Harvey unlike the bug filer, when I ufw status I get a root warning like I expected. but not sure I got ble.sh installed either, whatever that is. thank god I didn't click the link to find out. that thread was weird 🙂. thanks for getting back.

      Yes the more relaxed permissions do not allow the user to use ufw without sudo, it only allows tab auto complete to function when using bash with ufw. For the record this is the same permissions set by other distributions (I checked). The more restrictive permissions were likely made in error years ago and no one noticed. Nothing to be concerned about either way.

        EbonJaeger ...and Thunderbird will now try to match its accent color with that of your system theme.

        Finally, somehow it looks like. 😁

          I recognized that there are more translations (german in my case) in Plasma

          60 updates (802,53 MiB) processed this week and nothing to report, thanks.

          For your information and to follow up on a previous post (updating Firefox for a non-English-speaking user):
          https://discuss.getsol.us/d/10761-sync-updates-for-week-28-2024/23
          I've noticed a similar phenomenon with Thunderbird.
          Indeed, when the application upgrades to version n+1, we must update the extensions, quit Thunderbird, then relaunch it to see the menus and folders appear in our native language (for example for me, in French).

          As is becoming a new normal, my Plasma laptop had Bluetooth disabled after an update and reboot. As I was able to easily re-enable it by using the thumbpad, it isn't a huge problem, but I'd sure like to see it fixed someday. It's very annoying. Alll four VMs updated without any drama.

            Where did synapse go?! Is there a replacement?
            Otherwise nothing to report.
            Thanks team!
            Edit: I guess it was removed because it's not been maintained for a while. I tried various alternatives with no luck so I guess I'll have to dim some reflexes and get used to the gnome built-in search menu.

              WetGeek As is becoming a new normal, my Plasma laptop had Bluetooth disabled after an update and reboot.

              you mean your bluetooth device not connected on boot? I have similar issue on another distro. Could you connect bluetooth device and after that in terminal systemctl restart bluetooth, does it reconnect automatically for you?

                  Steam will no longer open the library window for me but will only run in the background. Sometimes the library window will pop up repeatedly and show a loading symbol before disappearing again. This also will sometimes cause firefox to crash in the background, especially soon after startup

                  The typical solutions of reinstalling steam and running sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall have not worked.

                  Edit #1:
                  The problem has now evolved. After reinstalling steam yet again (while deleting the .steam folder again) I was able to get both steam and firefox to run at the same time, I thought this was a great success as it seemed steam was again stable. However at this point I could not open any steam games as they would fail to open due to not detecting any valid graphic devices.

                  At this point I reinstalled the nvidia drivers with doflicky and then tried to launch the games again. I thought this solved the issue as my games would now run no problem, however as I tried to launch firefox alongside them I found that firefox would not open due to graphics related issues.

                  So now my computer is in a state where it can either run a game OR run firefox, but it is not capable of doing both at the same time. This happened only after applying the most recent updates this afternoon. I have no clue how to approach this issue.

                  Edit #2:
                  After doing absolutely nothing and letting my computer sit for the past 6 hours the problem has been entirely resolved. I have no clue what has changed but I am happy to have things working as normal again.

                  Edit #3:
                  The error has again returned.

                    Solarmass you mean your bluetooth device not connected on boot?

                    My laptop is on a stand in front of my living room chair, so I usually operate it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I did an update, and afterwards rebooted. When I did, the keyboard and mouse were no longer connected, because Bluetooth was disabled. I enabled the Bluetooth setting, and both of those reconnected automatically. This has happened to me often. As I said, it's only a minor annoyance, because I can use the laptop's thumbpad to turn Bluetooth back on. Sound familiar?

                        WetGeek I have an issue with Bluetooth speakers . I just wonder if the above command would reconnect your keyboard and mouse if they are already connected (just a test)

                          I keep bluetooth off because I dont use it but sometimes it magically turns on
                          hasnt done it in awhile tho.

                          plutuplutu Yeah, synapse does not have any new release since 2018. I didn't expect some people still uses it. I cannot find a fork (that's still developed) to replace it. If you find any, please tell us, we might add it to replace synapse. Also a few questions:

                          1. What is the use-case for this?
                          2. What DE did you usually use this for?
                          3. Does it works on all Solus editions?
                          4. Is it still working as expected despite six years of no new update?

                          Cheers!

                              1. It's like GNOME's search in overview to launch apps or open documents, but with a few quality of life features. What misses me the most is a UX thing: it was far more straightforward, like 2 or 3 times less actions required from me for certain tasks. I can live without it but the muscle memory is strong.
                              2. GNOME
                              3. I haven't tested but it's a gnome app, I guess it'd work anywhere with the right dependecies
                              4. Like a charm, as it has always been
