Whatâs New In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Alpha 1?
,----[ Quote ]
| As per their report, the new Ubuntu will
| come with a decreased number of games,
| cutting short the number to just 5. The
| Update Installer gets a new button that when
| clicked, will update the Updater itself, so
| that a broken Update installer shall not
| cause problems for other installations.
| Amongst other things, the Software Center
| has earned itself breadcrumbs for smoother
| navigation and a new application called
| Byubo comes pre-installed. Although not
| revolutionary changes, the updates are worth
| checking out, as it is said, âsmall steps
| makes up the complete runâ.

UDS from an embedded hacker's perspective
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ubuntu Developers Summit (UDS), held
| November 16-20 in Dallas, while kicking off
| the development cycle for the next Ubuntu
| release, "Lucid Lynx", had a surprising
| amount to interest a kernel hacker with
| embedded tendencies. The Summit covered a
| wide range of topics from low level kernel
| details, to best community practices, but
| the ARM netbook support sessions were
| particularly interesting. At this UDS, the
| Ubuntu ARM developers set out to enable
| support for many ARM machines in a single
| distribution, a difficult task due to the
| lack of a standard firmware interface on ARM
| systems; a familiar problem to embedded
| developers. This report covers the solutions
| debated at UDS â including Kexec bootloaders
| and the flattened device tree â and the
| choices made for the next Ubuntu release.

Plymouth Gets Pulled Into Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.10 didn't end up seeing
| integration of Plymouth as USplash and the
| new XSplash ended up being used. However,
| the Ubuntu development community and
| Canonical seemed to have changed their
| mind. Just uploaded to the Ubuntu Lucid
| repository for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is in fact
| Plymouth.

| Yesterday we installed Plymouth on an

What will Ubuntu 10.04 bring to the table?
,----[ Quote ]
| I hope you are as excited about 10.04 as I
| am. I believe this could be the Ubuntu
| release that the public would have a hard
| time turning down as its desktop OS. Not
| only will it have a very solid foundation,
| the overlaying structure will be much more
| modern looking.

New Application Stack in Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 10.04, which will appear next April
| 2010 as Canonicalâs long-anticipated third
| LTS (Long Term Support) release, will
| feature substantial changes in the lineup
| of applications installed by default.
| Hereâs a look at the biggest ones, with
| some thoughts.
|
| Judging by the controversy over the
| replacement of Pidgin with Empathy, many
| Ubuntu users do not take kindly to
| decisions to modify the application stack
| in a default installation. Even when the
| change arguably does not compromise
| important features and despite the fact
| that 35,000 applications are always just
| an âapt-get installâ awayâfor those who
| have the bandwidth, at leastâchange tends
| to spawn a lot of ire.

Ubuntu 10.04 May Backport Newer Kernels
,----[ Quote ]
| By the time Ubuntu 10.04 rolls around in
| April, the Linux 2.6.33 kernel will have
| been released and the Linux 2.6.34 kernel
| will be in development, but the Ubuntu
| developers have decided to stick it out
| with the 2.6.32 kernel for a maximum
| stabilization period, especially since
| this is a Long-Term Support release.
