In sparkylinux-2024.02-x86_64-mate.iso, galculator is pre-installed as the default calculator app, which has its last update nine years ago. It is probably out-of-date. Instead, mate-calc is the native calculator application in mate desktop.

I think, the most recommended version for you, is MinimalGUI i686

The issue I have with UC is with the installation of all the extensions, Chrome Web Store included, causing flickering; I have switched to Mozilla Firefox and maybe when Chrome starts losing users will be more than happy...

Last post by Henry1 - February 19, 2024, 09:02:27 PM
Hi Pavroo,

The latest 2 versions of Ungoogled Chromium gave me troubles with the installation of the extensions of Chrome Web Store, Google Translator e Ublock origin; I am on Sparkylinux 7.2 xfce on Hp650 notebook; after flickering the computer freezes and have to exit and re-enter; has anything changed with Chrome Web Store? Even enabling developer mode there is display flickering and have to try 2-3 times before all these extensions are installed; I don't know if it's my problem, is UC or the Chrome Web Store; I can't find this issue on internet and I don't know if the latest version 121.0.6167.184-1.1 has solved this problem.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Henry

Hello to all. Love Sparky Linux. I would like to remove the weather add-on plug in. It is not working properly. I tried to delete it instead it closes the dock. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Desktops / raspbian.raspberrypi.com

Hi,
trying to use Sparky 7.2 on a Raspberry 5, all was going well and it feelts like an easy to use and responsive distro, until I tried to install KDE.

The install fails because Synaptic is trying to get some of the Bookworm packages from http://raspbian.raspberrypi.com/raspbian/ which doesn't seem to exist. Section is rpi non-free contrib main 
I've tried to install kde-full, kde-plasma-desktop and sparky-desktop-kde.
I've been able to install a couploe of packages, Dolphin and Konsole but both crash.

Is this a known issue? (I tried searcing but got no hits.)

Thnaks,
Richard
