Ubuntu 23.10 Support Ends July 11 – Upgrade Soon!
Anyone making use of Ubuntu 23.10 “Mantic Minotaur” should be aware that official support for the release ends on July 11, 2024. Which, to reorient the blissfully slow who, like me, feel 2024 is still new, is this week: July 11 is on Thursday. What happens when support for an Ubuntu release ends and it hits end-of-life (EOL)? It’s incredibly dramatic. On July 11th, the Ubuntu desktop starts to disintegrate. The top bar collapses and shatters at the bottom of the screen. Apps explode on launch. Nautilus begins shredding all personal files… And worst of all, a rusty Clippy will :sys_more_orange:

The Odd-Looking ‘App Center’ Icon in Ubuntu 23.10 is Being Fixed
About a week ago I noticed the icon for App Center (the Flutter-based software store-front that replaced Ubuntu Software in 23.10) had changed — and not for the better! At first I assumed it was a snafu caused by me. See, I only noticed the change when I was playing around with scaling options (I was seeing whether 200% scaling on my 2K laptop screen was as bad as I remembered, or if it was just me being a fop for fractional scaling). Anyway, it wasn’t a “me” thing. As App Center is a snap (snap-store ) it gets updated :sys_more_orange:

2/8 Déjà, mon ordi perso : un portable Asus ZenBook UX325. J'y ai installé #ubuntu23_10 fin novembre, en lieu et place de #Windows11. J'ai pris un risque, car je travaille énormément au quotidien avec #Onedrive et la suite #Office365. Pour 90% du reste de mes activités numériques, j'utilisais déjà du libre et de l'opensource (@Mozilla, @videolan, un peu de @libreoffice, etc.). Les quelques jours de "repos" (relatifs !) en fin d'année m'ont permis d'avoir le temps de tester des choses.

Quelque chose de vraiment chouette avec #Linux (distro #Ubuntu23_10), c'est la gestion des imprimantes et des scanners. Je suis épaté.
Sur #Windows11 j'ai TOUJOURS galéré avec ma HP DeskJet 3632, entre obligation d'installer l'utilitaire HP bien relou, gestion hasardeuse du scanner et imprimante souvent "introuvable" quand j'en avais besoin...
Au contraire sur Linux, tout a fonctionné "out of the box", sans avoir besoin de rien installer de plus. Bref, ça fonctionne comme attendu !

Pour accéder à Mastodon, sur #Windows11 j'utilisais principalement l'interface web simple, ou bien parfois le portail @trunksapp, plus complet et plus beau.
Désormais, sur mon système #Linux #ubuntu23_10, je délaisse volontiers mon navigateur au profit de Tuba, une appli récente, qui s'intègre très bien à l'environnement de bureau Gnome. L'interface est à la fois simple et complète.

Alors cela fait maintenant un peu plus d'une semaine que je travaille sur #Linux #ubuntu23_10 avec #Gnome45 comme gestionnaire de bureau (configuré aux petits oignons pour mes besoins à moi).
Eh bien c'est beau ! Bordel que c'est beau ! Je crois que je suis encore en période de lune de Miel de vieux geek :) Et d'un point de vue productivité (pour le moment en tout cas), aucun "show stopper"... !

1/x #Ubuntu23_10
Me voici avec #Linux comme système d'exploitation unique sur mon ordinateur portable personnel, un #Asus #Zenbook #UX325.
Après des années sur Windows. Pourquoi changer ?
1. La politique commerciale de Microsoft de plus en plus lourdingue (pubs et promos ds l'ergonomie même d'un OS pourtant payant)
2. La majorité des applications que j'utilise au quotidien sont déjà opensource
3. Des lourdeurs techniques incompréhensibles sur un Windows 11 installé sur un ordi récent...

GNOME Shell 45.2 Update Rolling out to Ubuntu 23.10
The first point release to GNOME Shell 45 only hit Ubuntu 23.10 at the end of last month, and now a second one is already on its way! GNOME Shell 45.2 was released upstream at the start of December, now Ubuntu’s developers have packaged it up and pushed it out to users of Ubuntu 23.10. It hit the mantic-proposed repo today so assuming no unexpected issues are found in the coming days the update will be pushed out to all users through the regular update channel in the coming week or two. Think of it as an early Christmas treat :sys_more_orange:

GNOME Shell 45.1 Now Rolling Out to Ubuntu 23.10
The recent GNOME Shell 45.1 update is now rolling out to users of Ubuntu 23.10. As the first point release to GNOME Shell since the GNOME 45 release in September, plenty of miscellaneous bug fixes, code cleanups, and crash solution are included. Among specific fixes mentioned in the official upstream changelog: The latter fix for the calendar pop up addresses a quirk where clicking on a date in the bottom row makes the entire applet shrink. Chances are you never noticed this bug as it does not occur if a date in any row above the final one is clicked :sys_more_orange:

Show Your Ubuntu Pride With This New T-Shirt
The French Ubuntu community is celebrating the release of Ubuntu 23.10 in style, with the launch of a brand new t-shirt. Available in a variety of sizes, the charcoal grey shirt carries a custom design featuring a minotaur (of course) in classic dress looking très mantic. An ancient-looking scroll bears the version number in Roman numerals near the neckline, and a similar scroll sits at the bottom to convey the codename. Ubuntu-fr has produced a tie-in tee for each Ubuntu release since 2020, each adorned with bespoke artwork riffing on the release codename. Since it’s no longer possible to buy :sys_more_orange:

Installing Deb Packages in Ubuntu 23.10 is Harder Than It Should Be
When you double click on a deb package in Ubuntu 23.10 an error will say “there is no app installed for Debian package files”. In this post I show you how to work around it. Most of us are accustomed to double-clicking on local deb files to install them (even Chrome OS lets you do this from its native file manager if the Linux development environment is turned on). But in Ubuntu 23.10 it doesn’t work. The spangly new App Center in Ubuntu 23.10 isn’t (currently) able to open, handle, or install deb packages downloaded from the web (despite said :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 is Available to Download, This is What’s New
Get ready to grab the bull by the horns as Ubuntu 23.10 ‘Mantic Minotaur’ is now available to download. This update is a short-term release supported by 9 months of ongoing support, bug fixes, and critical app updates. While it may not sound long (because it isn’t, all told) remember that Ubuntu 24.04 is out in April 2024 as a long-term support release with 5 years of support. Summarising Ubuntu 23.10 in just one word is tricky, but ‘refinement’ feels an apt choice. GNOME 45 brings a bevvy of buffs to the core desktop experience; improved window tiling; a sharper-looking :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10: What’s New? [Video]
Wondering what’s new in Ubuntu 23.10? Wonder no more my friend, as I showcase the top features and core changes in my latest video. The release Ubuntu’s developers dubbed ‘Mantic Minotaur’ makes its way onto the release scene tomorrow (October 12), having been in development for the past 6 months. So to bring you up-to-speed on what’s so special about this short-term release I blew the dust off my video gear and put together a release video. Ubuntu 23.10 is an interesting release for a multitude of reasons. Choosing to make Ubuntu “minimal by default” is a major statement (mercifully :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Will Support Raspberry Pi 5
Here’s some awesome news: Ubuntu 23.10 will support the Raspberry Pi 5. So if you’re among the hundreds of thousands who’ve pre-ordered one of the new models you may be pleased (I say may as chances someone out there won’t be lol) to know you can run the latest version of Ubuntu on it, once you get it. And with up to 3x the CPU performance and up to 5x the GPU performance of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Raspberry Pi 5 is better suited to everyday desktop usage than before. Canonical’s developers got given early access to the Raspberry :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Beta is Now Available to Download
A beta build of Ubuntu 23.10 is now available to download. This development milestone is intended for testing and feedback. It comes ahead of the scheduled stable release of Ubuntu 23.10 on October 12 – a mere 3 weeks away! It’s aim is to allow you and I to kick the proverbial tyres, hunt down bugs, and file reports for any irksome issues we encounter. Given that Ubuntu 23.10 is a short-term release (supported for 9 months) but the last before the next long-term support appears, developers have tried to squeeze a lot in. Thus, Mantic’s development cycle has been :sys_more_orange:

‘Dark Style’ GNOME Extension for Ubuntu 23.10
In Ubuntu 23.10 the default Yaru theme uses a light style for GNOME Shell elements — but there’s a new GNOME extension that lets you change this without affecting the rest of your desktop. Upstream GNOME Shell uses Adwaita, and Adwaita gives the Quick Settings menu, the calendar applet, and desktop notification a dark background. Ubuntu 23.10 uses a light background for these elements (though the distro has flipped between light and dark a few times in earlier releases). You can make GNOME Shell dark in Ubuntu by turning the ‘Dark Style’ toggle on but that also changes the way :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Makes Firefox’s Native Wayland Mode Default
Most of us using Ubuntu use the Mozilla Firefox Snap preinstalled by default — but in Ubuntu 23.10 that package is touting some neat new capabilities. Canonical say the Firefox Snap in Ubuntu 23.10 will ship with Wayland support enabled by default. “But I already use Firefox on Wayland in Ubuntu,” some of you may be thinking — and you’re not wrong. Ubuntu does indeed default to a Wayland session by default, but the Firefox Snap that you use within it actually runs in XWayland mode rather than a native Wayland one. This is what’s changing. Benefits to using Firefox’s :sys_more_orange:

GNOME 45 Arrives in Daily Builds of Ubuntu 23.10
Good news for those looking forward to the upcoming GNOME 45 release – it’s arrived in the Ubuntu 23.10 daily builds! The next stable update to the world’s most-used Linux desktop environment isn’t due to be released until later this month, so what’s made it in Mantic shouldn’t be considered final, finished, or forgone. But Ubuntu 23.10 isn’t due to be released until October anyway, so it all jives nicely. Improvements to libadwaita aimed at enhancing consistency and adaptability bring new full-height sidebars to many of GNOME’s core apps, including Nautilus, Settings, and Calendar: Additionally, the “Activities” label in the :sys_more_orange:

Is Ubuntu 23.10 Too Minimal?
The next version of the world’s most popular desktop Linux operating system (that’s Ubuntu, for those of you playing dumb) will come with less software available out-of-the-box. Current daily builds of Ubuntu 23.10 instead offer a minimal platform pre-populated with just a handful of apps. These cover only the most basic of basic computing needs. For anything else the idea is that we, the user, fire up the Software Store and install what we want ourselves. As an idea, it’s not without merit. But in practice, I think it’s a possible misstep. Basic as a Feature The Ubuntu 23.10 experience :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Won’t Use a Snap’d Printing Stack After all
Ubuntu was planning to ship the CUPS printing stack as a Snap in 23.10 — but after several months of testing its changed its mind. Accordingly, a DEB-based printing stack will feature in Ubuntu 23.10 “Mantic Minotaur” and in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Switching to the CUPS Snap will now happen in the Ubuntu 24.10 release (but work on it will continue in the Ubuntu Core Desktop builds). So what gives? This reversal is undoubtedly disappointing for the devs working on it but it is the right decision for end-users — for the time being. The CUPS Snap doesn’t support all :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10’s New Development Wallpaper (Sunglasses Advised)
A new temporary wallpaper is being introduced in Ubuntu 23.10 “Mantic Minotaur”, which is currently under active development. The aim of the background is to make it “more obvious when testing the mantic daily that it is not lunar anymore”. There’s precedent for this; Ubuntu 23.04 included AI-generate lobster artwork for the bulk of its daily builds. It visual signpost doesn’t just remind developers and enthusiasts which release they’re working on/testing but makes those watching early-bird Ubuntu 23.10 reviews on YouTube etc aware that what they’re seeing is not the final, finished product. Anyway, here’s how Ubuntu 23.10 daily builds :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Will Use Linux 6.5 Kernel
Planning to upgrade or install Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in the autumn? If so, you can look forward to an experience powered by the Linux 6.5 kernel. While the Linux 6.5 kernel is yet to be released yet, the stars (or rather the release calendars) have aligned to make its inclusion in the “Mantic Minotaur” a dead-cert. Current daily builds of Ubuntu 23.10 include the Linux 6.3 kernel. Linux 6.5 is due for release in mid to late August. Ubuntu 23.10’s kernel freeze takes effect on September 28. And the final stable release of Ubuntu 23.10 goes live on :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Switches from DejaVu to Noto Fonts
Ubuntu devs plan on making a major typographic change in the upcoming release of Ubuntu 23.10 ‘Mantic Minotaur’. In an effort to improve the quality and reduce the number of fonts a standard Ubuntu install comes with, the plan is ship the Noto fonts package by default. This package includes sans-serif and serif fonts that cover a swathe of latin and non-latin scripts. In current versions of Ubuntu the DejaVu fonts package is pre-installed and pre-configured to handle non-latin scripts. With this change the Noto fonts will take over duties for cases where DejaVu would be used as the quality :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.10 Adds Support for Window Quarter Tiling
Improved window tiling just landed in Ubuntu 23.10. If you’re a regular reader you’ll be aware that this was coming, as I revealed earlier this year that Ubuntu developers planned to make the Tiling Assistant GNOME extension as part of the default install. That extension is now part of the default install in the latest Ubuntu 23.10 daily builds. So what does this provide? Well, in current versions of Ubuntu when you drag a window to either side of your screen you’re able to “snap” it to 50% of the horizontal space, allowing you to view two apps side-by-side.

Ubuntu Wants to Switch CUPS Printing Stack to Snap
Ubuntu 23.10 is aiming to ship the CUPS printing stack as a snap package. Canonical’s Till Kamppeter, who is also the project lead for the OpenPrinting Project, says he wants to “…switch Ubuntu 23.10, the Mantic Minotaur, as planned, to use the CUPS Snap as its printing system and the Printer Application Snaps as drivers for non-IPP-driverless printers.” Printers are not my forte; I last owned a printer about a decade ago and even then it hadn’t been used for years — not quite a daisy wheel, but getting there 😉!

‘Significant Changes’ to PPAs Coming in Ubuntu 23.10
The way PPAs are managed is changing in Ubuntu 23.10. A new version of the software-properties package is rolling out to Mantic Minotaur daily builds. The update makes brings a “significant change” to the way personal package archives (better known as PPAs) are managed on Ubuntu systems. What’s changing? Well, in current versions of Ubuntu when you add a PPA (via the command line — you can add them via Software & Updates but I’m not sure how key handling works there) a .list file for the PPA is created in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and the corresponding gpg keyring placed at /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d. :sys_more_orange:
