I also try installing Hypnotix, but get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hypnotix : Depends: libmpv1 but it is not installable
            Recommends: youtube-dl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Thanks for your help :)

Installation / Re: cannot install ANY .deb pa...
Last post by duststuff - March 18, 2024, 03:00:22 AM
Only have time for a general answer right now. I'm assuming that you're talking about something like double-clicking on a DEB file and expecting that gdebi would open and install it, and that this has worked for you in the past on this system.

I've had this problem with a DEB file in the past and it turned out to be a dependency issue, but yours could be some other issue.

First thing you want to do is try to install the DEB file via the terminal. In this case, I would first confirm that 'debi' is the CLI (command-line interface / terminal) version of 'gdebi' (I think it is), and then use that. (You can use 'man debi' or an online search to figure out the command you need if you don't know it.) The reason for doing this is because it should give you output in the terminal about problems / warnings / errors so that you know what's going on, which will then help you know how to solve it.

If it does seem like it's a dependency issue (missing dependencies, etc.), I would first try to 'fix' missing / broken packages (I think that's what it's called). Here's the Sparky wiki section on that: https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/fix_package .

Hope that helps and you're able to get it figured out.

Sparky applications / weird anacron issue
Last post by joealuminium - March 17, 2024, 09:18:15 PM
Hi,

I've just installed SparkyLinux (SparkyLinux 7.3)on my main PC and I had a weird issue with anacron.
It didn't appear to do anything.

I had set up a couple of backup scripts one in /etc/cron.daily and one in /etc/cron.monthly they work fine and run as they should with run-parts /etc/cron.daily but not when invoked by anacron, nothing happens. No timestamp files were created in /var/spool/anacron.

When I ran anacron -u from the command line again no timestamp files were created. After a bit of digging and removing and installing anacron I discovered that /usr/sbin/anacron was a symbolic link to /bin/true and there was a file in /usr/sbin called anacron.orig.anacron. When I removed anacron from the system the file /usr/sbin/anacron.orig.anacron was removed. It reappeared when I installed anacron.

I removed the symbolic link from /usr/sbin/anacron to /bin/true and created a symbolic link to anacron.orig.anacron and now everything appears to work.

Is this intentional? A known issue? or an oversight.     

Cheers

Hi I've just joined the Forum but I've been using SparkyLinux for a while now on my old kit. I've just done a parallel install on my main PC with the intention of switching from Lubuntu.

We'll see how I get on using it on a daily basis.

Sparky applications / Xarchiver's 'Extract' Options ...
Last post by duststuff - March 10, 2024, 12:00:19 PM
I've noticed that Xarchiver's 'Extract' options don't work in the PcMan file manager's context menu, and am wondering if this is perhaps a bug. They work fine with the default Thunar file manager. I've tried with both the 'pcmanfm' package and the 'pcmanfm-sparky' package. My workaround for now is to install / use the 'file-roller' package ('Archive Manager'), which works fine for this.

I'm on Sparky 7 Xfce. My 'inxi -Fr' output:

No, there is Sparky APTus AppCenter instead now.

QuoteWhat is APTus AppCenter?
It is improved APTus, still Yad based, but with HTML technology, and still as small, fast and lightweight as possible.

Hello to all.
New sparky user. Clean 7.2 install.

Sparky APTus  --  does it still exist?
https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/aptus says to do sudo apt-get install sparky-aptus, but system says "package sparky-aptus is not available".

Thank you.
