Thank you. Note that the glxinfo command doesn't need root privileges so you should have just run it as your normal user: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle … _privilege

Now can we please see the output of this command:

# apt install firmware-misc-nonfree

^ That command does need root privileges (hence the # symbol in front of it).

Because it gives me the ****ing horn. And I suppose it would also constitute diagnostic information.

I think you can answer that for yourself :-)

PulseAudio usually relies on a systemd user socket & service to autostart.

And please don't spell it "system D", it really winds me up

It's crap because it needs proprietary blobs to work properly, it's slower than QEMU/KVM and the developers have a long history of ignoring security vulnerabilities (which is why it was removed from Debian's stable releases and backports).

@OP: gnome-boxes provides a very easy to use front end for QEMU/KVM.

Bash will read ~/.profile as long as ~/.bash_profile is not present but only if it is run as a login shell. However SLiM (the default display manager for Devuan) does not run bash as a login shell and logging in through that will result in ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile) not being read.

You can confirm this for yourself by logging in at a console (TTY) screen instead. It is not a bug.

Looks like your system clock is wrong. Are you dual-booting with Windows? If so then make sure that is using UTC instead of their ridiculous localtime starndard: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … in_Windows

Check /etc/adjtime in Devuan and make sure it has UTC as the last line. Then try starting & enabling NTP:

# apt install ntp
# /etc/init.d/ntp start
# update-rc.d ntp defaults

Once the system clock is correct and set to UTC then update the motherboard clock:

# hwclock --systohc

Please use code tags rather than quote tags when posting terminal output, it greatly aids readability.

Do you have any libnvidia-* packages installed? If so then remove them.

aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, libnvidia)'

Reference: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104928 ← that was the third result when I entered the X.Org log errors into a search engine.

This will provide a full rundown of hardware acceleration support on your machine:

glxinfo -B

The command is supplied by the mesa-utils package.

Yeah, glxgears isn't a benchmark. Perhaps try https://benchmark.unigine.com/ instead?

Anyway, please mark the thread [SOLVED] to help others who encounter this problem.

The projected price is $665 but that doesn't include a power supply. The old Unleashed board cost ~$3,000 with the expansion so the Unmatched board is pretty good value. I might even buy one myself...

Please post the actual output rather than a vague description.

For example:

# apt update
$ apt policy linux-image-amd64

^ What does the second command say, exactly?

EDIT: apt policy doesn't need root privileges.

There are Renoir blobs in the backported firmware-amd-graphics package. Have you tried booting with the backported kernel & firmware but without the nomodeset kernel paramater? AMD graphics cards require KMS.

Or just grab the firmware from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … ree/amdgpu and copy it to /lib/firmware/amdgpu/.
