Sorry I’m not very diligent in the dailey .iso’s
I have flat been wrapped up in my new Ubuntu Studio.
Honestly could drop XFCE and not miss it.
Wayland has seen significant improvements, with many users reporting a more responsive and smoother experience compared to X11.
As of KDE Plasma 5.27 and :6.3.5, the Wayland implementation is nearly perfect for myself.
Kudo’s to the KDE teams!!
Now we just need to add ZFS-root option at the installer…
consumer report on Questing ISO 5/25. Extended “FULL” install = SUCCESS.
Thanks so much. But you who are so good and patient and try every day then report your successes on Testing tracker | Ubuntu QA ? I think they would be useful to everyone.
@corradoventu , Thanks for your interest. I have a Launchpad Login but find it too complicated to navigate. I’m more comfortable here!
I’m not talking about launchpad but about recording the result of your installations on the site Testing tracker | Ubuntu QA. Try to access it.
@zebra3 the QA Tracker is not the same as Launchpad.
Please take a look, it is actually really quite easy to use once you give it a go.
As @corradoventu mentioned, your contributions would be very much appreciated.
I know the qatracker is not the same as launchpad. But I am using my launchpad login to access the tracker. Problem is what to do once in the tracker. I have determined by testing the current ISO that it is working properly and no longer has the “curtin install” crash. But can’t find a path to report it in the tracker.

consumer report on Questing ISO 5/26. Extended “full” install = success, default install = success.
et al:
Had some problems with my Lu plucky install this morning where after 90 some upgrades yesterday firefox was no where to be found? Couldn’t launch it, but couldn’t install it either, because it was installed. And then the desktop “froze” but mouse was moving. Went to the forums but saw it has moved to Discourse, then found this thread . . . and decided to upgrade from plucky via my usual edit the sources.list data.
Showed 773 some packages to upgrade, a little while later rebooted back into 25.10 . . . more or less looks thhe same, except for a minor issue of desktop icons not showing, there are just the words for “Computer,” “Network” “user name” and “Trash” . . . and the words “Show Desktop” in the toolbar, rather than what I think was an icon or applet??
I just ran dist-upgrade to bring in one more package “canberraxxxx” don’t know wat that relates to.
But, the Questing has begun on my '12 Mac Pro . . . seems similar to Plucky so far.
Greetings, and yes Questing is made out of Plucky. Right now probably about 85% Plucky. I see it as two different systems in development. One is Ubuntu OS and the second is the Ubuntu/Gnome Desktop. If you compare the Gnome Project Settings Manager which is now V48 with what we have in October, that would be mostly changes in Desktop. Ubuntu would be all of the dependencies that allow the apps to run in a safe environment. Canberra is a dependency for some of those apps.
Regarding your upgrade to Questing it makes sense to have a backup system to get yourself out of trouble if Questing has a major setback. It happens! This is a standard when running a development version. Development means process not completed. FYI
Thanks for the reply. I think when I upgraded to Plucky within a week of its being available, there were perhaps 50 package upgrades, so looks like I am a couple weeks “behind” on making the switch . . . 773 packages is a fair number of differences.
And thanks for the thought on “back up” . . . I run multi-boot with a number of rolling and dev distros . . . if one of them blows up, it just takes a few minutes to reinstall the / filesystem . . . . For the most part in doing this for many years, hiccups do happen, but entire filesystems blowing up has been rare in the last decade or so. “Stuff” has happened requiring attention and sometimes painstaking fixes, but nothing more than keeping the / and the /home directories in separate partitions.
I will be watching to see if and when the desktop icons reappear, or not.
@este-el-paz :
What you have sounds rock solid to me. Very much the same as what I have. I’ve been running the dev version for every interation since 9.10 Karmic. Lots of horror stories on that trip. But I can recover a crash in 25 minutes flat. Regarding the desktop icons, I think the “dock” is here to stay. Desktop icons are just too Windows-ish. Of course if it’s just an option I have no problem with that.
PS: Welcome to the Questing development thread.
Flatpak Bug filed today: Bug #2111926 “unable to open file '/etc/dconf/db/site” : Bugs : flatpak package : Ubuntu
No input needed just add yourself if affected! Thanks.
You should watch journalctl while the issue happens, to see if there is an apparmor denial for the path (it surely smells like this and proof would likely speed up a fix (would just need an additional line in the apparmor profile for flatpak))
