Installation / Instalacion

Last post by ppl1952 - September 07, 2025, 03:37:32 AM

Buenas noches. Le agradeceria mucho si me pudiera ayudar con el siguiente problema: Cuando trato de hacer una instalacion nueva de sparky-8 stable, basado en debian trixie, la imagen de instalacion (que esta instalada mediante el comando DD en una usb) no arranca y pone un mensaje de que se debe a problemas con el driver nouveau. Posteriormente trate de nuevo pulsando e y agregue nomodeset al final de la linea que comienza con linux. Pude abrir la iso e instalar sparky 8 en un disco ssd de mi sistema Dell xps8930, pero la unica resolucion de pantalla que me sale es muy grande la letra para mi display 4k. Pudieran , por favor, aconsejarme algo para corregir esto? Muchas gracias por su posible ayuda.

Noticed a problem with Palemoon 33.8.2 when installed on sparky 8.0 xfce and minimalgui when launched it crashes pretty much immediately. The particularly odd part, at least to my mind is that when it crashes it logs out the user

Applications / Sparky won't install iso creat...

Last post by jnwright - September 01, 2025, 10:58:19 PM

I created a backup .iso file of my Sparky 8.0 system.
Then I used the USB Imager app to burn the .iso file
to a USB.
Then I tried to install it to a newly created ext4 partition.
It looks like the installation is going to complete but at
the last it displays a black screen with the message:

[0.073297] x86/cpu: SGX disabled or unsupported by BIOS.

BusyBox v1.37.0 (Debian 1:1.37.0-6+b3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Remastering / BUG in SparkyBackup in /etc/gr...

Last post by mrebello - September 01, 2025, 07:20:39 PM

In backupsystem, then part: (line 491)

cat $WORKDIR/tmpusers | while read LINE;
do
   echo $LINE | xargs -i sed -e 's/,{}//g' $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group > $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new1
   echo $LINE | xargs -i sed -e 's/{},//g' $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new1> $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new2
   echo $LINE | xargs -i sed -e 's/{}//g' $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new2 > $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group
   rm -rf $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new1 $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group.new2
   #grep 'autologin' /etc/group >> $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/group
done


doesn't work for a user named 'x'. It's stripping all the 'x's' from the file, leaving a group 'Debian-eim' instead of 'Debian-exim' and 'proy' instead of 'proxy'.

Nope, still does it with tpm_tis.disable=1 as a boot parameter on grub. Any more ideas?

  I'm sorry, but I think I've made a mistake with the value.

Could you try again by changing the value?  ->  tpm_tis.interrupts=0

[....] So far I found out that there is a boot up loading service that gets stuck in loading at boot.

  Have you tried disabling TPM completely?

To disable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the kernel command line, you can add the parameter tpm_tis.disable=1 to your bootloader configuration.
 This will prevent the TPM module from loading during the boot process.

This is a feature to know if the cap and num lock is on in Mate. Here are the instructions to turn it on or off.

I know this topic is old, but this might help people that don't have the led lights to know if the cap and num locks are on  or off.
