Sync Updates for Week 33, 2023

EbonJaeger

Known Issues and Workarounds

Issue: Adding both budgie-screenshot-applet and budgie-weathershow-applet to a Budgie panel crashes the desktop/causes it to hang because of libsoup version mismatch.
Solution: Fixed in Stable (cherry-picked). Note that budgie-screenshot-applet has been unmaintained for 3 years and may be deprecated in the near future.

elfprince we've been putting the known issues in the second post of each sync thread. As there are none yet the post is just reserved.

brent

elfprince someone had to ask!

elfprince

ReillyBrogan Gotcha! 😄

The team deserves a round of applause for getting any update out this week.

many thanks to you

I still had 46 packages (732.44 MiB) to install/update last night.

Let's salute Thunderbird's move from version 102.13.0 to 115.1.1: a real change that few Linux distributions have to date.

I join @WetGeek to applaud the whole Solus team again for this performance. 👏

penny-farthing Yes i noticed something was different in Thunderbird and then checked the version number. This was a pleasant surprise, i really appreciate this.
Good job Solus team 🙂

penny-farthing Let's salute Thunderbird's move from version 102.13.0 to 115.1.1: a real change that few Linux distributions have to date.

I need to do some research on this one. I can tell it's now 115 in help-about, but I can't see anything that's clearly different. I'm sure it's significant, but just not obvious.

Here is a link detailing what's new in Thunderbird v.115:
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/115.0/whatsnew/

NB. Please note that some extensions are no longer operational, as expected, on this new version, for example:

Auto Select Latest Message
ImportExportTools NG
Manage Emails/ Nostalgy++
Manually sort folders
Thunderbird Conversations
Some of them will probably be updated later to be compatible with it.

115 is way way way faster... my big e-mail accounts used to sync very difficult via IMAPS, but not anymore 🙂

surreptitiously edits Thunderbird 115 into the release notes for this sync

Y'all can thank @harvey for that one

So, our thanks to @Harvey for bringing us this Thunderbird version upgrade so quickly, which will be much appreciated by the Solus community. 😃

BTW, we did fix the Pipewire issue causing duplicate devices to appear and for Bluetooth profiles not to switch. If you still have this issue after an update delete your ~/.local/state/wireplumber folder and restart. You may need to re-select your default audio devices and set your volume but it should work after that.

Hey after update and login into budgie, white screen appears and shows message "oh no! something has gone wrong. please log out and try again". Swapping into terminal I installed gnome, and gnome works fully, so it must be some budgie issue.

EbonJaeger

kubasama Can you get journalctl logs from a failed login? That's the only way we can narrow down what part is failing.

pomon

kubasama This has happened to me several times. It was always a mesalib error. I would suggest:

Go to TTY Ctrl+Alt+F2 or other function key.
Log in to your account. Enter your name and password (it will not be visible).
Execute sudo eopkg it --reinstall mesalib and reboot.
If this does not help then do steps 1 and 2, write sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall and reboot

kubasama

EbonJaeger yes, here https://pastebin.com/zXm8vVb2

kubasama

pomon nope, Budgie remains broken.

Also tried to rollback update, but:
System error. Program terminated. Repo item perl-net-smtp-ssl not found

algent

kubasama
sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/p/perl-net-smtp-ssl/perl-net-smtp-ssl-1.04-14-1-x86_64.eopkg
and then try rollback again.
