Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray Snapshot 1 released!

Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray has four development snapshots to help you test this version of Ubuntu without having to rely on daily builds. This was done as part of the official plan that the release team have released on the official Ubuntu documentation site.

The official plan stated that the Ubuntu release team wanted to release Ubuntu every six months, while relying on the modern software engineering practices. More automated testing will be made to ensure that future releases will have next-to-zero problems that may cause a delay of the release. Alongside this, the release process will be refined to achieve the goal of little to no human intervention when dealing with releases.

The Ubuntu release team describe the snapshot releases as not production-ready releases, but as testable milestones that allow you to try out the upcoming version of Ubuntu without having to wait until the official release.

You can find those snapshots here:

• Ubuntu
• Edubuntu
• Kubuntu
• Lubuntu
• Xubuntu
• Ubuntu Budgie
• Ubuntu MATE
• Ubuntu Unity
• Ubuntu Cinnamon
• Ubuntu Kylin (麒麟)
• Ubuntu Studio

Why not try out this snapshot to get early access to new features and to report bugs?

Ubuntu 25.10 Flatpak issue fix is on the way!

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka was released a week ago, and it brought many new exciting features. Sadly, it appears that it has broken Flatpak support, as users were encountering errors when trying to install any Flatpak application, and bug reports, such as this one, were being landed to Launchpad.

When Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka was released, users have discovered that the installation of any Flatpak application fails with error messages stating that it’s unable to unmount revokefs-fuse, which is a fatal bug. Additionally, AppArmor generates messages that talk about permission denial of file accesses in /run/mount/utab and its related files, which are /run/mount/utab.*.

The error messages that are generated when trying to install any Flatpak application are:

Warning: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default-FAB3B3: Child process exited with code 1Warning: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default-K8HAC3: Child process exited with code 1Warning: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264-D0P4B3: Child process exited with code 1Warning: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.gnome.Platform.Locale-QP83B3: Child process exited with code 1Warning: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Yaru-dark-M2N7B3: Child process exited with code 1error: Failed to install org.gnome.Platform: Could not unmount revokefs-fuse filesystem at /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-4EB3B3/org.gnome.Platform-EM6KC3: Child process exited with code 1

The bug will be fixed soon, but the fix has landed to the -proposed repository pocket with version 5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu8.1 of apparmor. Before, the version that came with the release was 5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu8.

When this fixed version was installed, people began verifying that the fix actually worked, and it looks like that the fix worked, as Flatpak installations seemed to have succeeded, and that the resulting applications were running fine. However, AppArmor still generates denial messages related to DAC_OVERRIDE and SETUID capabilities.

If the fix lands, you’ll be able to install and run Flatpak applications on your system.
