JoshStrobl 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.

        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

        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.

          WetGeek This has been one of the most satisfying updates so far. Se

          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.

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

              @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?

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

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

                      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.

                          JoshStrobl I am unable to reproduce.

                          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?

                              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!

                                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
                                r

                                  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.

                                      JoshStrobl open up NVIDIA X Server Settings via Budgie Menu

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

                                          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.
