With this early Alpha pre-release, you can see what we are trying out in preparation for our next version. We have some interesting things happening, so read on for highlights and information. '''NOTE:''' This is an alpha pre-release. Ubuntu GNOME Pre-releases are NOT recommended for: * Regular users who are not aware of pre-release issues * Anyone who needs a stable system * Anyone uncomfortable running a possibly frequently broken system * Anyone in a production environment with data or workflows that need to be reliable Uubuntu GNOME Pre-releases ARE recommended for: * Regular users who want to help us test by finding, reporting, and/or fixing bugs * Ubuntu GNOME developers = Getting Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 Alpha 1 = == Download a Disk Image == * [[http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/saucy/alpha-1/|Bootable images for standard PCs/laptops/netbooks]] Instructions for burning the image to a DVD or USB flash drive can be found on the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto|Burning ISO Howto]]. We recommend you learn how to [[https://wiki.ubuntu.org/HowToMD5SUM|check your image file]] so your pre-release is as it’s supposed to be. Compare your MD5 checksum with the correct ones found [[http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/saucy/alpha-1/MD5SUMS|alongside the images]]. = Alpha 1 Highlights = == Software Updates == * Most of GNOME 3.8 is now included. See the [[https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/ | GNOME release notes]] for more details. * The new GNOME Classic session is included. To try it, choose it from the Sessions option on the login screen. * Ubuntu Online Accounts is no longer included by default (Bug:1040193). If you'd like to install it, install gnome-control-center-signon, evolution-data-server-uoa, and whichever of the account-plugin-* packages you want to use. == Infrastructure == === Linux Kernel === The Alpha 1 Saucy Salamander snapshot includes the [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.9.0-7.15|3.9.0.7 Ubuntu Linux kernel]] which is based on the the upstream [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.9.7.tar.bz2|v3.9.7 Linux kernel]]. The 3.9 release contains improvements in power efficiency, as well as support for KVM Virtualization on ARM, additional highlights are described [[https://www.linux.com/news/software/linux-kernel/716624-6-key-new-features-in-linux-39|here]]. = Known Problems = == Ubuntu GNOME Desktop == * If GNOME Shell is used with lightdm, the lock screen won't show the characters entered into the password dialog. You can still type your password in and hit enter to unlock. We recommend you use gdm (which is the default in Ubuntu GNOME) (Bug:1181632). * The Accounts menu item in Empathy opens the Ubuntu Online Accounts dialog instead of the Empathy Accounts dialog. As a workaround, run ''empathy-accounts'' manually. ([[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/701903|BGO:701903]]) * The installer freezes if you select the Install Alongside option (Bug:1164592). * The Firefox homepage isn't fully functional (Bug:1195367). === Fix Committed === * Power menu is missing in GNOME Shell. (Bug:1195093) * Hibernate button in user menu won't work since hibernate is disabled by default in Ubuntu (Bug:1191181) * The installer doesn't show an app icon when running (Bug:1164573) * GNOME Online Accounts doesn't handle Google Two-Factor Authentication properly. As a workaround, add the Google account. Open ''Password and Keys'' and type '''Google''' in the Filter box. Double-click on the GOA google key. In the Password field, click ''Show Password'' and replace only the password part with your application-specific password([[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/688364|BGO:688364]]). <<Include(SaucySalamander/Alpha1/CommonInfrastructure, , from="^##StartSaucyReleaseBugs", to="##EndSaucyReleaseBugs")>> = Feedback = Development of Ubuntu Gnome 13.10, the Saucy Salamander is ongoing and bugs are fixed every day.
