the "culprit" is copy-firmware.sh
They made few changes in order to support xz/zstd compression, but they also change the way firmware is copied
Especially, they replace "cp -d $f ..." with "cat $f > ..."
I revert to the previous version of the script with the patch attached, and there is no need to modify "cd $PKG" in the SlackBuild
Instead of removing my duplicate post, they removed both
So, my first solution was to replace cd $PKG with cd $TMP
AMD graphics and wifi on 3 laptops borked. Wife had a zoom meeting at 11:30 , checked her laptop at 11:00. I was like chicken with head chopped of for 15 min before figure this out. Downgraded. Revert before next chicken gets decapitated?

a/kernel-firmware-20230625_ee91452-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
When building the package, install from the download directory rather than
moving the download directory to the destination directory first. Evidently
"cp -d foo foo" and "cat foo > foo" don't exactly behave the same. ;-)
Support a COMPRESSION= variable which may be set to xz or zstd to compress
the kernel modules. For now, we'll stick with uncompressed modules.
isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.
Replaced corrupted firmware.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.
Replaced corrupted firmware.

I will not recommend you to use slackware-current for anything which requires a stable working of computer. I.e. for remote working at home.
Please remember that -current is the development tree of Slackware, and currently it could be considered in alpha state.
Using it means you have joined as beta-tester, for Slackware Project.

Lost wifi, X session OK but an odd error when trying to run vivaldi (sorted after chmod 7455), can't figure out if/how that's related to today's upgrades:
Code:
[2017:2017:0629/103041.238125:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

hi kgha,
i had exactly the same issue. firmware is not the culprit, as i did not upgrade this package. so the source of this problem is something else.
i wonder how this is even possible.
while at it, conty does not work anymore:
Code:
xxxx@xxxx:~/download $ ./conty_lite.sh ls
fusermount3: failed to access mountpoint /tmp/conty_lite.sh_xxxx_304415a/mnt: Permission denied
fuse: unknown option(s): `-o debuglevel=error,workers=2,mlock=try,no_cache_image,cache_files,cachesize=128M'
Mounting the image failed!
rm: can't stat '/tmp/conty_lite.sh_xxxx_304415a/mnt': Socket not connected
used to work before the upgrade. can someone confirm?

Hi dederon,
If your issue is not directly related to the changelog
please feel free to open a new thread in order not to affect the readability of this one.
Using the latest firmware still didn't completely fix the Wi-Fi problem on my end. Wi-Fi will work for a little while but eventually dumps out and no longer works. Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same problem.
