Desktops / Sparky "testing" XFCE, Samba m...
Last post by LMa - June 15, 2025, 04:04:58 PMHello,
Not newbie on Sparky Linux, i use it since a while with Sparky Linux 6 to begun.
First, thank you for this good version of XFCE, who's really easy to customize for every people. It's not the case on all distributions some time XFCE haven't all methods to customize it, that's annoying.
Recently i bought a new mini PC, an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, so my precedent, that i kept, is an ACEPC with less memory, space disk on nvme etc. But i can compare the OS it's the same only stable version.
My problem is a bit weird, because the new machine have a Wifi 6 Realteck 8852BE integrated i'd needed to use the "testing" iso to install, with the stable the kernel haven't the module to use this chipset so no Wifi. Anyway that's work but any samba shared folders are mounted by the fstab without problem but they never appear on the desktop ?
On the old mini PC they are showed, always. Maybe it's only on the "testing" version ?
Any idea what i did not well ?
Thanks for the help.
Have a nice day all

System upgrading / Re: Gameover
Last post by gdstew - June 09, 2025, 01:16:40 AMThanks for the reply. I suspected that the workload along with other priorities was responsible. I have noticed over several years that the special editions usually took several days or more to be updated so it was clear that they were not high on the priority list. I really like the completeness of the gaming edition packages and I hope that it can get caught up to the others if/when you find some time.

Finally, it has been fixed. And now, works fine and without any problem:
Thanks, anyway ....
Edit.- I forgot to comment that in this case, it wasn't a user issue.
It was a problem with OpenWeatherMap, which is the one who provides the weather data. And, for some unknown reason it did NOT work.
Cheers !!

System upgrading / Re: Gameover
Last post by pavroo - June 08, 2025, 09:44:56 AMI hadn't time to update the Special Edition ISOs, but it rolling edition so you can update packages after installing it on a hard drive.
The next update of rolling iso is planned after Debian 13 stable popups, and then releasing Sparky 8.0 stable.

System upgrading / Gameover
Last post by gdstew - June 08, 2025, 01:54:57 AMWhy are the special editions (I am in particular interested in GameOver) still at 2024.12 x86_64/amd64 while all the others have progressed to 2025.03 x86_64/amd64? Thanks.

Last post by AxL - June 05, 2025, 10:04:11 PM For several days now, the option to see the weather with inxi -w (or also inxi -xxxw) simply does NOT work.Graphic example:
Even using pinxi (the inxi development version) the exact same thing happens ...
Does the same thing happen, to any user who uses this option?
Thanks !!
