Yes all is well and I have working audio now without having to downgrade kernel

I've been so busy this week that I only just now got a chance to install this update. Although it's a small one, something in it seems to have fixed all the mysterious problems I had with hibernating and Bluetooth last week.

I've only installed it on my main laptop so far, but I'm hopeful. I updated, started 10 or so applications on their virtual desktops, and then hibernated. When I woke up the laptop, everything was exactly as it should be. And there were no issues with Bluetooth, either.

So, a lot of crap fixed, apparently, and I've given up my plans to do a system re-installation out of desperation. Hoping that the rest of my upgrades work as well! Later ...

    WetGeek I've only installed it on my main laptop so far, but I'm hopeful.

    My Xfce laptop and all four Solus VMs are done now. And likewise, no new issues at all.

    Before I started this message, I had filled the virtual desktops with their usual applications, and after typing that first sentence above, I hibernated this laptop. When I woke up the laptop to finish the message, everything worked perfectly. So I'm very happy this morning.

    And it's only an hour until the Formula 1 qualifications will start. Wheeee!

        now that's a day off to a good start 🙂

          After update and reboot my laptop got stuck on a load of Warning: dracut-initqueue: timeout messages and a flashing screen.
          Fixed it by changing the BIOS setting for my SSD from RAID to AHCI and everything was well again with the minimum of fault finding.
          Update on Solus Plasma using Discover which also updated the BIOS the day before.
          This could have been down to the new kernel handling my hard drive in a different way or the BIOS update messing with some settings. My laptop certainly started fine with an updated BIOS and failed after the update.
          I hope this helps anyone else with a similar issue.

          Seems less CPU use and lighter on RAM on my 2008 machine. Must be the new kernel. Also took a risk in installing NVIDIA 470 drivers for my video card which wouldn't boot before, now all ok.

          Fine and dandy on Plasma.
          I may try out driver 560. I didn't had any luck with 555.

          I used Solus some years ago and really enjoyed it until one update crashed the os completely. So I used other distro's for a few years and only came back to Solus recently. It's still the best to use in my opinion.
          The update was taking place in the background as usual when my computer just shut off. It came back but now there is no dock at the bottom
          Any clues on how to get it back? Thanks

            tectile What desktop environment? If Budgie then Right click on the desktop -> Budgie Desktop Settings -> Create a new panel.
            Click on the panel -> Settings -> Dock mode

              ok thanks I found the dock setting this time. Doesn't go full width but it's usable
