Installation / Help finding 32-bit variant of...

Last post by Danny4114 - October 08, 2023, 04:04:02 PM

I have an Acer Aspire Switch 10 tablet/laptop hybrid. It has an Intel Atom Z3745 clocked at 1.33GHz, 2GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal memory. I was considering installing Sparky onto it considering the latest versions of Windows and their periodic updates are proving to be too much for the limited 32 GB storage.

The trouble is, my device has a 32-bit architecture whereas the download options I could find on the download page are for 64-bit architectures. As such, can someone please guide me to the download link of the right version for my device with the MATE desktop environment?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

No need to use unstable repos. Debian announced a bug fix for glibc v 2.36-9+deb12u3.

New installed Sparky Linux is affected.
After the last Debian update this bug is fixed. So, update asap after installation.

[....] Is there a way to downgrade in-place to Sparky 7 ?

There is definitely NO such possibility.

You're welcome !!

• security-tracker.debian.org - Information on source package glibc
  
  
• security-tracker.debian.org - CVE-2023-4911

The vulnerability is fixed in glibc 2.37+
In Debian stable (12) the latest version is 2.31-13+deb11u7 witch is vulnerable:
https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/glibc
In testing and sid it's 2.37-12, it must be fixed:
https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/glibc

So MAYBE it can be fixed by updating the package from the sid repos.
