  • In Solus 4.5 Upgrade Libmagic Error

    For those who could have this same problem. I installed baselayout before upgrading:

    sudo eopkg install https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/b/baselayout/baselayout-1.9.0-77-1-x86_64.eopkg

    Updates available, checking reverse dependencies of runtime dependencies for safety.

    after "sudo eopkg up" again:

    raise ImportError('failed to find libmagic. Check your installation')
    ImportError: failed to find libmagic. Check your installation

    after "sudo eopkg check" i get the same message.

    any ideas?

    thank you very much!

  • In Solus 4.5 Upgrade Libmagic Error

    Dear Forum!
    I am excited about Solus and i would like to set up all my devices with this Linux Distribution.
    So i installed Solus on a Laptop today.
    After "sudo eopkg upgrade" i get an error that the package libmagic is not available with a python traceback.
    I can not continue with the upgrade process and the system does not start any application anymore.
    Is this problem related to the new sync? Or if not, does somebody have any idea how to install libmagic and upgrade solus to the newest sync from 4.5 without crashing?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards!

    dear staudey 🙂
    the only thing i can remember is before installing solus that my wine games started crashing instead of starting.

    dear alfisya 🙂
    thank you for your hint for installing an older package. it works!
    best regards!

  • In Package Management System - Questions

    dear alfisya and wetgeek 🙂
    thank you for your short and long explanations!
    then i have just one more question - for example wine is sometimes bugged (like now since 9.3).
    is it possible to install 9.5 earlier then the sync day? other packages i normally do not install because they mostly work. 🙂
    if yes, could you please explain me how?
    thank you again for your answers! 🙂
    best regards!

    • In Package Management System - Questions

      hello to you all! 🙂
      i am new to solus and i managed installing the system to my needs and i am very happy because everything runs out of the box without installing any extra packages. now i have a few questions regarding the repository and package system because i can not find any documentation:
      1) the repository is synced every week. does this mean that the whole unstable repository is synced to the stable repository?
      2) do i need to upgrade from solus 4.5 to 4.6 if there is a new release? or is this distribution like a rolling release?
      3) is it possible to install one package from unstable to stable without breaking the whole system?
      thank you in advance!
      best regards!

      • pingvin is it possible to install 9.5 earlier then the sync day?

        Well, wine 9.5 is not yet available in unstable. You can only have that early by compiling it yourself. I don't recommend this if you are not technical. What you can do for now, maybe use the older version of wine. You said your apps used to work with it. To install older wine :

        • Wine 9.2 
          sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/w/wine/wine-9.2-169-1-x86_64.eopkg https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/w/wine/wine-32bit-9.2-169-1-x86_64.eopkg
        • Wine 9.1 
          sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/w/wine/wine-9.1-168-1-x86_64.eopkg https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/w/wine/wine-32bit-9.1-168-1-x86_64.eopkg

        All of other wine packages are available here

        OR you can use tools like ProtonupQt and ProtonPlus to install any wine/proton version. These tools are mostly intended for game launcher (Steam, Heroic, Lutris) but can be used for any program too. Both of them are available as flatpak.
