As a result, no "sparky" Firefox anymore...

  Well, in my opinion, it seems that you have some serious problem with the 'sources' that you use:






So, check that you have the SparkyLinux repositories correctly configured:

Introduction / Sparky password issue

Last post by Linuxfan - February 11, 2026, 04:31:03 AM

Having issues with using a password that I want for sparky. Had Sparky on one of my desktops for years and had no problems. It died and tried to install sparky on another and the password part said "too many letters, too simple", etc.  Why can't I pick whatever password I want. This reminds me of using windows. Their way or nothing. How can I use the password and length that I want on my computer. Never had this issue with any other linux OS. Any help?

Installation / Any known problem installing S...

Last post by paul74 - February 05, 2026, 02:36:29 PM

Hello,

I have  a Toshiba Satellite Pro S500-10D (originally delivered with Windows 7), upgrated to 8 GB RAM and 240 GB SSD,   running SparkyLinux 7.8 for a while without any problem.
As i had some problems to upgrade to SparkyLinux 8 via usual process, I decided to install SparkyLinux 8.1.

Installation process rans fine. Without any message.


But as I restart the PC, I get the message "no system disk".

I start another Linux system contained on RescueZilla USB key to try to determine the source of the problem.
I see that the mount point specified for SSD is "/media/Ubuntu" ???????

To be sure my SSD is OK, I restarted SparkyLinux 7 preiously saved onto external disk. Everything working fine !

I also tried to install SparkyLinux 9 and get same problem.

Forgotten something ?
No legacy support anymore ??

Thanks in advance for your ideas and comments.
Have a nice day.

Sparky applications / [SOLVED] Empty Firefox-Sparky ...

Last post by Mémé - February 02, 2026, 05:55:45 PM

While Pavroo said "firefox-sparky" was replaced by "firefox-latest", it seems not to be my case...
"firefox-sparky (147.0.2~repack0)" has been updated to "firefox-sparky (147.0.2~repack2)",
BUT this package is empty, and Firefox-Sparky disappears.
Previous package (147.0.2~repack0) can't be reinstalled, neither "firefox-latest", that can't be found.
Any solution?
Maybe update the "147.0.2~repack2" package?
Thank you in advance!

Applications / Firefox latest

Last post by pavroo - January 29, 2026, 10:33:33 PM

The 'firefox-sparky' package changed its name to 'firefox-latest'.

It uses new profile so make sure you have backup of your settings to restore it after installing new package.
