Harvey Gotcha, no, I created my own and seeded it to her privately! I'll seed that one now. Thanks for the reminder!

      Fanmion is that safe to use solus gnome without installing any updates? I reinstalled gnome 4.3...

      It is always a risk to run an operating system without current updates. However, in this case, Solus 4.3 was released in August 2021, and the risk is probably not high. It would be a good idea to update if you are willing to put up with a lengthy process.

      If you want to install updates, this is a method that should work:

      (1) Open the terminal.
      (2) Run command sudo eopkg up. This will start the update process.
      (3) The process will start to download updates.
      (4) At some point, the download process will fail. You will probably get a message something like: "Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 120 seconds."
      (5) When the process fails, run sudo eopkg up again. The download process will pick up where it left off and download more files before it fails again.
      (6) Keep repeating Step (5) as many times as you need to in order to download all the files. Be patient. You might have to repeat Step (5) over and over again, but it will eventually download all the files.
      (7) After all the files have downloaded, the update process will continue to completion without further action on your part, verifying, extracting and installing files, until you are fully updated.

      If you don't want to update at this time, keep checking back to this thread. RIT will eventually get the problem solved and we can count on the Solus team to let us know in this thread.

          Good thing that tomscharbach method works. Chapeau!

          Right now I am enjoying: "L'Impératrice en el Grand Palais de París - Passengers 2021" with some Cabernet Sauvignon while updating both PCs. Today is going to be a good day. 😄

            Tom's method does not work for me, unfortunately.

            I get directly the message:
            Depot information from Solus is up to date.
            There are no packages to install.
            Tried on two Solus machines.

              Did you just install Solus?

              If you are talking about "todays update", its not synced yet (if there is any).

                  tomscharbach By the way, for other people trying to download the ISOs, you can use wget -c (--continue) to resume a partially-completed download. Very handy for situations like this.

                    My last update was two weeks ago. You mean no new updates have been released in the meantime? Hard to believe, especially since we are talking about multiple computers.

                        rothom Last update was on Jan 28th. On Feb 04th there was no update. It means that the last update took place 14 days ago . A new update is supposed to take place today or tomorrow, unless it is said otherwise. Let's be patient, and we'll see.

                          Are we to understand that the problems at RIT from a week ago is still happening?

                            eye4bear That is exactly correct. (there even appeared an additional problem in the meantime, which [I think] has been solved, but the original issue still stands)

                              I just got this from running update in terminal:
                              eopkg-index.xml.xz.sha1sum (40.0 B)100% 663.32 KB/s [00:00:00] [complete]
                              Solus repository information is up-to-date.
                              No packages to upgrade.

                                Yup. No updates/upgrades have been uploaded to the RIT server last Friday or today because the server is not functioning properly, so there are no updates/upgrades available. If you ran the update two weeks ago, you are still up to date.

                                  Then that means there are no new updates available for your system. Last weeks sync was deferred as the OP stated and this weeks has yet to occur.

                                  As of writing this, the RIT issues still exist.

                                  The decision to defer again has not been made and current thinking is for the sync to occur just later than normal, this is of course subject to change. When there is solid information to provide, I will update the OP and reply to the thread.

                                    Update 2022-02-12 00:09:21 +01:00

                                    Sync been completed but RIT issues remain. I advise people to update via the command line using this command:
                                    until sh -c 'sudo eopkg up -y';do echo 'Trying again ...';done
                                    It can still timeout but if it fails, it will keep trying until it is completed successfully so you need not baby sit it.

                                    I just updated my desktop, it took me three attempts, but I succeeded. This afternoon I will try updating my laptop. Thank you very much to the Solus team 😃
