Holy smokes that was a big update. Which was fun, being I am traveling an the internet speed I have is not the best. Everything worked great on Plasma!

All good on my Core 2 Duo bare metal will test soon on i5 metal.

comradegodzilla

Went well on my X1 carbon. Thanks!

RexFactorem

Now I've learned to wait to test my workflow before commenting, hehe.

Everything went well, after a few timeout hiccups (in America).

Thanks Solus team!

ForumPheasant

No issues so far on Budgie w/ amd nor on KDE w/ nvidia. Huge thanks as always!

VTMarik

Just updated and rebooted, firefox is hanging and won't respond to any clicks to where i have to kill it from the system monitor, i can't open system settings, no sound devices seem to exist, and media files won't play

EDIT: Did a rollback and everything's back to normal. Going to wait a bit before trying again.

Cherry-picked v4l2loopback v0.15.3 for kernel 6.18.x compatibility.

VTMarik
If you use that module, you may want to try updating again.

VTMarik

Harvey Yep, that fixed it, thank you

reon

the Zen patch set have been dropped to ease the maintenance burden

Hmm, does the default one (or Solus' default, I don't know) has more or less the same feeling in terms of perceived performance for desktops?

I tried to rollback to before the update, but it failed as well.
Any help would be appreciated!

Gregre Try sudo eopkg delete-cache then sudo eopkg up again.

bubba66

All good on the Gnome box and both Dell laptops that are back on Budgie 🙂 (And updated correctly)

Thank you

Gregre

alfisya The update ran smoothly after eopkg delete-cache, many thanks!

I know it's CDN, nothing to do with Solus but still want to report it

All good, thanks for the update.

One minor cosmetic issue with guake terminal - its shows the tray icon no matter that "use-trayicon=false" in the config.

EDIT: Downgrading to guake-3.10.0-25-1-x86_64.eopkg fixes it.
Looks like this is related:

Enable the use of AyatanaAppIndicator by @EbonJaeger in #2200

wingman-4

Yet another smooth plasma update.

asianbullet

All updated well on Intel/Skylake+Nvidia/Maxwell Budgie DE system.
Thanks Team Solus

XFCE and everything is good on my end. Dolphin Emulator is back up and running as normal!

For a few weeks (maybe 3 or 4) I repeatedly have the problem, that eopkg up is being disrupted and I have to restart it. I have to do this about 3 or 4 times and then everything was downloaded and the update is being installed. It's always the same error message:

Wird heruntergeladen 40 / 149
Paket linux-current im Depot Solus gefunden
linux-current-6.18.8-326-1-x86_64.eopkg (238.8 MB) 72%      1.31 MB/s [00:00:50]Systemfehler. Programmausführung abgebrochen.

It translates to 'System error. Program execution aborted.'
It is not the same package that is disrupting it. Internet connection seams fine on my end, I don't have any troubles updating other machines.

Today it was particularly bad (after 9 Tries, not counting one yesterday evening, I started updating in smaller batches):

RexFactorem

hunzel not sure if this will help or be of any solace, but weeks ago my PC wouldn't sleep and had other weird issues, including updates telling me "I had no more space left" for updates. Solved by reinstalling the whole thing.
Naturally, first try sudo eopkg check to rule out there are broken packages.

banger

i5 tested overnight and was ok went for a nap tried to wake from lock screen keyboard woke up but no display. Tapped keys moved mouse no video machine didn't return from lock. Core duo seems still to be up and responding had to hard reset. Thoughts? This is Plasma btw.

stocc

All updated OK, though current kernel download via the CDN was very slow... approximately 260kB/s, whereas other packages downloaded at 8+MB/s.
