3 upgrades carried out
On my main computer Solus_KDE remotely with SSH sudo eopkg up went very well.
On my Solus_KDE laptop with Discover, no problem.
On my surface pro 2 tablet Solus_GNOME with the graphical Solus package manager, no problem.
I'd like to point out that on the 2 graphics upgrades, I disabled standby during installation.

Hello,
sorry, have to write with the Google translator.
This morning I installed SolusOS, after the installation I installed all the updates and restarted it, then I installed the NIVIDIA driver via Solus from the system.
I couldn't restart gin, had to do a hard reset, then the laptop booted up but I couldn't start any programs, all with Gnome.
I then tried with KDE, the same process but after the reboot there was a white screen with the comment "an error has occurred"

Hallo,
sorry muß mit dem Googel Übersetzer schreiben.
Ich habe heute morgen SolusOS installiert, nach der Installation dann alle Updates eingespielt und neu gestartet, dann habe ich über Solus den NIVIDIA.Treiber installiert also aus dem System.
Neustart gin nicht, mußte Hartreset durchführen, danach ist das Laptopzwar hoch gefahren jedoch konnte ich kein Program mehr starten, das alles mit Gnome.
Habs dann mit KDE versucht, der gleiche Vorgang aber es kamm nach dem Reboot ein weisser Bildschirm mit der Bemerkung "ein Fehler ist aufgetreten"

The wheel of my Logitech wireless mouse started to act up after the upgrade to kernel 6.11. Scrolling was mostly not recognized at all, only sometimes, and then only for maybe half a second, after which it dropped out again. I had had this problem off and on again in the past and was never able to find the root cause, only today I thought of the kernel maybe being the culprit. And, well, it was, I booted into kernel 6.10 and the mouse wheel worked again flawlessly.

On Gnome does installing a flatpak still break the GUI?

When I processed the big Solus update yesterday (199 packages, 2.03 GiB), I had to go through the terminal to force a reboot. Afterwards, everything seems to be back to normal, except that the reboots I have to do since display sometimes a more or less streaked white screen that lasts a short time, but then you can log in normally.

I should point out that I am using Budgie desktop.

But I discover that I am stuck at linux-current 6.10.11-303 since 2024/09/22, although the subsequent Solus updates have been running successfully.
So I rebooted my computer and after pressing ctr+space several times, I could see 3 kernels, 6.11.5-307, then 6.10.11-304 and finally 6.10.11-303 with an arrow pointing in front of it.
So I selected the most recent kernel, then after opening an administrator session, I typed the terminal command:
sudo clr-boot-manager update
to keep it.
Will I have to do these things again with the next kernel update?

Also, the Solus update report indicates that Thunderbird has moved to version 128.3.3-205, but the application says that it is in version 128.4 esr (64 bits), is this normal?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    It shouldn't have been required in the first place but apparently it was. Unless you had booted into an old kernel on purpose prior I don't know why this happened nor have I heard of this happening before.

    It probably said something along the lines of:

    thunderbird upgraded from 128.3.3-205-1-x86_64 to 128.4.0-206-1-x86_64.

    You can check the installed version via:
    eopkg info thunderbird

    Installed package:
    Name : thunderbird, version: 128.4.0, release: 206

    Reverse Dependencies:

    Thunderbird itself will report its version slightly differently. esr isn't a version its a branch I don't know why Mozilla decided to append this to their version numbers but they have. 206 is only relevant to Solus's package manager etc etc.

    EDIT
    If you were talking about this

    thunderbird was updated to 128.3.3-205 (HarveyDevel).

    In the gist linked to in the OP that is because that was true at the time until this:

    Cherry-picked thunderbird 128.4.0

    Source: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/11068-solus-updates-for-week-44-2024/22

      Great update as always 🙂 I even get now warning for the battery level for my mouse 😃

      During "update manpage" last upgrade step, I got a black screen. I waited to ensure upgrade process was finished, then did a hard boot. Everything seems ok.

      There is still a persistent bug maybe due to nvidia GTX1070 graphic card and pilotes:
      As commented here, when I wanted to come out from standby mode, I got a permission violation message (screenshot given in the link).

      After some reboots, a second try gives me a black screen with a white blinking cursor

      Globally ok, thanks for your work.

      It shouldn't have been required in the first place but apparently it was. Unless you had booted into an old kernel on purpose prior I don't know why this happened nor have I heard of this happening before.

      I had indeed rolled back on 2024-09-22 to kernel 6.10.8-301 to test hibernation, which was inconclusive. But I thought that with the kernel updates on 06/10 (6.10.11-304), then the one on 30/10 (6.11.5-307) that I would be working with the latest version of the kernel in Budgie, which seems not to have been the case then, but is now after my patches.

      It probably said something along the lines of:
      thunderbird upgraded from 128.3.3-205-1-x86_64 to 128.4.0-206-1-x86_64.

      I found this information in @EbonJaeger 's report:

      You can check the installed version via:
      eopkg info thunderbird

      Thank you very much for this information, as well as the additional information provided below.

      No real issues for me, aside from the temporary GUI reboot issue and a new theming issue with the Gnome System Monitor application:

      Here is Gnome Terminal, as a working example:

      Budgie, Theme: Mojave-Dark

      So! You really got me with this update! I'm a long time Gnome user who was on Solus-Gnome before 2 years ago, but I had to switch to another Distro that time, that named Fedora in the end. It's looking I'm finally back home on Solus. Everything seem to work great, gnome software integrates beautifully, we are on wayland now, LACT is working perfectly. Ptyxis is now my my default terminal (w. nautlus-python) 😃 ... this committment and all! ... great job!

      ReillyBrogan Good morning ^^ I didn't see it on their Bugzilla. To reproduce the issue, well, open LibreOffice and write any character that's preceded by a field shading (! ? : for exemple). It will show as a normal space, even when field shadings are enabled.
