Sync Updates for Week 31, 2024

Sebastian

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.

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.

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 😉)

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

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

Staudey Yay! Hopefully it will be in a future sync. Been using Vivaldi, but always want to go back to the fox.

Well, it hasn't been released yet by Mozilla. But Firefox updates are always quickly handled by the team (once they are actually released)

Staudey Ah okay. Thanks for the clarification!

Good afternoon, please one day fix the hybrid graphics because I have AMD and Nvidia. I can't get the Nvidia to work at all and I don't understand why, please help me.
I posted this on the forum and there were colleagues who tried to help me but nothing works.

Maxthor Hello friend. If I can give you some advice it is this: if you need help with technical issues you have to be much more informative about what your issues are.

You did not provide any information about neither your hardware nor your software and so it is literally impossible for anyone you help you.

It might help to know what hardware you have specifically, what exact models of graphic cards etc. And also what version of Solus you have installed etc.

And also what issue are you having? Explain what you have done and what happened and so on. And if you want the really knowledgeable people to help you they probably also might want you to provide error logs or something to that effect.

At least it might enable people to direct you towards a solution.

Best regards

After last update I noticed that option in VM View->Resize to VM stopped working for me. Gnome DE.
