• New themes for SolydX and SolydK. You can choose a light or dark theme.
• Solydxk Systems has a GUI now where you can encrypt partitions, localize your system, select the fastest repositories, hold back packages and cleanup your system. This application needs a lot of testing.
• The backport repository was removed but can be enabled in the new SolydXK System application.
• The solydx/k-info packages were integrated in the solydx/k-system-adjustments packages and are now obsolete.

• Updatemanager is replaced by applications from Debian's repository with similar functionalities and the new SolydXK System GUI.
• SolydXK Softwaremanager has been replaced with an application from Debian's repository.

• [SOLVED] If I select 'Open with File Manger' from the Device Notifier to mount an inserted USB device it is mounted as user but Dolphin is opened as root which often ends in 'The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly'. I have to close Dolphin and open Dolphin as user again to approach the USB device.
  If I first open Dolphin and then mount the USB device it works as expected.
  
  Solved with:

  Code: Select all

  find . -name "*dolphin*" -exec rm -r {} \;

• [SOLVED] update-initramfs shows these warnings:

  Code: Select all

  I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sda3
  I: (UUID=015a952b-92dc-42b7-b9c9-7a2f87e42902)
  I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

  These are described here: viewtopic.php?f=78&t=6878
• [SOLVED] On one test environment I got this message just after Grub:

  Code: Select all

  error: no symbol table.
  Press any key to continue...

  This fixed it:

  Code: Select all

  sudo grub-install /dev/sda
  sudo update-grub
  sudo reboot

initramfs-tools (0.129) unstable; urgency=medium

* Some systems that do not support suspend-to-disk (hibernation) will
require a configuration change to explicitly disable this.

From version 0.128, the boot code waits for a suspend/resume device
to appear, rather than checking just once. If the configured or
automatically selected resume device is not available at boot time,
this results in a roughly 30 second delay.

You should set the RESUME variable in
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume or
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to one of:

- auto - select the resume device automatically
- none - disable use of a resume device
- UUID=<uuid> - use a specific resume device (by UUID)
- /dev/<name> - use a specific resume device (by kernel name)

nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=/dev/sda3
update-initramfs -u
reboot

RESUME=auto
