In Search of Assistance: Please HELP Resolving BlendOS feature v3 with Read and Write
Is there any way to enable manual updates and/or change the read or write mode within the system in blendOS? I know that version 3 does not support manual updates by default and is only in read mode, but I want to see if there is any way to change that.
Solution:
you really should just update to v4
akshara update hanging
I just added a package to system.yaml and when running akshara update it's now hung for a good half hour after generating locales. Any tips?
Solution: can be used to see more detailed information about what it is doing
journalctl -xeu akshara -f
journalctl -xeu akshara -f
is installing with existing /user partition supported in V4
I did try it and the result is this but during install it said error downloading pkgs
Solution:
could you download the latest ISO from the download page ('Master Build Server') and try that?
4.0 beta --> 4.0 final
If I was running the beta, do I need to reinstall with the final .iso, or will it flip over to the final version?
Solution:
sudo akshara update"Press any button to continue"
Hello, i discovered about v4 update and tried to boot it, but it refused to boot from Ventoy(latest version) and threw an error "Press any button to continue"(video attached)
My Asus VivoBook specs:

Blend OS v4 doesn't boot on bare metal
the new v4 stable ISO doesn't boot on bare metal with systemd throwing an error about a qemu service failing, it doesn't get far enough to generate logs or be able to switch to a TTY (when the latter is attempted, it immediately snaps back to the output of systemd, which just shows the aforementioned qemu error).

xorg-server wasn't installed xDAurora fails to install in v4 beta
Just installed the new v4 iso. Aurora fails to install but F-Droid installed just fine
Solution:
i don't have the time these days to mess with it so i'm just using scrcpy instead on blend. kind of annoying but it works for the one or two android apps i want to see and control from my desktop
BlendOS mirrors are down.
Images.blendos.co is down. This means "sudo system track" does not work and updates cant be applied. I would like this to be fixed because "system" is one of the core functionalities and I think this would harm the reputation of BlendOS,
Solution:
v4 is stable, so the image server has been depreceated.

v3 backdoor what does that mean
Hey, so my v3 is backdoored as metioned in the announcment, but as I am not a professional linux user what does it mean for the things I did on my system? Could the attacker read my passwords or what is there to actually to fear about this? What would you advice to do now other than set a new system up like f.ex. v4?
AV1 Webm Video stuck or stuttering
Recently I wanted to watch a AV1 Video in 4k, no matter if in mp4 or webm format, it will always stutter or even stuck no matter which player I use. SMplayer only stutters badly while vlc and firefox stuck at some point. I use an Intel Arc 750 and Intel 11400 i5 CPU with 16 gb ram should be enough power. Perhaps you can point me in a direction, may not be blendOS specific but perhaps more wayland or so, thanks in advance
Why is this working now?
Hey Guys, Recently switched from Mint to BlendOS.
I am a musician and have hooked up a M-Audio fw1814 Interface connected via VIA:D Firewire Card to my PC. For these cards to control all of their in and output channels you have to use the program ffado.
Now on each boot when the pc was not in use for longer, ffado would not run no matter if in pipewire on blendos or pulse audio/Alsa/Jack on mint. The errors always were something like no dbus connection, unfortunately I forgot to take a screenshot and now cant reproduce it. Had to reboot then ffado worked like it should.
Since yesterday, Jan 5, the issue isn't present at all on Blendos.
No matter how long the PC is shut off even if its totally disconnected from power, ffado works at every boot. Now I want to desperately know why this works now, I tried to solve it for years and now it fixed itself somehow....

How to save the Podman containers Blend v3
So it looks like I some how lost my podman container. Specifically a Syncthing container I created. I presume the layer was deleted after a reboot. I think I missed a step. Is there a way that I can manually create a podman container that can survive a reboot?
Manual Podman containers in the BlendOS Settings panel?
So I've managed to get Syncthing setup its own Podman container and I was just curious if there was a way for that container to show up with the rest of the Blended Linux containers?
audio applications
So I have a few Audio applications that will need access to direct and USB connected Audio Interfaces, will there work fine from a Container?
