    first time I noticed the flatpak program being updated in a long time. nice.
    good job with the brother printers inclusion as well.
    rebooted, kicked tires, am back at it. thanks team.

    VM and Old Bare metal machine upgraded no problem but for some reason my main machine (2019) with GT 1030 the GLX drivers were replaced Nvidia developers drivers and I got a black screen where the login should have been with lots of weird patterns. Went to TTY checked history to see GLX (565) replaced by developer driver (550) so reversed the change back to GLX driver current and rebooted.

    Can now login normally but no idea why driver was changed. Any ideas?

      Small but nice update without any problems. Thanks

      No problem here with Budgie on ASUS TUF Dash F15 laptop

        Went smoothly. GNOME-SC asked me to restart the computer to apply the updates tho 😄

        Everything works fine on my 4 Gnome Devices . I did the last Update with Gnome Software , as a test , and had no Problems . Update my Flatpaks and install some new , works great too . Thx a lot 🙂

        The update with Discover did not run. It reported an error several times. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot. Under Solus-sc the update went without problems. Should I better uninstall Solus-Sc? Solus KDE version 4.7.

          Exactly this error message came up. I ran sudo eopkg dc. Everything is OK. Thank you very much!

          Updates worked flawlessly on Budgie using the GNOME "Software Center".

            michaelrupprecht Should I better uninstall Solus-Sc? S

            I think you should ride it out with SC...some update in the future Solus will deprecate it then 'disappear' it from your system. I'm sad because out of the 3 GUIS the SC is far superior to the other two. I know the reasons, though.

                Can you post a screenshot or paste of the relevant section of your eopkg history? (the full transaction in which this happened, plus the ones before and after)

                      Here's a doozy. I just updated my laptop running Solus Plasma (i dont know which release since its been a while since i picked up this laptop to play with solus) and I got the lovely and very much not annoying blank screen on login with cursor. Though oddly I can get the hot corner to activate for workspaces, however theyre all blank. So i try some things in the TTY to no avail, but I need to update eopkg to do more, and i get 5 "failed to fetch file" and Hit max retry count when downloading: "https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/shannon/eopkg-index.xml.xz.sha1sum"

                      So for those keeping count, I dont have any means to update, which means i have no means to fix whatever broke after this update. I'm seeing posts about video drivers changing, but I cant scroll up and down in the histories on the TTY console prompt outputs because i dont know how, so I cant go see about the drivers names to switch back.

                      Just for fun i tried again to install the nvidia-glx-driver- current, common, and 32bit. Fails to fetch and git max retry for "https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/shannon/e/egl-wayland/egl-wayland-1.1.17-27.1.x86_64.eopkg" To be fair i'm not sure if my Toshiba laptop even has nvidia drivers.

                      Are the servers down again? I will create a help post if its a more appropriate location for this.

                        brent Thanks for the tip and the quick reply - I will leave Solus-sc as it is.
