DeepComputing Unveil RISC-V AI PC Running Ubuntu 24.04

Ubuntu is one of the leading Linux distributions for RISC-V hardware thanks to Canonical’s strategic partnerships with companies like DeepComputing – who just announced their powerful new RISC-V AI PC running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC is built around the new company’s new RISC-V Mainboard II, designed for use in the Framework 13″ or 14.2″ laptops. Owning a Framework laptop is not a requirement since a nifty enclosure allows the mainboard to be used like a regular PC. The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC—apologies for the caps, its how it’s stylised—uses ESWIN’s advanced RISC-V AI SoC EIC7702X—sorry for even more :sys_more_orange:

Canonical Brings Ubuntu 24.04 to Qualcomm Dragonwing Vision Kit

Canonical has announced the first official Ubuntu desktop image for the Qualcomm DragonWing platform. A beta image of Ubuntu 24.04 desktop compatible with Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 and QCS5430 processors, and specifically tailored for the Qualcomm RB3 (Gen 2) Vision Kit and RB3 (Gen 2 Lite) Vision Kit is available for testing. Ubuntu 24.04 server images were previously available for the same model vision kits, so it’s the addition of desktop builds that is an interesting development. Canonical say marrying a full Ubuntu desktop experience married with “powerful AI acceleration with high-performance graphics” in the Dragonwing devices provides “a powerful development environment :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu Fixes Wi-Fi Connection Fail at Login Screen

Ubuntu users frustrated by the inability to connect to a new password-protected Wi-Fi network at the login screen will be pleased to know a fix is rolling out. This particular bug affects users of both Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. When trying to join a wireless network at the login screen (GDM) which requires a password, the password input prompt never appears and the connection fails. Why does—soon to be ‘did’—connecting to a wifi network at the Ubuntu login screen fail?

The Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS release is now available to download, albeit one week later than initially planned. Serving as the second point release in the current Ubuntu 24.04 LTS series, Ubuntu 24.04.2 compacts the slew of security, bug, and software updates pushed out to the Noble Numbat since the last point release ISO was spun in August 2024. Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS also brings an updated hardware enablement stack (HWE).

‘Unfortunate Incident’ Means Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Won’t Be Released This Week

Bad news for anyone expecting Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS to drop tomorrow – the release has been delayed by a week. An ‘unfortunate incident’ caused some Ubuntu 24.04.2 images to be built without the HWE kernel on board (Linux 6.11), Canonical’s Utkarsh Gupta reports. Since including a new kernel version is a key part of new point release media, it needs to be there. Building a new Ubuntu installer image is only one part of the task given that, once built, each ISO also needs to undergo testing. There’s not enough time to do all of that and still meet the :sys_more_orange:

Canonical’s Florent Jacquet shares the date on the Ubuntu Developer mailing list today along with a note to developers to be mindful of their package uploads to noble in the coming weeks. As a result, if you’re using the latest long-term support release you may notice a slightly drop-off in the number of non-essential updates Software Updater bugs you to install between now and February 13.

KDE neon Users Can Now Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04

KDE neon users can now upgrade to rebase their systems on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. For those unfamiliar with it, KDE neon is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that is something of a reference platform for KDE Plasma. It’s available in User, Testing, Unstable, and Developer editions. KDE neon (User Edition) is the ‘stable’ version but still described as suiting ‘adventurous KDE enthusiasts’ rather than those seeking a rock-solid, totally-reliable distro. KDE neon isn’t tested as a distro as throughly as, say, Kubuntu. But if you want the benefits of the Ubuntu 24.04 package set with the latest KDE Plasma 6.2 release :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu Fast-Tracks AppArmor Fix for Flatpak Apps Failing to Start in Ubuntu

The recent update to AppArmor to fix issues with 3rd-party apps unable to run on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS due to its security hardening inadvertently prevents a fleet of popular Flatpak apps from running. The Telegram Desktop, KeePassXC, and Steam clients are among Flatpak apps affected, some throwing an apparmor="DENIED" error apparently due to the AppArmor profile for the Bubblewrap sandboxing tool (used by many Linux apps) in the prior update. To be clear: snap, DEB, and binary versions of the software above aren’t affected, only Flatpaks. But good news: Ubuntu’s developers got to work to identify the cause, aided by :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu’s App Center Updated, Can Now Open/Install DEB Packages

Ubuntu’s Flutter-based App Center can now open and install 3rd-party DEB installers. An App Center update that adds support for ‘side-loading’ DEB packages began rolling out to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in the past few weeks (but as snaps update in the background silently, without any indication or alert, I only just noticed). To be clear: this is about being able to install DEB packages you download from the web (e.g., Google Chrome, Discord, Steam, Vivaldi, Slack, etc) using App Center. It’s not about installing DEBs from the Ubuntu repos, which was already possible. With this update it is :sys_more_orange:

AppArmor Update Coming to Fix Broken Apps in Ubuntu 24.04

If you’ve been experiencing issues getting some apps to run or work properly in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS it may be down to the distro using AppArmor to restrict the creation of user namespaces. This change (which I touched on in my article look at what’s new in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) is there to bolster security. After all, no-one wants icky apps free to do icky things, unchecked. But the change means AppArmor policies are (somewhat expectedly) preventing some apps from running at all, and breaking features in other apps if they rely on components AppArmor isn’t configured to allow.

Keep Losing OneDrive File Access in Ubuntu 24.04? Here’s a Fix

Of the (many) handy new features in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the ability to access OneDrive files through the Nautilus file manager as a remote mount. This is made possible by the msgraph package, a new gvfs backend that Nautilus can use, account integration through GNOME Online Accounts (GOA), and Microsoft giving GNOME the relevant permission and approvals. And while the file-access feature isn’t obvious to set up, it’s easy once you know how.

Ubuntu Core Desktop Delayed, Won’t Be Released in April

But those plans have changed: [Ubuntu Core Desktop] won’t be released by 24.04, and unfortunately, I can’t provide a date until :sys_more_orange:
