Newbie questions / Re: Give me advice!

Last post by jymm - December 18, 2024, 09:58:45 AM

I 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 AM

Hi folks,

is there a reason why the maximum number of CPUs in the kernel config is limited to 8?

No, you are right, it is unpatched kernel, as all sparky's kernels.

Sparky Linux kernel / Kernel src-pkg for 6.6.66

Last post by hwd - December 17, 2024, 09:08:14 AM

Hi 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!

It 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.

[NOT going to do anything at all to solve it]

(please pavroo investigate).

There is an open thread dealing with this issue:

Honestly, I have put the link to DDG (with five thread links [SOLVED]), because my knowledge in this matter is simply non-existent.

Therefore, as I have said, I do not know what you should do. I hope, that someone with more knowledge / skills, can provide you
 the solution to the problem.






Cheers !!
