Sparky news 2024/01

Last Updated on: 3rd February 2024, 10:56 am

The 1st monthly Sparky project and donate report of the 2024:
– Linux kernel updated up to 6.7.2, 6.6.14-LTS, 6.1.75-LTS & 5.15.148-LTS
– Sparky Locker doesn’t start automatically now, but you can launch it from the desktop’s menu
– Linux kernel 6.6 LTS going to Sparky kernel installer of APTus
– Sparky 2024.01 of the rolling line released

Sparky CLI installer changes:
– added xfs and btrfs file systems back to the installer; the last issue did not let you install Sparky on the file systems properly, couse the GRUB booloader can’t be installed on the mentioned file systems. Now, the CLI installer has an option to choose additional ~500MB /boot partition which is autoformatted to ext4, so Sparky can be boot fine.
– added option to not set root password; if so, it’ll be used user’s password instead (means 1 password only)
– autologin setting showups after desktop installation now, after checking is any desktop installed
– CLI installer will install required efi debs from Debian server, if cant find them on the live iso, but internet connection is required in the live session to do so; a popup window let you know that if detect efi machine and missing efi debs

The sparky-backup will create the EFI compatible ISO now, even you did not put grub-efi debs to your home/offline dir; too many EFI machnes on the market now, so cant ignore that.

Many thanks to all of you for supporting our open-source projects. Your donations help keeping them and us alive.

Don’t forget to send a small tip in February too, please.
