trying to run this command: timedatectl status as root. It's the systemd service for network time.
I'm getting an error on "sparkylinux-rolling"
please confirm this?
Works fine for me. Why do you run it as root? What the error message say ?
Thank you for the reply, Lami07

I hate to bring this up, but do you have a GTK-2 theme that fixes firefox? I literally can't see form field boxes. The borders are white on white for some reason.
I just retested my problem:
timedatectl status
Working normally now, I didn't do anything. No idea.

Yes. Better system theme is on the list of things yet to do. For now you can grab some nice theme from repo or site like opendesktop.org. There's plenty to choose from.
Great your problem solved itself. Closing now.
