EbonJaeger I use Solus, I'm a Druid

Why no version on second section ?
Would be cool even if it doesn't pay the bill
thanks for these updates. it's Pavlovian: you post the update about the updates then I install and reboot.
After I reboot I usually open a couple apps, open a couple folders, check the taskbar widgets. So all good.
I'm getting the "blank menu" issue on my network manager applet on Budgie as reported here: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/451
I've switched to using Openbox for the time being, so no problem there, but if there's any diagnostic info I can provide I'd be happy to help.
Update: Thunderbird 115.2.2 has been cherrypicked.
Hooray for Numix! The circle theme was one of the first icon themes that I thought was super cool back in the day when Korora was using it. Have installed it for the nostalgia.
Thanks for the quick eza
and bibata-cursors
updates!
This morning, I processed 36 Solus updates (173.70 MiB) and I'd like to thank the entire Solus team once again for the quality of their work and the fine pedagogic effort they put into commenting each new update to the tool.
However, I would like to make 2 comments:
- whether in the
Onboard
application or even inNetworkManager
, the problem of the empty menus persists, and I've been able to reproduce it in VirtualBox; below are a few examples to illustrate this:
Onboard:
NetworkManager
The menu appears correctly before disconnecting the application.
When we want to restart the connection, the menu appears empty. But if we click on the menu line corresponding to this action, the reconnection occurs successfully.
I'm also experiencing the following problem in Nemo (also tested in a virtual machine).
The application is configured to display the folders before the files, and this is indeed the case:
But when we want, for example, to move a file, that is no longer the case:
It's a bit annoying, but it is manageable. So, I don't see what to do to resolve this anomaly.
Do you have the same problem?
Any suggestion would be welcome, thank you in advance.
- Edited
There is an open Pull Request open to address the tray menu issue in Budgie Desktop, but it hasn't been merged yet. Please bear with us for just a little bit longer.
See here if you wish to follow the progress.
Same little issue, but I must also say that the speed with which it connects after switching on recently has improved: for a few months it seemed that the connection process waited before being started after boot.
Vulkan is now hardware accelerated on Intel 7th/8th gen GPUs
Having i5-8250U on my main system, should I do any tweaks / configs to benefit from this change ?!
How can I test if it's really hardware accelerated ?
PS: Thanks for the wonderful update and keeping the bar high!
presianbg You're using an 8th-gen Core CPU, not an 8th-gen GPU. You already have Vulkan hardware acceleration and there's nothing for you to do. 8th-gen GPUs are more like Haswell-era iGPUs, which honestly aren't really fast enough for hardware-accelerated Vulkan to really even be useful for gaming but it can at least help make applications like Chrome a bit smoother.
ReillyBrogan Ahhh, yes my bad.
I just saw 8th gen
and got excited, completely ignoring the GPU part
Update: Discord 0.0.30 has been cherrypicked
