Dear Josh. I don't like it when you apologize for anything. You work like a crazy horse to make Solus better and better, nearly every day. All the new updates for years are perfect. So now, after 1.000.000 updates things seems to go wrong. Just a pity. If that's all? Perhaps next time it will be, as allways, perfect. We will see. So chear up. No apologies, keep up the good work.
I know people that do not make mistakes. Most of their time they also do nothing at all.
Evert.
I used gdm and gnome-shell then after the update, my system would not boot into the login screen. Just to the terminal. So I logged in and removed gdm and gnome-shell and re-installed lightdm. Then rebooted again, and it went to the login screen (graphical one not the terminal ). And logged into Budgie. Worked fine.
Later on, I tested it and re-installed gdm and gnome-shell and removed lightdm again. Same issue, booted to terminal but not the graphical/UI login screen. So I had to
sudo systemctl restart gdm
Then the graphical login screen started an I could login on gnome or Budgie.
nodq Right but did you follow my earlier instructions that you were tagged in with the various package installs and get the ones from unstable that have the fixes? The package updates have not been pushed to stable yet.
Yes yes as I said, this works now. I did apply those fixes already. It works. Sorry for not being clear. Still kinda sleeping lol
nodq No problem. I'm just really wanting to be sure this is addressed. So just to have complete clarity regarding the situation now, with a simple yes or no answer 
Question: With the recommended updates in unstable currently, can you boot up your system, reach the login screen, and login via GDM with no user intervention?
Yes Sir
@nodq Yay, that's what I like to hear! (The "yes" part, not the "sir" part, I'm just Josh not sir 
).
I'll get this stuff synced to stable.
Saturday sync has been performed with the items listed here as well as updates for:
New Solus Gnome user. My first big update since installing. I'm in total awe with your ability to respond and attend to the issues re the transition to 3.32. You guys are ridiculously good and dedicated. I was affected by the gnome-shell issue which I spotted on gitlab but did not think it was even worth reporting since it is basically upstream... The latest sync solved the issue afaik 
I'm left with one very minor problem : the app menu in the top bar (disabled by default in Solus but can switched on in tweaks) does not activate anymore - I know this app menu was revamped in 3.32 so maybe it's related to that, but it works ok in other distros... It serves basically no purpose except telling you the app in focus, which i happen to like 
. Any help would be appreciated.
You guys rock, thanks !
axelmeunier Regarding the AppMenu, it was forced on by GNOME Shell with no option for vendors to disable it, so I had to temporarily patch it out. This is actually quite ironic because the vast majority of GNOME app updates in the 3.32 series were to remove support for it and move that functionality into the headerbar.
I'm sorry if that inconveniences you any, should a viable solution arise that doesn't require me to patch out the AppMenu completely, I'll implement the solution and ensure AppMenu is off by default (as it was with GNOME 3.28).
After update cant open Grub Customizer do i need to reinstall ? SOLUS Budgie user.
do i need to reinstall ?
No, but I can't fix the issue unless you provide me some logs. Can you run it from the Terminal and see if it's just missing something (possibly just needs a rebuild).
JoshStrobl Thanks a lot for your response, i understand and I can live with it for now !
The app menu gives the top bar a sense of purpose though
@JoshStrobl
the latest batch of updates that arrived in the last few hours, caused bugs with my gnome top panel
this did not happen before...the clock which ive got on the right has similar issues
edit: the panel fonts are all wrong too, not adhering to whats described in the theme
Lucien_Lachance That seems to be a fairly non-standard configuration. Could you elaborate more on your settings, what extensions you have set, etc.?
from left to right its frippery applications menu, gnomenu (2 entries) and the openweather extension. theres also an issue with gnome shell not respecting the -natural-hpadding: and -minimum-hpadding:
set in the themes, i always edit those cos i want the tray icons closer together, but it does its own thing now and not following the theme
Dug deeper and may be the result of the St changes. Given we've isolated the performance issues down to the GL MaxAllowFrames, it's probably safe for me to remove those patches and just wait until a new point release.
Was worth a shot I guess re. the St patches.
JoshStrobl yeah the font issues look like that, just more extreme in my case
Hi Josh this is the output from sudo grub-customizer
vj@vj:$ sudo grub-customizer

@Lucien_Lachance Try running sudo eopkg install https://packages.getsol.us/unstable/g/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-3.32.1-43-1-x86_64.eopkg and rebooting, lemme know if the St patches removal fixes it for you.
