Sync Updates for Week 30, 2023

RegularJogger
I had those ALL:

"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"

I'm sure of that. Considering what I had more, it's not surprising though that those were installed.
Hopefully people will be able to find the culprit if any.

Also had telegram, terminal, software center (default), firefox (default), rythmbox (defaults) and celluloid (default) and also thunderbird and launch nemo (default) if not noted, discord, battery (default?) - with battery percentage (non default to show), element, budgie screenshot/other type of budgie screenshot, probably geany, possibly gimp who knows maybe vlc (probably not this time), or lutris (probably not this time), gedit, could be calculator, and many things which should not be there probably. (temperature of cores from budgie, celtic magic from budgie, virtualbox, steam, system settings, showtime from budgie, maybe contrast from budgie maybe show desktop from budgie, don't remember what else) also, status and user indicator (both are probably default), but I thought it was not (and had not) gnome extensions. order is random since I try to recall and edit rapidly.

As said before, could be I've made an error...

As also said, I can't know the list and not having that installation anymore.

Used: laptop, budgie, luks (not using now), LVM (not using now). Intel. If needed will elaborate but as one other commented it might not likely to help much now since I don't know the origin of the issue (me/not me etc) and while it works great now on a newly installed and vanilla upgraded system and previously not, I did change the installation much.

Panel issue (no icon and - ) /unknown mouse issue (can't click/be captured anywhere) as noted. Faintly recalling not the first time I see a similar thing, but this time it was the worst and not in a specific context and couldn't do anything beside moving the mouse cursor or cold boot, I think, after logging in, and even cold restart didn't help.

Can no longer troubleshoot as noted - not same installation and now things are OK.

For people experiencing issues (it sounds like mostly Budgie users?) it would be great to report the following:

• Whether you're on the LTS or current kernel
• DE (Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, Other?)
• GPU and GPU driver
• Whether or not you have secure boot enabled

For debugging purposes you can edit the kernel arguments by holding the down key while booting. The most recent -current kernel is 6.3.12-244. You can try to boot with an older kernel to see if that helps (please report back which ones work for you). You can also try hitting e over the boot entry to change the kernel options. If you're using a nvidia GPU we recently added the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 parameter, try deleting that and see if that helps. You can also remove quiet loglevel=3 splash systemd.show_status=false to get more verbose logging which can help debug the issue.

For people who are not able to log into a session are you still able to switch to a different TTY and log in there (hitting CTRL+ALT+F3 for example)? That will help us understand where exactly this issue is happening.

ReillyBrogan Whether you're on the LTS or current kernel
DE (Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, Other?)
GPU and GPU driver
Whether or not you have secure boot enabled

Kernel: 6.3.12-244.current
DE: Budgie
CPU: Intel Core i3-3110M
GPU: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics - driver: i915 - API: OpenGL v: 4.2 Mesa 23.1.4 renderer: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2)
Secure Boot: Was disabled, I enabled it following the guide for existing installs. Now it boots correctly as I already enrolled the cert wen clr-boot-manager, version: 3.2.12, release: 29 was available in the stable repo.

Warning ahead, can't troubleshoot as I don't have the problematic install
The following refers to my previous install which had issues with this update.

Whether you're on the LTS or current kernel

Current (Shannon)
6.3.12-244.current
Trying the previous stable one didn't help after the update

DE (Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, Other?)

Budgie 10.7.2

GPU and GPU driver

Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)
I believe the drivers were, non formally, that mesa and that i915. (default, updated with the system)

I believe the following was true also for the previous install:
driver: i915
loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa dri: iris gpu: i915
resolution: 1366x768_60Hz
API: OpenGL v: 4.6 Mesa 23.1.4 renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 (KBL
GT2)

Whether or not you have secure boot enabled. 

I didn't have secure boot enabled (and still don't)
I do have a UEFI/GPT/Solus automatic full disk (previous time with Luks, LVM) installation.

Also, had Luks and LVM (now I don't use).

Could login, but couldn't use the desktop once logged in. Mouse cursor moved and that's it. icon panels were missing, mouse clicks didn't do anything or were not captured etc (non formal description). I didn't know enough/though to check keyboard by then.
