Hello, after updating, my user is no longer administrator.

I've just realized that all my groups are gone.

ReillyBrogan

Julien68 does it persist through a reboot?

Julien68

ReillyBrogan
Yes it persists, I just added julien to the groups by making a chroot.

I've just run the updates on another computer, also running Solus KDE, no problems.
On the PC where I had the problem, I did the updates via discover, so I don't know if that could be the cause.

Plasma user here. After the update mouse cursor and moving windows around is not smooth anymore. If I would have to describe it feels like vsync is running with a different refresh rate then the screen or something. Screen is 75 Hz, it's smoother when I turn it down to 60 Hz. Not a huge issue. But a bit annoying.

Some more info. 7840U with Radeon 780M.

Edit: Booting 6.11.7-308 has resolved the problem. I will do some more tests to see if it was just a temporary problem or the kernel is making the difference.

Edit2: Booted two times 6.11.7-309 and two times 6.11.7-308. 309 is not smooth, 308 is smooth.

kaktuspalme interesting. There were only really kernel config changes in the kernel bump, nothing that should have affected amdgpu users, but what DID change was that we updated the firmware. I'll look to see if any similar issues have been reported upstream.

Hello,
I have got an issue with the last upgrade : NetworkManager.service failed wtih an "exit-code" (127). My KDE Plasma doesn't run anymore. I have no connexion indeed. I am not sure that uninstall the package will resolve anything due to depedences ...
Any idea ? thk 🙂

Salamandral
So, i have resolve my issue with a reinstallation ...

ReillyBrogan

Salamandral that's very odd. I wish you had kept it running since we could have gathered logs from it for debugging, but glad to hear it's working after a reinstall

Should actually be the last resort, but sometimes it is also the quickest 😉

ReillyBrogan Hi. Since the change to kernel 6.11 I get black screen and my monitors turn off. If I do Ctrl+Alt+Del the PC restarts. I wrote a post on the topic when the updates then were pushed but got no response. If I boot on 6.10 kernel, everything works fine. If you want to see any logs, let me know. Below are my PC info:
