Also this week, PipeWire is enabled by default for everyone!

This is huge!
No issues to report so far.

3+ GB download and 300+ packages, big update, I got tho clean something here lol, no issues here for the moment, great job team!

ok, something went wrong, it failed to boot on cold boot, managed to boot, editing boot options, don't know if it's the uefi from machine or the partition uuid changed (I saw swap error about it), and from the login screen, the desktop fails to load and falls back to the login screen (budgie widgets thing?)

For the momment I'm checking packages and rolling back after that, will collect more info in the next few days/weeks I'm busy those days.

    nolan I have a similar situation, it does load the desktop but it does not respond at all to mouse clicks and pannels are empty. I also had to cold boot for the first time. (It booted but the other problem was noted.) posting from an extrnal HDD OS before I try to rescue and reroll.

    Though I'm already not having a normal install so can't say what's wrong and could be a "my fault" issue.
    This time it's likely.

    P.S. I forgot, maybe I should try to use Mutter first if still possible, I am not in the mood of system rescue now.

        All went smoothly.
        There was a file conflict for pipewire-lib

        /usr/lib64/libpipewire-0.3.so.0 from pipewire gets replaced by pipewire-lib package
        But it's likely intended, especially since I enabled pipewire by default prior to the change.

          [deleted] I can't edit no longer, but I forgot the exact situation so wasn't accurate.
          Cold boot was done in trying to make the mouse cursor responsive/captured on the desktop and pannel (it does move) and to try to solve the missing pannels icons issue. However it was not needed and did not solve my issue so it's unrelated - just something I tried since normal reboot/logoff wasn't possible.

          P.S. why is this awaiting approval? It's a correction of a post while I could edit it no longer.

              Because the system automatically flagged it for review. No idea why it thought it may have been SPAM, but it did.

              PoorPocketsMcNewHold There was a file conflict for pipewire-lib

              As I said earlier in the thread "just ownership of files being passed between packages. Nothing to fear, working as intended."

                  Everything went great (Budgie), no problems.
                  Thanks to the team.

                  brent on startup (redshift enabled at startup) the redshift app announced geoclue was disabled or missing or something so no redhsift. don't really care about that.

                  Seems like this was already an issue in the past with a geoclue update (that's why it was reverted here). Unfortunately it seems the redshift app no longer sees any development.

                  edit: Arch Wiki describes a workaround here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/redshift#Automatic_location_based_on_GeoClue2
                  (but note that the location is apparently different in Solus: /usr/lib/geoclue/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent)

                      Hello guys, Budgie edition here. Posting from my phone.

                      Rebooting after the updates, the moment I log in I get blank desktop (sometimes blank panel as well). One time I managed to run htop in terminal via the alt+f2 launcher before the machine gets completely frozen or reboots.

                      Basically, what seems to be happening, at least in my case, is budgie-panel causing massive memory leak of sorts - taking all cores and filling both ram and swap (sometimes multiple times before making the machine freeze/reboot). Got lucky one time to get past that and functioning normally, unfortunately wasn’t that lucky with any of subsequent boots though.

                      Is there anything else I can do or provide you with to help with the issue?

                        Hello there, I am budgie user, and yes, after applied the update, i have the same issue, frozen session, and prompting a logout with error message "oh no, something has gone wrong"...

                        What should I do to revert, or, is there any patches coming up??

                        Thanks

                          BTW since I messed up badly and as I had a backup I just reinstalled, already am back to the new, updated system. I see no issue with it now, (didn't try much but the problem I've noticed doesn't exist anymore) it probably was something I did or installed. (I know I should have solved that and report but I was so tired and messed up so big so it was too tough, so I used the opportunity to check it on a vanila install while the first thing is updating)

                          Also - thanks @Harvey ,
                          that was totally understandable if it is auto - since I phrase non ideally by accident, and maybe also since I had many edits (which were needed in general, I think) and have/had multiple accidental mouse jerks and clicks on posting and edits which had left some accidental strange typing activity (such as unintended adding of bulled lists, cut/pastes possibly or more likely - text which had started not from the point I meant but from the point the cursor accidentally jumped to) due to me not yet disabling the touchpad. (in both the temporary systems and this one)

                          Great update (1.7 GB) with just one issue. I used an headset with Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Audio Transmitter. Because I don't have any bluetooth on my MOBO. It worked well until now, but with PipeWire, I have no more sound in the headset. Could you help me ?

                          $ inxi -A
Audio:
  […]
  Device-4: Creative BT-W3 driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid
    type: USB
 […]
  API: ALSA v: k6.3.12-244.current status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 0.3.75 status: active

                            olivir pavucontrol saved me, putting the sound level to 100% for Creative BT-W3. 😎

                              Staudey as far as I remember, mine has these on:

                              keyboard language indicator/switcher
                              keyboard lock keys indicator
                              budgie menu
                              icon task list
                              systray, network, volume (sorry, don’t remember if these are separate or not)
                              notifications
                              clock
                              raven trigger

                              Also, on a related note, I tried to roll the update back via tty for now, but eopkg throws a system error: Repo item libatk-32bit not found
