Hello,
The update went through fine on Solus KDE, but.
I have to boot on the previous kernel 6.12.9-312.current, otherwise when the Vesktop application opens, it doesn't appear on the desktop, but is active.
On the other hand, my virtual machines via virt-manager are slow.

No problems here on Budgie 👍️

For me system stopped booting, but boot rescue and reverting the upgrade fixed it. No clue what was the issue

    The bash update this sync overwrites /usr/share/defaults/etc/profile. This removes the code that facilitates the use of ~/.bashrc.d/—added by Ermo I think—for easier management of ~/.bashrc. So the files here are not sourced on opening a terminal. Easy to fix by re-adding:

    # User specific aliases and functions
if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
    for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*; do
        if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
            . "$rc"
        fi
    done
    unset rc
fi

    to /etc/profile, but probably an unintended outcome of the update.

    Apart from that glitch another smooth update on both PC and laptop, thanks.

      Had no problem with the update but ...

      If I switch from the current lts kernel to the 6.12 my system stuck at the bootscreen.

      The error messages I get from the boot screen are:

      Error preparing initrd: Device error
      start_image () returned Device Error

      next is a blackscreen:

      Reboot and Select a proper Boot Device
      or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key

      Have then switch back to the lts kernel and the system is booting again.

        I did the update again from terminal and looked normal, but on reboot it was still broken. This time I was able to get to text mode to revert it, so it's probably something to do with Nvidia drivers.

        Fine ! Gnome

        XFCE-Beta version, X11 = Problem with multimonitor setup. ( laptop + external monitor ).

        Cannot set the monitor to the correct order. Only the "right side" option works, which forces me to place the laptop on the right side of the external monitor.
        It does not respond to manual order setting and finally has a problem with the "main screen".

          Reboot to kernel 6.12.12 give me this same error message. Lucky me, I still have previous kernel 6.12.9 from boot menu and it works. Thought i maybe a problem with Nvidia, but nvidia-beta-driver-current make not different. I will stay with previous kernel 6.12.9 for now.

            Yes, I too have problems with kernel 6.12.12, switching back to 6.6.9 no problems.

            Can someone experiencing the kernel bug please report it on our issue tracker? Thanks.

              Phiqu The link gives a 404 error. I also don't see the issue in the tracker.

              Julien68 You may be able to file another issue? The more the merrier 🙂

                  edit: my GitHub is "marked" and had to send them a ticket.

                  Nah it's working in some way. But git is not liking me. Seems that my postings are private ... but idk how to fix it.

                  My posted issue is now visible. Their algorithm had a problem with my email addess.
