Today’s ISO swelled to 9.9GB!!!
Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) Daily Build 2025-06-07 15:43 9.9G
Is this a temporary problem or will it remain?
those of 5 and 6 Jun were also 9.9GB

The good news is that the “pending” 9.9GB images didn’t pass QA so are not considered “current”. The current image is still 2025-06-03 and 6.1GB.

The bad news is that after a week the ISOs are still gigantic.
Hi @jibel ,
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I do know of authd and are following it with interest.
May we expect it to be included during the Ubuntu installation, much like the checkbox for Use Active Directory is present, during install of Jammy and later today?
Yes, that’s the plan. We do not have a design yet, but it’ll be similar to Active Directory.

Hey @QwertyChouskie,
I just uploaded a Snap Package for Edit. It is indeed a very cool little text editor. Brings me back to my QBASIC days 
Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you!

Let’s not pollute this topic too much with this. On the first part, the dailies are going over some transitions, so, for the moment, do not rely on the recovery key that is returned yet. You have some placeholders and mocks to exercise the new UI and changes that will be part of questing. I plan to blog about this in a couple of weeks.
On the second one (nvidia support), this is supposed to already work on the daily image. Let’s move that discussion on Bug #2113922 “Nvidia driver with optimus not installed with TPM/...” : Bugs : subiquity that I opened for you, shall we?
Thanks a lot!

Will there be an option to use autoinstall.yaml link with password or certificate-based authentication?
Currently, we are using this option to preinstall some software like MS Edge and Google Chrome,
However, if we want to provide our company’s sensitive information in that configuration file, we need to have authentication support.
The questing daily ISO is back at 6GB today (we reverted the livecd-rootfs change that created the issue)

I needed to decrypt my SSD in order to install Ubuntu for dual boot with Win11. Will there be a way for people like me to re-encrypt the drive while also having it encrypted in Windows?
It just gonna be amazing like it before. We can proudly say that the cutting-edge is reaching to everyone.
maybe in autoinstall should be comma separated list of snaps, packages and repos to add. Maybe via some iso to usb install image extension to make some autoinstall more enterprise ready and not admin ready…
I installed a persistent usb with Q Quokka and it is as smooth as silk even with snaps. The only issue I have is with Kaffeine, it crashes after a channel scan when storing tv channels and dumps me back into the desktop.
Apart from that good job guys.
I tried the latest daily images of 25.10, and a miracle happened: I got HW FDE working on five different test devices, and I even saw the recovery key backup page before rebooting.
But here’s a situation that every user will face.
I was asked to update the UEFI firmware, and after that, I had to enter the recovery key.
And here’s the problem:
Instead of seeing a beautiful Plymouth page, I see a console where I have to enter the recovery key incomprehensibly.
There are two problems: I don’t know whether I have to manually enter “-” or if this symbol is optional, and I can’t check whether I entered the correct values.
I know how much the Linux community hates comparisons with Windows and BitLocker, but in this case, we are talking about user comfort.
It would be nice to be able to use Plymouth for this dialog, where the entered characters would be shown and “-” would be automatically substituted.

To anyone implementing that, please see:
plymouth ask-for-password
but before you can use Plymouth for it you need to make sure nothing is writing to /dev/console because doing so will prevent Plymouth from entering graphics mode.
Also this thread probably needs moving elsewhere.

Thanks for the feedback!
Having a better UI on reboot is definitively something that we have on our roadmap for 26.04, and we won’t remove the TPM FDE “experimental” stamp before this being implemented.

was testing TPM based FDE for 25.10 daily and seemed to run into this even after clearing TPM.
Not an issue on 24.04.2 LTS or 25.04
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ABR8
I encountered this problem on all HP EliteBook and ProBook models.
To solve this problem, it is not enough to clear the TPM; you need to initiate a reset of all security settings, which in turn triggers the TPM clearing (I want to note that when BIOS/UEFI reset to factory settings, security settings are not reset).
I also want to note that on corporate models from DELL, it is enough to clear the TPM.
I hope that in the future, the Ubuntu installer will learn to deal with this problem automatically or will have a security reset button, allowing the user to decide for themselves. This approach will help to bypass the problems of investigating the laptop BIOS/UEFI security settings from the user’s side.
I have only had this issue on 25.10 latest daily build
Is there a chance that GUFW will be pre-installed in Ubuntu 25.10 or 26.04, or perhaps the Firewall GUI management functionality will be taken over by Desktop Security Center?
