I love gtk, and light DEs. I have a longterm background project of forking a gtk3 lxde. Would anyone be interested in this on solus? As it's my current daily driver, would develop there primarily.

solus not detect my sound card i've a huawei laptop and i did several lines commands

Hi everyone, I have a Dell desktop and an HP laptop, both operate on Solus budgie. They are independent machines not connected on a home network. The Dell booted up this morning as usual. I was trying to fix a printing problem but wasn't having any luck, so decided to shutdown. Went to try and boot up again later but only got this nessage: failed to start liggtdm. service. Later the same day I tried to use my laptop. To my horror this didn't start either! I got the same error message as with the Dell but also another one as well: failed to startudidks2. service. I hope someone can help me fix this soon. Please explain any remedies in very simple terms. Than you

Did the recent updates mess up anyone else's Plasma settings? It changed my theme, I have to double click in Dolphin, it no longer restores any plasma windows I have open (it only restores Firefox on reboot), and Tilda no longer works for me at all, I can open it from terminal once but not with original settings and then when I hide it, I can't get it back without opening a new one in terminal...

I cannot fix tilda, even by deleting .config/tilda

Is anything like this happening for anyone else? I've been running Solus on this machine since 2017 and Plasma since it was added maybe a year later and never had an issue like this before.

I decided to give Solus an opportunity recently. I like how the OS looks to be super stable, and up-to-date and have its own model being independent build-from-scratch

It worries me the fact that Solus seems to be divided and certainly in danger of being broken apart because of internal issues

What is the current state of Solus? Can we all trust that the project is going to be standing here and giving its best after Ikey abandoned the project and started working on SerpentOS?

There's an annoying pop sound effect every time the volume is turned up and down using the keyboard, does anyone know how to change it/get rid of it?

​

Thanks.

how do i get this setup correctly to work with HDR? is it possible in the current state of plasma and linux? i have an amd gpu. thanks in advance.

how do i get this going? is it even possible in the current state of plasma/kde and linux? if you could explain like im five it would be appreciated

Hey There guys!

am very excited to announce the release of v1 of a custom linux shell i have been working on!

its written in the rust programming language and is still in development and for most part it uses base as sh but i will slowly replace i.

Its completely open source and is available as binary for linux (no windows support intended) you are free to redistribute it in any way but if you can give me a favour by spreading this news than i will be more than happy...thanks

Hey everyone,

Imma go ahead and apologize for the dumb question but nothing is working for me. I’m trying to update heroic but I don’t know how exactly. I just switched from windows so I’m getting used to everything. Can anyone help?

As far as machines, I'm looking for something pretty decent. I would rather have a used 2022 or so Flagship rather than something new but lower tier if that makes sense. What I'll be doing with it is every day stuff, Youtube, Movies, playing with Distros in VM and Nintendo Switch Emulation

The main thing is; I don't wanna go drop a grand on a laptop then find out Bluetooth or Wifi or something is incompatible. Big fan of Lenovo but not married to it.

Someone in another thread mentioned CloneZilla, I loaded it up on a life USB but within 5 minutes I saw pain, suffering and loss in my immediate future if I continued with it.

Thanks a lot!!

My laptop battery died mid update and I now boot into a blank screen with a mouse cursor and no TTY or terminal access. (btw my battery indicator does not work. It remains at 100% no matter the actual battery charge. Is this a known issue or something other people experience?) I would obviously like to fix this, but the only advice I have found online is this link: https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-rescue/en/ Which is a broken link. Would someone be able to walk me through the steps required to go in and fix my update or rollback my machine to an earlier update?

Hello everyone

My Solus KDE laptop has been upgraded to Plamsa 6. Now I have a really ugly login screen after bootup. I can choose between a X-11 or Wayland session. Both seem to work fine. My question, can I do something to "ditch" the ugly login screen with giant keyboard? Just have a normal login window with both options?

System is kernel 6.6.22-281 & Plasma 6.0.3

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty new to linux, and after trying a dozen distros I am settled on Solus, I really like it a lot.

The only issues I'm having are with the "apt install" / eopkg differences i'm still trying to grasp the new system coming from Debian/Ubuntu based systems before this.

Most recently, I am trying to install WayDroid so I can install android apps on Solus but I'm finding issues installing it. Can someone give me some suggestions on how to get this running on Solus.

---

Finally, the aopkg thing is kinda throwing me, usually I google "Xprogram install linux" and it gives the typical "sudo apt install Xprogram" copy, paste and i'm good to go. But it is a bit more difficult with Solus it seems. Waydroid is a good example. What is the easiest way to check and see if/where I can get a program I'm using? I know there are Snaps and Flatpak's but for the programs that are not there is there another option?

Can I use Apt, next to Flatpak and Snap? Being that Solus is a smaller, lesser supported distro is there a way to use the apt repository along side aopkg / Snap / Flatpak?

Thanks!!

Hi there!
i was wondering if its legal and allowed to make a custom distro based on SolusOS?
Also where to start from ?

As the titles says, I can't see my two additional drives. I can only see my boot drive of course. Is anyone able to guide me through some troubleshooting? I'm brand new to linux in general.

Hi All, I absolutely love Solus, but I've persisted with this issue for about 8 months now and it's really starting to bug me going in and out of meetings. I'll try my best to describe the issue.

My Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 G1 is plugged into a USB-C dock with 2 monitors most of the time with the lid shut. When I head off for a meeting I open the laptop, disconnect the USB-C cable, wait a minute, shut the lid and head off for the meeting. When I arrive at the meeting, I open my laptop and Solus doesn't wake from sleep. Pressing the flashing power button doesn't do anything and I have to power down the laptop completely before it will work.

I've tried reinstalling Solus 4.5 GNOME. Latest kernel and updates installed. The problem persists. When testing Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora (installed on other partitions) have no issues waking from sleep doing the same process listed above.

I've noticed other posts on the Solus reddit but none with a solution.

Has anyone else had this same issue and know how to fix this?

So have been messing around with OBS and noticed I had it installed twice.

Once by flatpak and another by software center.

​

I have been having issues with my capture card,I think I was using Flatpak at first.

Now uninstalled flatpak version and installed from software center.

​

Is solus version more stable?

They seem to be the same version, but unsure.

Prompt: sudo eopkg it -c system.utils

The error: haskell-primitive release >= 7 dependency of package vgrep is not satisfied

I don't have any clue what's wrong.

Your help is highly required and appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Solus users, anyone found a workaround for steamwebhelper issue? Not able to fix the problem, flatpak allows the steam to load but games don’t load at all. All we can do is to wait for Steam to update their package or we can change something so Steam starts?
