Thanks. I think it's the sort of thing that could have done with being covered in a [section of a] blog post.

I only noticed that this was deprecated after it had been removed from my system, likewise with newsboat.

I had to install zathura-poppler manually to fix zathura after this update, which isn't ideal.

I'm afraid not and I don't think I'm going to be able to do so in the near term.

Sounds like this warrants some more research? I realise you already scratched your itch, but any additional insights are most welcome. =)

Yes (I used one VM with them all installed simultaneously, rather than separate VMs for each). At the least, there were several theming issues:

@ermo Yes: https://dev.getsol.us/D8678

Not yet. I wanted to install an Arch VM to have a look at how everything interleaves on there (X server/xinit/xprofile/Xsession/lightdm/... because this isn't something I know a great deal about) but I had a bit of a problem T8871. I've now got a VM running so I can start to poke around it and the wiki soon.

Thanks. I hadn't realised I'd need to add that to the startup configuration.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be accusatory. I suppose I meant "is there a technical reason?"

I just had to reboot?

Yes. This is also discussed more fully by someone more knowledgeable on an issue here on GitHub.

1. NordVPN via OpenVPN ...
2. ... set up with the NetworkManager Applet

Yes, I have added those lines (I came across them while searching about why powerline might be slow), though I didn't need them before, but it still seems noticeably slower than before, for me anywary, even after the first time.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be unclear.

e.g.

$ dmsg | tail
`[ 1159.205956] vcut[2436]: segfault at 7ffc1bcc40c5 ip 00007fcbdce02451 sp 00007ffc1a3b0bd8 error 4 in libc-2.26.so[7fcbdcd4e000+1db000]

c.f. T6292, patch from here.

T6298 was my issue.

Variation on a theme: For a little while the wifi hasn't connected automatically but since the last updates the nm applet disappears when I manually connect.

Yes. I was being a bit slow to begin with and couldn't see how to properly start over. I just documented it as an aide memoire for myself as much as anything else.

Thanks. Sorry, I was being stupid.

Given 36345dc94e11, shouldn't this be closed now?

N.B. I wasn't sure of what to do about this part of the README:

c.f. T4105

The cell highlighting still seems to work if one double clicks on a cell, rather than clicking on the formula bar. I'll close this to reduce clutter, and, if it still bothers me, pursue upstream.

There is already a package request for this (T4694).

Thanks Josh.

Don't forget to fully complete the package requests form. i.e. add:

• if it is open source
• how many users you think would use the software
• a link to the latest release tarball

D1079

OK. Thanks for the reference .eopkg. I did a grep -v using that to compare that files.xml mine and found a 'typo':

Yes I was. Booting into "UEFI boot + secure boot off" worked fine, thanks. I think I only tried "UEFI + secure boot on" before, which didn't work.

No recurrence. Still seems fine.

This is really weird. I have just come back after a weekend away and it seems to have sorted itself out.

Right, I gave that a go but 'clean' doesn't sound like 'broken'?
(I do get messages like systemd-fsck clean X/Y files, x/y blocks at every boot)

live@solus ~ $ sudo fsck -V /dev/sda2
fsck from util-linux 2.26
[/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /dev/sda2] fsck.ext4 /dev/sda2

/dev/sda2: clean, 236196/6553600 files, 2828945/26214400 blocks

Reinstalling zlib didn't resolve the issue. I tried the eopkg check and got a slightly longer list without sudo for some reason. Reinstalling did not fix gnome-control-center, gvfs(, and python), which are the extra ones during the run without su permissions.

No... it's still persisting:

I reinstalled Solus this morning and everything seems fine now. I think my (old) hardware makes some odd, random errors sometimes like this and T1752; I also used to sometimes have some odd errors with dpkg in Ubuntu 14.04 where one character would have changed in a text file, yielding an error.

I just checked this and I clicked on "Browse all applications" at the bottom of the pop-up that says that "there are no such applications" and then selected KeePassX. After this, double clicking on a database in Nautilus opens KeePassX.

Very grateful for your perseverance nonetheless.

Apologies if I have misinterpreted.
I saved the *.eopkg to ~/Downloads and from there:

I have checked on and off, including just now, and the error has persisted.

Many Thanks.

The problem was nothing to do with Brasero; that just happened to be the program I was trying to install from the software centre when it wouldn't work, as I described in previous posts.

Right, I fixed it.

First off I'm definitely not using the unstable repository:

Thanks Tristan. Unfortunately, it didn't work:

It is already installed:
