Scotty-Trees I'm having similar issues with random things freezing/locking up. It seems to be temporary but can last a few seconds. It even happens when I move a window around for more than a second or so.

Using Budgie.

      @Scotty-Trees triengage I also am having freezing/lockup issues that seem temporary and last for a few seconds. It happens more frequently when I move windows around or accelerated things. Budgie + Nvidia (Latest)

          I have this one too. It's because of Nvidia Driver. I uninstall the proprietary driver, and the issue is gone

              Diamond-Dewan It's look like the keyboard applet not picking up ibus input. My japanese ibus input is never shown up in the applet.

                My System is a Solus 3.9999999 updated to a 4.x Fortitude. Budgie. I removed lightdm and used GDM with gnome-shell because I wanted to try Gnome Desktop.

                This Update right here kinda breaks something for me. It didn't start gdm at all. I have not looked into logs tho, I just wanted to have the system running again so I had to re-install lightdm and budgie and remove gdm/gnome-shell.
                I also (re)installed slick-greeter, couldn't remember if it was necessary or not. The Update went fine after that and when I re-enabled lightdm service etc.

                I will try to install gdm/gnome again later on. I will see if it works or not.

                Anyone having Firefox addon issues since this rolled out? Installed addons became unverifiable and new addons cannot be installed at all :/

                  My Screen "Dims" after inactivity while watching videos.
                  Still happens if I turn it off.

                    The "Open in Software" under GNOME Control Center -> Applications doesn't do anything. I've been working to patch it out entirely, since GNOME assumes we use GNOME Software, when we don't.

                    Should I open an issue upstream for that?

                      -r- No, it's distro issue. Because Solus not using Gnome Software.

                          I'm still getting freezes and hangs that last 3-7 seconds all the time. Even trying to resize windows, it freezes. System is pretty unusable in this state with the constant freezing, but I'm willing to stick this out and figure it all out with you guys! Perhaps the new kernel push later today might fix that, but I do not know for certain. Like I mentioned I'm on Solus 4 Gnome, using proprietary nvidia glx drivers current on the latest kernel 5.0.7-114.current

                          I don't know if I was supposed to do this or not, but after I had ran the sync using sudo eopkg up, I rebooted and ran these commands as well, feel free to let me know if I was supposed to OR if it was okay or not to run these commands:

                          sudo usysconf run -f
                          sudo eopkg rdb
                          sudo eopkg up
                          sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

                            In Settings > Sound the volume bar doesn't seem to register anything, it works for microphone. Test sounds don't play either while sound is working fine.

                            yursan9 Well, it's up to GNOME to show that button dynamically if someone is using only part of their eco-system. Provided there wasn't some Meson flag the packagers missed...

                              Scotty-Trees I'm having the exact same problem. CPU spikes and 3 or 5 sec freezes all the time, making the system unusable. I'm not sure where it's coming from. Glad to see I'm not alone.
                              I'm not using topicons-plus and all updates have been installed, including manually installing gnome-shell-3.32.1-41-1-x86_64.eopkg (which according to Josh, shouldn't be necessary). I'm on Solus 4 Budgie, current kernel and nvidia drivers.

                                  Yea, the issue has been reported in various places such as: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1202 and is (fortunately) not an issue limited to Solus. There is a WIP change to st that should alleviate it but as you can see from their merge request discussion, there has been discussion that this MR indeed reduces the amount of style-checked calls, but may introduce further issues (so they've been thinking about reverting it). That specific MR affects GNOME Shell, so still need to look elsewhere for the Budgie issues.

                                  I'm going to get this tested on unstable regardless. I'm sorry that some of you are experiencing these issues, working to get to the bottom of it.

                                  Nibb31 If you're on Solus 4 Budgie, then you're using Budgie, not GNOME Shell, and thus an update to a completely different desktop environment wouldn't help much.
