Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 1 download

Today Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 1 is ready for download on all flavors of Ubuntu, that includes Lubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome, and Xubuntu. 

 

This is the first major milestone for many flavors as Alpha wasn’t available to many of them, while this version is far from complete, it gives you a clear idea on how will Ubuntu 16.04 will look and behave.

Now every flavor has it’s changes and improvements, but since I’m with Ubuntu Gnome now, here is a list of update and known bugs (Source):

Software Updates

  • GNOME Shell 3.18
  • Most of GNOME 3.18
  • GNOME Software has replaced Ubuntu Software Center
  • GNOME Calendar and GNOME Logs are installed by default
  • GNOME Builder (IDE) is now available in the archives
  • gnome-control-center sharing panel has been fixed
  • Experimental wayland session is now available. Install gnome-session-wayland and then select “GNOME on wayland” from login screen (Only works with OSS GPU drivers).

Known Problems

  • The prompt asking for media removal is not shown at the end of the installation (966480)
  • Shutdown/Restart of live session guest does not work in Virtualbox, and VMWare (1447038)
  • No auto login in Ubuntu GNOME Xenial (1547297)
  • Ubuntu installer says: The creation of swap space in partition failed (990744)
  • Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1 (1548864)
  • It only shows installed apps, not available ones (1548933)

    The beta version isn’t ready for everyday use, but if you can and have a decent Internet connection, downloaded and give it a try even on a VM.
    I seriously can’t wait for Ubuntu 16.04. It’s going to be awesome!!

    Are you excited as I am? Let me know what you think in the comments section below?

50,000 views!!! Thank you all!

Yes, I’ve made it! 
I didn’t plan this far ahead, I didn’t even prepare a speech! *Whips out a speech!!

It’s been a terrific journey, reaching to this point was a dream when I started blogging 4 years ago, now that I’m here. I’m thinking of the next summit to climb.

 

I’m my 50,000 reader!!

You will notice a new “minimalistic” theme, how do you like it?

Thanks for being a regular reader and supporter, and I will see you in a new milestone soon enough!

Random question, has anyone missed the Game of the week column? 

Update: I’m putting podcasts on hold for now, too much effort with zero reward!

My blog reached 45K views!

It’s been a while since I posted one of these posts, so I decided to leave them for the special occasions, this happens to be one of them!

I have reached 45 Thousand views on my blog, which is a really good place to be, and a good progress since the last milestone of 40K. Meaning I got 5 thousand views in less than two months, not bad at all!

I have been busy working on myself and keeping myself busy with many projects, it’s a time of change, and I have to be at my best.

I got the chance to experiment with many great applications and ideas I’ll be posting about throughout the winter, many fall within my passion subjects, Linux and open source.

I noticed I grew as a blogger and I am making consistent effort to grow and improve each day, and I hope you can see that in my posts and style of writing.

I still believe that the sky is the limit and I hope to grow even more as a blogger and help more people while learning and having fun doing what I love.

Until the next stop of 50K, have a good day, and keep visiting my blog!
