Last post by jymm - December 18, 2024, 11:01:01 AMCheck if os-prober is disabled be default. That has been done as a security measure.
Add/edit the following line to your /etc/default/grub file, then run update-grub.
Change:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
to:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
then update grub.

Desktops / Re: CUPS and evil people

Newbie questions / Re: Give me advice!
Last post by jymm - December 18, 2024, 09:58:45 AMI think it is great distro. It is about the only rolling release I have used without it breaking on an update some software I needed so became a deal breaker. That said desktops make a difference.I have not had any major problems with it.
I use the Mate desktop which has the same battery issue. It seems to be a Mate problem, and I have had the same problem on Ubuntu Mate, Mint Mate, Parrot Mate, Spiral Linux and here on Sparky Mate. the regular icon doesn't give you a value unless click on it, and the added applet keeps not loading or crashing.
The only one I know that has solved that is Ubuntu Mate, which now uses Ayantana indicators. You can use dconf to set the battery to display percentage, time or both on the panel.
I can't answer for the Xfce, KDE, or LXQt as I only use the Mate desktop. As you can see though, the forum is extremely quiet. I am not sure if that is the Distro is so solid or if there are just not that many users.
That said you could always get help on the Debian forum for most problems if you can't find it here, it is pretty solidly Debian with some nice different features. Your experience level might determine if this is the distro for you or not.

Sparky Linux kernel / Why only 8 Cores in 6.6.66?
Last post by hwd - December 17, 2024, 10:26:29 AMHi folks,
is there a reason why the maximum number of CPUs in the kernel config is limited to 8?

Sparky Linux kernel / Kernel src-pkg for 6.6.66
Last post by hwd - December 17, 2024, 09:08:14 AMHi folks,
I could'nt find any sources for the kernel-version '6.6.66-sparky-lts66-amd64'.
Is it just an unpatched mainline kernel with customised version-string or have I missed something?
Thanks!

Forum rules / Re: Changes 2024
Last post by AxL - December 15, 2024, 06:52:58 PMIt 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.
