Heya folks! It's time for another edition of the weekly roundup.

It's been a quieter cycle this week, after all of the big changes over the last few weeks. @GZGavinZhao has been finishing up the ROCm stack, which should be coming in a sync very soon! This means that open source machine learning on AMD hardware will be supported in Solus out of the box.

Other updates this week include:

That’s all for this week, folks! Check back next time for another round of the weekly news!

How did this week's update go for you?

This poll has ended.

    re: your details tab--excited to see xfce moving forward and a python-palooza update. thank you everyone, goodnight!

      FYI logseq and xemu are both packages new to the repo this week.

      Vivaldi-snapshot - broken UI after a splash screen, I see only grey screen window. Right click works tho.
      Vivaldi-stable works fine.

        EbonJaeger Heya folks! It's time for another edition of the weekly roundup.

        Things have gone well, although a bit slow to install on the GNOME-based DEs. But with a little bit of patience, eventually things like the papirus icon theme finished. I have to admit, though, on the first update I did, I was tempted to CTRL+C and start the update again, thinking that something was actually wrong. After that, I knew what to expect.

        When I did the GNOME update, I wanted to make sure that I was trying the Wayland session, so I clicked the small gear icon before logging on, and this was the result:

        Assuming that GNOME on Xorg is an X11 session, am I right to think that GNOME by itself means Wayland, and that's now the default? If so, that's excellent! And the update seemed to go well there. It just surprised me that nothing said "Wayland," so I wasn't sure.

        Anyway, another smooth update on everything so far. Thanks, team!

            Indeed. With 68 packages upgraded, it was the biggest update for me this week. And after a reboot, it ran noticeably faster than before. I used to make allowances for it, being a work in progress and all, but now it seems to perform at least as well as MATE does. That's subjective, of course -- it could actually be performing better.

            There are still minor issues with the UI, of course, and I haven't tried everything in the menu yet, but so far I've seen nothing that would keep me from using it as a daily driver. Kudos to its maintainer!

              WetGeek yeah, "GNOME" means Wayland session, it's been default for some time now if I recall correctly

                  Miko it's been default for some time now

                  Thanks for your response. This is the first time I actually set out to make sure I was using Wayland, so it's the first time I noticed it. It's certainly working well, as I expected.

                    Thanks, Team, the update went well!
                    However, I still have no WIFI with the broadcom driver, even with sudo depmod -a.
                    Also, I have an app I compiled from source that stopped working since Week 44 sync and complains that QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread. Same with the develop branch. Makes me wish I properly packaged it and made a flatpak when it did work...

                      Solus update completed today (31 packages, 1.21 GiB), nothing to report so far, thanks to you.

                      Turns out I had to make space again on the device to boot on the last kernels. Broadcom's WIFI is back, good job! Thanks đŸ™‚

                      You probably just need to rebuild it.

                      That was my first thought. It didn't work, hence the devel build to check. Also, with mixxx from the repo I get
                      $ mixxx
                      QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
                      Warning [Main]: Failed to load "qt" translations for locale "fr_FR" from "/usr/share/mixxx/translations/"
                      Trappe pour point d'arrĂªt et de trace (core dumped)

                            virtualbox-guest-additions-iso also now available on repo. No need to download it from website anymore.

                              That's the best news I've read in a very long time. Thanks to the maintainer! I'm glad that proprietary software doesn't keep us from distributing it.
