Happy Friday Everyone! 🥳
Here are the highlights from today’s sync

  • Algent and Joey have been working on removing more python2 cruft from the repo
  • Reilly moved us from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker
  • Reilly updated linux-current to 6.4.8 and linux-lts to 5.15.124 (now supports 256 CPU core systems! Woooh!)
  • Pipewire v0.3.76 (Bluetooth LE Audio now enabled, if you have compatible hardware please report back if this works for you)
  • Ibus fixed for unicode and emoji input
  • Brave 1.56.14
  • Element 1.11.38
  • Firefox 116.0
  • opera-stable 101.0.4843.33
  • Various graphics library updates:
  • Mesalib v23.1.5 (Better Baldur’s Gate 3 support!)
  • Libva v2.19.0
  • Libglvnd v1.6.0
  • Egl-wayland v1.1.12

We are strongly considering deprecating the Julia package as it has no reverse dependencies and a good upstream installation process. The package is now marked as “needs maintainer”. If you rely on Julia, please get in touch.

How did the sync go for you?

Known issues

  • Partially solved Pipewire isn't working if a user logs out and back in really quickly. Reproduced in GNOME and Budgie
    • Workaround is to wait at least 10 seconds before logging back in
    • Fix expected in next sync
  • Solved Searching for programs in Run Dialog and Budgie Menu with non-Latin characters with a backport from Budgie
  • Solved wine fails with SIGSEGV by reverting to 8.10
  • Partially Solved The xdg portal file picker not opening on GNOME
    • Hotfixed by launching the gtk file picker instead
    • Full fix expected in next sync
  • One report of a failed bluetooth driver
    • Likely fixable with additional kernel enablement

I’ve been with Solus a few years now with a short blip earlier this year but it has never felt better or smoother. Thank you #TeamSolus.

Looks like some good performance gains with this update at least on my machine.

Yup everything seems better.
Thanks for your hard work

      Things seem MUCH better, but not completely solved. Could be a tiny regression with NetworkManager Applet's icon on notification - unsure (and not being able to shut notification is old, and allegedly an old upstream tiny bug), but that icon issue could be a thing I just didn't notice before.

      Elaborated on Dev channel as was asked to test (meant on Support channel); still having an OOPS (non boot) budgie menu's wrong language's search issue after panel auto refresh bug, and it seems the logoff -> relog issue is not COMPLETELY solved (tried on a superfast relog for testing purposes).

      The boot language indicator's bug is seemingly solved!

      Overall for me it seems a good update! More responsiveness, some issues solved and no NEW major issues I see. However as said, I think not all PREVIOUS critical bugs are solved.

      I put 1 week's long pastebin from today, journalctl -xe (it's not an issue from today, but an unresolved OOPS)
      on Dev channel (not on support) since the report was accidentally made there and not on support.

      It was taken on a re-constructable, repeated budgie panel's search on a different langue's/panel refresh related OOPS desktop crash after this sync. The bug was NOT introduced in this update, just wasn't solved by it.

      (this time I pipelined the output into a file)
      Since I could login, I simply collected it on the relog.
      Don't remember if it was taken after pressing logout, but it was taken before a relog and after an OOPS happened.
      I don't think it was taken as a root. so could be some messages are missing as a result

      I had cursor issues (it disappeared erratically) that seems resolved with this update. Because Mutter has been replaced by Magpie ?

      great work, great for the future of Solus 🙂

      Everything is going great, thank you...

      Today, my system is updated with 60 packages (934,44 MiB) and everything seems alright and the whole is fluid, so thank's or the great work of the Solus developer team. đź‘Ź
      NB. I would like to know about Firefox if it's normal to change in Settings the language of this software in French each time it changes version number in Solus ?

      @EbonJaeger : The bug where a virtual machine locks up the system when it's taken to full screen in a Wayland session is not resolved, but it's changed. Apparently Oracle is working on it. I'll add details to the bug report in Dev Tracker.

        launching a game using Wine seems to not work for me now. terminal output:

          wine is broken for me too:
