108saimon added a comment to T7322: Update from software center not load packages and don't give me cancel update.

Known issue, reported on the old solus-sc tracker (we have a new repo at https://github.com/getsolus/solus-sc). Issues should be filed there, not here, until I've fully moved the project over to Phabricator and we have the tooling in place to facilitate its development.

New Tracker: https://github.com/getsolus/solus-sc

@108saimon I just removed and re-installed Chrome from the Software Center without a problem. Could you try it again? Maybe you just got unlucky and ran into some sort of connection issue between you and the google download servers.

edit: And if it doesn't, could you test if the commands from this help site work:

Try with the command line : sudo eopkg up

Guys, really.
I go to site Solus OS - and read - "we user friendly".
"Apps and other stuff work out-of-box".
I create task about chrome install trouble - https://dev.getsol.us/T7319, and get answer "go to another castle your princess not here"(notice about issue third-party-devs)
I create task about problem with install updates from native Solus OS software center and answer - use cmd.

Every time whean i see - "go to console and write some there" - its not even near to "user friendly".

And i report about issues not for get guide how do some things admin way.
I report in hope - some of this issues be fixed in later releases for common(no console jedy) users.

Cancel button for cancel load packages will be nice.

Just proposing the quickest & easiest solution for your problem. Guess that next time I won't try anymore to help.

The current software center is going to be replaced as you should have seen in The Roundup #5 and in The Roundup #6 since you took the time to browse the Solus OS site. This has been delayed for after the Solus 4 release.

Regarding your princess stuff: You have to send the knight to the good castle if you want to set her free. Just like post mail... if you don't put the correct address/recipient on the envelop, if may not reach the correct place.

That isn't the point. Third Party has its own bug-tracker and maintainers. Please report issues there.

Should be filed at https://github.com/getsolus/3rd-party as this is simply an issue witha new Chrome being available and 3rd-party not being updated yet. Maybe @Staudey can take a look.

To my knowledge, what you are trying to do requires grub for both BIOS and UEFI installs. We only support GRUB for BIOS installs, not UEFI. So yes, if you want UEFI support it will need to be a separate install.

Note: Solus is not intended to support both BIOS and UEFI at the same time. There is no practical reason that a desktop user would need that.

You can boot from grub, just not on UEFI. We use systemd-boot for UEFI.

We aren't a normal distro so expecting a normal install doesn't make any sense. Solus is intended to be installed on a normally partitioned harddrive. It also doesn't use grub for UEFI installs which is likely part of your issue. Sorry, but what you are asking for is not something we support.

Solus isn't intended to be run as a live system from a USB for everyday use. You can install it to a USB drive that is treated like a normal HDD/SSD. Our live environment is configured significantly differently from other distros which is why you are having so many issues. MultibootUSB installs may be more common in the Linux realm, but they are not as common as you think.

Solus has a helpcenter entry regarding USBiso
