Missing firmware for amdgpu.

So install the firmware. # apt install firmware-linux-nonfree Problem solved.

I don't know about the absolute newest amd stuff but my card is well supported, better than on Windows even once I install the firmware package.


It's not that simple. Actual package ...

ATI Rage card is 30 years old, support for this may be flaky.
Try to install xserver-xorg-video-mach64 (checked name in Debian Bookworm). It may contain a mach64 driver for your ATI Rage card.
If you continue having problems with this card, then replace it with another PCI card off eBay for £5 ...

I'm still using Lxqt 1.0.0 on OpenBSD, and I'm typing this from a laptop running that version. Honestly, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Chasing after the newest, cutting-edge software isn't always necessary. In fact, it's not always the best or most secure choice. As Linus Torvalds ...

Where you guys take ryzenadj from? This is proprietary CPU overclock software from AMD? I've checked and this does not exist in Bookworm repository.

I agree. Entire systemd abomination is irritating. First this I do on my computers is to install rsyslogd back again. Without it, I don't even have fail2ban filtering, which is based on text log files (for ssh rules I use), AFAIK.
I am contemplating to move my homeserver to Devuan system, which is ...

Historically, yes. If you encounter any problem, don't hesitate to ask on forum

Yeah you can use non-free firmware ISO for installation. But you don't have to. You can use Ethernet during installation, or give installer file unpacked from .deb on a USB stick. That's how I installed all drivers during installation in the past, via USB stick and requested file on it.

If the issue persists on another computer then most likely it's broken, or it may be read-only by design, as @bbbhltz suggested. Give a go to a tool he suggested, but if you have no luck then that's it.

Here's a script to determine x86_64 level and tell which instructions are missing for next higher level. Compatible with Linux and Unix (tested on Debian and OpenBSD).

#!/usr/bin/awk -f

BEGIN {
# Collect CPU features from lscpu
cmd = "lscpu | grep 'Flags:' | awk '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) print $i ...

Maybe
inxi -Nn

That will list network adapters and format output nicely (install inxi if you don't have it).
If your WiFi is working and speed is slow, then you don't have many options, you could investigate if alternate driver is available for your card, or maybe driver accepts some options you ...

I don't know about "the web",

Forgotten already?


Did you used your search engine to find it? I did, and there is plenty of answers and solutions.


Yes, plenty of answers and typical solutions how to troubleshoot a PC with a problem. Nothing about your CPU being broken completely on Linux ...

Testing is a direct descendant from Unstable. It requires knowledge and skill to operate. You updated your system, and added two major desktop environments in one go. They use different desktop managers, they are quite incompatible with each other, it may be hard to maintain them on one machine ...

Specifications of your computer, and the card?
Do you have very low speed even next to the router, with 100% signal quality? How do you measure the speed?

You can't, your device is ready only, this is not a fault of the system, but device itself. Maybe it's broken and switched itself to read-only mode. To make sure this is the case, insert it to another computer to see if result it the same.

I have RX 6800XT card and Diablo IV plays very well on it. I use Battle.Net (not Steam) client, and Debian Stable, with all default Stable versions of drivers and Mesa. I never had any crash when playing this game.
Maybe try Debian Stable and see how it goes. And as CwF, suggested, log in via ssh ...

No, I think you miss the whole point. The components are not faulty, it's just that the CPUs won't run Linux reliably. That is fairly well documented on the web.


I don't know about "the web", but nothing what you said in this thread has confirmed with 100% certainty that your CPUs were ...

So you had two faulty CPU+motherboard combos . Not two faulty CPU and pristine motherboards. That's because you never tested these two motherboards with different CPU model and confirmed it as working. Is that correct? You have not tested these "faulty" CPUs in different motherboard model?
It could ...
