tomscharbach You can figure out what installed today by running sudo eopkg history if you are interested.

Yet another mystery solved. That's a very interesting eopkg command that I'd never needed or used before. It was able to show me that on 2022-10-08 I'd installed a large number of upgrades, but none for what would have been the previous sync.

joluveba Either WetGeek's computers had pending updates

Indeed. That's the first time I appear to have skipped an update when I normally do them, and afterwards forgot all about it. It must have been a very busy Saturday morning.

        WetGeek It must have been a very busy Saturday morning.

        If I remember right, you commented in another thread that you crashed your laptop and were having issues with reinstalling your VM's . Maybe you missed an update in the commotion. Who knows?

            tomscharbach Maybe you missed an update in the commotion.

            I would have done a complete update after re-installing Plasma, but that was probably just before a sync. I was likely still fussing with the VMs when the next update was released. This reminds me that I wasn't able to get GNOME and MATE installed successfully at the time -- I need to try again now. (Budgie and Plasma were no problem at all.)
            ...
            Now that I know about eopkg history, I can see that I did that complete update:
            Operation #2: upgrade
            Date: 2022-09-21 08:31

            I'd forgotten that it was that recently. (I wish I had a memory like yours.) That was a Wednesday, shortly before a sync was released. I know for sure that I was still involved with getting everything on this laptop reinstalled, reconfigured, and trying to rebuild the VMs when the next sync was released.

                Today I got that done. I had to use Solus 4.2 .ISO files for both GNOME and MATE, but I got them both installed onto VMs, updated, Vivaldi installed and sync'd, Terminology installed and configured, and symbolic links created to link the NAS shares to my /home folder. Now I'm finally completely recovered from my laptop crash.

                  I didn't realise the team was so small for this distro. Keep up the good work it's amazing and works perfectly on my low powered Lenovo 120s Laptop. The Budgie edition is my fav by far 😄 .

                  WetGeek Agree completely. I for one appreciate the stability this process brings. I can't count the number of times that a bad update that got other "big name" distros, we completely avoided due to the team's diligence. This is VERY much appreciated.

                    Update: After first tentatively moving the sync date to "later" 🙂 it's now planned to do the big sync on Friday, 14th of October (or Saturday, depending on your timezone and the particulars of the sync).

                      Good work Stu, and good luck.. 😀

                      Good to read, so this weekend is under the sign of happyness
                      Fridat early or late ? what timezone ?

                          unclemez Good to read, so this weekend is under the sign of happyness
                          Fridat early or late ? what timezone ?

                          I guess it will be, Oct 14th in the Americas, Oct 15th in Europe, as usual. Anyways, good news. 😄

                            Solarmass Technically, for my Indian timezone, I have always got the update on saturdays, or on few occasions, friday night.

                              Apologies for the sync being a little late tonight. I'm still getting over COVID and wanted to give the team a chance to iron out any remaining wrinkles from the GNOME upgrade. Cheers.

                                Well, seems like they didnt figure out all the wrinkles..Dark theme not sticking to Nautilus is one..
