What you do need is Guile, dkms, linux-headers and linux-headers-common to suit your kernel version, linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 (5.10.70-1) installed to get your nvidia drivers/modules installed and running.

thanks for the reply!
I try to install 'Guile-3.0', but it seems to indicating that linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 isn't properly installed/configured.  i can boot into 4.19 kernel for now but 'apt-get dist-upgrade' results the same error.   trying to remove 'nvidia-persistenced' package also results the same error.

wow, i'm honestly amazed by the speed of new release, trailing debian 10 only by 2 months.

hi

i installed 'VNC viewer' onto ipad to access my devuan htpc with Beowulf x64 installed.  'tightVNC' is running on the devuan machine, but trying to access it from 'VNC viewer' results port error,  both devuan and ipad are located on the same home wifi network.

any suggestion?

hi, i connected my HTPC running beowulf to a sharp 4K tv and set the desktop resolution at 1920x1080.

However, sometimes when i open the TV, the desktop seems to automatically adjust to 4k (3840 x 2160), when i reverted back to 1080p resoluton, it will change again to 4k after a while, and the fonts will become too small to read.

how to keep the desktop at 1080p?

Don't run zoom as root, that's just silly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle … _privilege

launching 'zoom' as regular user didn't work at first, but after a system reboot, i was able to launch the app from command line, no additional info was displayed once zoom was started from CLI though.

The issue remains:  live video in full screen mode lags, if i scaled it down, the video quality improves. and the menu as well as fonts display disproportionately large on the screen.

I was able to go into settings to get sound output once i logged in.

The system is a HP desktop with intel i7, 4G RAM, and nvidia 9300 video card.

You should probably share the exact URL from which you downloaded the package so that we can confirm you have the correct version.

Do you see any error messages if you start Zoom from a terminal?

this is the link i used to download binary package:

hi, i installed 'Zoom' with binary package download from their website.  it seems the apps is extremely slow with video skipping and no sound.  The menu fonts are displayed extra large size on the screen.  I use an old MS webcam.

Those package aren't available in the official repositories (AFAICT). The deb-multimedia repositories have them but we've had lots of problem threads over at forums.debian.net about dependency hell caused by those repositories so perhaps just install the .debs individually instead of adding the repositories.

EDIT: or add the deb-multimedia repositories then pin them to 100 (the same as backports) to prevent inadvertent upgrades.

Thanks for the reply!  This is what I need.

hi, i have kodi installed on beowulf and tried to use it to watch IPTVs.

but some live channels aren't playing and it seems i need to have enable rtmp support from 'VideoPlayer InputStream', but the latter doesn't appear in menu,  so i searched online and run the following commands :

sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive

sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-rtmp

it came back saying 'unable to locate package...'

question is how to install the packages needed to play live IPTV in kodi?

I use nvidia proprietary driver installed through 'synaptics' on this computer.  i believe it's a 9300 series card from nvidia.
