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 😃

                            I did it with about 12 attempts but i will not complain, it's saturday and i have lots of time 🙂

                            Thanks for the updates.

                            The command until sh -c 'sudo eopkg up -y';do echo 'Trying again ...';done worked perfectly. Thanks for giving us a way to automate the "pete and repeat" process. Desktop updated in four repeats, I won't bother with the laptop right now because I don't plan to use it until March. By then, RIT should be working.
