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

        Update went fine, but now boot times are like three times slower on Budgie (i was scared it won't boot, but thankfully it still does). It doesn't matter which kernel i choose, lts or current (all have conf in the end now if that was intended), i didn't need to stare into the black screen that blinks few times for so long (also blinking cursor for lts, but no blinking cursor for current if that means anything) before this update that i do now. Can something be done about that?

          Keyboard multimedia keys don't work anymore, e.g. Play/Pause?

          UPD
          looks like it was the app issue

          JoshStrobl ON my side things went cool except that DL hang thing.
          I had to ctrl+c on every package hanging (all those above 7MiB actually hangs)

          Except that ... everything went well.

            Small update: I've checked the Broken packages, I've got a list with 230 entries. That's strange, because I've always updated the System and never got any problem. Anyway I've reinstalled all.
            After this I've tried again with the LTS kernel: no way, it ends always with the blinking cursor.
            With the clr-boot-manager I still have the problem that the current kernel doesn't get selected.

            Apart this things, I'm still trying the System to check if the strange errors I've had in the last days come back after reinstalling all the packages.

            JoshStrobl After update openfortivpn (Fortinet SSLVPN) is not working. Here are a log:

            How can I rollback upgraded ppp version?

                i think ive found a fix, after doing some research ,seems to work here
                sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/default.pa
                comment out the line load-module module-switch-on-connect so that it looks like
                #load-module module-switch-on-connect
                select your default sound output device in the gnome settings
                reboot
                it should stick

                    gscan2pdf broken for me after updates:

                    Warning: missing packages
PDF encryption requires pdftk

                      Lucien_Lachance Alternatively do:

                       sudo eopkg install https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/p/pulseaudio/pulseaudio-12.2-43-1-x86_64.eopkg

                      If you have Steam or wine-32bit installed, also do:

                      sudo eopkg install https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/p/pulseaudio/pulseaudio-32bit-12.2-43-1-x86_64.eopkg

                            Remmina appears to have had total amnesia that it supports RDP. When I try to launch an rdp session from my list of saved hosts, I get a popup that says "Install the RDP protocol plugin first." However, RDP is not on the list of available plugins. (And should definitely be installed, as I've been using it...)
