crash after update

[[[global:former-user]]]

Hi again after todays update the vlc player and page manager crashes and i cant get them to work right. Any ideas what it could be ?

[subdes]

Hi again, Techy. We'll need a bit more info to help you out:

1. Which app exactly do you mean by "page manager"? (Partition manager, something in KDE, another tool?)

2. Install and run soplos-debug, then paste the "ANOMALIES FOUND" section:

   sudo apt install soplos-debug

3. If you open VLC from a terminal (vlc), what error shows up right when it crashes?

That'll help us see if this is coming from the update itself (a broken package/dependency) or something specific to your system.

@subdes said:

sudo apt install soplos-debug

you even have your own troubleshooting program?! Another awesome reason to choose Soplos!

[subdes]

That's right! soplos-debug generates a full system report (hardware, kernel, network, graphics, etc.) and automatically flags common anomalies, all locally without sending anything anywhere — really handy for diagnosing issues quickly, both for you and for us. Glad you see it as another plus for Soplos, thanks for the comment!

this application crashes from time to time and sorry for the late answer. I installed the Soplos debug how do i start it ? and vlc player is ok now .

[subdes]

Thanks for the screenshot, that clears it up! What's crashing is Discover (KDE's software manager), not a "page manager".

To run soplos-debug, open it from the app menu (search for "Soplos Debug"), or from a terminal type:

soplos-debug

It'll generate a report at ~/soplos-debug.txt with an "ANOMALIES FOUND" section at the top — paste that section here for us. And glad to hear VLC is working fine now.

Hi Techy,

The PCI devices with no driver (IOMMU, SMBus, AMD instrumentation) are normal, nothing to worry about there.

On the 2 failed systemd services: could you tell us which ones? You can check with:

systemctl --failed

[[[global:former-user]]]

ok. echy@Cyber-Space:~$ systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● vboxadd-service.service loaded failed failed vboxadd-service.service
● vboxadd.service loaded failed failed vboxadd.service

Legend: LOAD → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

2 loaded units listed.

here you are hope it sqays you something i dont understand it and thank you for your help. and im realy pleased with Soplos Linux Tyson. i understand that Soplos is an Spanish word what is your intended meaning of the word or frase Im just curious.

[[[global:former-user]]]

And Kdes software manager Discover crashes all the time now i cant use it

[subdes]

Hi Techy,

On the failed services: they're vboxadd-service.service and vboxadd.service, the VirtualBox Guest Additions services. The Soplos ISO ships with these preinstalled in case it's run inside a virtual machine — but since your machine is real hardware, those services fail because they can't find the VirtualBox environment they expect. It's an expected mismatch, not an actual fault on your system.

You can uninstall them from Soplos Welcome: its hardware scanner detects exactly this case and recommends uninstalling them right from there, no commands needed.

On the meaning of "Soplos": good question! That's something I'm keeping to myself for now — maybe I'll share it down the line.

And on Discover crashing: it's a known KDE/Debian bug (#1145932) we've been tracking — it freezes when displaying PackageKit-backed apps, confirmed to happen every time since the plasma-discover update from Aug 27-28, and it's still not actually fixed upstream despite Debian marking it as resolved. As a workaround in the meantime, plasma-discover --mode Update does work (just for checking updates, not for installing new apps).

ok. Thanks for your help
