Other comments

I waited until last update, installed it yesterday. But problem remains...

Any chance you could try installing the linux-current kernel instead of the linux-lts one you are using noq, and then boot using the linux-current kernel instead of the linux-lts kernel...?

The current linux-current kernel will become the linux-lts kernel very soon, so you would essentially be helping us test the upcoming LTS kernel if you try what I suggest above.

Hello Rune, As much as I see, the linux-current kernel is already installed on my system. Can you please give me some hints, how to boot with this kernel? On my grub startscreen I can only choose between Solus 4.6 Convergence (6.6.63-261.lts) and Solus 4.6 Convergence (alternative boot entries). I think it is none of both?
