Any image file, but gwenview itself won't open and crashes. Yes, Plasma. X11.

    Solus Budgie, AMD 7800x3d, Asrock mobo, Nvidia rtx series

    After sync, waiting 2 minutes, and doing a reboot, my computer hang at the "ASrock" logo.

    Mouse and keyboard does nothing.
    Rebooting several times does nothing.
    Going to BIOS will lead to hard crash, need to hard power off and power on.
    I cannot turn off BIOS quiet mode as BIOS will crash immediately after entering.
    Cannot load my Solus 4.5 ISO from USB stick

    UPDATE
    Reilly Brogan assisted me over the course of 2 hours on Matrix and resolved my issue.
    I am thankful for his help.
    Both my desktops are running fine now.

    For self-reference in future
    Ctrl-Alt-F3
    login on CLI
    sudo usysconf run -f
    sudo reboot

    I tried to sync my old computer which is running Solus Budgie and have not been updated for one month.
    I came across this error message.

    I waited for 10 minutes and my keyboard and mouse crashed. I couldn't do anything.

    i have no choice but to do a reset, and/or hard reboot

    After reboot :
    [FAILED] Failed to start lightdm.service - Light Display Manager
    I'm at a loss at what to do now.

    I lost my 2 desktops today, after performing the same sync.
    Desktop 1 : synced, rebooted, stuck as "ASRock" logo, crashes at BIOS.
    Desktop 2 : synced one month's worth of packages, 329 packages, 2.2GB, stuck at "Updated clr-boot-manager ... running" wait for 10 mins and crashed, reboot and it shows [FAILED] Failed to start lightdm.service - Light Display Manager

    If anyone can help me, please contact me on Matrix support channel. I'm there today.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello,

    The Nvidia driver 555 bricked both of my system with Gnome and Plasma. Just black screen without any way to get to CLI, completely bricked. A hard boot is needed. I then went to do a clean install on both systems and everything is fine and dandy until I install the 555 driver then the same thing happens.

    I have a 1070 (stationary) card and a 1050 (laptop)

      I'm going to try switching to wayland before installing the driver to see if it makes any differences.

        If you boot into a rescue USB and mount your boot partition then there should be a configuration file with two initrd sections. Delete the one with Nvidia in the filename and then reboot.

          Okay. I installed the driver 550 instead, but now the same thing is happening with that driver. So it most be the same dependency package(s) there may be fault. I'm going to try driver 470.

          EDIT: Same things happen with the 470 driver. So now I'm stuck with NV driver at the moment.

            Cherry-picked usysconf fix addressing issues faced by nvidia users. (Thanks Reilly)

            Updated my two posts above, Reilly Brogan assisted and resolved both my issues.

            Thank you.

            Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update solus budgie i7-4790 × 8 16gigs of ram, x11 and desktop becomes unresponsive ( usb mouse and keyboard freeze up )

              knuckle Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update

              For a long time now I've wondered why Firefox users put up with the frequent crashes. Vivaldi is positively boring in comparison. I can't remember the last time there was a serious problem with it.

                  Lucien_Lachance my firefox hasnt crashed since 2006

                  Congrations! Based on the problems that are being reported after nearly every update, it seems there are lots of others who would like to be able to say the same thing.

                  I have nothing in particular against Firefox. It might surprise you that I contribute monthly to Mozilla.

                    We just downgraded the Nvidia drivers to fix user-reported issues causing no display output. Apologies to anyone who was excited about explicit sync but having users be able to use their system is more important.
