Bricked after update?

throwaway

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Just installed the latest updates can no longer get to desktop.
Just getting a (Oh no! Something has gone wrong) splash screen.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Secondary Monitor stopped working today?
So maybe its GPU?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just got home and will not reboot after updating cause you got me paranoids 😱 ! In Budgie, I was updated vivaldi, firefox, imagemagick, inxi, ffmpeg-chromium, yt-dl, element, t-bird, nano, llvm, appstream-data, and grep.
None of those seem like brickers or light-dm or gdm breakers, etc.
Hope you get some more info.

Update: So I logged into tty and undid the update. Seems okay now. Something must be going on with the update? Maybe others would have a similar issue.

throwaway What packages were updated for you? Can you post output from eopkg history?

elfprince

On Budgie here too; update and reboots went without susrprises.

brent

elfprince yeah I just rebooted the computer and I am fine, too.

On Budgie, small problem with Brave browser. I had to erase the GPU cache :

rm ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/GPUCache/*

and it then went ok.
Restart of Solus uneventful otherwise.
Thanks to Staudey on Matrix Support channel.

Patrice I am running Brave on Budgie, and I haven't seen any issues (yet) after this update. What was the problem? Here I wish to point out that this could have been discussed in this forum, but wasn't. So it is gone in the wind, as in, I/nobody can check into it. Another downside of using Matrix-like thingies for support. 😥

to OP what GPU card are you using ? remember that as of the latest update NVIDIA 390x series was dropped . the 470xx series is the latest drivers supported in the repo. Solus is moving forward and is dropping legacy driivers etc to make way for modern technology.

brent

throwaway mine were all the same except I didn't have android-tools

edit: they just pushed a 'switcheroo' package and a budgie-desktop. related?

Did you run eopkg up (or a full update from software center) ? Because those look like very few updates, did you cherry pick them instead of doing a full upgrade ?

Also, system specs (GPU, CPU, DE at the very least) ?

@elfprince , here is a screenshot of the behaviour of Brave after update :
That's the Solus website.
About Matrix, I find it very interesting, and actually, response to my problem was given in minutes on the Solus support channel. I agree that then the solution should come after in the forum to help others. Reason I post my previous message here as it was about.

Patrice Looks like all is blanked out? Matrix is fun, but it is a one-on-one communication place.

Patrice Just had the same issue, thanks for the info, erasing the GPU cache solved it
