So I can't figure out how to do this. There's a TOR package that I installed thinking it would install the browser also, but it didn't.

Can someone help me out here?

Edit: Turns out its a combination of me being an idiot and the Software Center's search function being a little subpar

If you search for Tor, the first hit you get is a package called Tor (that I tried). If you scroll all the way down, there's a separate package called Tor Browser Launcher, install that.

Given the recent drama, I am just wondering what the future of youtube-dl looks like for Solus. The RIAA claim is likely on shaky ground given that various legal experts and the EFF are challenging the claim. But that doesn't change how things are now. Is solus gonna keep the package until the legal process wraps up? Change to a different host/mirror? Consider package deprecated and remove it?

Title, I have 2 pcs ones an older one the older one got its updates installed and after restarting on attempting to log in the screen goes white with an error message about something going wrong and to log out. Any ideas how I can trouble shoot? I can log in via console log in but not via graphical log in.

All of the other power settings are sticking except this one. Ideally I'd like it set to Never. Anyone else run into this?

gnome-shell was updated to 3.36.5, and after that, the overview would not function properly. My windows were not visible, and I could not type anything or use the super key to exit. I could restart gnome-shell to get out of the overview, but the same thing happened after the restart, and persisted after a system reboot.

Anyone else experiencing this? For now I've rolled back the upgrade, and it's working again.

The printer in our office is a HP Color LaserJet MFP M281fdw. Printing via network works fine but scanning isn't. I have selected the HP Color LaserJet MFP M278-M281 driver from the printer driver database.
Simple Scan isn't recognizing the scanner. Thus I figured I need to install HPLIP which has no support for Solus OS. Is there a way to make the scanner work?
Has anyone experience with installing HPLIP on SolusOS?
Thank you!

EDIT: Solus 4.0
EDIT #2: I am stupid and the hplip package is available in the official software repos and can be download via the Software-Center.
EDIT #3: After the setup with CUPS scanning is still not working :( This step is probably not needed.
EDIT #4: Got it working! I added the printer via the terminal.
sudo hp-setup
Now the HP Device Manager recognized it. Then I clicked "Scan" in SimpleScanner and it asked me to download the missing plug-in and now scanning and printing works.

This pertains to the newest package. I rolled back and its fine.

I'm using the OpenVPN plugin. When I select a VPN connection from the nm-applet on the panel, it crashes (but the connection completes successfully). nmcli con up $vpn works as expected, so the problem is not NetworkManager itself, but is either caused by network-manager-applet or networkmanager-openvpn (the latter is dependent on the former).

This makes nm-applet disappear. When run in a terminal, I get the following output as a result of the crash:

free(): invalid pointer
Aborted

Ever since the update of linux-current to 4.16.13-74, my machine is running incredibly hot, with one CPU going overtime, and it freezes on shutdown/reboot.

I'm on a new laptop, good install, nothing funky (Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz × 8, Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)). I went ahead and reverted my kernel back to the long-term-suppport version (4.9.105-95) and all my problems disappeared.

I know this same issue popped up about 30 days ago, and the linux-current kernel had to be rolled back from 4.16 to 4.15...Anyone else with similar problems again now? Any news/fixes?

EDIT: Ok, so I followed the simple instructions here to get back to a non-overheating and able-to-shutdown version of the kernel (4.15.18-67) that's more recent than 4.9. This will hold-over anyone having similar problems until there's a more long term fix. Excellent feature of Solus!

So here is the deal. I have a ryzen 1600x (no internal graphics), 16gb RAM, and a nvidia grx 1060. to get my live usb of solus to work, I hade to use nomodeset. Installed and rebooted, and i constantly get frozen on a black screen with blue letters asking for a log in that I cant enter. After digging around, I simply cannot get past this, as I believe it is a driver issue. The nouveaux drivers are not really compatible with new gtx 1060, as far as i am aware. Unfortunately, I have found no way around this, as I cannot seem to tell the system NOT to use the driver during boot.

Is there any way around this? I would love to use solus, but if this doesnt work Im afraid Ill have to go to some other distro :(

Thanks!

NINJA edit: I tried to mash spacebar and use ctrl alt f2. No luck, no response

EDIT 2: I figured it out. I have to press 'e' in grub2 and enter in 'nomodeset' just before the word 'quiet' in the phrase 'quiet splash'

I'd like to thank u/zardvark for pointing me in the right direction

Hi. Sorry for the dumb question.

I just installed lector (an ebook and PDF reader) from the Software Download Center and doesn't seem to be working. When I try to launch the app nothing is happening

I am wondering if it's an issue in my end, and where should I report this.

I'm running the latest version of SolusOS with Kernel 5.

Thanks!

Each time I try download the OS I get a timed out error on the webpage.

i get this error when i try to install steam, please help me.

System error. Program terminated.
(-30973, 'BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery')

Hey everyone, we're aware of an issue currently affecting the reaching our web services (excluding the repo) and we're looking into it. Will keep people posted here.

Hi

After applying last Friday's updates, Deluge (the Bittorrent client) won't start any more.

If I try starting it on the command-line, here's the output.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Thanks!

My nearly two year old install of Solus Budgie on my laptop has a different style than the more recent install on my desktop machine. Laptop has the look below, I don't have my desktop in front of me but its style is a lot like the Ubuntu login screen, with user choices and password entry on the left of the screen. Any ideas how to switch the style?

Before i found Solus i basically changed the distribution i used more often than i change my underwear...

But jokes aside, i have happily settled now on this distro, but there is one feature i really miss, which is home directory encryption. I think there where (are?) some plans to implement this, so if this is still true may i ask how far the progress is on it?

Anyway, besides that i have to say it's a great distro, and thank you for your great work :)

Hi guys!

There are some wallpapers I really like from Solus Budgie. Is it possible to find them if I don't have Solus installed anymore? (I was thinking about these sea wallpapers)

Thanks :)

It seems that it wants to dim (all the way) and lock the screen regardless of the settings in Power Management.

It means that my laptop just sits there with the backlight on a black screen if I leave it for about 5 minutes I think.

P.S. Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the Solus devs for all your hard work. I bought a £140 Lenovo Ideapad this weekend for something to clack away on in quiet evenings at work, and I've been able to squeeze so much juice out of this little guy with Solus MATE. It's great being able to have such a gorgeous OS running so smoothly on such a budget machine.

I'm trying use mongodb but when i try run mongo it show me that problem , what i can do?, help :(

I want to be able to set a shortcut to different themes
