Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed “Stonking Stingray”, has now arrived. Building
on the foundations of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, this release continues to
advance security, performance, and hardware support while introducing
new capabilities that look towards the future of Ubuntu. As always, these
improvements are the result of close collaboration between the Ubuntu
team, our community, and our partners. A huge thank you to all who
contributed.

Ubuntu 26.10 brings significant progress for security, and strengthens
the platform with the full adoption of Rust-based coreutils,
post-quantum-ready package signing, and expanded TPM-backed full-disk
encryption support. Enterprise authentication gains deeper integration
with Microsoft Entra ID, including password and multi-factor
authentication. Linux kernel 7.3 extends support for the latest hardware,
alongside new RISC-V desktop images and optimized amd64v3 installation
images.

On the desktop, GNOME 51 brings improvements to responsiveness,
accessibility, and usability, complemented by more consistent software
management and greater resilience under memory pressure. Ubuntu 26.10 also
introduces Myna, an opt-in, locally processed speech-to-text solution that
marks the first step towards a more natural, context-aware desktop
experience. With updated developer toolchains and expanded support for
accelerated AI workloads, Ubuntu 26.10 continues to evolve Ubuntu as a
secure, capable, and forward-looking open source platform.

While we are assessing your application to the Graduate Customer Success Manager, submissions, tests and interviews so far, I’d like to introduce myself and share my vision of Customer Success at Canonical.

As the Director of our post-sales team, my vision is to cater to each customer's unique commercial and technical needs while aligning with Canonical's overarching business goals. The Customer Success team works to keep and grow our most significant asset: our customers, from small businesses to multinationals.

Our three North Star metrics allow us to align with our customers' goals. These include customer satisfaction, retention, and expansion rates. We aspire to make data-driven decisions to improve outcomes.

We emphasise personalised support, proactive account management, and strategic guidance to maximise the value of Canonical Open-Source products.

Customer success is ultimately about building solid and long-lasting relationships with customers. We ensure a CSM is equipped to engage with customers actively, understand their unique pain points, and work collaboratively to drive success. Regular communication is encouraged, with customers and our key Canonical stakeholders. There is nothing more important than customer feedback!

As part of the Account Management team, a CSM must ensure that everyone is working towards the common goal of driving customer success and delivering exceptional value to customers. We collaborate with sales, marketing, product development, and customer support teams on a daily basis.

Customer success is an ongoing journey of learning and improvement. The Customer Success team encourages a culture of innovation, where experimentation, feedback loops, and continuous iteration are embraced. We stay abreast of industry trends, customer needs, and competitor offerings to ensure our strategies remain relevant and impactful.

We have built a solid foundation for a successful Customer Success program, and we would love for you to be the next key player in customer stories!

I appreciate the time and effort you have put in. I will wait a few days for a number of candidates to reach this stage, then make a selection for those to progress to the next round of interviews.

Stephanie, Head of Customer Success

Gear Icons instead of App Icons

7 Upvotes

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS

Currently when I click on Steam, App Store, and Brave, it shows up not at the pinned icon in the dashboard, but as a gray gear icon below my pinned applications. Why is this happening and what's the fix for it?

Ubuntu Dock Regression

6 Upvotes

I installed ubuntu 26.10 despite it being non-LTS. an issue i noticed was Ubuntu Dock (also dash to dock) with multi monitor. I keep my dash at the bottom with autohide enabled. it works just as expected in the primary monitor, but in the secondary monitor the dock behaves weird when i try to see it by moving the mouse to the bottom edge. it shows up but instantly autohides, again when i move the pointer away from the bottom, it similarly unhides for a moment and then autohides. i noticed same issue in gnome 51 in other distros. i myself tried out dash to dock extension in Fedora and CachyOS. so it is mostly an extension compatibility issue. hope when Ubuntu 28 ships with gnome 51, this small thing gets fixed.

So, I'm considering updating to the latest LTS. It's been almost a month since the upgrade path opened up. Should I wait a bit longer for general issues to be fixed, if there are any?

I've attached a list of the containers I'm running. Anyone with a similar build, apps, or containers is welcome to share their experience!

Huion pen tablet no longer working

1 Upvotes

Helloo, I recently upgraded my Ubuntu version and after this, my Huion tablet no longer recognizes clicks. I can no longer close out tabs, draw, or any action that involves putting pen to tablet. I've re-installed my drivers, but no dice.. tablet worked fine on the previous version, though. Should I just roll back my version?

Ever since upgrading to 26.04, I'm having nothing but memory issues

0 Upvotes

Games I previously played at high quality now crash. Can't have more than a few tabs open in Firefox or else the kernel will close programs due to memory shortage. My fans never kick on even if my laptop is hot. These issues started immediately after upgrading to 26.04.

Is there a guide on how to fix these issues? I'm admittedly really stupid when it comes to linux.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS freezes right after boot on Dell Latitude 7280 in dual-boot with Windows

3 Upvotes

I have a Dell Latitude 7280 running Windows and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in a dual-boot setup. Everything was working fine at first, but Ubuntu started freezing just after booting.

Now, the system becomes unresponsive either during startup or shortly after login.

Has anyone experienced this issue on a Dell Latitude 7280 or with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS? What could be causing it, and what are the best steps to fix it?

UML is a program that runs a full Linux kernel as just another process. It works on Android without root access and also allows for running SystemD and Docker. Making it useful for those who do not have root access or a custom kernel.

Anyone not seeing change logs for updates?

0 Upvotes

I run Mint and new updates have recently stopped showing change logs. I've been on google to find out what is going on and the ai assistant was telling me that this is also affecting Ubuntu users. I don't see any posts about it so I figured I'd ask if anyone on Ubuntu is affected by this as maybe the AI is feeding me false info.

.profile not sourced on login

2 Upvotes

I just installed Ubuntu 26.04 on a new laptop. For as long as I remember, environment variables in this file have been available in shells and other processes. Now they no longer are. As part of the installation, I mounted a second drive as /home. In that setup the home original home directory setup by a default Ubuntu installation got removed. Perhaps that included something important?

I’m coming from another laptop running Pop!_OS 24.04, where .profile is sourced as expected.

Has anything changed in how .profile is being handled in Ubuntu 26.04 or a recent GNOME version? Or did I mess up some other way?

I know that I can source "$HOME/.profile" in .zshrc as a ZSH specific workaround, but I’m looking for a proper solution.

If it helps, my dotfiles are available at https://github.com/remcohaszing/dotfiles.

Beelink SER8 (Ryzen 7 8745HS) on Ubuntu for self-hosting LLMs. Good idea?

4 Upvotes

I'm considering the Beelink SER8 with the Ryzen 7 8745HS and want to run Ubuntu on it as a home server for hosting my own LLMs for personal use.

Link: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-ser8-8745hs

Specs as listed: CPU: Ryzen 7 8745HS (8C/16T, 65W TDP, no NPU) GPU: Radeon 780M iGPU RAM: 32GB DDR5-5600 (listed as upgradeable) Storage: 1TB NVMe, with a second M.2 slot Network: 2.5GbE and Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6

My questions: - Does Ubuntu run well on the hardware? - Is the 780M usable for LLM on Ubuntu, or is CPU-only the realistic option? - If you've run something similar, or you'd recommend a different mini PC for this, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Should i update to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with my custom kernel 7.2.12-zabbly+?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

im using a custom kernel on my Thinkpad because i had a hardware issue on a older kernel. The stock kernel for ubuntu 24.04 LTS has no hardware support for my MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 card.

So if i upgrade my system to 26.04 LTS will it remove my custom kernel automatically and switches to 7.0 or do i have to do the manual installation of the 7.2.12-zabbly+ again in the GRUB settings?

I am a bit worried with the new update and im still a bit new to the linux multiverse... :)

Thank you so much for an answer :)
