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 😉

            Took the test route on my physical machine and all my machines are now merged (stable).

            This is the first time I've figured out a way to capture this image. Usually it disappears from my screen before I can do that.

            This is somehow associated with the KDE hibernation problem I've been fighting with. I preserved this image by taking a screen shot, then pasting it into a Telegram message.

            Then I loaded the usual applications into all the workspaces except for my browser, and hibernated the laptop. When I woke up the thing, everything worked perfectly for a change. Including this image, which is still available. (Gonna delete that message now, 'cause I have no intention to send it to anyone.)

            Part of this problem involves error messages that I haven't been able to capture because the computer is locked while they're displayed. They have something to do with a Plasma browser connection. I'll run though this again with my browser running, and copy the error message to a notepad manually.

              After almost 5 years installed in my PC and use for everything(work,gaming,entertainment etc), Solus has been great and rock solid. Very few issues easily fixed with help from you great people. Just to say thank you and keep up the great job that you do.
