#126 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (AMD A10-9700 APU) OpenCL > OpenCL subsystem isn't available » 2024-12-27 16:02:15

the application ins question is still not happy with the result, maybe some other component of AMD Driver is mssing;

the request of Program is listed as

"Properly installed video drivers including OpenCL ICD"

on Devuan Excalibur,

i have installed drivers according to "Debian Standards" like here

https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo

apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all

plus the package you suggested

rocm-opencl-icd

so probably i need this package "ROCM" instead of the driver above suggested by Debian Wiki?

is this even available for Devuan?

maybe you can help or/and point in the right direction.

the program fails to initiate frame rendering with the current setup;

thank you very much for kind help,

maybe Epson has made an error with this package, don't know, there is still error
after
installing "systemctl"

Hello ,

i am wanting to install the proper Printer Driver for Epson ET-.5170 printer;

so far it function over USB after installing LSB-compat from Stretch,

however, the package

"epson-pc-fax2" is not installing with error

Setting up epson-pc-fax2 (1.0.0) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/epson-pc-fax2.postinst: 14: systemctl: not found
dpkg: error processing package epson-pc-fax2 (--install):
 installed epson-pc-fax2 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 epson-pc-fax2

is there something can do to overcome this error?

(systemctl: not found)

this did not happen with previous iterations of the driver.

thanks

hello ,

thanks for the help;
it would funciton when spoofing "debian" , but this is not elegante solution, so iam hoping for alternative (functional)

the GPU is Radeon RX 7600 (basic).

EDIT: alright, i upgraded once more to Excalibur,

it seems clinfo is now giving correct OpenCL, will test some more

#130 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2024-12-21 21:07:41

can someone please write a guide on "howto" do devuan with alsa-only?

had it done multiple times, but that was still debian 7, maybe 8, 
times have gotten bit more diversified,

now with devuan 5.0 this pc does sound cranky,
would love to have an alsa-only, as it sounded always cleaner to me.

#131 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (AMD A10-9700 APU) OpenCL > OpenCL subsystem isn't available » 2024-12-21 15:07:19

Opencl is currently enabled in rocm on debian, available as rocm-opencl-icd.

You would have to run (devuan) testing or unstable to use it.

Hello ,

would this need that is still need to install "rocm" on Devuan 6.0?

there is official package amdgpu rocm from AMD, but this is installable on Devuan only via tricks.

https://www.amd.com/en/support/download … ivers.html

"rocm-opencl-icd" alone seem not suffice for proper OpenCL;
sorry if i got it wrong around.

#132 Re: Installation » Devuan 5 not Booting on 2005 Toshiba Tecra A7 Intel Centrino Duo » 2024-12-17 09:13:59

you can use older version of rufus on XP to create the USB,
but it would probably complain that linux uses newer bootfile or something and tries to download it and could fail doing that.

best bet on older systems is to burn ISO to CD/DVD and boot from that, just my experience.
<just had mayor problems booting off Ventoy on older AMD II system. booting of DVD no problemo.

on Linux normally i use mkusb to create bootable linux USB, found it more realiable than Unetbootin

Hei SpongeBob,

that could be , but then most probably on side of Devuan=?

just discovered Parole lately, like the fact that i would automatically pickup all the files in directory and show them to play as playlist when hovering mouse to the right.

hello ,

i have noticed that the default player Parole
won#t play mp4 from over network; having stored files locally on a NAS, it would not play them back;

have noticed that on another computer with KDE (probably (k)ubuntu) Parole would function to play MP4 (over network) so maybe the player is needing some other setting or plugins?

when i copy file over to local HDD , no problem to playback.

thanks

hello , you can activate the sharing again via Preferences / Plugins / DAAP Music sharing .
afterwards, the DLNA shares are again visible on the rhythmbox here.
it is enabled by default on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04< for some reason, on Debian 12/13 no longer enabled by default, hence the same behaviour seen on Devuan 5.0 and Excalibur.

thank you, i was able to install the OpenCL part of driver, in daedalus, it seem function;

however, the application, most probably need the vulkan part of amdgpu, and those seem not function with the opensource driver as exepected.

i have now a newer System with Graphics card RX 7000 series.

Is there  asolution to install OpenCL for Devuan and Amdgpu already?
On Ubuntu it would function, but would much prefer using Devuan.
Thanks.

Hello ,

have installed yesterday Devuan on an older computer here
and tried to connecto to university,

but the Software could not connect, so i was wondering if i am missing something.

The System received, Chimaera, afterwards updated to Daedalus, but error still present.

upon launching the software "Cisco Secure Client" 5.1.2.42

the error message is

"No connection to VPN service. Reattach failed"

Coule be that the University VPN service is down, but  rather think that maybe my Devuan installation is somehow incomplete.

Thanks.

hello EDX-0 , what is elogind and do i need to install it/configure it if i want to use Hibernate on Devuan? issue is also, that the automatic installer makes it so that hibernate does not function out of the box, atleast with Ubuntu, which i use on most of laptops nowaday.

#143 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (howTo) hibernate after automatic install? » 2024-07-20 19:05:48

on another laptop got swap partition inserted after manipulation with gparted livesystem, then used this help here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SkXRqe … drive_link

now this however was a ubuntu 24.04 and has systemd, but it function now there.
(fyi> i did not need create the part with "/etc/polkit-1/etc.")

hibernate can be evoken "sudo systemctl hibernate" or via "sudo pm-hibernate"
bit cumbersome process, but it can function.

#144 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (howTo) hibernate after automatic install? » 2024-07-20 13:49:57

very complicated, hibernate is useful, could satisfy more laptops i suppose than reunning out of battery quick.

will see if can implant it later on, but seems difficult.
the automatic installer could ask if one wants this feature, which is especially useful on laptops'?

yes, but why did the automatic install not take into account? is swap partition obsolete? it used to function well on earlier debian version if remember correctly.

Hello,

noticed that this laptop has gotten the automatic install of devuan, but has only 1GB Swappartition allocated.
The RAM size is probably 4GB.

Is this a Bug?
How can i properly let the laptop go into hibernation after some time, since the battery is not so good on this T60.

Helo

i have an older laptop now running Devuan 5.0 ,
it has dedicated Thinkpad Buttons and F8 is supposed to toggle Wireless/On/Off<

now my issue is that whenever when Laptop wake from sleep, Wifi is on (again), instead i have toggled it OFF via F8.
next issue is that F8 Button is supposed to toggle all Wireless *atleast that is what i understand under it
but Bluetooth is not toggled and remains running and i see no toggle to Switch On/Off bluetooth.

nmcli radio wifi
disabled
sudo service bluetooth status
bluetooth is running.

i am using XFCE which is standard for Devuan, maybe there lies the problem?

thank you very much.

#148 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » removing pulseaudio correctly / Chimaera » 2024-01-07 11:24:44

Hello Ralph,

thank you for the suggestion,

what i ended up doing is uninstalling "everything" that was proposed, but found out that tasksel would everytime re-install pulseaudio and remove everytime every desktop flavour chosen with all the corresponding packages if afterwards again chosen to remove pulseaudio.

so i then installed xfce4 manually afterwards without tasksel command, but this time added

pulseaudio-

like in

sudo apt-get install xfce4 pulseaudio- xfce4-goodies

which then achieved the desired to stop installing the pulseaudio and doing so without breaking the desktop.

Audio still could be better, but the year is long, so lets hope well.

Hello ,

i have upgraded my Alsa-Only Laptop from Jessie to Chimaera and have found that it again installed Pulseaudio in the process.

Since on Linux Laptop Audio is generally weak-spot, thought that Alsa-only at least alleviates the issue;

Now, i have an old command that i copy-pasted from the internet in use since debian wheezy, which helped well,
but i needs to adapt for 2024.

now, if i like to use the command, it would deinstall also XFCE4 and Task-Desktop-XFCE4, which i like to avoid.

Please help to adapt the command to achieve this.

original command

sudo killall pulseaudio
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libpulse-browse0 paman pavumeter pavucontrol
sudo mv /etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf.bak
rm ~/.pulse-cookie
rm -r ~/.pulse
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-oss alsamixergui libalsaplayer0

newer version?

 sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio libpulse-mainloop-glib0 paman pavumeter pavucontrol

however

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio libpulse-mainloop-glib0 paman pavumeter pavucontrol

#150 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » nvidia-persistenced failed to initialize » 2024-01-04 19:26:53

hello ,

i have this issue "persistenced" on upgrade from ascii to beowulf with FX Quadro 770m<
the solution from "StopAI" worked perfectly to get me back into Desktop with Graphics Accelerations.

what i did>

1. uninstall official Nvidia/driver 340.108 in recovery.
2. install as suggested "sudo apt install --no-install-recommends nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver"
3. reboot, voil'a

now it is understanding that the next step, if wanted to upgrade further, would be to jump from Beowulf stright to Ceres, or uninstall again, and regain X without Nvidia, and go from there to upgrade path ZChimaera Daedalus Ceresa.

EDIT> i tried first with the official driver package from Nvidia, since this worked in the previous iterations of Debian/Devuan, but would no longer function on Devuan 3.0 for some reason or another.
