The update did not go quite as smooth for me. Lightdm / x server won't start now. I made a ticket for that here.

Hi everyone, I seem to be having some trouble getting Solus to boot after yesterday's sync. I'm getting that blinking cursor and I can only get past it if I use nomodeset. So once I accessed the TTY, here's what inxi -G says:

Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070] driver: nvidia v: 440.82
Display: server: X.org 1.20.8 driver: nvidia note: display driver n/a
FAILED: nvidia tty: 80x25
Message: Advanced graphics data unavailable in console

I'm running kernel 5.6.4-152.current and I seem to be up to date with all Nvidia drivers. Any idea what I can do? I'm a pretty average user and I don't usually go into the depths of Linux, so any help will be greatly appreciated 😅

    The update ran through fine on my laptop. Everything that worked before still works and the things that didn't work before still don't work (disabled services getting loaded on startup). There was just one tiny annoyance: the file /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.UPower.conf got overwritten during the update and the default settings lead to my keyboard backlight being turned on automatically on every login. But that is a MATE-Desktop specific problem on certain laptops.

    There is some man-related warnings on openssl update progress (unfortunately I can't give a eopkg output), but update was successful.

    Hi guys, the upgraded was great but where is Firefox 78?

      GnuLinux Newer Firefox requires a newer libICU. Because @Girtablulu already has enough Qt5 and KDE stuff to do, I don't want to add more to his plate by having him need to rebase against an updated ICU, so I'm waiting until after Qt5 lands on Sunday / Monday to start that upgrade. So next sync.

        JoshStrobl upgraded 2 notebooks and a desktop, all looking good!

        Solus makes rolling upgrades boringly reliable. Great job by the team!

          Girtablulu Thanks for your reply! There were no broken packages and everything is up to date. I usually update everything weekly with sudo eopkg upgrade

            barbaros83 ive discovered that this happenes every time i lock the screen, or screen turns off after inactivity, so its very easy to reproduce, every time it reverts to hdmi/displayport 3 navi 10 hdmi audio as the default sound output device. just tested and it happens in both gnome and budgie

                After last sync I can't render video in MP4 format in Kdenlive. It says, that videocodec libx264 aren't supported. It was ok before sync, and it is ok now when I use Kdenlive appimage, not package version.

                Everything went fine on all my computers (Budgie inside)...a big thank you !

                Strange. After rebooting for the first time following this update, I get a black screen with a flashing white cursor. I've selected the last kernel and all is good now. I have the following info:
                009:37:01: ~ $ uname -a
                Linux solnux2 5.6.18-155.current #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 11 23:19:15 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
                009:38:15: ~ $ sudo clr-boot-manager list-kernels

                • com.solus-project.current.5.6.18-156
                  com.solus-project.current.5.6.18-155
                  com.solus-project.lts.4.9.208-149

                Is this normal? Why doesn't the kernel 156 load?

                  I had black screen also after a reboot, as it had reverted to the lts kernel after the update and had to pick the current up from the menu on boot.

                  After upgrading three machines, the one with linux-lts installed had the same issue after a reboot it had three weeks ago, which is also discussed here. Strangely the steps from last time didn't work for me, it changed back to lts so i had to manually select current in the boot manager, that's why I removed linux-lts completely because I don't use it anyways (it is a leftover from an installation two years ago, never had to reinstall Solus because it simply never broke and I'm really thankful for that!). I guess thats not the best way to fix something because it only solves it on my end and im sorry for that, I had a troublesome day so I couldn't tinker around. Next time I don't update on troublesome days to solve it properly, my fault.

                  elfprince I am wondering why some of you have the LTS kernel with me only kernel 5.6.18 is installed and so far I have no problems if you don't use LTS I would delete it

                      this booting the wrong kernel thing seems to happen every time systemd is updated, happened to me twice in the past.
                      this time around it didnt happen, turns out i dont have the lts kernel installed anymore, must have uninstalled it last time around
