WetGeek if you install kquickimageeditor, does skanpage run?

alfisya if you install kquickimageeditor, does skanpage run?

Yes, and I answered the question,"will this work for me"?

I put a letter-size color page on the platen, but nothing happened when I clicked to scan it. Maybe I'll be able to figure it out if I fuss with it a bit.

EDIT: There was also an error message saying "Error during device I/O" that disappeared after a few seconds. The workstation is a fully updated Plasma desktop. The connection is wi-fi, and obviously the connection was good, because it listed my printer/scanner.

No worries on updates (but did check flatpak while I was at it they have updates to)

WetGeek from what you said, two things are happening.
1) Scan button, when pressed, does not skan
2) scanner does not even see a document....unless "no images" means you put a document in that only has lines of characters/type and it does see it(?).

recognizes Epson, sees Epson, talks to epson..but can't print and cant see whatever you layed on tray/platen....makes no sense.
unless it's deps like you said? or driver/plugin...?

I can confirm that this also worked for me, installing kquickimageeditor after installing skanpage.

Justin

I will fix Skanpage right after lunch. I must have had kquickimageeditor already installed for something else so I didn't pick up it's absence in my testing.

the same thing happened to me happened to some guy on another distro forum. although we share 3 letters of our name, this handle isn't me. I only have me.
tells me some popular packages got updated today and I'm not crazy, per se.

sudo requirement for reboot did not persist after 2nd reboot. We're back toreboot now. It worked itself out.

Justin

Fix added, just needs to be merged https://github.com/getsolus/packages/pull/1583

almost nothing to report, 👍️

EbonJaeger I still have the bug with the workspace switcher on Budgie. If I click on the icon of a program in a different workspace, nothing happens. I have to click on the blank space around the icon to move to that workspace. I assume this is a Budgie bug but wanted to note it here too.

EbonJaeger

mbevks There is a fix pending upstream to Budgie that hasn't been merged yet.

Had to do the broken Chromium UI fix: https://help.getsol.us/docs/user/troubleshooting/#broken-ui-with-chromium-applications

This sync didn't pop up for me initially. GNOME Software didn't show any system updates (yes I know G/S and Discover are unsupported and experimental in Solus at the moment. I'm using it at my own risk / discretion). But it also didn't show up when I ran sudo eopkg upgrade. eopkg historyshowed that the repository was updated, but updates just didn't appear.

I was able to fix it and here's what I did:
sudo eopkg delete-cache
sudo eopkg rdb
Finally I checked for updates in the usual fashion and they appeared again.

Darktable fix for segfault cherry-picked.

Axios

No errors it started

99 packages (1,49 GiB) were processed at last Solus update and nothing to report so far.

I just note that LibreOffice made a jump in the numbering of its version: we went from the 7.6.4.1 to the 24.2.0.3.

Harvey

penny-farthing we went from the 7.6.4.1 to the 24.2.0.3.

They changed their versioning system. They went from 7.6.4.x -> 24.2.x
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/

So its not actually a big jump.

As it happens sometims, Firefox freezed my laptop, but during the update... After hard reboot I got a message along the lines of "something went wrong, please contact system administrator". I rebooted, hit e to add the single option at boot. Tried eopkg up but it couldn't fetch files. Tried ping google.com, didn't work. Tried to rollback, didn't work (no network). Then I checked the NetworkManager status:
systemctl status NetworkManager.service
It was enabled but not running, so I started it with
systemctl start NetworkManager.service
and ping was working, hurray! So I could eopkg up and the system was fixed upon reboot. Quite a rollercoaster. Lesson learned: next times I'll check the forum for the update before running it, with all apps closed.
