Solus 4 Fortitude Released!

JoshStrobl The world is moving towards icon based systems like android like gui. I think Solus team should give it a thought in future to have a desktop like android or work closely or merge or team up with other teams to bring a standard gui desktop.

+1000 I want a DESKTOP, not a tablet interface (+ you can use GNOME if you like this kind of thing)

No offense , Solus4 went kaboot after installation of DB browser for SQLite and even the login/logout become a nightmare to access of damn slowness. I fixed it after hard power off and uninstalled the application. So Solus4 do have its weaknesses,, a lot of hurrahs may not fit here. Then the system was again functional, i don't know what went wrong but wanted to bring this to community.
Have good day

dostana What's relation between the DB browser problem you faced and an android-like GUI ?
Also, if you experience such a problem it's always a good idea to look at the logs of the previous boot to see if you can find relevant error messages with sudo journalctl -b -1 and if the problem should remain to report it on the dev tracker so someone can have a look at it.

What ever so be solus went kaboot after installation? Now what's relation i don't know as a user my machine got into a snail speed. Then expeculated you guys are well versed with Solus budgie desktop so removed android-like GUI. I know you don't care what i'll be saying this nonsense but after removal of android-like GUI, my laptop never boot to solus desktop, a blank screen with prompt blinking.

dostana
It's practically impossible to understand what you're saying right now...
What "android-like GUI" did you remove and how ?

kyrios Remember when someone tried to put a tablet-touch interface to the desktop? Yeah, that's Windows 8.

I'm talking practical, simply use software center to remove gnome desktop. If you were following previous thread then it kyrio mentioned Gnome desktop as android GUI. For a user, If one install 2 desktops and on login he can choose which desktop to login. I had being practically doing it to get a feeling of budgie that's old gnome2 style.
On uninstall or removal of any one desktop of the desktop. (Solus) to take over next available desktop from next reboot. And this has failed, so my system never recovered.
If you have solution, a fix then talk otherwise it just waste of time to explain oneself in different words. Chau

Budgie relies on the Gnome stack for a lot of its functionalities, so if you only had Gnome and Budgie installed and you removed Gnome (again: how ? I haven't found a way to remove in bulk a whole DE via Software center, so I guess that you removed the packages one by one...) you would have a less than usable system.
The solution ? Log in via terminal and rollback to a previous, stable and functional state

dostana To repair your Budgie DE. run this command in terminal

budgie-panel --reset --replace &

I believe the reason you have black screen at login is Budgie/Gnome use different login - slick-greeter/lightdm-gtk-greeter

Quite simply the best DESKTOP distro (irrespective of DE) currently available in the Linux world, but everyone here already knows that.

The real question: where is Solus 4 Plasma? The notion that it isn't stable yet is, quite frankly, an inexcusable lie or gross misinterpretation of reality on the part of Solus' honored developers. Look, I know you're stressed and might not be seeing things clearly, but I've thoroughly tried them all. Every distro, every cycle, on a variety of different hardware. There is not one Plasma distro that comes close to the present high quality and stability of Solus'. Not one. It's been a daily driver for me since late 2018, and it's time for some official respect!

JohannPopper I think it's time for some official respect from you towards the volunteer developers. We are not stopping you from using it. It will be official when it's official.

CraigMatze GNOME requires GDM to login to GNOME, Budgie works on either.

Justin Thanks for the correction, knew they were different.

Justin Any chance that Budgie 11 is going to have it's own login manager? I just wish we could stop depending on stuff developed on gnome so much.

Fatih19 Budgie doesn't use the Gnome login manager. GDM is only used by the Gnome edition of Solus. Also there is already lot of things to do for Budgie 11.

The more is added in the Budgie 11 roadmap, the longer it will take to have it released... just saying...

technically spoken::

My appreciations to Solus Team, Frankly speaking Solus got me addicted after installation. After 3weeks of tedious testing with different distros to get a snappy and responsive system. I accept Solus is snappy and good for my AMD A9 Acer laptop. Though i love Deepin for its elegance and Gnome DE. But i had to take a U-Turn to Solus Budgie DE and have to accept what team is giving to community is good. I would suggest Solus developers to explore best practices be included in Solus. Stop redundancy and complexity like KDE or other DE make each and every icon or menu meaningful. Live with KISS concept.Chau

kyrios If you're going to rewrite the whole thing, might as well make it good. I wouldn't mind if Budgie is released next year. As long as it's worth the time you've taken IMO it's fine.

Fatih19 Using someone else code isn't a bad thing (especially if it's have the same goal or can be easily integrated). Solus Budgie actually use LightDM for the login manager and we can customize the look for Solus by implementing our own LightDM's greeter later.
