I'm trying to create a shortcut to launch a program with the vblank_mode=0 option set.

Here's the .desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=UT2004
Comment=WICKED SICK
Path=/home/demon/Downloads/UT2004/System
Exec=vblank_mode=0 /home/demon/Downloads/UT2004/System/ut2004-bin
Icon=/home/demon/Downloads/UT2004/System/ut2004.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Games

I get an error when I launch the app but if I take out the vblank_mode=0 it works, just I'm capped at 60fps.

I know I remember Solus using LVM during install, and it seems like it was a default . Maybe Solus 4.4 had it. Am.i losing my mind?

I'm trying Solus XFCE in VirtualBox. My signon has Admin rights. I can start the Users and Groups program and add myself to various groups but after exiting U&G and reentering, none of my changes are there. Is there a way to save the changes?

Hi everyone, i got an Thinkpad X13 with 10 gen Intel and I out Solus on it but Battery Life are around 3 hours. I found several years old threads with TLP and powertop tipps but is this still the way to go in 2025? Thanks for your advice.

So I do not if this a Solus issue or a Budgie DE issue (I am thinking its Budgie, but I am starting here first). My laptop, when unplugged and actively being used, seems to go into lower power mode when the batter is still at about 50%. At 50% I should still have about 3 1/2 hours worth of work time. I have gone into the Budgie settings an ensured I am on Power Saver, I have disabled Auto Power Saver, and Auto suspend is set to 15min. Not really sure where to start if there is a solution or work-a-round. If its Budgie I may have to move KDE.

Currently have 2 monitors.

1 29" ultrawide on bottom and 27" 1080p on top.

I mainly use the 29" ultrawide and use top monitor for only games.

I need the top monitor to be my primary/default, but also want taskbar on bottom monitor.

If I set ulrawide as primary, game opens in 2560x1080 and if I move game to top monitor, it's stuck at 2560x1080. Also it looks to break vsync, so if I manually move game window, the screen will have tearing.

Any way to add a second taskbar to non primary screen?

Went and bought 2 SSDs. One for Home stuff and the other for system stuff, if WD lets me save system configs to it at least.

Live version boots ok from the flash drive, Solus can’t find the printer but other than that Plasma 6 is nice.

Attempting to run a few appimages. I get a missing libfuse.so.2 error. Both fuse and fuse2 are installed. Is the lib in another package or something?

Is it possible to downgrade a specific package? I'd like to test some older versions of mesalib to find when a bug I'm running into was introduced.

Hi, I swapped my Solus NVME Drive from my A300 Deskmini into my Wiskey Lake powerd Thinkpad T490 with a i7-8565U SoC. After installing Updates and restarting the Laptop I noticed zero Problems by now. Is there something I'm missing or that I should do to run my Thinpad with that "old" installation?

When I try to connect my Xbox controller it finds it but the xbox button continues to flash and the Steam controller test doesn't show it doing anything like the controller does not know Linux sees it. When plugged via USB without bluetooth it will work but once I do connect blutooth it goes back to do nothing. I also have times where it will bounce on and off after that.

I have xone, xone-common and xone-current installed.

I am having trouble with my Dell Inspiron Laptop running solus os. First of all, the battery indicator does not work. It always registers as 100%, until it emergency shuts down, unless I restart it after unplugging it. This leads me to believe it may be an issue with the hardware, which is fine. But recently the last time it shutdown after the battery dying, the "power mode" has been stuck on Balanced. This really hurts my performance when plugged in. Is this a bug that needs to be fixed, is there a way I can fix it, or is there a way I can disable the power management and/or the cpu scaling temporarily? Basically what happens is when I click on performance or power save, it toggles itself back off. This occurs both in the drop down menu and the settings tab. I have run sudo eopkg check and also updates in the package manager gui. What can I do next to fix this/submit a helpful bug report/troubleshoot? Thanks for any suggestions!

I didn’t add solus to the windows boot loader file in the installation setup and made a different efi, now i want to add windows entry to the systemd-boot menu.

So I installed discover and enabled the flat hub repository. Seems to be working well. However I am getting an error when I shut down my PC regarding flatpak. I'm sure it's a known issue, just wanted to share that flathub with discover works and I guess the error on shutdown will probably be resolved at some point

Good evening everyone, so I have this MacBook Air 2014, i5 4260U, 8GB/512GB and installing Solus on it with full disk encryption fails, here is the log https://termbin.com/gatx2 Ubuntu 22.04.1, openSUSE Leap 15.6 and Tumbleweed install just fine.

Solus installs fine with no encryption but I need full disk encryption. What could it be?
