Greetings This group has been far and above for approachability and helpfulness in comparison to the predecessor group. This is not on devuan at this point but I am working on moving my systems over - - - but aqs I've had too many joys in the past - - - - I'm a little slow - - - -e specially on my main system which this is.
I have filed an issue with the extract_firmware location but that might take months until it is read and this needing to reboot (followed by 1/2 hour of system setup) at least once every 24 hours is enough to run anyone bananas! Hopefully there is someone who might assist - - - - - Running nouveau on debian testing with 2 graphics cards. 1. Nvidia 1050 Ti 2. Nvidia 570 Driving 5 monitors 1. 4k 2. rest 1920x1080 Driving seems to work well enough but i'm having to reboot at least once every 24 hours. Error in dmesg is: [ 428.865383] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nvc8_fuc084 failed with error -2 [ 428.865390] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: firmware: failed to load nouveau/nvc8_fuc084d (-2) [ 428.865391] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nvc8_fuc084d failed with error -2 [ 428.865393] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: msvld: unable to load firmware data [ 428.865394] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: msvld: init failed, -19 Working through the following page: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html I get to $ python2 extract_firmware.py # this script is for python 2 only where I am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.141.run extract_firmware.py (from right here) my resultant is: root@debianbase:/tmp/nouveau/nvidia# ls extract_firmware.py NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.141.run root@debianbase:/tmp/nouveau/nvidia# python3 extract_firmware.py Please run this in a directory where NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108 is a subdir. You can make this happen by running wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/340.108/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108.run sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108.run --extract-only Note: You can use other versions/arches, see the source for what is acceptable. In looking at the source code version 340.108 is that latest listed. What and how do I change things so that I can extract this firmware blob so that hopefully my error message will disappear and my system will as robust as it was for the last 4 years. (I added the 5th monitor and that's when the issue appeared.)
