It can be temporary, the apt server could be out of service.
Did you try again later?
if not run:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt update

Hallo Sparky-Fans.
heute hatte ich erstmalig bei beim apt-update eine Fehlermeldung:

Das ist neu und ich weiß nicht was ich machen kann? Ich bemühe mich aber bin leider nicht so Sattelfest in Linux, wie es hier eventuell nötig ist.

Danke für einen Rat in dieser Sache.

I may be expecting Debian to drop x.org in 2026, which is complicated.

Honestly, I don't think that will happen ...

Please, check out this thread on Reddit. Talking about the topic, in the near future:

Hello,

I think it is Mate.



Sorry for the late reply. I was busy with something else.

Desktops / Re: Sparky 8.1 Xfce lock scree...

Last post by 2zrfe18 - November 19, 2025, 02:23:55 AM

I found the solution from help on another forum

apparently I could not get xfce4-screensaver installed using sudo apt install, but sudo apt-get install installed it right away and the lock screen now functions as it should.

I am curious though why it isn't installed by default on the image

Desktops / Sparky 8.1 Xfce lock screen no...

Last post by 2zrfe18 - November 18, 2025, 08:54:47 PM

Hello

I have installed the latest stable xfce image on 2 separate laptops both about 6 years old with Ryzen 3500U.

in both cases the lock screen does not seem to function with either the designated hotkey or even clicking on the lock screen button in whisker menu.

I noticed xfce4-screensaver is not installed but I see in the autostart list a "sparky-lock"  not sure if it is related.

I can install a separate screensaver like xscreensaver, but I would prefer to just use the default with xfce.

I have also installed the MATE image and it's lock screen works normally.

BTW, I am very impressed with this distro overall and plan to use it on all my devices.  I just need to get this issue figured out for the xfce version.

Thanks@!

What desktop you have? or what iso image you have used to install Sparky?
