Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Alpha 5
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2009-09-14 14:08"Hello Ubuntu developers,
Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 5, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10.
Pre-releases of Karmic are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
Alpha 5 is the fifth in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Karmic development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Karmic. You can download it here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/... (Ubuntu)
http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karm... (Ubuntu Server for UEC and EC2)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/k... (Ubuntu ARM)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases... (Kubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases... (Xubuntu)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releas... (Mythbuntu)
See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors.
Alpha 5 includes a number of software updates that are ready for large-scale testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please see:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha5
If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Karmic, have a look at the karmic-changes mailing list:
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/k...
We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events.
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/u...
Bug reports should go to the Ubuntu bug tracker:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Reportin...
Enjoy,

Spri Linux Beta Two Point One
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2009-09-08 19:38Many issues have been addressed from the previous Spri Beta One and Beta Two releases, however some issues may remain. Remember, this is a beta release. If you come across any issues, let us know in the forum and we'll get a fix out ASAP
Changes
There are lots of changes in this release, I'll add the ones I consider most important here;
- The Wallpaper manager has been changed to PCManFM, and as a result, there are now icons on the desktop by default.
- A shutdown icon has been added to the Spri Desktop. The menu logout buttons will be addressed in a later release.
- GNOME-Mplayer has replaced gXine as the default videoplayer. I'd appreciate any feedback about this change on this forum thread.
- Thanks to a suggestion by OU812 on the forum, the volume wheel applet has been replaced and should now be fully functional. Please submit a bug if this isn't the case for you.
- The Spri and Medibuntu repositories have been added to the repositories list complete with working apt-key, and the spri-desktop package has been added. You should get all updates throught apt using apt-get upgrade.
- In line with this, upgrade manager has also been added, and is available from the Spri menu.
- Wicd has replaced network-manager as the network management application. This is a direct result of a bug that I could not fix detailed here. If you have any issues with Wicd, please post on the forum and/or file a bug. If you wish to remina using network manager + nm-applet, the old Spri Beta 2 is still available in the downloads section under "old release".
I think that is about it. Again, feedback is always appreciated via the forum

Xen Live CD v2.0
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2009-09-02 14:43"The Xen Live CD brings together several features and attempts to show many different situations, as far as possible, in a clear and functional way. For example, different architectures of the Hypervisor, pre-configured virtual machines with different kernel of dom0, virtual framebuffer enabled for virtual work stations, extra examples with SDL console enabled, demonstration of conversion between machines HVM / PVM, several methods of how to make a virtual hard disk, among many other examples of what can be done with Xen.
The Xen Live CD is actually a Debian Lenny 5.0. Anyone can create their own version of Xen Live CD, since there is available a ISO generator based on the live-helper. [...]
Some features
* The version i386 of the Xen Live CD has a Xen Hypervisor for 64-bits CPUs as an option in GRUB's menu. You can use without any problem, a 32-bits dom0/domU on top of a 64-bits hypervisor.
* The Xorg open source X Window System.
* Basic Gnome Desktop.
* Five tools ready to use for the management of the system, they are: the command `xm' of the Xen, the libvirt, the program virt-manager, the tool xen-tools and program Convirt.
* Two read-only root file systems that are used by four virtual machines, two servers and two work stations. The servers (server01 and server02) make use of the file "ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.squashfs" and the work stations (client01 and client02) make use of the file "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.squashfs", both located in the CD-ROM of the Xen Live CD.
* Pre-configured file of a virtual machine to start Windows installation.
* Example of how to convert Linux virtual machines from HVM to PVM. With the new paravirt_ops, this can be done smoothly.
* Also there is a pre-configured file of a virtual machine to start Debian Installer within a Paravirtual domU.
* Three different methods to create the virtual hard disks of their virtual machines, sparse files, discs in LVM and partitions in LVM.
* To explore the possibilities, the tools vblade and aoetools was added to work with the AoE protocol, the Redhat Cluster Suite to make the LVM cluster aware, the virtual switch VDE2 with its web interface VDEtelweb and vconfig to deal with VLANs."

Woof
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2009-08-09 14:18"Woof is a "magical script" that can download packages of some other GNU/Linux distribution, cut them right down to Puppy-size, then build a Puppy Linux live-CD/DVD -- and do all of this totally automatically. The design of Woof is intended to be so flexible that packages from any distro can be processed.
At the time of writing Woof is supporting Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware and Arch. Puppy can be built from whatever is the current one. Whenever there is a new release, all that Woof needs is the name of the release and Woof will then download all the packages and build a new Puppy Linux."

Build an Ultralight OS with GUI on Debian-Live
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-07-23 18:47If you are running Debian, install debian-live:
apt-get install debian-live
(you must be root (superuser) to install debian-live)
Then type:
lh_config --packages "xserver-xorg-video-vesa xterm xfonts-base xinit jwm"
(the basics and gives you the jwm window manager)
Then type:
lh_build
Then wait for the .iso image to be built.
Use qemu to boot it if you have it installed:
qemu -cdrom binary.iso
If you want other programs included in your operating system, put them in the list along with jwm, xterm, ...
So if you wanted iceweasel (firefox), gftp, xpdf, gxine, leafpad on your os, you would type:
lh_config --packages "xserver-xorg-video-vesa xterm xfonts-base xinit jwm iceweasel gftp xpdf gxine leafpad"
If this doesnt work for you, reply with why.
