Last post by pawr - Today at 07:27:50 PMHow did you get freecad? from the project site or via debian repos?
Any way, there is NO sparky "testing" repos; use sparky named repos "sisters" instead.

in the matter of fact, sid = unstable
Sparky is based on stable or testing.

Last post by Spike_DE - January 20, 2025, 09:58:39 PMHi Sparkys,
installed Sparky only a few days ago. Wanted to try a slim "unstable"-debian-distro with XFCE.
Unfortunately, SFTP is not available as file-protocol in krusader. Following some web-posts, kio-extras5 seems to be needed, but is not shown in the repo. Only V4: Kio-extras, installed 4:24.12.0-2
Is there a way to get krusader working with SFTP? Thunar works quite well with SFTP-connections, but i would like to use some krusader features for file-syncing.
sys-specs:
> 6.12.9-amd64
> PRETTY_NAME="SparkyLinux 8 (Seven-Sisters)"
Thanks for any advice! :)

Last post by Spike_DE - January 20, 2025, 09:32:20 PMHi,
i'm Lars, using Linux since 1997 :-)
I like fast, lean systems based on debian. Debian is too lame, sid is too bitchy. So I wanted to try unstable ;)
I like it very much so far.

Entweder gibt es dieses Forum nicht mehr

Suche mir nun ne andere Linux Distri--schade!

Last post by nemomen - January 13, 2025, 03:13:42 PMHello Pavroo,
I had followed those verification instructions and in all previous cases I had received such a downloads, which were not contained the warning message, but at present case all the repeated downloads and verification of them arrived with it, as I have copied to this post.
However perhaps it is any unimportant message, because the signatures were always received with "Good signature" status....
I had met with that warning message in different forums, so it is known for other persons, but they are unknown for me, so could I trust in them...and in their solutions...
But I can do trust in your point of view and suggestions, this is why I had started this topic - and what about the other Sparkers, had they met with the same warning message?
Thanks your quick respond.

Sparky applications / Re.: "Installing Hiero..."
Last post by bwblock - January 13, 2025, 12:42:50 AMThis afternoon I came across a post made by niftyprose re. the Hiero outliner (see: https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,5569.msg14836.html). Even though it's an old post from 2020, I had hoped to respond to it as I'm the developer of Hiero and a new/updated version of it (2.x, developed in Vala/Gtk3) is now available. The app is hosted on GitLab and it can be downloaded from here. Incidentally, Hiero now has few dependencies and its binary file alone can be copied onto most any Linux distro and it'll very likely run. Given that's the case, all that would be missing is the install of Hiero's icon to the system menu and convenient access to the user guide from its own menu (you'd have to manually copy userguide.hro to the ".hiero" folder that gets created beneath your home folder upon Hiero's first run in order to properly install it). Of course, users of Sparky Linux can also install the app via either of its two available packages. From Hiero's web page on GitLab, you can choose to install Hiero via either the generic Debian package or the .tar.gz archive. Cheers! - Barry
