I'm french user and firefox don't keep language setting after update.

Hi all,
Sync didn't work initially due to blockers (cargo rust and rustup) that cannot be installed/updated at the same time.
Uninstall of these 3 packages solved the problem.
Apart from that, and unfortunately, since Budgie is at 10.8 (with appindicator and so on), I have problems with systray.
Evolution plugin evolution-on doesn't work anymore (despite my tries with 2 different systrays solution and kind help from @JoshStrobl ), Rhythmbox doesn't go in the systray anymore (and I don't see any systray plugin on github that is going to work with appindicator), and Signal, Tutanota desktop, pCloud and Discord in the systray are showing non relevant icons from time to time. According to @JoshStrobl , it seems that it's Electron based applications that are doing that.
So, sorry to dampen the mood, but since Budgie's upgrade to 10.8, my desktop is a mess and it's really unfortunate.
I can't see any improvement possible (I might be wrong) as Electron applications will stay Electron applications and Evolution or Rhythmbox plugins won't be updated I guess. I might downgrade to 10.7 but I am not sure it's smart.
I know you guys cannot make miracles (well, sometimes ...), but in case you see a solution to these problems, I'll be glad.
In the meantime, keep on the great work.

Hey folks, is it expected to get error messages about conflicting files while installing openssl-11-devel, and that these conflicting files are not going to be removed? : pastebin

    Sebastian if the rest of the upgrade went well and you just happened to notice those messages in the output then yes it's expected. It's a side effect of how this particular openssl update was done, this sort of thing often happens when we move files from one package to another.

        ReillyBrogan Yes, everything else went well. Just when installing openssl-devel, I got informed that some files got replaced by others pastebin
        and then down the road while installing openssl-11-devel that some conflicting files won't get removed (see my post above).

        Just wanted to be sure that it was the expected bevaviour, which you have just confirmed.

          Updated my system just today and after reboot I get a blank screen. I can start session via terminal but don't know how to start the graphical interface. Posting this via Windows11 boot on my ASUS VivoBook.

          Problem occurs even when selecting previous version in boot menu at start.

          EDIT:
          with dmesg I get API mismatch errors about NVIDIA driver versions mismatch as client has version 535.104.05 and kernel is using 535.98

            My only problem was that my Bluetooth was turned off by the update, as happened once before, during an update from unstable. That time, after being able to do nothing at all with this machine, I finally reinstalled the OS and left it connected to Shannon.

            This time, I suspected that it might just have been a Bluetooth problem, so I used the laptop's own keyboard and trackpad to open the System Settings, re-enable Bluetooth and reconnect my mouse and keyboard. That's all it took to fix it. So as it turned out, I did need to fix something, but knowing now what I didn't know back then, it was a trivial fix. I'd prefer not to have to do that after every update, but it's certainly not a terrible hardship.

            mestrini

            Checking with sudo eopkg history I see that both nvidia common and current were upgraded from 535.98 to 535.104 while the kernel version remained 535.98
            My question now is, should I downgrade the client versions or will the kernel be updated to ship the 535.104 version?

            EDIT:
            Looks like I ran out of space for boot-manager and was booting an older version (although the latest on the boot list)
            so I guess I must clean since rollback didn't succeed due to same space issue

            EDIT2:
            Fixed the issue by removing an old kernel from EFI partition and running sudo clr-boot-manager update
            Not the first time having issues with EFI partition running out of space but last time I got rid of the issue by resizing the partition to 1GB... or at least was what I thought since GParted shows that size but strangely, when mounting the partition via LIVE boot, the properties menu for it only shows the original 256MB ??!!??
            Looks like I'll have to do a fresh install of my systems to resize it properly (and hopefully, definitively)

            PS:
            If I could, I would change my vote to issues with update that I was able to fix

              Hmm.. I'm having a problem. I apllied the updates.. I think and after reboot I'm getting this:
              Is there any way to roll back?
              Thank you!

              If I press Alt+F2 I'm getting this:
              but I'm not sure how to move forward from here.
              edit: I managed to login and I tried "sudo eopkg up" but I'm getting errors:

                mestrini I'm also getting this! : (
                How did you fix it?
                Should I remove old kernels from the EFI partition?
                How do you remove old kernels from the EFI partition?

                edit: There is no need to remove old kernels, I ran "sudo clr-boot-manager list-kernels" and it shows I have only one: com.solus-project.current.6.4.11-251.

                Meh.. I'm lost. : (

                    [deleted] That looks to me that you don't have internet connection of your drivers are not working correctly. Probably issues with the new kernel.

                        algent Also I cleared my cache previously which means I can't roll back. Damn it! I'm such an idiot!!
                        Thanks for the quip though, Algent!

                          The current kernel is 6.4-13-253 so it looks like it didn't update to the newest.

                          I found out about my system having different nvidia drivers versions by running dmesg. Try it to see what you errors you get back.

                          As for removing kernels from the EFI partition, I booted Solus Live from a USB and mounted the partition with Disks app. Then I browsed it with a file manager and deleted the old versions from 'com-solus-project' folder. But do it at your own risk

                              mestrini When I use "dmesg" I'm getting the same errors that you got.

                              As for removing kernels.. there is no need, I only have one and when I check the Boot partition I see that used space is 105 MiB out of 489. So there is no issue here.

                              Right, thank you for the reply mestrini but I think I'll reinstall. Maybe I should use this as an excuse to do some distro hoping
                              : )

                                Recently, not sure if it's a result of the last update or maybe the one before, I've been seeing an odd screen effect. My screen is on a Latitude laptop, 1920x1080, and when I restore it in the morning from hibernation the bottom 1" of the screen is blurred. The only way I've found to clear it is to log out and back in.

                                This is in a Wayland session -- which is a work in progress -- and it causes no real harm, but I was wondering whether anyone else was experiencing this? And if you are, did you realize you could fix it so easily?

                                I've used Wayland since well before this started happening. so it's indeed something fairly recent. I haven't experimented to find out whether it happens with X11 as well, but I'll do that now.

                                On X11 now. I'll work this way for a while, then hibernate, and see what happens when I wake up the laptop.

                                Okay, after using X11 for a while, I've hibernated this laptop, and took a break to prepare our breakfast, and to eat mine. Now I've awakened the laptop, and confirmed that there is NO blurry inch at the bottom of my screen. I realize this is not a statistically significant sample size, but it's a personally significant one. I'm willing to accept that the blur at the bottom of my screen is indeed a Wayland issue. As work continues on Wayland, I'm hoping that will soon disappear.

                                So, is anyone else seeing this happen, either in connection with hibernating or at other times? Going back to Wayland now.

                                Since the last update i can't send mails with Thunderbird over my AOL account.
                                I had this issue a couple month ago and a update was neccessary.
                                Not sure its an AOL or Thunderbird issue.
                                I get the error can't connect with SMTP server.
                                Recieving works normal.
                                Sending via AOL works normal.

                                  For me, the last update contained 125 packages (1.15 GiB) and I have nothing special to report except this.
                                  NB. This may have happened since the last update or the one before it.
                                  This is the Onboard software, which is very practical for entering passwords confidentially.
                                  The problem is that, once launched, the application icon no longer appears in the taskbar, once the virtual keyboard is displayed.
                                  This happens whether by launching the application from the menu or by programming it to autostart.
                                  It's not too annoying, but you always have to go through the menu to display it.
                                  Is this the case for other users?
                                  If you need me, feel free to contact me.
