When I last updated Firefox, I got this message:

Newbie questions / Re: How to start sparkylinux-7...

Last post by Sparkyphone - March 27, 2025, 09:25:17 PM

I have found out, how to get into the graphical mode of sparkylinux-7.6-arm64.
It is the command: "systemctl set-default graphical.target". The command had to be executed as root. After the next reboot, Rasberry started in graphical mode.
After having solved this problem, I noticed the next one: No tone out of my USB-Audio-Interface. But this is for the next thread...
Would someone mark the thread as SOLVED ? I didn't find out how to do this. Thank you.

I think, I damaged the second installation by simply pulling out the power-supply, after I didn't find a command to shutdown the Rasberry from the terminal. Now I know better. Holding Fn & F10 for a while did it.
If I start the Rasberry with a fresh Sparky-Installation with a Login-name and a password wich are already set in Rasb.PI Imager, it starts in Terminalmode. I can switch to any directory and can see all the files, but unfortunatly still don't find anything, that would start the graphics modus. I even don't know, if it is possible. It is possible the other way,I know. There must be a command for this.

Newbie questions / How to start sparkylinux-7.6-a...

Last post by Sparkyphone - March 27, 2025, 03:58:20 PM

Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and here is my first question:
1.I used the Rasberry Pi Imager to write sparkylinux-7.6-arm64 to the micro sd card.
Thne I started my Rasberry Pi the first time with sparky. a login screen (original debian screen) appeared and I should write a username and a password to log in. Strange: I didn't create any useraccount before, because there was no opportunity to do this at any time of the boot process.
2.I decided to overwrite the sd card with a new sparky Image on it. In Rasberry Pi Imager exists the possibility to create a useraccount in the installation settings, so my user account will already be included while Sparky OS is written to the SD-Card.
Within the second attempt to boot Sparky I did the login while still in terminal mode.
As a result I was logged in, but only in terminal mode. There was no way to start the desktop. By the way: what is the default-desktop of the arm-Version - xfce ?
- But maybe my mistake was to fill in my login data while the Rasberry is still in terminal- mode, and not wait, until the desktop is loaded.
Rebooting a 2nd time did a new thing: I was asked to do a netinstall of an os to the Rasberry. It didn't recognize Sparky OS anymore.
So: What is there to do, to start Sparky on a Rasberry correctly ?
Thanks for an answer,
Armin

Newbie questions / Re: How to install Wine?

Hi, I had no idea about this command line approach. By the way, is this only valid for Wine?. I'm doing this, but Wine doesn't appear anywhere. Do I need to do anything else?
[....]

Let's see, lad.

The 'install -s' option, simply performs a simulation. To check the availability, conflicts ... etc, of all the necessary packages.
 Nothing more.





So, do yourself a favor and check the documentation. And read the fantastic manual (RTFM).



And if you want to install wine for real use:

sudo apt install wine

I need to install wine and I think wine32, what is the safe way to install wine on sparky? --

EDIT: sparkylinux-2025.03-x86_64-xfce (semi-rolling)

  And, you have already tried, using apt and the official debian testing repositories:





Because, apparently you will be able to install it without any problem.

Hello,

I need to install wine and I think wine32, what is the safe way to install wine on sparky? -- I tried to follow these instructions here: https://wine.htmlvalidator.com/install-wine-on-debian-13.html -- but can't be followed, it will uninstalls many Sparky apps (?)...

Thanks for your advice

Introduction / Hello!

Hi forum. I have been a user of Lilidog (an Openbox distro inspired by Bunsenlabs, in turn inspired by Crunchbang), but that is not going to be supported for much longer and I want to stick with Openbox. I was planning to build a Lilidog clone off of plain Debian when Trixie drops but Sparky fits the bill for me. I would like the option to use the Debian installer before booting into live but Calamares seems to be working ok so this isn't a big issue for me.

 Being an Openbox fan the MinimalGUI is perfect for me to build upon, the minimal version of Lilidog (Beardog) was a bit too barebones so I used the full version, Sparky gets it just right IMO. Looking forward to Trixie..
