Last post by AxL - September 07, 2024, 02:13:09 PMQuote from: lukand on June 13, 2024, 01:26:53 PMWould 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.

Last post by AxL - September 07, 2024, 01:56:30 PMQuote from: pgf on September 04, 2024, 10:54:16 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 ...
Quote from: pgf on September 04, 2024, 10:54:16 PM[....] 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 PMHello,
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.

Sparky applications / Re: weird anacron issue
Last post by pgf - September 05, 2024, 04:39:33 PMI think this is the same bug that's been discussed for a different distro, over here:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5096
It seems that the live install does a "diversion" of anacron, and replaces it with a symlink to /bin/true, and I'm guessing that that doesn't get cleaned up properly.
Running the command:
It seems that the live install leaves behind a debian "diversion" of /usr/sbin/anacron, which causes it to install the anacron binary to /usr/sbin/anacron.orig.anacron instead.
I only partly understand all of this, but I think this will work:
To fix this, first:
If anacron was already installed, then instead, you'll need to move the anacron binary to its proper place:
