Canonical has stopped distributing the installation iso image of Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.5 LTS for the x86-64 architecture (ubuntu-24.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso) due to the discovery of a bug that leads to the installer crashing. The problem occurs when selecting the advanced installation mode in the installer interface and arises in the livecd-rootfs package due to the invocation of a previously removed handler "enhanced-secure-boot" which implements support for full disk encryption based on TPM. The server live build and image for […]

Release of GNU Automake 1.19, a tool for generating build files

Posted on

The Automake 1.19 release has been published, a utility for the automatic generation of makefiles that comply with GNU project coding standards. The new version includes not only bug fixes but also the addition of the autoconf macro AM_OPTIONAL_AUTOMAKE, which makes the processing of the specified 'dist-XXX' options optional when running the 'make dist' command. In practice, the new macro allows skipping the creation of archives without an error message if the necessary compression utilities are missing from the system. For example, the operation […]

A new system manager rcd is being developed for FreeBSD.

Posted on

Baptiste Daroussin, a member of the FreeBSD Core Team and author of the pkg package manager, is developing a new system manager for FreeBSD — rcd. The rcd system manager is invoked by the init process instead of /etc/rc, reads configuration files for services (/etc/rcd.d/*.ucl), builds a dependency tree, and starts services as much as possible in parallel with each other, after which it monitors the operation of services and restarts them if necessary.
