Hi folks, Today the Ubuntu 21.04 Beta is now available for testing that means were just 3 weeks away from the Final release.
Note: This is Beta software and there will be bugs so do not run this on any production/daily driver machines of yours. If you have any spare hardware you could install this on would be best.
Though, the Ubuntu remixes below are not official flavours yet. I provided links to each Projectās website where folks can download and test the Betaās.
Installing from Ubuntu 21.04 āHirsute Hippoā - Beta amd64 (20210402)
message āchecking diskā¦ā disappeared.
Same with Ubuntu 21.04 āHirsute Hippoā - Beta amd64 (20210411)
I think it was an important feature and it should be restored.
The upgrade process to Hirsute still tries to install sssd packages - the same way as it was with upgrade from Focal to Groovy. To the contrary, it doesnāt try to install e.g. LibreOffice if itās uninstalled.
I really need this commit: ādrm/amd/display: Enable pflip interrupt upon pipe enableā from 5.11.11 to have a stable desktop experience, hope you upgrade soon! Otherwise I canāt wake up the monitors from sleep most of the time. https://lwn.net/Articles/851166/
Crash accessing Home of another user:
On my PC I have some different users. If from one user I try to access the Home directory of a different user I enter the password and then I have a crash.
I think that Paolo Bacchilega is going to spin a new file-roller quickfix release in a few hours.
This release would wire up the new (and now free) libarchive support for RAR files to File-roller. It would be nice to be able to use that new libarchive feature in file-roller, the proper libs (libarchive and gnome-autoar) are already shipped in Hirsute.
Not much code has changed, it is rather a thing of stopping marking RARs as unsupported. And RAR files are pretty ubiquitous in the net. It would be nice to have support for it shipped OOTB.
Maybe a small distropatch would be easier to sneak in at this point.
