Ok, this is a slightly different situation, your 5600G CPU isn't comparable to a 5x00XT graphics card. And despite your post the 5.10 kernel series is stock Chimaera, not backports.

For full support please enable chimaera-backports main contrib non-free in your sources.list. The perform:

# apt update
# apt -t chimaera-backports install linux-image-amd64 firmware-amd-graphics

linux-image-amd64 is a meta-package that pulls the latest backports kernel (currently some 6.x version) and makes sure that its being upgraded when required. And also the graphics firmware has an update in backports.

Give it a try, should improve your system ...

Use Daedalus as search pattern in the forum search and you will find a bunch of topics listed.

I myself use it productive already on a brand new graphics card that does not work well in Chimaera. More than two months now, no major issues. I have also installed it on my laptop in parallel to Chimaera.

With todays update session I received several firmware updates. Looks like the merge has been adapted.

I guess that change has not been considered by Devuan yet. the sources.list from my test machine reads:

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

# apt update works, but apt list does not find any packages from the new repo https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non- … e-nonfree/, example:

# apt list firmware*

Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is because the "enumeration" has been parallelised instead of looking at ata, then scsi, then usb in serial order. And since usb has become more important over the years chances are much higher nowadays that additional usb devices pop up as block devices.

Edith: Just checked, I already had issues with that when setting up my file server with Debian 3 Sarge. Adding/removing a scsi disk screwed the device naming, in my early Linux days I started to use uuid.

It depends on the DE and the options used if gparted is installed by default.

Please show your sources.list and

# apt policy gparted

When you want to install a linux in efi mode, the boot medium has to be started in efi mode.

Normally all PCs have a boot override. Use that and have a close look. on a efi system you should find the boot stick twice, without note and with (efi) or similar. For an efi installation use the efi marked option.

Have you installed ntfs-3g?

I am using it and I am not aware of any limitations beyond 2T.

Got Bookworm installed in a VBox VM now. efi had to be disabled, and I had to use an IDE controller for the cdrom and the iso, then it worked.

Its a full cinnamon task based installation, legacy mode, non encrypted on a LVM. ntpsec is installed and configured the same as my desktop.

Behaviour is slightly different. Gnome system tools throws the same error, the Cinnamon setting happily sits on the network time.

You will have to get accustomed to efi and GPT with new HW. I bought a new Acer laptop about 2 years ago that does not have the possibility anymore to configure CSM.

efi and GPT are mandatory.

There is a bug report now with number 733 for this issue.

Yes got the same ntpsec version installed, and yes, updating is a daily task.

What happens if you change the configuration in the left window which is the one from the gnome-system-tools from manual to internet time?

Or switch the Network Time button in the right hand window to enabled?

According to my notes this is required to enable updating the time from a server.

BTW: just learned that I am missing the native Cinnamon app (your right hand screen). Did my installation with --no-install-recommends. Another side effect. Something to look into.

Thanks for following up ...

Edith: No, got the Cinnamon Date and Time app in my settings. What happens here: I can switch to network time without a complaint from the system (root password is required) and close the app. When I call it up again its back to manual.
