General discussion / Question about Sparky KDE ...

Last post by Omnimaxus - April 26, 2026, 08:45:09 PM

Hi to everyone. I tried out the live ISO of SparkyLinux 9 KDE (rolling). There were no desktop animations whatsoever. Is this because I was in the live ISO, or because it wasn't installed yet? Do the animations come back as expected following installation? 0r is this the actual default? Thanks.

Any advise on how to fix this?

  You can use inxi -Na, to find out the driver used by the wifi, you intend to use.

As you can see in the attached image:

I haven't received any updates for two weeks, has anything changed is there something I should do?

I don't know what your problem is. And what version of SparkyLinux are you using, since you don't say.
I can't tell you anything about the stable version, because I don't use it.


But in the 'rolling' (aka 'testing') version, the updates work correctly.

Hallöchen,
Sparky Linux mit KDE Plasma ist wirklich eine tolle Distribution, aber ich bekomme es nicht hin, auch  nur ein anderes globales Theme zu installieren - es kommt ständig die Meldung, dass Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllt sind...?
Wie installiert ihr hier ein Theme ?

Hardware / No WiFi on SparkyLinux 8.2

Last post by eye_sparkle - March 23, 2026, 03:16:02 PM

Hello,

I've tried the live image of SparkyLinux 8.2 and have noticed that the WiFi isn't working. Neither scanning nor other operations of the nm tray are functioning. Using the nmcli still didn't help as nothing were shown on the interface other than "lo" which I can't use either to setup a WiFi connection.

Upon installing the live image onto my disk, same issue stated above is still encountered without any resolution found. My target machine is an ASUS Vivobook with intel core i3. The initial and succeeding boot doesn't have other kernels that can be selected. Same WiFi problem persists after every reboot.

Hence, I'm locked in the said issue.

Installing Debian 13.4 onto the same machine mentioned didn't have the same issue as the WiFi works perfectly.

Any advise on how to fix this?

Thank you.
