KDE Neon Now Based on Ubuntu 18.04 ‘Bionic Beaver’

Geplaatst op door

The wait is over: the KDE Ubuntu 18.04 release is finally here.

Developers behind the KDE-centric Linux distro¹ have announced that they’ve successfully rebased KDE Neon on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ‘Bionic Beaver’, which was released earlier this year.

With the bump to Bionic KDE Neon users unlock access to newer packages, third-party tools, and hardware drivers. They also benefit from a more recent Linux kernel.

KDE Neon 18.04 Upgrade Prompt

Naturally the latest stable KDE Plasma desktop and associated apps are installed by default, with future stable releases pushed out to users as and when they’re available.

This LTS to LTS migration has been in the works since the Ubuntu 18.04 release back in April, and has been undergoing wider testing for several months.

Swapping out the foundation of a distro isn’t an overnight task, and is made harder by the mix of LTS and non-LTS software stacks involved.

But with some hardwork and elbow grease neon devs have pulled it off.

They now plan to put “more developer effort” into using Snap packages, which offer the potential for more frequent third-party app updates than otherwise provided to an LTS release. Lees verder →

VMware Horizon 7 version 7.6

What’s New in This Release

 

 

VMware Horizon 7 version 7.6 provides the following new features and enhancements. This information is grouped by installable component.

For information about the issues that are resolved in this release, see Resolved Issues.

Horizon Connection Server

  • Horizon Console
    • A user can login to Horizon Console with any predefined role or a combination of predefined roles.
  • Horizon 7 Subscription Licenses
    • You can use VMware Horizon 7 Cloud Connector to manage subscription licenses to a Horizon Cloud node hosted on the VMware Horizon Cloud Service. A subscription license removes the need to keep, retrieve, or manually enter a license key for product activation.
  • Cloud Pod Architecture
    • With Horizon Client 4.9, if a Windows client device has an RDS per-device CAL, it always presents that license. Windows clients that have earlier Horizon Client versions present a license only if they have a license for the specific pod. For the best handling of RDS licensing in a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, VMware recommends upgrading to the latest client and server software.
  • Horizon Administrator
    • You can no longer configure RDS Per-Device CAL storage options in Horizon Administrator. RDS Per-Device CALs are now stored only on the client device by default.
    • Horizon Clients using IPv4 and Horizon Clients using IPv6 can be handled concurrently on TCP port 8443 and on UDP port 8443
      (for BEAT) when connecting to a Unified Access Gateway appliance version 3.3 or later.
  • vSphere Support

What’s New

User Environment Manager 9.5.0 provides bug fixes described in the Resolved Issues section of the release notes, and the following enhancements:

  • Configuration templates. These templates are pre-configured Flex configuration files that are available for many popular applications. A Configuration template simplifies the initial setup of an application and helps persist the most common user settings for that application.
  • Improved support for Windows 10. Updates to the Windows Common Settings DPI settings and Windows Explorer and view settings provide improved Windows 10 support.

I think that the problem is in the file /usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-3.20/gtk3.css and gtk-dark.css, or the theme you use.
