Sync Updates for Week 18, 2024

Works like a charm as usual 🙂

no problem, thanks a lot to everyone!
Nonetheless, for my education, what am I supposed to do with those warnings that 'file conflict / conflicted files were not removed' ? Am I to delete those by myself ?

No, do nothing. The conflict resolves itself. 1 package used to contain x file now it does not, that file was moved to another package by completing the update the conflict is resolved.

I'm experiencing very slow download speeds.
Download speed about 30KB/s.
Please refer to below screenshot.
Not on VPN.

May I know if ther's any way to increase my download speed ?

I will like to add that initially for the first few packages, the download speeds were quite decent (around 1MB/s) after which the speeds reduced down to 30Kb/s, it is as though some factor(s) were throttling down the downstream bandwidth after a short period of time.

Thank you.

snowee Are you active on matrix ? For some reason (Why tho) I replied to you on this topic via matrix. In case you are not matrix anymore, I will copy-paste my reply here.

I am experiencing the same slow download speed as you are. Though, I have no solution for you, I did some troubleshooting yesterday with the help from ermo . For me the conclusion is my ISP is sucks.

Try install mtr ⋮

sudo eopkg it mtr

Then run

sudo mtr -P 443 --tcp cdn.getsol.us

See, if there are any dropped packet and where is it dropped.

Another sweet update. If Wind*ws behaved as nicely as this I would never have found Solus.
Well done the Solus Team!

Axios

BuzzPCSOS Yup as time goes by it only gets better. (Lot dead wood they got rid of)
Seems my screen tearing issues magically appeared again I think in just the last few updates sometime.
Dunno why this video stuff is so frustrating. (Intel)
Havent been living on computer lately so not a concern yet.
Otherwise its been happy sailing.

Thank you for your kind suggestion.
Yes I use Matrix occasionally when I need additional help and support for issues.

Will try out your suggestion and will update again.

It seems Element doesn't work for me after the update. The application runs, but there's no window at all. I tried deleting the GPUCaches but it didn't help. Using KDE Wayland.

Disabling wayland with ELEMENT_NO_WAYLAND variable does work.

Great news for the printing/scanning problem being addressed! I think it was the last thing keeping me from recommending Solus to anyone wanting to switch from Windows or MacOS. I'm gonna test it as soon as I can to see if it's solved for good 🙂

I used to be able to go to http://localhost:631/admin to manage my printers. Most of that functionality is gone now. Was this planned?

For example, when I click on "manage printers," I get a website that says "not found."

ReillyBrogan

mbevks Thanks for the report. I've fixed this issue in unstable and the fix will be in the next sync.
