The announced reads as follows: We are pleased to bring you the first set of developer images that capture the current fleeting reality of our Precise Pangolin (Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1) as it starts to emerge. Pre-releases of Precise Pangolin 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 as we work towards getting this LTS release ready. Alpha 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Precise 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 Precise. You can download them here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu Desktop, Server, ARM) Additional images are also available at: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu Server Cloud and EC2) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/alpha-1/ (Xubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/precise/alpha-1/ (Edubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/precise/alpha-1/ (Lubuntu) For more information on this Precise Pangolin Alpha 1 release please see the announcement in full. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2011-December/000538.html === Ubuntu 12.04 Development update === Daniel Holbach, keeps readers informed with this latest installment of the Ubuntu 12.04 development updates.

Spencer writes, "They still have more smoke tests to set up, but everything is running automatically from daily builds. You can check to see if the latest build installs and if basic tests run. If they do, it's probably worth testing with that build. If it's not, then the team should be busy at work at making it work testing!" He also gives a link to the blueprint for the smoke tests results page. http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/11/smoke-tests.html === Michael Hall: Reports of Ubuntu's death are greatly exaggerated === Michael Hall questions whether or not Distrowatch's data "is a measure of the "popularity" of any given distro, as so many news stories are claiming it is." Find out more about what Hall has to say on this subject at the link below. http://mhall119.com/2011/11/reports-of-ubuntus-death-are-greatly-exaggerated/ === David Planella: Building the Ubuntu App Development community (I): communication channels === "One of the main objectives for the Ubuntu 12.04 cycle is to build upon the foundations set by the Ubuntu App Developer site, My Apps and the Ubuntu Software Centre and start building an Ubuntu App Developer community to realize the vision of a rich ecosystem of apps around Ubuntu," writes David Planella. With this post, Planella launches the first of a series that will discuss growing the Ubuntu App Developer Community as he shows readers how to get involved, and the benefits of Ubuntu as a target platform for both developers and users. http://davidplanella.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/building-the-ubuntu-app-development-community-i-communication-channels/ === Charles Proffit: Ubuntu User: I have a problem... === Charles Proffit seeks to improve the community involvement with bugs and hopes to continue the conversation he started at UDS-P.

Improvements include: * The archive consistency reports like component-mismatches, uninstallability, etc. now appear about 20 minutes earlier than in oneiric. * CD image builds can now happen 30 minutes earlier after the publisher start, and are much quicker now due to moving to newer machines. We can now build an i386 or amd64 CD image in 8 minutes! Currently they still need to wait for the slow powerpc buildd, but moving to a faster machine there is in progress. These improvements lead to much faster image rebuild turnarounds. * Candidate CDs now get automatically posted to the new ISO tracker as soon as they appear. * Whenever a new Ubuntu image is built (daily or candidate), they automatically get smoke-tested, so we know that the installer works under some standard scenarios and produces an install which actually boots. * Due to the new discipline and the stable+1 team, we had working daily ISOs pretty much every day. In previous Alphas, the release engineer(s) pretty much had to work fulltime for a day or two to fix the worst uninstallability etc., all of this now went away. Pitt also take time to thank the Canonical QA team and others for all their work to date. http://www.piware.de/2011/12/precises-qa-improvements-for-alpha-1/ == In The Press == === Ubuntu penguins build Linux TV challenge === Gavin Clarke, The Register, writes, "Open-sourcers are taking Ubuntu Linux in the direction of Google TV and Microsoft's Xbox 360."

Larabel writes, " When it comes to these benchmarks, what's worth noting is that Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10 are both on GCC 4.6.x and the EXT4 file-system. Some of the important differences though is that Fedora 16 is on the Linux 3.1 kernel while Ubuntu 11.10 is on Linux 3.0 and Fedora 16 has a more recent (both user and kernel-space) graphics stack. There's also various other differences from the Linux operating systems from Canonical and Red Hat." http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora16_ubu1110_perf&num=1 === Work Is Underway on Ubuntu TV, with Mark Shuttleworth Watching === Sam Dean, Ostatic, asks his readers, "If Google and Apple can boost the concept of revolutionizing television, then why can't the Ubuntu community do so as well?" In this post Dean gives links to both Mark Shuttleworth's blog and Alan Bell's proposed designs. Dean concludes this post with a prediction that readers will see an Ubuntu-based TV platform arrive next year. http://ostatic.com/blog/work-is-underway-on-ubuntu-tv-with-mark-shuttleworth-watching === A few useful tweaks for Ubuntu === This article looks at tweaks for your Ubuntu desktop.

Ubuntu! readers know that the popular One Hundred Paper Cuts project is back. In this article, Akhtar and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut describe a the paper cut project as: Put briefly, a paper cut is a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would encounter in a default application of Ubuntu or Kubuntu OR in any of the featured applications. If you prefer a more detailed, itemized definition, a paper cut is: * A bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of software, * the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to use, * that is easy to fix, * that the average user would encounter, * in a default application of the Ubuntu or Kubuntu release currently under development OR in any of the featured applications.

According to the team's blog post the reason given for this move is for a more efficient method to keep guides up to date and accurate. "The single forum post with all the guides is difficult to keep up to date and requires manual intervention from the Mythbuntu forum moderators (Mythbuntu developers). There isn't an automated way to take care of this. Moving to AskUbuntu.com for this enables us to have an auto-generated list of Mythbuntu/MythTV related guides." http://www.mythbuntu.org/node/356 === Lubuntu 11.10 review: Lightweight Linux === Rohan Pearce, Techworld Australia, writes, "For some people, this may be the best Ubuntu derivative yet. For others, it's going to be pretty snore-worthy." Pearce reviews Lubuntu--lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE-- in this post and even comments, "... there is strong, vibrant community surrounding the Ubuntu derivatives" "Lubuntu gets a lot of things right, especially given it's a relatively new addition to the Ubuntu family. It's just really hard to get excited about it and it's a distro I'd be unlikely to use personally," concludes Pearce. For the full review see the link below. http://www.techworld.com.au/article/408847/lubuntu_11_10_review_lightweight_linux === The End of the Distro Wars === Brian Profitt, IT World, starts this article by saying, "Don't use DistroWatch as a measuring stick in any way for the popularity of a Linux distribution." And even follows with a, "Seriously, stop it." Profitt says, "Arguing about "popular" distributions is pointless." Want to know Profitt's reasons then check out the link below. http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/228757/end-distro-wars == Weekly Ubuntu Development Team Meetings == * Ubuntu Kernel Team - November 29, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Meeting#Tues.2C_29_November_2011 * Ubuntu QA Team - November 30, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings/QA/20111130 * Ubuntu Server Team - November 29, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20111129 * Ubuntu ARM Team - December 1, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Meeting/2011/20111201 * Ubuntu Desktop Team - November 29, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2011-11-29 == Weekly Official Ubuntu Derivative Distributions Team Meetings == * Lubuntu Team - November 30, 2011 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Meetings/20111130 == Other Articles of Interest == * Best Time-Tracking Applications For Linux - http://techlaze.com/2011/11/best-time-tracking-applications-for-linux/ * The Advantages of Using Linux - http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/158882/index.html == Upcoming Meetings and Events == For upcoming meetings and events please visit the calendars at fridge.ubuntu.com: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/ == Updates and Security for 8.04, 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 == === Security Updates === * USN-1282-1: Thunderbird vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1282-1 * USN-1283-1: APT vulnerability - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1283-1 * USN-1284-1: Update Manager vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1284-1 * USN-1285-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1285-1 * USN-1286-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-1286-1 === Ubuntu 8.04 Updates === * apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.4 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/2011-November/012701.html * update-manager 1:0.87.31.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/2011-November/012702.html * python-apt 0.7.4ubuntu7.7 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/2011-November/012703.html === Ubuntu 10.04 Updates === * apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.9 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2011-November/012559.html * update-notifier 0.99.3ubuntu0.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2011-November/012560.html * update-manager 1:0.134.11.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2011-November/012561.html * phpldapadmin 1.2.0.5-1ubuntu1.10.04.2 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2011-November/012562.html === Ubuntu 10.10 Updates === * software-center 3.0.11 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2011-November/009680.html * apt 0.8.3ubuntu7.3 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2011-November/009681.html * update-notifier 0.105ubuntu1.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2011-November/009682.html * update-manager 1:0.142.23.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2011-November/009683.html * phpldapadmin 1.2.0.5-1.1ubuntu1.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2011-November/009684.html === Ubuntu 11.04 Updates === * software-center 4.0.6 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2011-November/012302.html * apt 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.3 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2011-November/012303.html * update-notifier 0.111ubuntu2.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2011-November/012304.html * update-manager 1:0.150.5.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2011-November/012305.html * phpldapadmin 1.2.0.5-2ubuntu1.11.04.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2011-November/012306.html === Ubuntu 11.10 Updates === * fglrx-installer-updates 2:8.911-0ubuntu0.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2011-November/011453.html * evolution-data-server 3.2.2-0ubuntu1~oneiric - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2011-November/011454.html * update-manager 1:0.152.25.5 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2011-November/011455.html * mcollective 1.2.1-0ubuntu2.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2011-November/011456.html * phpldapadmin 1.2.0.5-2ubuntu1.11.10.1 - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/oneiric-changes/2011-November/011457.html == UWN Translations == * Note to translators and our readers please follow the link below for the information you need. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Translations == Subscribe == Get your copy of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter delivered each week to you via email at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news == Archives == You can always find older Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter issues at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter == Additional Ubuntu News == As always you can find more news and announcements at: http://www.ubuntu.com/news and http://fridge.ubuntu.com/ == Conclusion == Thank you for reading the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter.
