With Ubuntu 10.10 It May Be Easier To Run Wayland
,----[ Quote ]
| Beyond working towards the X Server not
| running as the root user and the
| X.Org/Mesa/Kernel upgrades planned for
| Ubuntu 10.10, it may also be easier to
| test the Wayland Display Server in this
| Ubuntu "Maverick Meerkat" update due out
| in October.
|
| We first talked about Wayland in late 2008
| when the project was still in its infancy
| by Kristian HÃgsberg. Wayland is still
| very much a side-project of Kristian's
| that just receives commits every once in a
| while and has yet to gain any widespread
| adoption, but it still possesses a lot of
| progress. Wayland can run dual nested
| X.Org Servers within it, now runs off Mesa
| rather than Eagle EGL, supports the KMS
| page-flipping ioctl, a DRI2 driver is
| being worked on, and much more. However,
| it doesn't do too much yet for the end-
| user, but that should change once the GTK,
| Qt, or Clutter tool-kits is properly
| supported within Wayland. Right now
| there's just a basic terminal and a few
| demo applications that can run within this
| display server that leverages kernel mode-
| setting.

Tracking The Performance Of Ubuntu 10.10
,----[ Quote ]
| With the development of Ubuntu 10.10
| (codenamed the "Maverick Meerkat") getting
| started and the Ubuntu Developer Summit
| coming up in just a matter of days, we have
| re-launched the Ubuntu Phoromatic Tracker
| to monitor the performance of Ubuntu 10.10
| on a daily basis.
|
| We originally launched the Phoromatic
| Ubuntu Tracker back in March that began
| tracking Ubuntu's performance on a daily
| basis late into Lucid's development cycle,
| but a package upgrade a few weeks into it
| had borked the installations. We have now
| loaded up clean installs of Ubuntu on the
| test systems that are now tracking the
| Ubuntu Maverick repository, albeit so far
| is just some updated GCC packages.

Window indicators
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ayatana Indicators work has given us a
| crisp, clean basis for indicators in the
| panel. Weâve said they will all look a
| particular way, and behave a particular
| way. And weâve said they will be placed on
| the right of the panel.
