Installation / Single user
Last post by transadd - October 01, 2025, 11:37:48 PMHi
I still have Sparky versions 6 and 7 on two single user systems and would like to use the same passwords on another. When installing either 8 or 9 which both require strong passwords, is there any way that I can allow weak passwords which is a choice on other single user installations.
Regards john
AxL Thanks for the information, have changed my password as suggested. I have noticed that Debian trixie also needs a strong password, it seems to depend on how a distribution have used Calmares some give the choice of using a weak password and other do not.

Forum settings / Re: Forum Display Errors
Last post by AxL - September 28, 2025, 07:11:17 PMQuote from: AxL on September 27, 2025, 07:25:20 PM[....] The problem can be seen ONLY, if you use the dark themes like ' Alien_Shades' or 'Orangey'
An update on this issue:- It seems that the 'Alien Shades' theme, has NOT been updated, for the latest version of the Simple Machines forum version (2.1.6)
- And, in the case of 'Orangey' appears in the list of themes available, compatible with version 2.1.6 of the forum
(but it has the error, I commented in the first message).
@pavroo
Is it possible to add a new dark theme, which is compatible with the latest version of the forum (2.1.6) ... ??
Thanks !!
Cheers !!

Last post by Splinx64 - September 28, 2025, 08:58:12 AMO, it seems, I have overlooked, that here is wrote about the 'unofficial-multimedia-packages.sources' file. Well, this point is solved.
I don't necessarily want to use LTS kernels. Sometimes it needs some time until the linux-headers support nvidia cards.

Last post by Splinx64 - September 27, 2025, 10:33:15 PMI already today tested the data for multimedia.
Now it works.
There is also a file 'unofficial-multimedia-packages.sources'.
This was not completely filled.
Therefore I entered the data there, as you wrote, AxL.
So I think, my question is answered. I can install the newer kernel. But until now the kernel modules for my nvidia card won't build yet.

You're welcome !!
I forgot to tell you, that if you want to continue using LTS Kernels. You have available both the versions of XanMod (6.12.49).
And the LTS versions of SparkyLinux (6.12.49 or 6.6.108).

Sparky Linux kernel / Re: Are newer kernels with ano...
Last post by Splinx64 - September 27, 2025, 08:31:18 PMYes, at first I thought the new kernel had to have the same suffix as the installed one.
That's why I didn't pay much attention to the post #4.
I saw that there are also appropriate linux-header for the new kernel.
It's a pity that the modules for nvidia haven't been built yet.
With the multimedia part I'll test tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued support
