Hi,
I have just installed Sparky and fancied the Jade Desktop. However, using Xterm I input :
sudo apt install sparky-desktop-jade
Enter
E: Unable to locate package sparky-desktop-jade
Similarly I get the same message for:
sudo apt install jadesktop and also gufa
Could someone tell me what if anything I am doing wrong Please.
You might not be doing anything wrong.
Looking at https://github.com/codesardine/Jadesktop we can see that it is in active development - the announcement for Sparky was about 50 weeks ago.
As root "apt -s install sparky-desktop-jade" fails as does "apt -s install jadedesktop"
E: unable to locate package.
"aptitude search jade" yields no results that are relevant.
I myself if I was interested would try it out in a virtual machine first. For this specific example the Manjaro version would probably be my first try. If you are newer to linux, to be working on a more cutting edge distro (although it is set up to make being on a rolling distro as easy as possible) and to be using a "geeky" niche and minimal Desktop environment is having to learn two different tasks at the same time.
Hi paxmark1,
Thank you for the reply and advice.
When I have set up Sparky a little more I will install vb and try Manjaro.
I'm not a geek with oodles of Linux knowledge but I have been using Linux for sometime now.
