after the first

afterwards mostly 0msec , to 7msec.

I dont know if need Avahi, took it only because as sample at hand.

opening webpages most of the times is reasonably speedy.

removing

mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]

would not make any noticeable difference, if any, it took even longer to initiate the install of packages.

Really odd behaviour, the computer should be capable of being fast enough for simple tasks.

Thanks mr. fsmithred,

made it habit to install

apt install gvfs* samba smbclient

on Devuan but that seems not sufficient to access the network share directly by clicking onto the icon.
Im inclined to think there is something wrong with Apple implementation of Samba V2 for Mavericks, because on Devuan 2.0 the mac-side network share is not even visible. but this is just a guess, and certainly also on Devuan it is not so easy to get through to the network share.

here is the same network shown on a Devuan 2.0 laptop,
and here the Rock64 Share is directly accessible and listed as 1 Device (under Devuan 4.0 all Rock64 Network shares are listed, and 1 is "clickable"
please note that 2 Mac Computer should be listed on the Network Shares but no trace of them in Devuan 2.0

EDIT > as for your suggestion n.2 , thanks again, will have to look into that and learn how to do it.

thanks head_on_a_stick,

have to retract my previous post, it seems to function actually,
the polars gets recognized "properly",

Platform #0: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
 `-- Device #0: gfx804

Thank you very much!

EDIT: it "seems" to function, probably, is still better wording. don§t think that pulling a 29,2 MB .deb of a 685 MB Archive is capable of doing it the proper way as it supposed, but for some usecases it might be OK.

Thanks, do i need to upgrade from Devuan 4.0 to Devan 5.0 to get this package / Hardware accelleration?

Hello,

head_on_a_Stick,

thanks for the effort,
but its not functioning.

let§s hope someone brillian come up with an one-liner to install the amdgpu-pro driver (with --opencl=legacy) also for debian/devuan.

Hello,

id like to have confirmation this is still functioning in 2021.

Tried today on my smallPC with Devuan Chimaera,
but could not get neither Firefox , nor Chromium or Chrome to stream Amazon Prime Video in HD (only SD quality).
Did install Widevine manually, as it seems missing for Chromium on Devuan 4.0, but it would not play HD nevertheless.

Thank you Rolfie, this thread might come in handy another time.
On my Ryzen PC I have no problem because there the small SSD is for Ubuntu and Beowulf,now Chimaeira and the NVME for Windows 7 Pro, and to install Windows 7 on Ryzen I need CSM activated ( from my shallow understanding)

here is the guide for installing manually protonvpn in linux

https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/

thanks rolfie, yes the secureboot was disabled, but somehow things still got messed up.
however, got tired, and disabled the UEFI entirely, and ta-raa, now the Beowulf installer boots correctly.
Only thing, seem to have to -reinstall windows 7 again, but will check that later.
Thanks everybody for the help.
