Sync Update for Week 38, 2023

EbonJaeger

ReillyBrogan I am so sorry for the inconvenience. Next week I'll make sure the team ships a broken kernel or something. 🙂

ReillyBrogan

EbonJaeger oh don't you worry I'll make sure the next kernel update is the worst one we've ever had.

Harvey

btop is new as well (fancier htop).

EDIT:
Wait was that last week? idfk anymore, what is time

ReillyBrogan

Harvey edit the post then and add it. If it wasn't in last week's release notes it's still fine to put it in this one's. The point is to draw attention to new packages and updated ones, not quibble about what was in one sync versus another one.

EbonJaeger Thank you so much, packages version are now next to the pkg itself, much much informative now.
Next time maybe formating should improve, in table with column ... maybe
indicating :
Pkg_Name
Pkg_Previous_version
Pkg_Actual/fresh_version
Packager
Maintainer
Size (maybe but not obliged)

This formatted in a table would be super, and please, do preserve link mode it helps read more about the pkg itself.
Thanks for doing so great job

ReillyBrogan

unclemez we didn't use the script that automatically generates a changelog from all of the commits we made this time. We wrote it by hand as a "highlight" of the updates that we think most users are interested in reading about.

this is ^ like watching a monty python skit🙂

Created two pull-requests to add the Solus packages for duf & amdgpu_top. I think the more representation of Solus, the merrier it gets.
Haven't made one for btop, since it got an automatically updated repology package embed on it, despite having a section about repo packages in the README.md.

Kde online accounts for gdrive is now working again - nice 👍 (Yeah I know Google are the big overlords blah blah blah blah).

ReillyBrogan

bubba66 Yeah, that working was a side effect of me modifying signon-ui to use qt5-webengine instead of qt5-webkit. Honestly I didn't even realize it didn't work before but I'm glad it's working now. Thanks for noticing that it's been fixed!

Solarmass

Nice to have duf and amdgpu_top in the repo 👍️

Axios

I just like watching people do updates.
(Mine are still broke on my 2 computers)

brent

Axios it's bizarre that Mate on two computers has pipe problems. I remember that long thread of troubleshooting. All I can think of now is what are you doing the same on both? vpn package? or a DIY set of iptable rules? the other thing two computers with broken the same way would be the isp...I don't remember two in that thread so...

anyways just wondering if you have to go back to W7?

brent

anyone have any first impressions of btop yet? I haven't got around to it and I like htop. Curious, thanks.

WetGeek

brent anyone have any first impressions of btop yet?

I think I'm in love. The processes don't bounce all around; just their values change.

Solarmass

My first impression was is that it looks too busy..
I am using htop

brent

no bounce!! that makes it so much easier to kill a process, sleek. thank you

elfprince

I tend to agree with @Solarmass , looks a bit cluttered. I prefer glances and htop myself.

brent

elfprince yeah, looks very busy but in HTOP navigating the bottom menu to search for the process to kill then navigating that bottom menu again for the right F-Command then putting your eyes back to the jumpy middle output to see what text got highlighted then looking down again to see the F command hasn't timed out...HTOP makes killing processes un-necessarilty cumbersome.

@WetGeek have you tried killing a process in btop? easy peasy?
