System upgrading / Re: Upgrade from 5

Last post by pavroo - November 15, 2023, 08:51:40 PM

To fix sparky key:

Code Select Expand

wget -O - https://repo.sparkylinux.org/sparky.gpg.key | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key
then repos at file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list :

Code Select Expand

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ potolo main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ potolo main
Probably Debian changed its key too, look for it on Debian Wiki.

System upgrading / Upgrade from 5

Last post by jury - November 15, 2023, 07:51:05 PM

I wanted to upgrade my quite ancient sparky to the latest and I found 2 ways to do it:
- https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/upgrade_5_to_6
- https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-dist-upgrade-script/

First I tried to apply the method from the first link, so I updated debian and sparky lists to look exactly as in the first link (copy & paste). But then when I try to issue "sudo apt-get update" I get:

And when I tried the to do an upgrade with the second link method, I get:

Last post by jacatone12 - November 15, 2023, 03:25:20 AM

Find the minimal distro of SL a bit too bare bones. Really like the kde and xfce versions but don't really need libre office and a few other apps. Will using the command line to remove them effect the stability of the os?

System upgrading / Re: Upgrading conflict systemd...

Last post by AxL - November 15, 2023, 02:43:26 AM

For some weeks now there are several packages I have not upgraded for a conflict shown in synaptic.

Completely upgrading would result in a defect package systemd-sysv because the new version 254.5-1 in its dependencies has a conflict with initscripts. The currently installed version 254.1-3 does not have this dependency (or rather conflict).
Updating all the other packages (excepting systemd-sysv) would not result in any defect package but means that the other packages from source systemd would be updated to 254.5-1 while systemd-sysv would stay at 254.1-3. I normally try to avoid having different versions from within the same source package on my system.

Any ideas how to solve this?

  If I remember correctly (since, it was about the end of September), you must remove initscripts and install systemd-sysv:

Hi Pavroo,

I wonder if this is the Github page you follow for the UC's updates - https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium.

Thank you in advance.

Installation / RIL8188SU doesn't work after i...

Last post by jt1122 - November 12, 2023, 08:19:10 PM

Hi,

I've just installed Sparky 8 (7 sisters) rolling.
The machine has a Planex wifi dongle based on the RTL8188SU chipset.

During installation everything worked fine. Now when I login to the desktop there's no wifi connection.
Issuing "ifup wlan0" gives:
modprobe FATAL module p80211 not found

So it seems the module has been left out/no updated for a long time hence the wlan0 initialization fails. But as mentioned above everything worked during installation.

How do I get the dongle working?.

Thanks
