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, 08:22:24 PMBy the way, I encountered this problem doing an install from the 2024.08 live USB. So it's still in the latest release.

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:

Newbie questions / "testing" vs. "trixie" in sour...
Last post by pgf - September 04, 2024, 10:54:16 PMHi -- new user here, and new to "raw" debian, though I've been using linux for over 30 years, and Ubuntu for much of that time. My question is just about debian release naming, I guess.
I installed Sparky because of the availability of the rolling release feature. 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?
Can someone explain?

Newbie questions / APTus app centre
Last post by Rygor - September 04, 2024, 08:09:59 PMHi all, my first post on these forums. When I open up the app centre and log in all I get is an empty box.
This also happens with the "welcome box" . Any one any ideas please? (See image below)
