Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28 Is Out Based on Ubuntu 25.04 and Linux Kernel 6.14

6 mai 2025 à 17:25

Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28

Clonezilla Live maintainer Steven Shiau released today Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28 as the latest stable version of this partition and disk imaging/cloning tool based on Debian/Ubuntu.

Coming two months after Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-9, the Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28 release is based on the Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) operating system series and it's powered by Linux kernel 6.14 to offer users the best possible hardware support when running Clonezilla Live to backup their data.

This release also ships with new packages that are installed by default and therefore available on the live system to use as you need, including libfsapfs-utils, usb-modeswitch, and fscrypt, along with a new ocs-find-live-key tool that can be used with the ocs-put-log-usb tool to copy Clonezilla Live's log files when running from RAM.

On top of that, Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28 updates the ocs-live-repository package with a new dev=///OCS_LIVE_USB option to allow users to assign the Clonezilla Live USB drive as the image repo, especially when running Clonezilla Live USB drive from RAM.

[su_quote]"The Clonezilla live USB drive has to be vFAT file system since it's used to boot in both UEFI and MBR mode. Hence, it is not a good choice for an image repo since vFAT file system has many restrictions. Better to use UUID or LABEL to assign the image repo. Improved the saving dialog menu and prompt," said developer Steven Shiau.[/su_quote]

Other than that, this release introduces a new mechanism for mitigating the random order of block devices via the ocs_1_cpu_udev boot parameter, enables support for the Btrfs file system in the drbl-ocs.conf file for compatibility with Partclone 0.3.36, and disables the devices list cache mechanism to improve performance.

Check out the release announcement for more details about the changes included in this new Clonezilla Live release. You can download Clonezilla Live 3.2.1-28 right now from the official website as a live ISO image or a USB image archived as a zip file. Clonezilla Live is only supported on 64-bit machines.

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 Improves Support for Multi-Screen Setups, NVIDIA GPU Users

6 mai 2025 à 20:47

KDE Plasma 6.3.5

Today, the KDE Project released KDE Plasma 6.3.5 as the fifth and last maintenance update to the latest KDE Plasma 6.3 desktop environment series to address more bugs, crashes, and other issues reported by users during the five weeks since KDE Plasma 6.3.4.

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 is here to fix a black or flickering lock screen issue for NVIDIA GPU users, a visual glitch with window shadows when using Night Light on certain hardware, a KWin crash caused by GPU resets, and a regression with the Activity Switcher sidebar being mis-positioned on multi-monitor setups.

KDE's window and composite manager, KWin, received quite the attention as this release also fixes a crash that occurred when disconnecting a laptop from certain docking stations, an issue causing it to schedule constant screen repaints while the screen was dimmed, which wasted resources, and several other crashes.

In addition, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 improves support for multi-screen setups by addressing an issue where the UI would inappropriately show the settings of a different screen when reverting a change to the other screen's settings, as well as a Plasma crash related to power-cycling screens.

This release also improves printing support by offering users the option to set a new printer as the default one when adding multiple printers, adds support for Qt 6.8.3 and Qt 6.9 for the Meta+P shortcut for opening the screen chooser overlay, and fixes several bugs related to notifications not moving to new positions.

Moreover, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 fixes a bug that caused notifications that included the < character to cut off all the following text, fixes a visual glitch on the Recent Files page in System Settings to highlight grid items when the whole grid view is disabled, and fixes a bug causing the Sticky Notes widgets to forget their custom size when resizing them.

The Plasma Discover package manager was improved as well in this release by addressing an issue with the “Still looking…” message being displayed un-centered, an issue with the header text for offline upgrades being displayed incorrectly at very narrow window widths, and a semi-common yet random-seeming crash.

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 also improves the Task Manager widget so that the group dialog pop-ups no longer rotate 180° when using reversed mode on a vertical panel, and makes the "audio is playing" icons less blurry when using a fractional scale factor.

Last but not least, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 fixes a bug that could cause the relevant numbers in a newly created Weather widget to show the wrong values until restarting, as well as an issue where the tooltip text in Plasma could be unreadable when using certain non-default color schemes.

Check out the full changelog for more details about the changes included in this release. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the stable software repositories of your favorite GNU/Linux distributions for the KDE Plasma 6.3.5 packages and update your installations as soon as possible for a more stable and reliable Plasma desktop experience.

Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) Daily Build ISOs Are Now Available for Download

7 mai 2025 à 10:58

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka

As of May 1st, 2025, Canonical has officially opened the development of Ubuntu 25.10 (codename Questing Quokka), and now they have published the first daily build ISO images for early adopters, application developers, and general public testing.

As expected, the first Ubuntu 25.10 daily builds are based on the previous Ubuntu release, Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin), which arrived last month on April 17th, which means that they include the same core components and software versions as the Plucky Puffin release, such as Linux kernel 6.14 and GNOME 48 desktop.

During the six-month-long development cycle, the Ubuntu 25.10 daily build ISOs will be updated with many highly anticipated GNU/Linux technologies, such as the upcoming Mesa 25.1 graphics stack and Linux 6.17 kernel series, as well as the upcoming GNOME 49 desktop environment.

The toolchain will be updated to recent technologies like GCC 15, GNU Binutils 2.45, Python 3.13, LLVM 20, Boost 1.88, and others. Also, it looks like Ubuntu 25.10 will be the first major Linux distribution to adopt sudo-rs as the default implementation of sudo.

You can download the first Ubuntu 25.10 daily build ISO images from the official website. Daily builds of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and the rest of the official Ubuntu flavors are also available for download here with the same desktop environments used by default in Ubuntu 25.04.

However, you should keep in mind that these are pre-release versions that may contain bugs and other issues preventing you from having a stable Ubuntu experience. Therefore, DO NOT install them on a production machine!

The final release of Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) is expected on October 9th, 2025. Until then, the beta version of Ubuntu 25.10 is expected on September 18th, and the Release Candidate (RC) version should arrive on October 2nd, 2025.

Two “Ubuntu Testing Week” events are also scheduled for June 26th and August 21st, 2025, respectively. During these “Ubuntu Testing Week” events, Canonical expects the community to test drive the upcoming Ubuntu release and report bugs.

Raspberry Pi OS Gets New Printers App, Linux 6.12 LTS, and Wayland Improvements

7 mai 2025 à 18:24

New Raspberry Pi OS

The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced today a new version of their Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi computers that introduces some new features, better touchscreen handling, and various Wayland improvements.

The new Raspberry Pi OS release improves screen locking by adding a custom front end that gives them a bit more feedback as to what is happening, while allowing them to lock the screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L, or by via the 'Lock Screen' option in the ‘Shutdown…’ dialog.

There's also a new Printers app that lets you connect to and control printers, as a replacement for the system-config-printer application. Moreover, the new Raspberry Pi OS release promises better handling of touchscreens in a Wayland environment by allowing users to choose between mouse emulation or native touchscreen behaviour via Touchscreen > Mode in the Screen Configuration app.

[su_quote]"The main disadvantage of no longer using mouse emulation is that it isn’t possible to double-click by tapping the screen twice, and this makes navigation in the file manager rather difficult," said Simon Long. "There are a couple of workarounds specific to the file manager: you can enable ‘Open files with single click’ in the file manager preferences, or use a tap-and-hold to open the context-sensitive menu and then choose ‘Open’."[/su_quote]

Moreover, touchscreen users will get an updated Squeekboard virtual keyboard that lets them choose the screen on which it is shown when using multiple monitor configurations via the Display tab on the Raspberry Pi Configuration app.

Among other noteworthy changes, the new Raspberry Pi OS release separates console (CLI) and desktop auto login options, allowing users to choose between them in the Raspberry Pi Configuration and raspi-config apps, updates the default Labwc window manager for Wayland to a newer release (v0.8.1), and bumps the kernel to the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS series.

This release also optimizes the startup of the wf-panel-pi application that's in charge of the taskbar in the Wayland session, which leads to faster boot times, and prevents the zenity tool from creating prompts and dialogs from the command line, which leads to faster startup times.

You can download the new Raspberry Pi OS release right now from the official website. Raspberry Pi OS supports all Raspberry Pi models, including Raspberry Pi 1A+, 1B+, 2B, 3B, 3B+, 3A+, 4B, 400, CM1, CM3, CM3+, CM4, CM4S, Zero, Zero W, and Zero 2 W.

Existing Raspberry Pi OS users need only to update their installations by running the sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade commands below in a terminal emulator or by using the built-in graphical package updater. If you're system is up-to-date, you're running the latest Raspberry Pi OS version (2025-05-06).

Fwupd 2.0.9 Linux Firmware Updater Adds Support for Intel Arc ‘Battlemage’ GPUs

7 mai 2025 à 18:33

fwupd

Fwupd 2.0.9 is out today as the ninth maintenance update to the latest fwupd 2.0 release of this open-source Linux firmware update utility with support for more devices, new features, and bug fixes.

Coming a month after fwupd 2.0.8, this release introduces support for Intel Arc 'Battlemage' GPUs, the ability to allow installing multiple database certificate updates at the same time, support for showing what certificate signed the EFI authenticated variable, new documentation about updating the KEK and database, as well as the ability to use readline to look up inputs from user, and make it optional.

Fwupd 2.0.9 also adds several devices with broken firmware to the UEFI dbx blocklist, revamps the MEI code to allow devices to use multiple interfaces, rewrites the ModemManger plugin to be simpler and more supportable, simplifies the parsing of USB descriptors, and includes more output when using the fwupdtool get-devices --json command.

On top of that, this release also fixes a crash that occurred when installing some Wacom firmware types, a crash that occurred when parsing uevents that aren't KEY=VALUE, a parsing issue with the DFU descriptor when not using the libusb library, a PK and KEK enumeration failure on some systems, and SMBIOS parsing for ROM sizes equal to or larger than 16MiB.

Starting with this release, fwupd no longer enumerates non-updatable OptionROM devices, no longer exports Redfish backup partitions as devices, includes a resolution for more of the HSI failures, no longer allows updating updatable-hidden devices with the fwupdtool command.

It also now requires a reboot after updating Intel CVS devices, properly constructs the authenticated URI when using FirmwareBaseURI, recognizes very old dbx hashes to allow upgrades, and properly handles Redfish location redirects when installing firmware.

Check out the release notes on the project’s GitHub page for more details about the changes included in fwupd 2.0.9, which you can download as a source tarball from the same location. Of course, it is recommended that you install fwupd from the stable software repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution.

Linux Mint 22.2 Codenamed “Zara”, LMDE 7 Will be Called “Gigi”

8 mai 2025 à 15:49

Linux Mint 22.2 Zara

Linux Mint leader Clement Lefebvre revealed today the codename of the next release of the popular, Ubuntu-based Linux Mint distribution, Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”, along with the codename for LMDE 7.

Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” will be based on Canonical’s long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system series, just like the Linux Mint 22 series. The Linux Mint project leader also unveiled the codename of the upcoming LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 distribution as "Gigi".

While Linux Mint 22.2 will pretty much look and feel exactly like Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia", the team plans to improve the default Mint-Y theme by adding a little bit of blue to "make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern", according to Clement Lefebvre.

[su_quote]"Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue we force it to look cold," said Clement Lefebvre. "Another reason this makes the UI look more modern is because this is done a lot nowadays, but it wasn’t done so much 10 years ago. Like with all new trends, sticking to past standards can make things feel outdated."[/su_quote]

Also for Linux Mint 22.2, the devs plan to add support for accent colors to the XDG Desktop Portal XApp to change the accent color in Flatpak libAdwaita applications based on your current GTK theme. This is supposed to work not only in the flagship Cinnamon edition, but also on the MATE and Xfce editions. In addition, they added support for libAdwaita stylesheets in the Mint-X and Mint-Y themes.

Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara" will probably be released in June or July 2025. It will probably still be powered by Linux kernel 6.8, just like its predecessors, Linux Mint 22.1 and Linux Mint 22. However, since Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS comes with Linux kernel 6.11 from Ubuntu 24.10, users will be able to install the newer kernel if they want to.
