Ubuntu 19.04 is Named ‘Disco Dingo’

omgubuntu.co.uk: Ubuntu 19.04 is Named ‘Disco Dingo’. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/10/ubuntu-19-04-name-revealed OMG! Ubuntu! The name of Ubuntu 19.04 has been revealed — and it’s  definitely a distinctive decision! As listed on Launchpad , the home of Ubuntu development, the Ubuntu 19.04 name is logged as “Disco Dingo”. Ubuntu 19.04 will be the next stable Ubuntu release and come backed by 9 months of updates. It’s due for release in April 2019. Thus far there’s no alliteratively littered blogpost from Ubuntu’s space-faring founder Mark Shuttleworth, the sort that would cement the new name within our collective consciousness, but in many ways the name speaks for itself… What’s in a name? The codename of each Ubuntu release is traditionally made up of an adjective (a descriptive word) and an animal, both beginning with the same letter. But that’s only partly true this time. The word  Disco  is actually both a noun and a verb rather than adjective. A disco is a type of clu

Ubuntu 18.10 will be released this October, and we already have information about the new Ubuntu’s features, changes, release date, and more. Some of you requested an article for 18.10 like we did one for Ubuntu 18.04, so here it is. Though it’s still relatively early, there is some information available about the new features, what will be changed, the name, and more. Communitheme, the theme that was originally developed for Ubuntu 18.04, will be the new default theme in 18.10. This is a whole new, fresh look to Ubuntu. The developers are still working on the theme and there may be more changes and style updates. As of Late July 2018, Communitheme is known by its new name – Yaru. GNOME 3.30 The newest version of GNOME, 3.30, is scheduled for release this September, which means it’s likely that Ubuntu 18.10 will use the newest version of GNOME, though this still hasn’t been confirmed. Android Integration by Default Ubuntu 18.10 will likely ship with an Android integr

A first look at Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop - Ubuntu's long-term support desktop is a welcome refresh.

Last month, Canonical released Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (codenamed "Bionic Beaver") , the latest long-term support version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. Ars is working on a full review of the release, but I wanted to share some first impressions of the desktop, which is a major advance over the last LTS version. Canonical made a bit of a U-turn in its interface plans while developing the last interim release of Ubuntu (17.10, codenamed "Artful Aardvark")—dropping development of its homegrown Unity interface and application launcher (as well as development of an Ubuntu phone), saying goodbye to the Ambiance interface theme of old and embracing the GNOME 3.28 desktop instead. Also significant is the integration of Snapcraft's "snap" format—a universal containerized installer format for packaged applications on all Linux platforms—into Ubuntu's application store. Ubuntu had settled on the Wayland display server for 17.10 as a default because Canonical

Intel's Microcode Update for Spectre Exploit Is Now Available in Ubuntu's Repos

Image
Canonical announced a few moments ago that Intel's latest microcode update for the Spectre security vulnerability is now available from the software repositories of all supported Ubuntu Linux releases. After releasing earlier this week  new kernel updates  to mitigate the Meltdown and Spectre security exploits that put billions of devices at risk of attacks by allowing a local, unprivileged attacker to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, Canonical now released the  updated microcode from Intel  for supported Intel CPUs. Canonical says that the update provides microcode patches that are required by the corresponding Linux kernel versions used in  Ubuntu  17.10 (Artful Aardvark), Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus), Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) operating system series to mitigate the Spectre vulnerability. "It was discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads vi

8 Crazy Linux Predictions for 2018 - OMG! Ubuntu!

Image
With a new year upon us we felt it was time to share some of our Linux predictions for 2018. Whether they are likely to happen, or just hopeful thinking, is up for debate. But 2017 showed us that nothing is truly predictable. During the previous 12 months we saw: Linux market share increase  to suspiciously high levels Ubuntu drop Unity and return to the GNOME fold Big name games launched on Linux Wayland ship by default on more distributions Several new Linux kernel releases And a lot more! But what does 2018 have in store for Linux? Well, here are 8 predictions for the coming year to get you thinking… Our Linux Predictions for 2018 1. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Will Be Big News Prediction: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will be the most popular release of Ubuntu in years. An Ubuntu-focused news site suggesting that a new Ubuntu release will go down well is —let’s face it— hardly unexpected. But indulge us for a second because Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ‘Bionic Beaver’ is  not  a typical release. It’s actually s
