Sync Updates for Week 31, 2024

Phiqu

Sound works as normal on my Budgie (Realtek® ALC887) after the update. Also no other problems atm.

Has the gufw firewall also been updated? Or something related to it? Because it doesn't open for me anymore.

FAb7D I couldn't reproduce it. Did you have libwebkit-gtk installed?

Edit: Just want say that there is no update to gufw or ufw since March 2024

FAb7D

alfisya yes,I have.....if the probleme is only mine, it must be something something of wrong that i have done... thanks

brent

FAb7D you needsudo for most everything ufw-related even status verbose.

edit: I could be eating my words. I'd be shocked if you could open the UI (gufw) in terminal without sudo 'cause like I said you can't do much in the CLI without it.

FAb7D

FAb7D Discovery! In an attempt to solve the previous problem with flatpak I had accidentally deleted one too many libraries: libyuv. Installed and fixed. 🎊

FAb7D

brent It doesn't change with sudo, because when you call gusfw you are automatically asked for the password to switch to administrator.

ReillyBrogan Downgrade the kernel from this command
sudo eopkg it https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/unstable/l/linux-current/linux-current-6.9.10-295-1-x86_64.eopkg https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/unstable/l/linux-current/linux-current-6.9.10-295-1-x86_64.eopkg

Works on me though actually still little problem there (Output Device in Settings -> Sound shows actual output like "Headphone - Alder Like ....." but I can't hear the sound. I have to restart, log out or plug in earphone to my PC).

alfisya

Can everyone that has audio issue, after this week update, comment on this issue on github? The comment should contain at minimum : your hardware specs (inxi -b) and whether or not rolling back to previous kernel, pipewire, sof-firmware or other package helps. Cheers!

What info is it?

Some kind of audio/video plugin for Firefox kept crashing last night after updating - will report back if it keeps happening after a restart. Not sure if this is related to the update or not.

hdansin

Firefox still does not work with hardware acceleration enabled, which I thought was due to this known issue, but this was supposedly fixed in mesa 24.1.5 and I'm still having issues.

AlphaElwedritsch

hdansin I use brave, but I also turn off the hardware acceleration there. It just works better that way.

Staudey

hdansin Seems like firefox 130 will fix this issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1902227
as mentioned here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11533#note_2495626

AlphaElwedritsch The discord package was cherry-picked. This means, it was updated for Solus now, during the week instead of at the next sync on friday. This means, that users of the program discord can run the update command in software-center or terminal now, to get the update for discord.
This is only done for special cases. Discord is one of them.

AlphaElwedritsch

Well this is a weekly sync thread for repository updates. If something is "cherry-picked" it means someone on Solus staff has decided to push one or more packages to the stable repository early instead of waiting until the next sync.

We generally cherry-pick packages for urgent bug fixes or to address security issues. Discord however is... special.

When Discord put out a new version it prevents the old versions connecting to Discord servers and in their infinite wisdom prompts the user to install a .deb package. Since Solus is not a Debian based Linux distribution this .deb package is completely useless and confuses users. So we have to cherry-pick every Discord update to keep it working.

AlphaElwedritsch

Thank you very much for clarifying. 😀

I use the flatpak version of discord to avoid the annoyance (well, the annoyance of having to manually update, not the annoyance of using discord 😉)
