Solus Updates for Week 8, 2025

penny-farthing

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:

Staudey

MalteJoe Huh, that's interesting 🤔

Citfta

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.

Just copy them into your terminal.

Yay! Thank you!! Everything is progressing excellently now

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

Same happening for me at the moment on a fresh install. 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

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?

No eopkg will see it in the cache and not download it if you followed Harvey's instructions.

elfprince

banger I was suspecting that. Thanks!

Harvey I love your kung-fu, but will try it if this attemp fails again
I was stuck at 10kbps max for that same pkg and on my side the thing is massive, like 1.1GB in size but now for some reason after me insisting a lot like a dictator it's now pulling at 252kbps which is far better than 10kbps and it have moved from 49% where it was stuck to 52%

unclemez

@Harvey method works
I can attest because It's now installing everything, I have hope even if it is now only the 23rd pkg installing
it's a fresh PC so I have great expectations, thanks guys!
Just the concerned Team have to investigate deeply, in my case it was a fresh install and I'm not a noob and know about the forum where I can check but a noob would have been lost would go crazy in a manner like "Solus isn't good..." just because of that, so please investigate deeply.
Thanks!

Harvey worked all day just got home and have no idea why a kernel download was waiting after installing one last night. when that wouldn't dowload I use yr instructions and now I'm fine.
Just didn't see anything in this thread about a new kernel superseding the one I installed last night.

Heh... interesting, unstable:

vs stable:

size is different...
is there any difference between stable/unstable? It's the same server right?

Harvey

WhiteWolf
It is the exact same file.
