Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup! We have just a small sync today, since we just synced on Monday. Still, we have some goodies for you all.
Our Budgie screensaver package, the lock screen for Budgie Desktop, now supports unlocking the session with a fingerprint. You can add fingerprints to use with fprintd-enroll
from the fprintd
package.
@Harvey created an application to graphically manage fonts from Microsoft. In the past, users would install the mscorefonts
from the Third-Party section of the old Solus Software Center. With both of those going away, some users still need those fonts for work, but we as a distribution are not allowed to package and distribute them. Harvey's fonts-installer
downloads the fonts for you from corefonts, after confirming that you agree to the Microsoft EULA for the fonts.
Security updates
PostgreSQL has a security update this week. As always, be sure to install updates to have the latest security protections.
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!
