Sync Updates for Week 28, 2025

EbonJaeger

Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup! It's a little early this week to give more time for testing Plasma 6.4.2.

We now have separate packages for the LTS and latest release of .NET (dotnet). The latest release is .NET 9, which focuses on cloud-native performance, shipping with major runtime speed improvements, and a new feature switch model. Libraries add LINQ’s CountBy/AggregateBy, upgrades to System.Text.Json, and new cryptography APIs. The full release notes can be found here. Note: Upgrading may cause moved file warnings in eopkg. This is normal, harmless, and expected.

OpenXR has been added to the repository this week. It is the go-to open standard when it comes to VR. OpenVR is already in the repositories and is used for SteamVR; the addition of OpenXR will give users an option to use alternatives such as monado.

Lastly, neohtop is now in the repository. neohtop is a modern system monitor built on top of Svelte, Tauri, and 🦀 RUST 🦀.

Neohtop wont run for me under wayland is the a known known. 😃

Gdk-Message: 00:20:33.112: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

brent

banger looks like a flight panel 🙂

Staudey

banger Try launching it with __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 neohtop

penny-farthing Might help you too, not sure

banger

brent Oh pretty. 🙂

Hmmm dont run in X11 either on Plasma. Goes away and cries in a corner. 🙁

Works in an Unstable Plasma VM must be graphics.

hard one to explain

Harvey

I can not reproduce the issue with neohtop. If you just updated and didn't reboot that may explain it.

banger

Harvey

Rebooted but it happens on two bare metal Plasma but ok on a VM.

Original-Syn

So far everything is looking good on (Unstable) Plasma 6.4 updates across two bare metal systems (ThinkPad T14 Gen1 (Intel) and Framework 13 AI). Will do more testing.

(Stable) Plasma looks good on bare metal Legion Laptop (8845HS / Nvidia) .

(Stable) Budgie looks good on VM.

Solarmass

I tried Neohtop too. I like pin feature and Show details with useful info, like list of child processes.
But the app feels heavy, its 2 webkit processes > 400Mb and high cpu usage when interacting with window.

Good old htop is my favorite, but I want pin feature now

synth-ruiner

Solarmass btop is really good!

AlphaElwedritsch

works well
also neohtop, no issues

penny-farthing

11 packages updated in Solus this day and nothing to report since then, except this.

I had to use the terminal to install neohtop:
sudo eopkg install neohtop
It wasn't present in Discover.
Furthermore, when I launch neohtop, a transparent screen appears under the title bar, and the terminal session displays the message "Failed to create GBM buffer of size 1280x900: Invalid argument." See attached.

Do I need to install an additional package, or is this a bug?
Note: I'm a Solus Budgie user.

banger

penny-farthing

Yes I get that error on my older Core 2 Duo bare metal Plasma.

penny-farthing
Should be in Disocver in next sync.

MetaNorm

Still no graphic signal with Ryzen 9950x IPU. Monitor goes to sleep instead of showing the greeter.

Axios

Plasma desktop and Budgie laptop No issues
Neohtop works on both

alfisya

Regarding neohtop, I see that @penny-farthing has two GPU (integrated+discrete) but I don't know if @banger does too. This is anecdotal, sometimes old CPU with integrated graphics paired with discrete GPU has problem with web-based app (electron, tauri). I don't know how to solve it tho.

banger

alfisya

Two machines with only GT1030 discrete fitted, no integrated graphics on either. One is MSI 7360 Mainboard with E8400 Core duo and the other a Gigabyte H310 with i5 9400F. It would be nice to have but not gonna worry about it 🙂

penny-farthing

alfisya

I managed to open neohtop, here's how:

Enter the terminal command:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 neohtop
and here's the result:

(see https://github.com/Abdenasser/neohtop/issues/101)

You also need to know how to launch this command from the menu; to do this, I use the "Menu Principal" (Main Menu) flatpak application and I modify the default command to run, like this:

and it works!

If it can help.

SethStorm666

This weeks update works great.

Neohtop works as well here in Plasma and Wayland. Could the error be theme related? Try switch theme.

Original-Syn

Testing 6.15.6 from the "unstable repo" update today, and it is looking good on the Framework 13 with the Ryzen AI300 series processor. Running through some testing, and so far so good.

alfisya

Original-Syn Discussing unstable repo should be done in matrix room. It is not really aligned with sync updates after all. It will avoid confusing other people that is not on unstable repo.

ernesto

HI
Everything is OK on XFCE.
Thank's for the job done

Original-Syn

alfisya Apologies, did not know that rule.
