brent The former unfortunately. The libvpx vulnerability and last weeks libwebp vulnerability were both discovered being actively exploited in the wild. Hence the rush to patch them across all affected software immediately.
Sync Update for Week 39, 2023
- Edited
WetGeek As before, when I rebooted, my Bluetooth was disabled.
Team, any idea what might be doing this? The first time it happened, it took me by surprise. It had never happened in all the years I've been doing weekly updates. All I knew was that my mouse didn't work, and my keyboard didn't work. I could do nothing with this laptop. So I used that occasion to reinstall the OS, making some small improvements as I did.
The next week, I accidentally found out that Bluetooth was disabled after the update, so I dug out a wireless mouse, plugged the dongle in, and used that mouse to enable Bluetooth in the system settings. That's all it took to make my mouse and keyboard both work normally again. They even connected automatically.
So, every week since then I've known what to do, and it doesn't take me long to enable things again, but it's really annoying. Plasma system here. Low priority problem. If I should file a bug report, let me know and I'll do that.
Is there a real need to use Papirus theme? It does take 'eons'.......
elfprince It looks nice and that's good enough for me. It's not like waiting a minute or two for an update to install for it is an actual deal breaker.
ReillyBrogan a minute or two? On my machine it takes many minutes.... But I get it. No problemos.

I think you should. Then we can make it a point of focus to figure out if this is a general issue, an issue that affects certain hardware etc.
Thanks for reporting and for being so patient with us while we get our ducks in a row.
BTW, let us know if you think this summarized changelog is something you find valuable or not. It takes a fair amount of time to sort it out and we won't do it if it's not useful enough to people (we could be updating more packages with that time instead).
Please mention if you'd be willing to help support someone doing this on a weekly basis via additional opencollective donations.
ReillyBrogan BTW, let us know if you think this summarized changelog is something you find valuable or not.
I may not be your typical user, but I find it to be a very nice addition to the sync notes.
Top Job! ️
ReillyBrogan I like those a lot. It gives somewhat more insight then just looking at the package update list. It also shows how active the development is and might help attracting new users which might help raising more donations. Just restarted my small monthly contribution
But I would understand if you stop it because of the work something like this needs.
Update ok
Note for Firefox, it was no longer in French but in English, I had to redownload the language fr
ReillyBrogan Really liking the summarized changelog . Also happy
with update on LyX. Thanks

I love the way you organized the thing this week.
Much more explicit with a good taste of honesty here by giving credit to him/her who deserve it
unclemez @ReillyBrogan did the changelog part. He definitely did a great job!
The summarized changelog has been useful. Perhaps not essential for seasoned users of Solus, but it seems a very welcoming face to Solus for newcomers. It fits in well with the ethos of Solus as a good fit for home computing, making the significance of changes made by updates accessible to all.
Great work, and appreciated!
Steph Would you mind posting your firefox localization settings to this thread https://discuss.getsol.us/d/9689-firefox-dont-keep-language-setting-after-update/5
this summarized changelog is
I read it all!

I posted here, because it was the first time, for the previous updates, it remained with the recorded language
I installed 100 updates (1.16 GiB) yesterday.
Note that Firefox, since this version 118.0.1, has implement an integrated translator, which seems to me a good initiative.
As for the weekly update report (which was a recurring request from @WetGeek , if I remember correctly), it seems to me to be a great initiative, because it may us to better understand the hard work of the team of Solus developers to make Solus evolve for the well-being of its users, and to be among the really interesting Linux distributions.
