Thank you Pavroo !
Problem solved with a tuto found on Youtube :
1. sudo apt install nvidia-detect linux-headers-amd64
2. sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree
Long live Sparky :) !

Would it be possible to add the software mentioned above? It is included in PCLinuxOS, so why not to do the same for SparkyLinux?

  With the huge amount of 'Libre Software' for viewing and editing images available on GNU/Linux.

 I find the request for this proprietary software, totally inappropriate.

[....] the SparkyLinux download links on sourceforge. It seems that the last 32-bit (i686) version is 5.0, v2.0 for i386.

Newbie questions / Re: "testing" vs. "trixie" in ...

Last post by AxL - September 07, 2024, 01:56:30 PM

[....]I installed Sparky because of the availability of the rolling release feature.

On the SparkyLinux downloads page itself, you can see that Sparkyinux 8 Seven-Sisters is listed as (Semi-)Rolling.
... Based on Debian testing branch ...

[....]  It's all installed okay, but I'm curious about the contents of sources.list.  I think I read that using "testing" as the tag would keep me permanently on testing, but using "trixie" would cause me to migrate to stable when trixie is...  frozen?

  If you always want to help test the testing release, use 'testing'.

 If you are tracking trixie and want to stay with it from testing to end of life, use 'trixie'

Hardware / Nvidia driver installation : i...

Last post by Tman - September 06, 2024, 10:38:39 PM

Hello,
I just installed Sparky 8 Xfce.
I would like to know how to install the latest Nvidia driver.
In Terminal, I typed the following :
sudo apt install nvidia-detect
sudo nvidia-detect
sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings
After these actions, I rebooted and after the display of the grub, I got a black screen.
Nothing else !
Cannot do anything else since nothing on the screen !
Please give me the procedure for this Nvidia driver installation.
Thank you for your kind assistance.
