Harvey You will need to reboot.

I just did that, and tried to start a VM with the same error message as before. I'm gonna try forcing a reinstall of vivaldi, and see if that changes anything.

      Oh, poo. I'm probably forgetting something along the way, but simply rebooting didn't work, then I reinstalled vivaldi-stable, and that didn't work, so I rebooted again, and this time I got the notification that there were files to download. I did another eopkg up, and vivaldi-common and vivaldi-stable were installed. I'm pretty sure I did another reboot after that, but I'll do it again, just to be sure. So far no joy. (Maybe a complete shutdown and restart is needed?)

          Hi all,
          Update was without any issue.
          Out of all the update this year, I think I had to point out 2 or 3 issues in total. That's just amazing.
          And when something happenend, it was sorted out very quickly.
          Thank you for all the team behind Solus, you guys are great.
          Merry Christmas to all.
          PS : I am on Budgie and I have seen 2 or 3 Budgie update on this one as well as libxfcewindowing (which I think is/will be used by Budgie). Anything special with these update or it's just a "maintenance" update ? I am just curious.

            WetGeek Maybe a complete shutdown and restart is needed?

            No, not even that worked. I completely powered down and restarted the machine, but the error message is still the same. Unable to start any of the VMs to update them. I can't think of anything else to try from my end.

                Update went smooth on my physical Plasma system
                Also on my virtual XFCE system

                Thanks guys

                I could reproduce your issue before and it seems to be working for me and others with the fix, so lets start troubleshooting at the beginning.

                sudo eopkg up -y

                If any packages were updated reboot.

                uname -r

                Should return:

                6.12.5-311.current

                eopkg info virtualbox-current
                eopkg info virtualbox-common

                The installed release for both should be:

                release: 342

                cat /usr/lib/modprobe.d/virtualbox.conf

                Should output:

                # With kernel 6.12 kvm is enabled by default and this breaks virtualbox.
options kvm enable_virt_at_load=0

                    Harvey it seems to be working for me and others with the fi

                    Yes! I could swear that I did the equivalent, as in the message I posted, but obviously I must have left out a step. This time I was able to update virtualbox-common and virtualbox-current one more time, and I'm now able to start a VM. I'll be able to update those now.

                    Thanks for putting up with me. I really appreciate the quick response.

                    EDIT: Four Solus VMs updated with no problems. I don't have a chance right now to test Bluetooth on the Xfce edition, because my spare laptop died, and the replacement won't be here until Jan 6. I can't wait to find out if I can connect a BT keyboard to an Xfce machine now.

                        I use the AppImage release of Warp terminal, and it works well. I also use the Gear Lever app(which is actually a flatpak) to manage my AppImage apps.

                              Budgie Extras had an actual update. Budgie Desktop had a patch backported so it is compatible with the new libxfce4windowing.

                                  Updated one of two commonly-used machines and no issue so far.

                                  Also, I took out an old computer the other day that I hadn't touched in I forget how long (a year?). It had Solus on it. Was able to update without issue. I know that's not recommended, but it seemed to work just fine.

                                  Love the OS and am grateful to the Solus team. A Merry Christmas to all! Thank you so much for your continued efforts to offer a computing experience that far surpasses so many other options.

                                  Another error free update. Many thanks for all your hard work, it really is appreciated.
                                  A very Merry Christmas to you all !

                                  Can anyone report on the experience of wayland on xfce, please? I think gnome is too much bells and whistles to my use case.
