Heya folks, for some reason, there is a problem downloading the latest linux-firmware
package update from the stable repository using the CDN. We are still investigating the cause, and exploring potential solutions.
In the meantime, if you are effected by this problem, please follow the workaround that @Harvey came up with:
Cancel the current update if it is running, if needed, and run these commands in a terminal:
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/
Once that's done, start the update again. The commands download the package and place it in the download cache, so the package manager won't try to download it again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The above command is no longer needed. This issue has been resolved by splitting linux-firmware
into smaller packages as explained in Solus Updates for Week 9, 2025 thread
Migrating from a single package to multiple packages will take 8-15~ minutes install time. So do not cancel the update, it is not frozen.
