Temporary blocking of updates, now unblocked
- Edited
Here I had no attempt with update on last Friday.
I made update yesterday evening and it went smooth.
Here is Solus Gnome with Gnome 46.1
Thank you !!
(Last update was one week ago.)
Hi there.
After my heart surgery i was on rehab for 3 weeks.
So no updates for about 4 weeks are installed.
Is it safe to update now or should i wait a few more days ?
Would this show up as a problem with extracting base-layout? After a clean install and attempting to update..it hangs at that point. while installing updates. Initial install and reboot is fine.. (Budgie DE) After a restart it crashes.

hope your heart is on the road to happy!
should you update after missing 4 cycles of updates?
kinda safe answer: no guts, no glory
safer answer: wait til Friday. I think the crew is trying to iron out one more issue
2 cents to be sure, as I'm not answering as a Dev
brent Not at the same time. After the initial install which works fine , reboots & logins correctly . Then when you do system updates it downloaded about 400 packages, then proceeds to installing updates..it hangs at extracting base-layout...If you shutdown from that point and restart it crashed after login. ...with a frowning computer no less. Perhaps I did wait long enough for that package to extract?? I waiting for 20 ish minutes...observing no activity on the HDD indicator in the time. I can certainly repeat this using the CLI.
Back ground info. I'm doing a virgin install on a computer that was running Solus Budgie from the original version. I decided to "de-kluge" the system So I know it capable of running Solus. Thanks for any help.
From a clean install this failure can happen. There is a workaround though, when the update fails just re-run it before you reboot. The second update should succeed.
What day you have today in USA ?
Is today Friday in USA ?
I wonder there was "update actualization" window popping up today (in Germany ?).
DirtyAngel Harvey cherry-picked some browser package updates to the Stable repository, see here:

Applied updates no issues to report (Budgie)
Keep up the great work!
Finally got the courage to update my main work/game PC. No issues or errors at all. Plasma version. Will start updating the rest and let my friends and family know to go ahead and update. Will report how that goes. Some are a couple updates behind, others are up to date. All are Plasma.

This is the PC for my entertainment center, Plasma, all AMD. I hadn't updated it for about 3-4 weeks due to not enough sun (live offgrid). Just tried to update.

Used this and it is now updating again:
/usr/bin/wget https://packages.getsol.us/unstable/e/eopkg4-bin/eopkg4-bin-4.0.0-17-1-x86_64.eopkg
/usr/bin/unzip eopkg4-bin-4.0.0-17-1-x86_64.eopkg
/usr/bin/tar xf install.tar.xz
sudo ./usr/bin/eopkg4-bin up
Had to also use sudo eopkg update-repo --force
to update my pickle.
Rebooted, seems to be working fine.
