The Edubuntu Council (Amy and Erich Eickmeyer) is pleased to announce
Edubuntu 23.10 Beta, codenamed “Mantic Minotaur”. While it is free of
any showstopper installer bugs and is representative of what will be the
final release, bugs may be found within.
Images may be downloaded
fromhttps://cdimages.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/23.10/beta.
For those looking for Raspberry Pi images, while they are planned, they
will be unavailable for this release. Goals are to have them available
for 24.04 LTS, subject to change.
*Where’s the website?*
Our website is currently a placeholder website available
athttps://edubuntu.orgcourtesy ofAaron Prisk, and we are still working
with Canonical IS to establish a more permanent website where we can
make these posts and more, including administration instructions and
other documentation. We do apologize that it is taking so long.
*New Features*
* *Edubuntu Menu Administratior*can now hide snaps (was supposed to
work previously, but a bug prevented that).
* KDE/Qt apps now respect dark/light settings of the desktop. However,
they still only use a blue accent color. Theongoing discussions
<https://invent.kde.org/teams/vdg/issues/-/issues/26>on how to solve
this previously mentioned in theEdubuntu 23.04 Beta Known Issues
<https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/edubuntu-23-04-beta-released/34861>have
ground to a halt.
New apps included are:
* *Startup Disk Creator*: This will help users and administrators make
an easy USB drive from a .iso image of any Ubuntu flavor.
* *GNOME Videos*: Video player
* *GNOME Music*: Music player
* *Backup*: Backup utility
* *Basic256*: Teaches students the BASIC programming language
(Erichfirst learned to program in this language when he was 10 on a
Commodore VIC-20!)
* *Extension Manager*: An easy way to add and administer GNOME Shell
extensions.
* *OpenBoard*: A whiteboard application for teachers
* *Mnemosyne*: A flashcard application
* *Convertall*: A powerful unit converter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Known Issues*
* KDE/Qt apps use a blue accent color as opposed to a red accent color
or whatever accent color is set by the user in the System Settings.
There is no known fix currently, however future releases may have
other configurations which allow this. There areongoing
discussions<https://invent.kde.org/teams/vdg/issues/-/issues/26>that
seem to have come to a halt.
* The system installer (Ubiquity) provides a minimal install option
that is currently work-in-progress.
* GNOME Notes has a search provider for the Activities Overview which
willsometimes crash <https://launchpad.net/bugs/2012985>.
* GNOME Shelldoes not currently respect the default accent color
<https://launchpad.net/bugs/2033688>or any chosen accent color
except orange and blue.
* As Edubuntu shares a desktop with and is based on Ubuntu Desktop,
any known issues can be found in the officialUbuntu Release
Notes<https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/mantic-minotaur-release-notes/>.
* Individual applications included with Edubuntu may have their own
known issues. Please consult upstream release notes for those
applications before filing bug reports.
