@abimagnus Good to hear and yea, @Girtablulu will be pushing that on Sunday.

@carlberger yea not surprised but good to hear the recompile went fine at the very least.

Summer 2020 is boring and Solus is contributing 😄

JoshStrobl

clauded Savage! (Seriously though 2020 plz just end already)

And now we know who blame for the asteroid impact of tomorrow.
Guys, has been nice 😄

JoshStrobl Lemme know!

This has been one of the most satisfying updates so far. Seven computers updated here, and not a single restart required. (Did you intimidate MIT?) And both Vivaldi and Firefox are properly handling geolocation requests. Once more I can remove Chrome, and not shed a tear. And once more I can watch local channels on TV using either Firefox or Vivaldi.

I'm going shooting with a friend in a few hours, and I'm especially pleased that this update was released so early. I've been able to get everything done here with lots of time to spare. Congratulations on a job superbly done.

WetGeek Seven computers all using Solus? That's like 90% of our install base according to Reddit! 😛

Glad to hear the update is working well for folks.

Oops ... just a small quibble, but it's annoying. On Budgie, when I point to something and then delete it, the area occupied by the mouse pointer does not clear or update until the mouse is moved. An easy way to duplicate it is to run Shisen-sho (kshisen) and point to a couple of matching tiles. I don't need to describe what to watch for, because it's more than obvious.

EDIT: To make sure it wasn't a Breeze cursor issue, I tried a couple of other cursor themes. The problem exists with any of them.

Today's update went through the system without any problems and everything is running Thanks to the Solus team for the great work, I always do updates. I can only recommend sudo eopkg upgrade via the console

Brucehankins

So far no issues, it just works.

WetGeek

WetGeek Note that this does not occur on MATE. I checked that on our media computer.

appmath

Smooth for me as well. First reboot had aa-lsm-hook service fail but my subsequent reboot is all good!

JoshStrobl

@WetGeek I just tested this out under both my systems and I am unable to reproduce. Are you using proprietary graphics drivers and if so, which?

JoshStrobl I am unable to reproduce. Are you using proprietary graphics drivers and if so, which?

Almost certainly a driver issue. My wife's ASUS laptop does not exhibit this problem, and like most of our computers, that one is running Budgie as well. Do you have a recommendation for a driver change?

JoshStrobl

WetGeek If you open up NVIDIA X Server Settings via Budgie Menu then go to X Screen 0, what are your settings for:

Sync to VBlank
Allow Flipping

Additionally if you click X Server Display Configuration then click the "Advanced..." button in the bottom, do you have any of the following checked:

Force Composition Pipeline
Force Full Composition Pipeline

Looking at some Mutter changes that landed after 3.36.3 but that was in previous sync so shouldn't be a sudden change there. It may be related to the nvidia-390-glx-driver update. Once we get the settings, we can see if reverting the 390 for your system specifically fixes the issue.

WetGeek

JoshStrobl open up NVIDIA X Server Settings via Budgie Menu

Sorry, can't find that in Budgie Desktop Settings or in System Settings.

JoshStrobl Additionally if you click X Server Display Configuration then click the "Advanced..." button in the bottom, do you have any of the following checked:

Force Composition Pipeline
Force Full Composition Pipeline

JoshStrobl Either way I believe it is an issue with the PRIME Synchronization

@WetGeek

I could be way off base here as I own ZERO mobile nvidia stuff.

But PRIME does not have forced composition options. You have to do this:
echo "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" | sudo tee /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/50-nvidia-drm.conf
sudo clr-boot-manager update

I only know due to @Scotty-Trees 's past screen tearing issues for which this is the equivalent fix.

JoshStrobl

WetGeek Could you run: eopkg li | grep 'nvidia-390' for me so I can get a list together of drivers for you to install? Thanks!

WetGeek

nvidia-390-glx-driver-common - Shared assets for the NVIDIA 390xx GLX Driver
nvidia-390-glx-driver-current - NVIDIA 390xx Binary Driver (Current Kernel)
nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection

JoshStrobl

WetGeek Try the following (after installation, reboot)

sudo eopkg install http://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/n/nvidia-390-glx-driver/nvidia-390-glx-driver-common-390.132-69-1-x86_64.eopkg http://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/n/nvidia-390-glx-driver/nvidia-390-glx-driver-current-390.132-69-1-x86_64.eopkg http://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/n/nvidia-390-glx-driver/nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases-390.132-69-1-x86_64.eopkg

These drivers should work since they were build against the kernel I rebuilt against OpenSSL, whereas release 70 (which came after and is on stable / shannon now) was the update to it.

WetGeek

JoshStrobl
That solved it. Thanks again for all your help - that was a really annoying glitch!

JoshStrobl

WetGeek Sorry, can't find that in Budgie Desktop Settings or in System Settings.

Via Budgie Menu, not settings. It's a dedicated app provided by NVIDIA.

WetGeek

JoshStrobl Via Budgie Menu, not settings.

Sorry, I took Budgie menu to mean the default menu in Budgie. I need to install Budgie Menu and familiarize myself with it. Sounds interesting.
