brent I'm just going to listen to Solus news from the grapevine and carrier pigeon and the good folks who bring the news here.

Sounds a lot more reliable. I'll just keep checking eopkg, and let you (and the rest of the forum) know if I find any news there.

Given that you (or your ISP) use the "spamexperts" service based out of the Netherlands, if I were you, I'd probably check both my spam folder and my client-side and ISP spam and filtering settings, given I don't hear about issues with matrix registration very often?

Alternatively, you can try to sign up for a matrix.org account via the in-browser element web-app (to rule out the solus package having an issue).

    ermo if I were you, I'd probably check both my spam folder

    I'm not sure what would give you the idea that I don't check. I do that every time. It's possible that you don't hear about issues with matrix registration very often because folks just give up after a while. As I did the first time I tried to register.

    I am thankful that this came up. I agree that a notice should be posted on this Solus Forum by Saturday latest, if there are any possible forthcoming problems with the updates. I drop in to the Element Matrix each day, just for fun.
    I do not see value in using it as the main line of communication with Solus users, since messages scroll up and get lost. Here, a post can be pinned for all users to see, under a suitable heading.

    I believe that the forum should be given the priority attention rather than the Matrix, or Twitter, or Reddit, or ......
    I find Matrix suitable for interpersonal communication, rather than for group notification.

    Thanks for listening! 😺

      elfprince Another option, is to have the updates un-scheduled, but regular, roughly weekly to bi-weekly, and users can tell by their update notifications. This way pressure is off on both parties. 😊

      Updates are Updates I would rather have a solid Update rather than one with issues If its delayed
      so be it Quality rather than quanity.
      I dont think its fair to get your hair in a frazzle when its delayed some but I can undestand concerning
      previous events.
      How when and why should be left up to developers but I agree if it bothers people we should be told for the
      near future.

      Way I see it we get em when we get em.
      Hope I didnt ruffle any feathers.

        Staudey I never installed the Nvidia 470 (can't use it, got the 390) but I got it downloaded and installed this update. So my question is was the 470 bundled into an older Nvidia package? I've never seen a 470 in my updates before. Thanks.

        Axios How when and why should be left up to developers

        Except, it is the developers that 'specified' that updates are to be expected weekly, and starting on Friday. This is why users are expecting them on those days, and are rightfully concerned when they do not show up, and there are no notifications in that regard. 😄

        For your information, I have just update my system Solus with 26 packages (583.75 MiB). This update contained, among others, evolution of the kernel (V 6.3.6-239), of the Nvidia pilot (V 470.182.03-29), but also, Thunderbird, VirtualBox, Gnome-Boxes, ... So far, it seems OK. 😃

          Hi all! Sorry for the issues with this sync. It came down to an innocent change (nvidia-drm) going rogue. On my test system everything went fine, on community testing it went to crap, and we tried running to get it going to no avail. I bumped the kernel and reverted the changes (for now) this morning.

          Context: We're looking to finally bring functioning GNOME+Wayland to Solus and we're busy fighting the NVIDIA drivers.

          Sorry that we slipped on communication, we're working together to determine a better path forward 🙂
