sloooow here

No idea wtf is going on with the CDN. For people who still have an issue cancel the update and do this:

wget https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg

sudo mv linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg /var/cache/eopkg/packages/

and then update again.
sudo eopkg up -y

Having general problems since yesterday....

Routing on the Internet is very dynamic and such things quickly affect CDNs. That's why some people notice something and others don't

I had 82 Solus packages (695.54 MiB) to update today and, whether on Gnome Software or Solus Software Center, I was blocked on the linux-firmware package.
Your terminal commands allowed me to fix this issue and after reboot, my computer is now up to date.

Thanks again to you.

I also noticed that with each retry the size of the package seemed to grow:

I also had to use the CLI in order to get the updates to download and install. Thanks for the commands to do that.

Deixei a noite toda e de manhã ainda estava congelada, desisti, e agora estou usando a solução apresentada pelo Harvey, ao qual eu agradeço.

AlphaElwedritsch · 22 Feb

Yes, that's working flawlessly

VTMarik · 22 Feb

Might be a good idea to add the fix to the top post, just in case

PeacheyMcKeitch · 22 Feb

Same happening for me at the moment on a fresh install. Will let it run for a bit and see if it finnishes.

PeacheyMcKeitch Will let it run for a bit and see if it finnishes.

Why?
Unnecessary waste of time.

Use the commands from @Harvey

wget https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg

sudo mv linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg /var/cache/eopkg/packages/

and then update again.

sudo eopkg up -y

elfprince · 22 Feb

I guess we need to run the update with linux-firmware excluded, as the first step, right?
eopkg up -x linux-firmware, and then install it separately as in the above instructions?
