Solus Updates for Week 17, 2025

EbonJaeger

Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!

The NVIDIA GLX driver has been updated to 570.144. This update addresses an issue that could cause render-offloaded applications using KDE Frameworks 6 to crash.

XRDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) integration with Xfce4 has been fixed this week. Previously, the wrong script was being run to start Xfce. We are now using the correct one.

Security updates

valkey was updated to 8.1.1-4 (@androidnisse). Includes security fixes for CVE-2025-21605.

General updates

The full list of updated packages can be found here.

For the list of currently known issues, see the dedicated thread for it. If you begin experiencing a bug, please look for an issue on our issue tracker, and open a new one if one does not exist.

That’s all for this week, folks! We'll be here same time, same place next week for another roundup of the news!

Hello All,
Unfortunately when rebooting my laptop, the graphic interface won't come up. the screen just display the manufacturer logo (which normally disappear after a couple of seconds). I was still able to open the terminal interface and rolled back to just before the upgrade and my system could boot normally.
I tried again to upgrade just in case but face the same result (graphic interface not loading after reboot).
Happy to share any log you may seem relevant.
Best

Everything looks good on both the Plasma and Budgie editions.

So far so good in Plasma. Small one if you pardon the expression. 😃

Hello,
I've installed the linux-firmware update to 20250410-92-1, and my laptop's network is up and running.
Thanks a lot.

24 Solus updates processed (1,13 GiB) and nothing to report so far.

Budgie is my daily desktop and I use now Discover to process Solus updates, and it works fine.
Except that I still don't receive any notification from Discover when Solus updates are ready, unlike Solus Software.
I thought it might be due to some missing packages, so I installed the following:

- xdg-desktop-portal-kde
- kf6-knotifyconfig

but nothing helps, still no notifications.
Are Budgie or XFCE users experiencing the same problem?
Do I need another package, or even an applet?
I think it's important to be reactive to new updates.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
If I need to report an issue, please let me know.

penny-farthing I use Budgie, but I install and upgrade from the command line so can't address the Discover question. However, I do get the notification in the panel (the bell icon changes colour and when I click on it I get the list of notifications, which includes the one stating that updates are available). Do you get that panel notification?

EbonJaeger

penny-farthing I have a hunch about this, but haven't had time to test it. The autostart desktop file for the notifier has a line to only show in KDE, which I suspect means it will only run in a Plasma session.

No, I do not.

That's exactly what would happen, yes. When XFCE was added we had to update the solus-sc update-checker file accordingly, for example

I understand better now.
Is it possible to do the same thing with Budgie ?
If not, would it be possible to automatically force Solus security updates, without user intervention?
In this way, the user would only have to visit Discover every Saturday to validate other Solus updates.
What do you think about it?

Not a good idea. I don't want a system that performs installations without my consent, no matter how important they are.

EbonJaeger

Yes, one of us just has to find the time to patch the file.

OK, in that case, I'll let you manage it when your schedule allows.
Thank you in advance.

Flawless update! Not a single user with a problem in the poll! 🏆️

unclemez

sharing a screenshot showing fastfetch/netfetch output or system infos after a successful update can talk much much better than words,I think
