General discussion / Re: Plasma 6?

Last post by 21grams - December 23, 2024, 07:55:48 PM

If having menu or icon issues with plasma 6, read the Plasma 6 Debian Wiki.

NOTE: If upgrading from Orion to Sisters, qt6-svg-plugins should be installed, if not, install before reboot.
After reboot, if the Application Menu is empty, run kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental

if you install sparky on btrfs file system, which creates subvolumes of root and home (if so), you can backup whole partitions using timeshift and restore theme if any problem.

I have been distrohoper for years. I have tested almost everything and used some of them for months(including Arch). Updating Arch after passed a week or more than a week, can produce unpleasant experience. Never experienced a similar situation with Debian testing distro, updating it after more than a month period.
My friendly advice. Stay with Debian or Debian based distros (even based in test repos...SPARKYLINUX is highly suggested). Actually i have 6 distros in my small HP 2170P (SparkyLinux-rolling,MX Linux,Geco Linux (OpenSUSE -Slowroll),Lubuntu,Spiral Linux and Kali Linux.   

I have been as well. I never liked Ubuntu or its variables with the way Canonical is going.

I used Sparky in the past, so I know what's up with it. I just needed a change to Arch. But now it's like, what are all these daily updates? Do I need them? No.

I have installed SparkyLinux(rolling one) in 2 laptops. In my small HP2170p i do updates very regularly.Each day.In the other one I do when i sign in on it.Sometimes in 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more. I never had problems with the second one. The only problem is when you decide to update less frequently the updates can be a lot(in that case you may need a fast speed internet line to update shortly). Try to update once in 2 or 3 days. Does not hurt if you do it every day.

Would be a clever way to back up SparkyLinux frequently, to have a backup if something happens.I prefer to back up SparkyLinux from another linux system. (I use qt-fsarchiver from my MxLinux).Anyway there are other possibilities to backup and restore.

Hardware / Question About Arc A750

Last post by Ze_Mind - December 21, 2024, 01:40:17 AM

I am not sure on Intel's Arc side of things. I ever used NVIDIA and AMD/ATI graphic cards.

Does the Intel Arc A750 have Linux, in this case Debian, support for these cards?

I plan to build a new system, next month, and this card looks rather good.

I'm just not sure it is supported. A few of my friends say it is. But being I'll be using Sparky, I think you would know better.

But, they have been out for a good 2 years, so it's gotta have its bugs ironed out.

Any of you know this? Or own one yourself?

Never mind..

[...] You can do whatever you want.

It is more than evident, that I am going to do whatever I want about it.  Do you get it, now? 

Wow, we've got a Drama Queen !!

Please mind your own business, or call a 'buahhAmbulance' and tell them about your shitty dramas.

OTOH, I don't give a damn about your crappy opinions.

I been on these forums for a good 1.5 years, but umm, I wanted to go the Arch way halfway in. I got too many problems that no one can answer. Endeavour forums, KDE forums, etc. Weird, I know.

I want to go back home to my roots, and the Debian I knew since Squeeze. I don't need the latest and greatest to be happy. A little more than Stable is fine with me. I'm not a hard gamer or video developer.

So, Hi again? :D

(This will go on my next computer that I will build next month)

It seems that there is no interest in answering or solving anything.

Well, as I said earlier. My mates and I have no interest in donating any money either.

@AXL. I do not have any idea about your person. You can do whatever you want. You can use Sparky Linux without donation as many others do. It is free. pavroo did not keep Sparky Linux live/on track aiming to have any profit from that. He is not forcing no one to use Sparky Linux or he has no forced no one to donate because using of Sparky Linux. Sparky Linux needs our collaboration, effort or our small donation to survive. I think that pavroo deserves our help/contribution for his epic work.

@AXL. You can do whatever you want. You donate or not. By your will. But it is not honestly to spoil this forum,because you had not been able to post some lines on it. You have done 2 times. Shame on you.
