Hardware / Docked Laptop, wrong Desktop

Last post by Martin A. - March 12, 2023, 09:29:11 AM

Bug:

When docked with lid shut, Sparky starts with an extension Desktop, regardless of saved monitor settings.
 
There are then no menus to operate the system or make it the main desktop therfore Sparky is unusable and needs to be forcefully shut down.

Other Debian based, live tools I've tested have the same problem, so I understand if the Sparky team can't fix it. Maybe they can get Debian to fix it or at least add a right mouse menu to change desktop back to main.

Thanks.

Sparky Linux kernel / Removing kernels

Last post by Martin A. - March 12, 2023, 09:15:03 AM

Hello everyone.

The mask for loading kernels is not showing which ones are already installed. I tried Liquorix and Xan but there is no list allowing me to uninstall and clean up.
Why is that?
And is there a set of command line instructions to remove all different types of kernels?

I've seen of course "remove old kernel" but it's inadequate.

Thanks

System upgrading / sparky not starting any more

Last post by spark2021 - March 11, 2023, 10:53:54 PM

Solved/Deleted - seems the problem was the update used too much  disk space. After deleting some files, sparky started again.

sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.listMake sure you have sparky keyring installed:

I installed the lxqt sparkylinux, later I tried to update the repos when I saw that bookworm was released, probably that provoked the remove of the sparky ones.

I think you hitted the key no sparkylinux repos

:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb-multimedia.org bookworm main non-free

## Other repos can be found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory ##

:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list
cat: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list: No existe el fichero o el directorio
(File or directory does no exists)

Looks like you lost sparky repos, so show me:

Code Select Expand

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.listAnd, to make sure, have you Sparky 6 or rolling (7) installed?

It's strange...
Make sure you have installed 'sparky-apt', 'sparky-keyring' and 'sparky-info' packages.

Thanks for the quick answer Pavroo,

Should I send your or post here my /etec/apt.sources.list and list.d or any other ile or info to help?
I can tell you that I have not anymore that program on menu I used to install programs,  Forgot the name was APT something?aptus?


First one returns E Can't locate it
E: No se ha podido localizar el paquete sparky-apt   

While the other 2 returns both are installed in their last version
sparky-keyring ya está en su versión más reciente (20200204).
sparky-info ya está en su versión más reciente (6.6~20230203).
