Might be a different crashing issue then. I still haven't seen such a crash locally (it was pretty reliable on notifications). If it still happens after the sync tomorrow can you hope on Matrix and we can walk you through providing a crash back trade?
Sync Updates for Week 46, 2023
Hi,
Could it be any of the recent changes / updates to prevent the root
login via tty
?
I'm able to login as a root via shell with su root
, but not directly via tty (CTRL + ALT + F5) ?
Cheers,
PY
presianbg At the risk of sounding like a broken record, could you make an issue for it? Be sure to include your system journal after a such a failed login.
Week 46 update is OK as far as I can see now (updated yesterday), except one thing changed:
System Settings → Users → Automatic Login seems to have no effect anymore. If it's set to 'On' I'm still asked for my pw after booting (which is inconvenient because I run the machine via Barrier, it doesn't have it's own keyboard).
I found a topic from 2019: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/1979-automatic-login-stopped-working-after-solus-updates, followed the advice in it, et voilá: Automatic Login works again.
Can this be related to the reworked PAM stack?
Besides this: Many many thanks to the team for maintaining this wonderful OS at such high level. Things always just work, and if not in some rare case, there always is a solution. Thats quite an accomplishment!
Yannnd There is an issue for this on issue tracker. Also recent discussion about this. Also thank you for possible solution.
ReillyBrogan If it still happens after the sync tomorrow can you hop
I'd be glad to. Meanwhile, I've created a Siduction VM and installed Telegram there. It was much later at night that I'm accustomed to still being awake, so I just started Telegram, answered one comment, and left it running while I went to bed. This morning it hadn't crashed. So I'm hopeful that it will be fixed by the sync. I suspect Qt6 6.6.1 will be the answer,

Siduction ran Telegram okay, but I wanted to build it out as a temporary replacement for Solus if I shoud need it again, and it turned out that it hadn't aged as well as Sparky Linux had. So I replaced it with Sparky, which allowed me to make an exact substitute for my Solus laptop. Same Thunderbird configuration, same Vivaldi configuration, same games, same access to my NAS, same DE, same Latte dock, and so on. And I've been using Telegram there all day now, without an issue. So in case today's sync doesn't fix it for Solus, I can just shift over to Sparky until it is fixed.
WetGeek You know, you can just download the Telegram binaries straight from them right? They build in all their libs into it so it works the same on all distros.

I never thought of that as an option, because I normally choose packages from the Solus repository. I've always believed that getting software externally might not update it reliably. If that's not the case here, I might consider it as a last resort, but I'm pretty comfortable right now. Thanks for pointing that out.
Depends on the app but generally speaking only flatpak/snap and some appimages have update mechanisms, it is possible to do it as a standalone app but most do not. No idea if Telegram does.
Locking as there is a new sync thread up: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/10001-sync-updates-for-week-47-2023
