hello,
on my newer laptops the sound is very low;
used to uninstall pulseaudio and use only alsa on older laptops; the sound was better, somehow.
is it possible to get with withs "pipewire" better soundstage?
on the same newer laptops, with windows (7 or10) the sound is MUCH better!
thanks, had upgraded python to python3.7 manually, seems to have upset the system a bit.

hello,
infacto, wicd has not been removed, and is still enabled in "application autostart" , but not seen as widget in panel (nor add-able as item as such, only network items to be added to panel are "network monitor" and "wavelan".
shoud i remove it?
there is however, no other "network" box that i could tick instead that i am aware of (see screenshot)
https://ibb.co/zV9MDRz
thanks
EDIT: forgot to add that i have also installed "MATE Desktop" but it is not started/run; everything concerning xfce4;
installed also "connman", but there is no "network" entry in system settings to be seen.
EDIT2: removing wicd yielded error

rich@rich-CELSIUS-H270:~/Programs/Geekbench-5.4.5-Linux$ hello,
would be glad if someone could give me additional advice:
on a upgrade from devuan jessie to ascii have a working installation on laptop;
however, would like to use "protonvpn" , and since devuan ascii based on Debian 9, it would have to be installed manually.
followed this guide here
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/
which on point nr.1 says to install
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnomewhich i did , and it installed quite some packages, but upon reboot , i lost my "wicd" applet in the panel,
and there is nowhere to be seen any network settings, neither in "Settings" nor in "Settings Manager";
This on Devuan Ascii 2.0, running XFCE4.
Please let me know how i can manage the Network settings on XFCE4 , and possibly add an OpenVPN connection.
Hello,
i tried this solution for my laptop, but i dont seem to get "suspend" working; when i close laptop lid, the system wont resume.
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=24694#p24694
before had used "Nvidia-Linux-x86_64-340-xx.run" (on Devuan Jessie an Ascii) and had no major problems, and resume worked fine.
But now , with Beowulf, if i would install Nvidia.run on a fresh install, and then let nvidia-xconfig create config file, after reboot there would be just a black screen. On Chimaera, it would not even install properly (probably due to 5.10 kernel).
do you guys have no problems with suspend and 340-legacy drivers?
on a different partition have installed ubuntu 22.04 and the 333/ppa for nvidia-legacy, and it works, also resume functions, but it is really slow, and would prefer devuan to use, but cant get to work it properly with newer fresh install of devuan beowulf (upgrading from devuan jessie to beowulf seems to work, though)
sorry but i am not very experienced with nvidia cards and linux in general.
https://launchpad.net/~kelebek333/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia-legacy
EDIT: it seems the problems with suspend / lock / resume from suspend occur mainly on XFCE4
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991788
switching to Cinnamon does not yield these problems, so problem seems "solved" on this laptop with Beowulf;
however, the .run file from Nvidia 340
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
does build correctly on latest 4.19, but would not produce a viable login on my laptop; i am still open to suggestion on how to solve this;
first the installer asks if he should blacklist nouveau (yes), then after reboot install the driver via .run which builds correctly, then asks if nvidia xconfig should produce config file (yes) and after another reboot instead of login screen greeted with blank screen and not even str+alt+1 does function from there.
Hello, any news to this thread?
Tried this yesterday/today on Laptop with FX 770m graphics,
but it seems Ceres not offering the desired solution (yet).
My Question: it has been alluded that it could be solved by using a backported kernel from Beowulf, but how to achieve this?
Installing kernel 4.19 + headers for it and just booting from it?
(EDIT: it seems there are no kernel headers for 4.19 on Beowulf Backports available).
Thank you.
hello,
i tried this tonight ,
but don't know if this solution is still viable for devuan in2022.
atleast one this laptop here i get the following error
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-devel : Depends: wine-devel (= 7.17~buster-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.this happens on devuan beowulf for all 3 options (stable, developemnet or staging).
dont know if this applies to devuan beowulf in general, as i have upgraded from jessie probably up to beowulf, and in the process maybe used once or twice also the "deb-multimedia" repository.
same error with devuan ascii netinstiso.amd64 - faild to select and install software (via usb stick)
thanks
Hello,
just tried to install Devuan Jessie via USB from Netinst and FullDVD,
and both times failed
at the step:
select and install software.
first it would not find any network mirror,
so i would enter it manually (archive.devuan.org/merged)
and it would find packages, but then comment them out;
and ultimately it would not install any software packages at all.
Is this because i am trying to install from a USB Media?
the installer has been made via mkusb.
Hello,
upgraded Laptop from Ascii to Beowulf,
and sofar things seem to work just fine,
however, i noticed that when returning from suspend, when resuming,
no password / screensaver password is being asked, altough the setting is set in xfce if i am not mistaken.
xfce energy settings > system > block display , when system goes in suspend (yes)
in screensaver settings > left everything untouched.
devuan3.0, xfce4, nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
sorry, found only later out that i needed program "Bumblebee" or similar since the laptop has Nvidia + Intel.
However, the instructions on Debian Wiki wont work for getting usable desktop, atleast on Devuan Ascii.
For Devuan Chimaera it seems the Bumblebee is not supported for my graphics card, since it is too old.
I tried with Debian Wheezy, there it would install, no problem.
Now i am testing with Ubuntu 16, it seems functioning well, however the instructions on Ubuntu Wiki are different than on Debian Wiki.
For Ubuntu wiki it states (for those wanting to use Nvidia Proprietary Graphics
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-genericwhereas Debian wiki says
sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primusfor Devuan i tried with the above, but it was not possible to get a working Graphics Desktop with XFCE (didnt even try hard, have to admit)
thanks,
i tried that,
apt-get upgrade installed nvidia-persistenced, with 0kb additional space.
however, upon reboot, it seems not functional

Hello,
on al Laptop T420 with dedicated GPU Nvidia NVS4200 1GB
installed Devuan Chimaera,
and afterwards attempted to install the proper driver for Nvidia Card as it seems it not installed in first place.
so i choose to install "Nvidia-Legacy-390xx-driver" and lot of packages get downloaded, installed, but at the end get error
Errors were encountered while processing:
nvidia-persistenced
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)Please tell me how to properly install the driver, if possible, thanks.
well, thanks, after installing wicd, i have the network icon (wicd-manager i suppose) in the panel,
but after every reboot, or startup, there is no internet;
i then need to manually "disconnect" and "connect" throught the wicd network manager.
sudo apt install network-manager

Hello,
on an older laptiop i have a nice 1920x1200 native resolution,
but legibility is poor due to TN Panel, and admittedly it is a bit small to read (maybe my eyes need more training)
so i'd like to set the display "fractional scaling" to 125% , a bit like on Windows 10.
Only setting i have found is to set manually tthe "DPI" value which atm is set to "96".
Can someone please show me how to achieve this on XFCE without the need to resort to XRandr?
Thanks.
yes, i went through ascii;
network-manager-gnome seems not installable; maybe i had used "deb-multimedia-repository" previously on jessie, might have made confusion.
thanks for the suggestions, will report later.
Hello,
have upgraded to computer to Beowulf and
encountered the following
the "Restart" and "Shutdown" button is greyed out;
the computer is functioning normal well,
but i seem not be able to hibernate/suspend and restart / shutdown via the Applications Menu command.
Is there something i am missing?
have installed the Firmware-AMD-package.
Thanks.
Hello,
on an older ocmputer upgraded from Jessie Devuan to Beowulf
now i wanted to install ProtonVPN manually,
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/
and found out that the Network icon (Ethernet) is missing in the Panel-Bar.
Adding New Items to Panel does not yield, since there is no Network Manager Item there, only Wavelan and Network Monitor.
Also i seem to miss any Network entries in "Settings" and "Settings Manager".
Maybe i am missing the appropriate Package?
the network seems to function just fine over Ethernet.
Please someone help me out,
Thanks.
Hello ,
i just installed Devuan 4.0 and would like to use the Tablet with the Ethernet over USB
to achieve this, would be nice to have ADB ready, but it seems this tool is missing on Devuan.
Please could someone add this to Devuan? thanks!
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
On Debian-based distros, you can alternatively install the package android-tools-adb.
Hello,
i have a computer with a loud graphics card,
radeon wx2100
and would like if possible achieve a better fan behaviour;
found this info here
https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo
amdgpu-fan
It is possible that the driver and firmware manage the fans too poorly. amdgpu-fan is a tool that allows you to manage the fans of the graphics card to better control the temperature. Unfortunately this open-source tool is not available in the Debian repositories, you have to install it from python-pip3:
from what i understand, one needs to
Create a service in systemd to daemonize the tool
is this possible on Devuan or how could i achieve a better fan curve on this little, bit noisy card?
Thanks.
alright, the trick seems to be to initiate the "other" opening within Firefox itself, then your "strange" routine would actually initiate the proper gdebi-password-routine,
however, if the same .deb file were to be opened solely upon within Thunar, this would not allow for the initiation of the password retrieval procedure?
just to make sure we are ion the same page:
1. Devuan 4.0 64bit XFCE4 standard
2. random .deb > instead of left click > right click > open with > open iwth other application > choose from "recommended applications" > gdebi package installer .
3. phoronix-test-suite_10.8.2_all.deb would say "Status: RequireS installation of 9 packages" > clicking "Install Package" > would result in window "going" away with no password being asked / no result.
therefore i cannnot reproduce your workaround here,
thank you very much.
here is a log of xsession-errors after a reboot and opening of deb file via gdebi
thanks,
policykit-1-gnome is already installed,
there is long list in .xsession-errors
latest entrys after clickin a .deb "away" are
