Hello, I'm a new user looking to use plasma for my desktop environment. As per the documentation, i updated system.yaml with the following:
track: plasma
Then saved the file and ran the following command in Console:...
v3 --> v4 upgrade path?
Will there be a way to upgrade from BlendOS v3 to BlendOS v4?
I ask because the docs I'm finding online say "rolling release", but the v4 info I can find says it needs to be installed on top of a clean Arch install.
I'd very much like to be done with the os-reinstall circus, and I also don't want to spend time building atop v3 if doing an OS re-install will be required for v4+ rolling release....
Solution:
So you have to reinstall (you should have backups of your data anyway)
BlendOs installation failure
Hello, greetings, I installed BlenDOS on a Thinkpad T480, in triple Boot with Arch Linux and Windos 10, in separate partitions, the installation was apparently successful, but at the time of entering BlendOs I get the following error:
error: file '/boot/amd.ucode.img' not found Press any ket to continue....
My video driver is intel.
I don't know how to solve this situation.
Thank you for your support to solve it. Cordially...
Associations remain *in Blend Settings* after container is deleted
The actual association is gone, but it's listed in Blend Settings after the container was deleted using
user.
(note that the association was not created there, it was created automatically, and up until now Blend Settings had never even been opened iirc)...`user create-container` says distro doesn't exist
When running
user create-container fedora fedora-39, it prints the following:
```
[ERROR] distro fedora-39 not supported
>> i: creating container fedora, using fedora-39...Any plans to add Ubuntu 24.04 LTS container support soon?
Hello, it is me again. I gave the blendOS another chance since V3, struggled a bit, then finally managed to install it on my predefined lvm partitions. I am lovin' it! However, I am curious about if there are any plans to support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (24.04.1 as now) containers, or are there any way to manually implement it? Thanks for your time and inputs!
Cannot install to lvm partitions
When try to install it to my /dev/A/ROOT, and set User directory to /dev/A/HOME (with /dev/sda1 as Boot directory), the installer instantly finishes with errors. First I install the "lvm2" package, then the systems starts to being unable for recognizing ext4 or btrfs in those lvms. I utterly tried every possible solution with no avail, any help would be appreciated🍀
Updates reinstall every app and take forever
It makes sense it takes very long to update since i have quite a few packages to install but blendos is seemingly reinstalling every single package I list in
system.yaml?
Am I using this wrong? Whenever I want a new package I put it into system.yaml then run sudo akshara update. With nixos I could just rebuild my system and it would take much less time while only installing and updating stuff that needs to be installed and updated...Solution:
the package data is cached so future builds won't take as long

I just updated my system (gnome track) and it seems that the version of paru installed needs libalpm.so.14 and because it is missing, it can not install AUR packages anymore.?
Does anybody have a suggestion?

Can we make akshara run 'grub-mkconfig' only if grub is installed?
I have a deep deep seething hatred for grub that started back in the opensolaris days. I run systemd-boot or refind on all my machines. Can we make the exec call to grub-mkconfig in akshara be configurable based on the presence of grub packages in the expanded system.yaml or perhaps run as a hook? I am a python developer and would be happy to code this up and send over an MR.

Akshara TypeError when updating
I usually update every couple of days, but I haven't been on my computer in a while, but when I try to update it gives the attatched output, though the main error is:
```Traceback (most recent call last):

Solution:...

new /etc/shells is instead at /usr/etc/shells; old /etc/shells is kept
/etc/shells isn't updated when akshara runs, instead it's being put at /usr/etc/shells on account of this line in akshara.hook:
mv /new_root/.update_rootfs/etc /new_root/usr/etc
mv /new_root/.update_rootfs/etc /new_root/usr/etc
