The problem has gone away. I'd just started to look at the reply from AxL and thought I'd give it a try again before doing anything and all was OK.

Can anyone help?

Well, it seems that there is an obvious problem with the certificate:

Code Select


https://de2.repo.sparkylinux.org/
https://sf1.repo.sparkylinux.org/

You can change it in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list

Good luck !!

And here are the images of how repos should be set up:

And finally, a recommendation. If you plan to continue using testing.

Try to keep your system up to date. And at least update the system once a week, so you will avoid problems

Cheers !!

Hello,

I try to upgrade Sparky 8 installed since several months but not used for a long time.

On the terminal, I get :

Code Select

pnp@pnp-k52jt:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign :1 https://repo.sparkylinux.org core InRelease
Ign :2 https://repo.sparkylinux.org sisters InRelease                                                   
Err :3 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease                                                    
  401  Unauthorized [IP : 192.168.1.250 80]

  401  Unauthorized [IP : 192.168.1.250 80]

I try different thing before opening this topic :

sudo cp /usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sparky-linux.asc

and then :

Change the GPG key in the source list:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list

from:
signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key

to:
signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sparky-repo.asc

I also try to inactivate firewall.

But I still have the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say I brought an old NEC Z1 back to life with Sparky. Yeah a 450mhz Pentium 3 upgraded with 512 megs of RAM. I use the machine to play Mp3s to a radio broadcaster to tune in to the right ambiance in my Fallout themed garage bar. Sparky is my new favorite distro for anything light on resources. I adore having CDE desktop as an option. The only thing I'd love to see for my nefarious purposes is to have TWIN desktop as a precompiled option in the No GUI distro. I'd been using BODHI on low end systems before, but Sparky fits my niche so much better. Heck I'm contemplating tossing it on a refurbed HP z820 with 512 GB or ram I just threw together from ebay because I still love that CDE aesthetic on the old super computer.
