Soplos Welcome

2.0.9-1 — May 2026

Packaging fix: removed slide1.png from assets/icons/ which was being picked up as the application icon, causing GNOME Software to display the wrong image.

• App icon in GNOME Software: slide1.png was being picked up by the repo manager and packaged as the application icon. Removed from assets/icons/ so GNOME Software now correctly displays org.soplos.welcome.png.

2.0.9 — May 2026

Drivers tab: VirtualBox Guest Additions updated to 7.2.8 (first release with Linux 7.0 kernel support), now bundled in the package — no internet required at install time. Pango markup fix for the Security & System Protection header.

• VirtualBox Guest Additions updated to 7.2.8: first release with official Linux 7.0 kernel support. The previous script downloaded the obsolete 7.0.20 ISO from Oracle's servers.
• Installer bundled offline: VBoxLinuxAdditions.run is now included directly in the package under assets/vbox/ — no internet connection required at install time.
• DKMS modules compiled for kernel 7.0.9-soplos: compiles vboxguest, vboxsf and vboxvideo via DKMS. The "unable to load vboxguest kernel module" message is expected when the system runs in VMware/QEMU — the modules load correctly inside VirtualBox.

• Pango markup — "Security & System Protection" header: the & character was unescaped in the en and de .po translations, causing a GTK warning (Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon) when the Security tab was created. Fixed by using & in the msgstr of both locales.

2.0.8-9 — May 2026

Recommended tab fixes (Affinity URL, .desktop ownership, RapidRAW reverted to Flatpak, batch install isolation) and Kernels tab improvements (NVIDIA/Liquorix warning removed, Soplos Kernel Installer repositioned and with icon).

• Affinity AppImage URL updated to 3.2.0: the previous URL pointing to 3.0.2 returned HTTP 404, causing wget to exit with code 8 and aborting the entire batch install chain due to set -e.
• Affinity .desktop file ownership: printf '...' > file under pkexec wrote the file as root. Replaced with sudo -u $REAL_USER tee so the file is owned by the real user.
• ES-DE .desktop file ownership: same tee fix applied — .desktop file was being created as root under pkexec.
• RapidRAW reverted to Flatpak: a previous session had incorrectly changed RapidRAW from flatpak install flathub io.github.CyberTimon.RapidRAW to a Debian .deb install. Reverted to Flatpak.
• Batch install chain failure with set -e: the consolidated batch script used a global set -e, so a single failed package aborted all remaining packages in the selection. Each package is now wrapped in its own subshell with set -e isolated — a failure prints a warning and the script continues with the next package.

• Removed NVIDIA/Liquorix warning: the notice advising against using Liquorix with NVIDIA has been removed from the Kernels tab.
• Soplos Kernel Installer repositioned: moved from after XanMod to between Microcodes and the Available Kernels section.
• Soplos Kernel Installer icon added: the section now displays the application icon (org.soplos.kernel-installer.png) with the same layout as packages in the Recommended tab.

2.0.8-8 — May 2026

Two bug fixes: DaVinci GPU patch permission error and Lutris Vulkan patch targeting stale Flatpak deployment.

• Fixed permission error in davinci-gpu-patch.sh: the mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/ call was running as root (via pkexec), causing that directory to be owned by root. Subsequent writes from Soplos WebApp Manager and Soplos AppImage Manager failed with PermissionError: [Errno 13]. The command now uses sudo -u "$REAL_USER" to create the directory with the correct ownership.
• Fixed Lutris Vulkan fix targeting wrong deployment: lutris-vulkan-patch.sh used a plain find that could pick up gpu.py from an old Flatpak deployment instead of the active one. After a Flatpak update, the new deployment had the unpatched file and Lutris kept sending a GPU/vulkaninfo error notification repeatedly. The script now searches under the active symlink (x86_64/stable/active) with -L to follow symlinks, with a fallback that searches any */active/* path for non-standard architectures or branches.

2.0.8-7 — May 2026

Recommended tab — MakeResolveDeb updated to 1.10.0 with split -data package support for DaVinci Resolve 21+.

• MakeResolveDeb updated to 1.10.0 (Recommended tab — DaVinci Resolve): release 2026-05-15 by Daniel Tufvesson. Adds a split -data package for DaVinci Resolve 21+ — the plugins folder is now separated into a davinci-resolve-data package. Drops slow xz -9 compression in favour of default gzip, resulting in significantly faster build times.
• Install step now handles two .deb files: for Resolve 21+, MakeResolveDeb generates a main package and a -data package; both are now installed in sequence automatically.

2.0.8-6 — May 2026

Drivers tab — Triple Wi-Fi detection strategy covering all broken-firmware scenarios.

• Triple Wi-Fi detection strategy (Drivers tab — Repair Wi-Fi button): (1) sysfs /sys/class/net/*/wireless — works when the interface is active; (2) iw dev — works when the interface is down but the module is loaded; (3) lspci -k — works when the module is not loaded at all, which is the exact case of broken Wi-Fi after reboot (module loads but fails to find firmware → circular dependency). The button can now always identify the driver and repair Wi-Fi regardless of the system state.

2.0.8-5 — May 2026

Drivers tab — Wi-Fi auto-repair button with driver detection and NetworkManager restart.

• Repair Wi-Fi button (Drivers tab): automatically detects the active Wi-Fi driver by reading /sys/class/net/*/wireless — no external commands needed. Shows a confirmation dialog with the detected driver and interface name. On confirmation runs modprobe -r <driver>, waits 1 second, modprobe <driver> and systemctl restart NetworkManager. Works with any brand — Intel (iwlwifi), Realtek, Atheros, MediaTek, Broadcom, etc. If no Wi-Fi interface is found, shows a warning dialog instead.

• All 8 languages (ES, EN, FR, DE, PT, IT, RO, RU) updated with Wi-Fi Repair strings (button label, tooltip, confirmation and warning dialogs).

2.0.8-4 — May 2026

Drivers tab detection fixes for Nouveau, AMD and Wi-Fi; Syncthing Tray added to Recommended.

• Nouveau false "installed" state: Now checks /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf for blacklist nouveau — the button correctly shows as not active when Nouveau is blacklisted, even if the package is present.
• AMD false "installed" state: Now requires all three packages (firmware-amd-graphics, mesa-vulkan-drivers, xserver-xorg-video-all) to be installed simultaneously instead of just one.
• Wi-Fi Intel/Realtek false "installed" state: Now combines package presence with lsmod module check — the button only shows as installed when the firmware package is present AND the corresponding kernel module is actually loaded.

• Syncthing Tray (io.github.martchus.syncthingtray) added to Recommended → Utilities: tray application for Syncthing, available as Flatpak from Flathub.

• All 8 languages (ES, EN, FR, DE, PT, IT, RO, RU) updated with the Syncthing Tray description string.

2.0.8-3 — May 2026

Gaming optimizations reworked: RyzenAdj and Lutris Vulkan Fix added, Ryzen Master Commander removed and Ctrl+Shift+Tab navigation fixed.

• RyzenAdj added to Gaming → Optimizations: compiles from source, installs the binary and shared library, and creates a systemd service that applies AMD thermal limits (--tctl-temp=85, --stapm-limit=35000, --fast-limit=35000, --slow-limit=35000) at boot. Designed for AMD mini PCs with proprietary EC firmware incompatible with NBFC.
• Lutris Vulkan Fix button added to Gaming → Optimizations: patches gpu.py inside the Lutris Flatpak sandbox to use /app/bin/vulkaninfo instead of the broken /usr/bin/vulkaninfo path. Must be run manually after Lutris has been launched at least once.

• Ryzen Master Commander removed from Optimizations: incompatible with AMD mini PCs using proprietary EC firmware that blocks NBFC-based fan control tools.
• Automatic Lutris Vulkan patch removed from post_install_script: the Flatpak sandbox is not yet initialized at install time, making the automatic patch unreliable. Replaced by the manual button above.

• Ctrl+Shift+Tab backward navigation: GTK sends KEY_ISO_Left_Tab for this combination, not KEY_Tab. The key handler now checks for KEY_ISO_Left_Tab explicitly so backward tab navigation works correctly.

• All 8 languages (ES, EN, FR, DE, PT, IT, RO, RU) updated with new strings for RyzenAdj and Lutris Vulkan Fix.

2.0.8-2 — April 2026

Software tab expansion with Snap Store and Bazaar, VPN section, CPU Power tool, Calligra/Collabora Office and Docklike removal from XFCE.

• Snap Store & Bazaar added to all three DEs (XFCE, GNOME, KDE/Plasma). Software grid is now 4 × 2. Dependency check dialog warns if snapd or flatpak is missing.
• VPN section: Surfshark (com.surfshark.Surfshark) and Mozilla VPN (org.mozilla.vpn) added to the Security tab as Flatpak apps.
• CPU Power tool added to Gaming → Optimizations: installs linux-cpupower and cpupower-gui for graphical CPU governor control.
• Calligra (org.kde.calligra) and Collabora Office (org.collaboraoffice.CollaboraOffice) added to Recommended → Office as Flatpak entries with batch install support.

• Footer: "Ready/Listo" status text removed — footer now shows only the desktop environment and display protocol.
• Docklike removed from XFCE Customization tab — its functionality is now fully integrated into Soplos Theme Manager.

• Snap/Flatpak install buttons now correctly show "Uninstall" state: snap install/remove uses pkexec and the post-operation callback no longer leaks a GLib.idle_add loop.
• Bazaar install hang: flatpak install now uses --user --noninteractive flags, avoiding interactive prompts that caused the program to freeze.

2.0.8-1 — April 2026

NVIDIA hybrid graphics boot fix, PRIME Offload KDE fix, DaVinci Resolve 21 support, optional patches, Drivers tab rework and Hardware Scanner rework.

• MakeResolveDeb 1.9.0: Full DaVinci Resolve 21 support with process_21(). Package compression changed from gzip level 1 to xz level 9.
• Virtual microphone patch for DaVinci Resolve: Creates a PipeWire virtual mic on systems without a physical capture device.
• Integrated GPU patch (AMD / Intel iGPU): Installs OpenCL stack, i915 firmware, libProResRAW stub and correct environment variables for mini PCs.
• Post-install patches dialog: After DaVinci Resolve install, optional checkboxes offer both patches before cleanup.
• New apps: ProtonVPN, ClamUI, LACT, Resources (system monitor), Soplos Kernel Installer, Portmaster, JoPDF, qBittorrent, JDownloader, PPSSPP, CoolerControl.
• Post-install hooks: Lutris Vulkan patch and PPSSPP Lutris runner execute automatically after install via a post_install_script key.
• Security tab icons: 48 px icons added to all 14 tools with row layout matching Gaming/Recommended tabs.
• Gaming — GeForce NOW WebApp launcher, Flatpak/AppImage/WebApp badges and optimization button tooltips.

• MangoHud now installs via Flatpak: six packages (MangoHud, GOverlay, VulkanInfo, vkBasalt, gamescope, DXVK) with corrected Flatpak IDs.

• NVIDIA Primary mode boot failure: Dracut config files now created before dracut --force to prevent black screen on hybrid laptops.
• PRIME Render Offload on KDE Plasma: Script now detects Intel connector dynamically from /sys/class/drm/ and generates kwinoutputconfig.json to prevent wallpaper loss after reboot.
• Drivers tab crash on startup: _driver_buttons dict not initialized and missing subprocess import caused AttributeError and NameError.
• Hardware Scanner GPU section: Was using results['gpu'] instead of results['gpus']; sections now shown for all hardware including VM tools.
• NVIDIA 590/580 buttons not stored in _driver_buttons — state was never reflected. All 15 driver buttons now registered and auto-refreshed.

2.0.8 — March 2026

Soplos tools install dialog, new Recommended apps, keyboard navigation, UI fixes and full translation quality pass (100% in all 8 languages).

• Soplos tools install dialog: Buttons for Soplos Theme Manager, Docklike, etc. now detect whether the tool is installed and offer to install it via pkexec apt-get install.
• 6 new Flatpak apps in Recommended: Bitwig Studio, Reaper, Zrythm, Ardour (Multimedia), Warehouse (Flatpak manager), PeaZip (archive manager).
• Keyboard navigation: Ctrl+Shift+Tab navigates to previous tab; F1 opens the About dialog.

2.0.7-3 — March 2026

NVIDIA 580 SHA1/sqv workaround, hardware detection improvements and Soplos Sys Cleaner added to Security tab.

• Soplos Sys Cleaner added to Security tab (Cleaning section) with install/uninstall and "Open" button.
• Soplos AppImage Manager added to Recommended → Utilities.
• AppImage badge: Packages installed as AppImage now display a badge. "Official" badge now only shown for APT installs.

• OBS Studio & HandBrake switched to Flatpak (apt versions cause dependency issues on Debian 13).
• Lutris switched to Flatpak in both Recommended and Gaming tabs.

• NVIDIA 580 SHA1 rejection: Replaced cuda-keyring with [trusted=yes] in sources.list, added version pinning (nvidia-driver-pinning-580) and --allow-downgrades flag.
• GPU hardware detection: GTX 16xx/MX550/MX450 → driver 590; Maxwell GPUs (GTX 9xx/8xx) → driver 580. Added _get_lspci_output() caching helper.

2.0.7-2 — March 2026

NVIDIA driver detection improvements, mandatory confirmation dialogs and automatic conflict cleanup before installation.

• GeForce 650M/750M (Kepler MacBooks) correctly mapped to driver 470 instead of nouveau.
• MX/GT series detection patterns improved.
• Installation workflow: Mandatory confirmation dialogs before install; automatic apt purge of existing NVIDIA drivers; explicit install of nvidia-smi, nvidia-settings, nvidia-modprobe, libglu1-mesa; fallback to update-initramfs when dracut is absent.

2.0.7-1 — March 2026

NVIDIA official repository refactor using cuda-keyring for GPG key management and improved fallback logic for Debian 12 and 13.

• Official NVIDIA repository logic refactored to follow official documentation, using the cuda-keyring package to manage GPG keys.
• Better fallback logic for Debian 12 (driver 580) and Debian 13 (driver 590) installation scripts.

2.0.7 — March 2026

Legacy NVIDIA drivers (340/390/470) migrated to APT from Debian Sid, with automatic Soplos Repo Selector launch and two-step guided dialog.

• Legacy NVIDIA drivers (340, 390, 470) now installed via APT from Debian Sid instead of .run files.
• Debian Sid workflow: Two-step dialog guides users to temporarily enable Debian Sid via Soplos Repo Selector before installing legacy drivers.
• Automatic Repo Selector launch: Clicking a legacy driver button opens Soplos Repo Selector automatically and waits for the user to finish.
• APT package names corrected: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver, nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver, nvidia-tesla-470-driver.

2.0.6-3 — March 2026

AppImage permission fix: all AppImages installed to ~/AppImage instead of /opt.

• Errno 13 Permission denied when creating web apps: Affinity Suite, ES-DE and Stacer AppImages now install to ~/AppImage, removing the pkexec requirement that caused root-owned user directories.

2.0.6-2 — March 2026

Gaming tab wallpaper duplication fix on GNOME.

• Gaming wallpapers on GNOME (Boro): Fixed duplication of existing Soplos wallpapers in background settings when installing gaming wallpapers.

2.0.6 — March 2026

• Recommended → Utilities section: Soplos WebApp Manager, Flatseal and Gear Lever.
• Gaming tab: ProtonUp-Qt added to launchers for managing GE-Proton and Wine versions.

• Clean Old Kernels: Critical sort bug where older kernels were kept due to lexicographical sorting. Now uses sort -V for version-aware ordering, keeps running kernel plus latest of each branch (Main, Liquorix, XanMod) and uses apt purge with automatic header cleanup.

2.0.5 — March 2026

Batch installation collision fix in Recommended tab.

• Recommended Tab — Batch Mode: Fixed logic bug that caused custom script applications (ES-DE, Affinity Suite) to collide and fail during multi-selection batch install.

• NVIDIA 590 (590.48.01, RTX 50/40 series) and NVIDIA 580 Production (580.119.02) drivers added.
• NVIDIA Extras section: DaVinci Resolve and Blender CUDA tools separated from main drivers list.
• New Recommended software: Spotify, HandBrake, Slack, Zoom, Postman, RawTherapee, Hugin.

• GPU detection always recommending 580: Correct driver mapping for RTX 40/50, Pascal, Kepler, legacy and professional (Quadro/Tesla) GPUs. Default fallback changed to nvidia-driver (repo).
• Single pkexec authentication: All driver scripts now use a single pkexec bash call.

2.0.0 — December 2025
