Introduction / Hello Guys & Girls!

Last post by WeirdGnome - June 24, 2022, 11:21:10 AM

Just wanted to say hello to all of you! My name is Matty and I'm linux user since forever now. I remember hating Windows Xp because it was bloated so I switched to linux. Now ages and aeons later that same happened to linux world. In the past I loved Mepis Linux that was based on kde 3.5.Then the disaster happened and all the developers decided to rewrite those DEs. Now all the major linux desktops are bloated as hell and gnome isn't even usable. So I started distro hopping and it seems that Sparky lxQt works like a breeze on my thinkpad x200. I use it to learn fullstack programing. I hope you guys have amazing and great day! cheers!

Applications / Re: lightzone error

Last post by bazzvn - June 23, 2022, 03:25:57 AM

After posting, I saw this thread https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,6086.0.html which I think answers my question. So I have just tried 'sudo apt-mark hold lightzone'. I'll wait and see how it goes over the next few days, and if it solves my problem I will mark it as solved.

Applications / lightzone error

Last post by bazzvn - June 23, 2022, 03:02:32 AM

When trying to open lightzone I get this error message: Couldn't link with native library: "LCJPEG
/usr/lib/lightzone/libLCJPEG.so: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

There was an earlier thread in November 2021 in the forums on this issue, https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,5911.msg16098.html#msg16098, and the problem was reported to have been fixed. However, it still persists in Sparky 6.3 KDE edition, at least for me (on two separate Dell laptops). To work around the problem I downloaded and installed lightzone_4.2.4-0obs1_amd64.deb from the Suse Open Build Service. This works just fine. However, this seems to be overwritten every time Sparky Linux is updated (daily in my case). As a heavy user of Lightzone, that means I have to reinstall the Suse OBS deb almost daily, which is a pain to say the least.

So if this problem can't be fixed in the repository version, is there some way I can exclude Lightzone being upgraded (or overwritten) every time there is a system update?

Thanks in advance.

Last post by Cash1972 - June 19, 2022, 11:53:43 AM

Hi guys!

I have a new problem setting my Sparky 5.15. I' ve unplugged the Nvidia Gt 220 that was using Nouveau. What I' ve to do to consume less electricity !!!

I' ve read that the correct drivers is in Jessie edition because Sparky is a Debian 8 based Linux.
My situation appears as follow:

Graphics:  Device-1: AMD Trinity [Radeon HD 7560D] driver: N/A

Linux Ghost 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux   

Is this configuration correct ? The cpu have a chip Aruba.


Thanks to all the contributors that can help !!

Well I tried all related things of the thread you shared to me manyroads, but to the best of my ability it did not solved the problem, wich in my case seems to be related to dependencies due to an update. If I solve the issue I will be posting here, greetings!
