Goedemiddag Dirk,
Ik heb dus ook een dual boot met Sparky. Sparky ken ik al langer en het werkt goed.
Wat de Belgische politiek betreft, daar moet een Nederlander beter over zwijgen. Maar we zijn toch lid van Europa? 
groeten,

Introduction / hello from the Netherlands

Last post by orfeu - June 20, 2024, 12:52:43 PM

A good day to you all.
Recently I've installed Sparky 7.4 XFCE. I am happy with it and plan to keep using it. For some twenty years I have been using linux in dual or multi boots. The first time (some 20 years ago) Ubuntu and Windows, but I soon discovered that one can do very well without Windows. I have used several distro's: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Manjaro and Sparky. At the moment there is a dual boot of Sparky and Mint.
In recent years my setup always included i3 window manager inside XFCE and Conky. It's a really comfortable way to go about the desktop. I recommend it.
kind regards

Thank you AxL.

You're welcome !!

Code Select Expand

sudo apt --reinstall install sparky-aptus-appcenter sparky-welcomeThis is very useful for me.

Glad to help !!

Have you already tried this other option ... ?? that I mentioned in my previous message:

If you use a different theme, than the one you are using (preferably a dark one)
e.g.- Breeze Dark or similar in KDE and Dusk or something equivalent in XFCE

 Does the same thing still happen to you ... ??? 

Cheers !!

the image says it is xanmod kernel.
Is the same issue on Debian default kernel?

Sparky-aptus-appcenter have all dependencies. I have got all these files installed.

I have reinstalled  sparky-aptus-appcenter sparky-welcome but with no luck.

[....]  one can see from your posted system info by 'conky'.

  Let's see lad.  Because, it seems that you have some visual or reading problem.

The image attached to my previous message clearly shows a ST terminal (aka: Suckless Terminal). Showing the Neofetch output.
So no, it's NOT a Conky

[....] if you would not sometimes insult forum users by them, who don't deserve it.

Seriously, are you in good condition, or do you have any kind of problem .... ???   

Because, seeing a few simple .gif smileys as an insult, is the stupidest and most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

Hi guys,

many thanks to you, AxL, for your additional information about your system and your valuable tips (in your last two posts) to approach this problem, which I will give a trial soon, however presumably not before this weekend.

Of course, NO Nvidia crapola or Intel:

BTW, "to be a little more specific": I do NOT use Nvidia "crapola", but Nvidia "GeForce 6200", haha ... little joker!

That you use a 'AMD Ryzen 5 5500U - AMD Radeon RX Vega 7', one can see from your posted system info by 'conky'.

Moreover, I really enjoy your funny animated Emojies in your posts, I sometimes got a real laughing fit, ...
if you would not sometimes insult forum users by them, who don't deserve it.


Until then,

Cheers, Patrick

[....]  AxL, I appreciate you sharing the extra information on the thread ...

You're welcome !!


And to be a little more specific:

AMD Ryzen 5 5500U - AMD Radeon RX Vega 7



By the way, I forgot to ask in my previous message to the two users with problems.

 If you use a different theme, than the one you are using (preferably a dark one)
e.g.- Breeze Dark or similar in KDE and Dusk or something equivalent in XFCE

 Does the same thing still happen to you ... ??? 





Cheers !!

Thank you, Dustin, for your reply as well!

You're welcome, Patrick. :-)

Unfortunately, I have not yet tested my webcam with Sparky at my PC since I installed Sparky in May, because I use currently the integrated webcam of my much faster laptop (with i5 64bit CPU and Opensuse Leap 15.5) for all necessary apps which require a webcam.

However, I still will check out the 'Logitech Webcam C270' at my Sparky PC and will let you know if I will have any issues with it. But please be patient, because I do not sit every day at my old PC to check out things with Sparky. I do not know yet which programs I could use for that, perhaps vlc or cheese, because apps like Skype are not worth to be used on a slow old 32bit 'i386' architecture.

Understood. Not a problem. In my research thus far, it seems that it could be a kernel-related problem, or it could be because the device isn't getting enough power. I have found that the issue happens less or not at all when I have the device plugged into the back of a desktop PC (i.e. greater power source, I've heard) than when it is plugged into a laptop's USB port. The next thing I'm going to try when I get a chance is to use a powered USB hub -- hopefully that will solve it.

AxL, I appreciate you sharing the extra information on the thread -- perhaps the OP and others will be able to use it to resolve the issue.
