EbonJaeger With this sync, 10% of users on the Stable repository will undergo the Usr-Merge.

is there an easy way to confirm if one is in that 10%?

and to the Solus Cleanup CrewTM these 🍻 are on the house.

      brent ls -ahl / | grep lib If you see lib -> usr/lib then you were one of the (lucky?) ones who got it.

          brent and if you want to know beforehand echo $((16#${$(cat /etc/machine-id): -2})) If the resulting number is equal to or greater than the current threshold value of 26 then your system will not be usr-merged yet

              All four VMs plus my main laptop all installed with no drama this week, as usual. But I was really hoping that the KDE hybernate/network issue might have been solved by now, and sadly, it's still not working.

              If it's still broken in the next update, I'll submit a bug report for it, but I rather suspect that it's a KDE problem, not a Solus problem.

              The error page has a message that says something about not being able to get secrets for the network, and I copied the exact wordage, but was then unable to change to here paste it.

              ReillyBrogan lib -> usr/lib

              lucky!

              Staudey and if you want to know beforehand echo $((16#${$(cat /etc/machine-id): -2})) If the resulting number is equal to or greater than the current threshold value of 26 then your system will not be usr-merged yet

              $ echo $((16#${$(cat /etc/machine-id): -2}))
bash: 16#${$(cat /etc/machine-id): -2}: bad substitution

                    Ok having grey hair moment was like brent but I dont see no usr/lib
                    something aint clicking lost a cog in my wheel..lol

                    Staudey machine_id="$(cat /etc/machine-id)"; echo "$((16#${machine_id: -2}))"

                    103 so no usr merge for me. thanks for the new command.

                    ReillyBrogan ls -ahl / | grep lib If you see lib -> usr/lib then you were one of the (lucky?) ones who got it. also

                    $ ls -ahl / | grep lib
                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 10 15:00 lib -> usr/lib
                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 10 15:00 lib32 -> usr/lib32
                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 10 15:00 lib64 -> usr/lib64

                    I got lib > usr/lib so that means "will undergo"

                    @Axios little confused but hardly care. it's all good. I think w/ usr/lib in that usrmerge devtracker thread I had to create a file and link to unstable and that's probably why it shows me

                          brent I just hate when I get confused..rofl
                          It makes sense now.

                            brent I got lib > usr/lib so that means "will undergo"

                            That should mean "has already undergone".

                            Is this the same system you've used in the usr-merge testing issue? Because in that case your system has already been usr-merged anyway as part of that process. (or was that a different brent altogether?)
                            edit: Ah, just noticed the "devtracker" remark. So yeah, your system has already been usr-merged.

                              Due to the failed usr-merge attempt months prior, I don't think the symlink is necessarily indicative of this new method having selected you as part of the 10%.

                              Instead after updating and rebooting, if /var/solus/usr-merge/merge-complete exists your system has completed the new usr-merge attempt.

                              If and only if that file is present you can check:

                              • ls -l / which should include the following (with different timestamps): 
                                lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    7 25 aug 14:52 bin -> usr/bin
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    7 25 aug 14:52 lib -> usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    9 25 aug 14:52 lib32 -> usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    9 25 aug 14:52 lib64 -> usr/lib64
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    8 25 aug 14:52 sbin -> usr/sbin
                              • /var/solus/usr-merge/orphaned-files should not exist.

                              Please note:
                              If you had opted into the usr-merge manually as discussed in the blog post, you are not going to notice anything different. There is nothing new for your system to be selected for, it is complete.

                                Harvey All I have in that dir is eopkg-Ready and its 0bytes
                                Just curious

                                    Axios
                                    Then you have not been selected.

                                    The eopkg-ready file is a marker file, it is empty. Its presence indicates to the usr-merge script that eopkg is up to date enough to attempt the usr-merge without causing problems.

                                        Successful update on Plasma on physical machine and VM. VM opted in so usr-merge complete but physical machine still waiting.

                                        All good, thanks for the update.

                                        Did a test

                                        created /etc/sysconfig/usr-merge with USR_MERGE_CHANCE=256 on my stable system and I got merged now.

                                        More translations in KDE
                                        Restart and Shutdown menu is now completely translated to German

                                        Panel settings mode, too. No mixture any anymore with english and german

                                        it's getting better and better.

                                        Solus KDE is now only a quantum away from perfectionism 😉
