Hardware / Re: [KDE Version] How to Insta...
Last post by duststuff - April 04, 2024, 03:21:37 PMI just noticed on my Sparky 7.3 system that the 'APTus AppCenter' (accessible through the apps / 'start' menu) has a package called 'Nvidia Settings' (under 'System'-'Others'). If that's also available on your system, it might be worth checking out, if you haven't already. There's a chance that it's only useful if you already have the correct driver(s) installed, but I thought I'd mention it anyway in case it's helpful. I think there are also one or more general Linux packages 'out there' that were developed to identify the hardware of a system and then search online for a matching driver. I haven't ever used one of these, but I've heard others reference them who were facing situations roughly similar to yours.

I just installed SparkyLinux overnight but having issues trying to install WINE. Below are my terminal entries and responses (from info I found on another topic here that is closed). What can I do to resolve this? Thanks!

Last post by djringjr - April 03, 2024, 08:11:57 PMSparky unfortunately doesn't have the GUI screen reader installed, but it can be installed.
Debian already has both console speech and GUI speech (orca) installed out of the box if you press "s" at the start of the installer.

Last post by AxL - April 03, 2024, 06:52:51 PMQuote from: Splinx64 on April 03, 2024, 06:13:33 PMYeah, I solved my problem.
I removed the option to use unstable packages in my Sparky testing system.
And, I found another sid source, removed it too.
After them I didCode Select$ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Now I could install all missing packeges.
Voilà, that was it.

Well, I'm glad you were able to solve your problems.

Last post by djringjr - April 03, 2024, 05:26:01 PMI can make a list of installed packages in the full MATE GUI of SparkyLinux with this command:
sudo dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W > packages_list.txt
After I install Debian Minimum and change the /etc/apt/sources.list file to the SparkyLinux /etc/apt/sources.list file showing the added repositories for Sparky Linux, I can then add all the installed packages that I need to have a full Sparky MATE GUI with this command:
sudo xargs -a packages_list.txt apt install
sudo dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W > packages_list.txt

Suggestions / Re: Text Installer with Consol...
Last post by djringjr - April 03, 2024, 04:53:45 PMSo far, no success.
My next plan is to get the installed packages list, and a copy of the /etc/apt/sources.list file which gives the Sparky Linux repositories.
Then using a minimal Debian iso, install using console speech. The Debian iso asks you if you want speech during instalation, and if so to press "s".
With that I can make myself a talking Sparky Linux, but it still doesn't solve the problem of having Sparky instalation being accessible for blind users.
One step at a time.

David

Last post by djringjr - April 02, 2024, 10:21:35 PMI have done some work on achieving this.
First. I installed speech-dispatcher, espeak and espeakup as what's said to be an install with screen reader didn't install them.
Also brltty the braille device driver wasn't installed. I installed that also.
But still no console speech.
Also now I cannot log in with my laptop that has Sparkylinux on it. Log in says "error", so I am sending this from my phone.
Best regards,
David

Applications / Re: k3b not installable
Last post by Splinx64 - April 02, 2024, 07:17:49 PMThank you for these links.
Of course, please excuse, that I havn't answered ealier. But, on Eastern there wasn't enough time for this.
Unfortunately, none of the methods helped.
But, I remembered, that, maybe, some unstable packages were installed before changing to trixie. I found here a workaround to get one step further.
With this method I could install k3b again.
But this didn't solve my problem to install vlc.
I have also seen, that some installed packages have been kept back.
OK, I know, that isn't an elegant method to run unstable packages in my testing environment. Therefore, I will remove this option again soon and go back to a clean testing. I think, than I can also find a solution to install vlc.
