KDE Neon Now Based on Ubuntu 18.04 ‘Bionic Beaver’

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

Can’t resize GTK 3 windows by clicking in the border KDE KUbuntu KDE Neon

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.

vmware-view:// error open client from browser on linux (Ubuntu 18.04) Workspace ONE

 

To add protocol handler vmware-view:// you need to add file vmware-view.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications.

 

It looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=VMware Horizon Client
Exec=/vmware-view %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vmware-view;

Exec and MimeType are very important.

Then you need to add line

x-scheme-handler/vmware-view=vmware-view.desktop

to file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list under [Default Applications]

At the end you will probably need to type command:

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

For me it was working on all browsers.

 

Mounting Bitlocker Volumes Under Linux

 

 

Driver Installation

The software, which makes this possible, is called Dislocker. It is an opensource driver project maintained on Github by Aorimn. To obtain the source code:

git clone https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker.git

Or Ubuntu PPA’s
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dislocker
https://launchpad.net/~hermlnx/+archive/ubuntu/dislocker

Before you can build the driver it is necessary to install some dependencies, including the fuse and polarssl headers:

sudo apt-get install gcc cmake make libfuse-dev libpolarssl-dev ruby-dev

Assuming that these are installed correctly you can then build the project and install the driver as follows:

cd dislocker cmake 

make sudo make install

According to Aorimn the current version of the Dislocker driver supports all versions of Bitlocker associated with Windows versions 7, 8, and Windows 10

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Versie 18.04 van Ubuntu Linux is uitgekomen, een versie met extra lange ondersteuning. Tweemaal per jaar verschijnt er een nieuwe versie en vormen het jaar en de maand van uitgave het versienummer. Eens in de twee jaar komt er een versie uit die niet negen maanden maar vijf jaar voorzien zal worden van updates. Versie 18.04 heeft codenaam Bionic Beaver meegekregen en draait op Linux Kernel 4.15. Afgezien van bijgewerkte programma’s is er ten opzichte van versie 17.10 niet zoveel veranderd. Wel heeft X.Org weer de voorkeur gekregen boven Wayland. De complete release notes zijn op deze pagina in te zien, dit is een kort stuk daaruit:

Updated Packages

Linux kernel 4.15
Ubuntu 18.04 ships with a v4.15 based Linux kernel, enabling the latest hardware and peripherals available from IBM, Intel, and others. The 18.04 kernel delivers new features inherited from upstream, including:

  • CPU controller for the cgroup v2 interface
  • AMD secure memory encryption support
  • The latest MD driver with software RAID enhancements
  • Improved power management for systems with SATA Link Power Management

We also see notable Ubuntu specific achievements with:

  • Linux security module stacking support
  • Support for signing of POWER host and NV kernels
  • Backport improved support for IBM and Intel hardware from Linux 4.16

OpenJDK
As of 18.04 release, OpenJDK 10 is the default JRE/JDK. Once OpenJDK 11 reaches GA in September 2018, it will become the default in 18.04.
