Even though it mentions Windows, it shouldn’t matter as it’s a bootable CD image and won’t touch your hard drive. You should be able to select the USB drive from the bios boot menu if it is copied correctly to the usb drive. There is also a bios update tool on that page that claims to be compatible with Debian 9 and might work under Devuan. -- Tom___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] Hardware support for new Thinkpad?
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I've had a chance to try a build of daedalus --- it didn't work either. Temporarily back on Kubuntu (busy/bad time of the year to be playing with hardware configs). I did get a comparison of the outputs of lsusb, lspci, and lsmod on both daedalus and kubuntu. lsusb and lspci are unchanged (no surprise?) but the list of differences in the "lsmod" output is quite long. What I *think* I'm picking out of that is the presence of nVidia devices, particularly for audio and for a "VGA compatible controller" (although there's also an Intel GT1 VGA compatible controller) in the "lspci" output. So I'm thinking that I'm missing some proprietary drivers. I'll dig into adding proprietary drivers. The Lenovo website only lists Windows-based driver/firmware/BIOS updates, so that's no help. Am I right that the process for Debian and for Devuan should be about the same? thanks again, -Bob On 4/25/22 05:54, dng-requ...@lists.dyne.org wrote: On 24 Apr 2022, at 21:28, . via Dng wrote: I just got a Thinkpad P1 gen 4, and Chimaera doesn't recognize the audio, camera, or HDMI port (not to mention the fingerprint sensor in the power switch).

Do you mean it's not even showing the devices using those commands others replied with? Are you using pulseaudio, which is the default, and it's just not showing up in their mixer? Are you using raw ALSA like me, and being very surprised that my graphics card with two HDMI and two Display Port connectors is showing a dozen HDMI audio ports, most of which don't work? But two or three of them do work, and not always the same ones. Or something else? VLC was quite useful in listing all the audio devices, and letting me quickly switch between them. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Anything which says "audio" or "video" in the output is a good start :) > For what it's worth, the last couple of releases of Ubuntu *do* support > the multimedia hardware. In that case I would boot into a (live?) version of Ubuntu and run: lsusb lspci lsmod That last command will tell you which kernel modules have been loaded in order to support the various hardware devices. > Do I need to move to Daedalus? Possibly - it's worth a try, to see whether it does a better job with less work than persuading Chimaera. > If so, is there an install package for that? Yes, for example http://devuan.bardia.tech/devuan_daedalus/installer-iso/ > Thanks for any help in getting this machine up on Devuan. Feel free to post the output of lsusb and lspci here (best from Ubuntu, since it seems really to know what the things are) in case anyone recognises devices and can point you further in a helpful direction.
