EbonJaeger

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

This week, Mesalib has been updated to 25.2.2. Version 25.2.0 has a lot of changes, which can be found here.

Secondly, Niri has been updated to 25.08. This update features a logo for the project, screen reader support with Orca, a modal exit confirmation dialog, improvements to the screenshot UI, support for the ext-workspace Wayland protocol, and much more. Be sure to read the release announcement here.

If you haven't seen it yet, last week we had the 10th Contributor Roundup. The awesome folks at AerynOS also released an update last week. Be sure to check them both out!

General updates

The full list of updated packages can be found here.

Everything is OK after this new update on Budgie desktop (12 packages processed).

Just to point out: can you correct the week number of this update in the title of this post (it's week 36, and not 35 as mistakenly indicated).

Thank you again for your continued efforts to make Solus a quality Linux distribution.

Plasma, Budgie, XFCE, and Gnome all good in the VM Lab. Plasma good on Legion (Nvidia), Framework AI, and two all AMD desktops. Need to setup a NIri system in the lab as well.

All good on Plasma. Brave asking for shortcut permissions must be a chrome thing.

Original-Syn

banger Yeah saw that as well. It is a Chromium thing on Wayland.

Axios

All is well

budgie remarkably quiet lately (I know why). my updates pretty small but effective this year.
I noticed

these bottom two categories have not been active too much in polls this very fast 2025.
much kudos 👼 to the devs/maintainers--this is noticeable thank you. Credit is due.

me and one other user (https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/6141) are experiencing a lack of fwupdmgr connection at all. a simple sudo fwupdmgr get-updatesor sudo fwupdmgr updatemay provide the maintainers
some data if it's more widespread than us 2. I know I know like they don't have enough on their plate 🙂. **personally not effected the backup Endeavour installed a large firmware update a few days ago for me; gnome-software never handled this stuff well at all and the Discover-firmware horror stories are plenty at this forum so fwupd package has value.

I noticed that EOPKG is no longer in French, whereas it used to be. Is this a bug?
