What is going wrong?

JoshStrobl

No more dash to the dock etc, etc.

This is literally explained in the blog post I write. Read it.

Is it possible to go back to the situation BEFORE the update?

JoshStrobl

evert No. If you don't like GNOME Shell 40, the ship sailed on that a long time ago. GNOME isn't changing their mind and until Dash-to-Dock has been updated upstream, I can't re-include it. You have other desktops like Budgie, MATE, and KDE available for use.

evert

OK, Thanks.

Lucien_Lachance

there is a fork of dash2dock, that is 80% useable here https://github.com/ewlsh/dash-to-dock/tree/ewlsh/gnome-40
(download, extract, make, make install iirc)

JoshStrobl

Lucien_Lachance Yes, I'm following https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/pull/1402 actually 🙂 But there is still work to be done so as I noted in the blog post, waiting for a tagged release with it included.

Lucien_Lachance

JoshStrobl im running it here, as i said 80% ...

Is there a way to hold package updates? I want to prevent updating the NVIDIA drivers since they're a pain in the ass to upgrade on my LXC containers (since they require the exact same driver version as the host)

Staudey

VoltaVX There is the -x or --exclude option for eopkg up
"When upgrading system, ignore packages and components whose basenames match pattern."

Of course when there is a kernel update you HAVE to also update the nvidia driver packages that have been rebuilt for the new kernel, otherwise they won't work anymore.

VoltaVX

Staudey Fair enough, I've heard about the -X option, but it wasn't working. Probably because of the reason ya mentioned. Welp, I'm just hoping drivers 470 don't come out too soon hahaha

To be honest. After using the "new" Gnome for a few hours, it works just fine. Thanks.

brent

evert 6 hours after your initial shock you find that you love it! That's the best part of digital discovery.

evert

brent You are right. Thanks.

My update has been stuck on the Libksysguard file for the last 10 minutes or more. It is only 130mb and I am on at 1tb fiber line, not sure yet what to do with it seemingly stuck half way through the update process?

eye4bear

Sorry, forgot to say I am running KDE/Plasma on the current Solus.

eye4bear

After half an hour stuck, I went up and "X" closed the software center and then reopened it and started the update download all over again and this time all 234 items updated fine.

algent

eye4bear Sometimes the update stuck. In this case you just have to kill the process and start again.

That is why it is advantageous to use the terminal for updates, so you can see exactly where and when things happen.
Ctrl-C to 'bug out', or cancel the update command, and restart when things freeze.

In the meantime, I've started using dash to panel while the dash to dock situation gets sorted.

There's a GNOME 40 fork of it that works pretty well.

Junglist There is a nice Panel on Budgie BTW 😉

Scotty-Trees

Junglist would love to see Budgie support dominant color use in the taskbar! Just a handy little extra I love it on dash to dock and dash to panel

uhhmeeyell

Junglist Whoa.. please do tell how you installed the system stats on your budgie dock.

vinoman

Solarmass I left Budgie last year and installed Gnome. Don't care for Budgie.
I have used Gnome 40 on Manjaro and no problems. Solus should not upgrade to Gnome 40 until it all works. Do a better job next time. See you later.

Junglist

Solarmass I'm just used to GNOME. I've been using it for a few years now.

GNOME hasn't yet managed to piss me off enough to warrant switching to a different DE.

Also, my current install is nearly 2 years old and I really want to keep it going, and I don't like the idea of having 2 DEs installed.

If I ever do end up leaving GNOME (I'm not ruling out the possibility of it happening some day), I'd probably switch to Budgie or Plasma.
