OMG! Ubuntu!Ubuntu Fixes Wi-Fi Connection Fail at Login ScreenUbuntu users frustrated by the inability to connect to a new password-protected Wi-Fi network at the login screen will be pleased to know a fix is rolling out. This particular bug affects users of both Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. When trying to join a wireless network at the login screen (GDM) which requires a password, the password input prompt never appears and the connection fails. Why does—soon to be ‘did’—connecting to a wifi network at the Ubuntu login screen fail? Canonical software engineer (and the original bug reporter) Bartosz Woronicz explains: "The log-in screen [in Ubuntu] is implemented :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/BugFixes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BugFixes</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Gdm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gdm</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ubuntu24_04Lts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu24_04Lts</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ubuntu24_10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu24_10</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/ubuntu-fix-wifi-connecting-login-screen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/ubuntu-fix-wifi-connecting-login-screen</a>

OMG! Ubuntu!How to Disable (or Change) Login Sound in Ubuntu 24.10When you log in to Ubuntu 24.10 an audio clip plays to greet you — a lengthy audio clip that slowly builds to a plinky-plonky crescendo that you—or those around you—may tire of having to sit through! But you can turn Ubuntu’s startup sound off, or swap it for an audio clip more to your tastes. Startup and login sounds were a staple part of Ubuntu during its formative years, but the distro decided to disable them in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after getting feedback that, actually, they could be a bit annoying.

OMG!

The effort brings “ray tracing and improved machine learning performance” for Intel Arc B580 and B570 “Battlemage” discrete GPUs to users on Ubuntu 24.10, building on that releases’ preexisting support for Intel Core Ultra Xe2 iGPUs. “For the past decade, Ubuntu has been one of the first distributions to enable the latest Intel architectures.

OMG! Ubuntu!Ubuntu? That’s a Bullfinch, Not an OrioleSomething a little lighthearted (unless you’re pedantic about ornithology, in which case don’t be so chirpy) it seems a Bullfinch found its way into Ubuntu 24.10 ‘Oracular Oriole’. Perhaps someone left a window open. If you’ve upgraded to Ubuntu 24.10 you may have noticed that a large number of the supplementary (i.e., non-default) backgrounds feature orioles. Or, as it turns out, what the creator thinks is an oriole. According to a bug recently filed on Launchpad, home of Ubuntu development, one of the wallpapers shipping in Oracular Oriole that is named as being of an oriole, isn’t: When I choose :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Random" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Random</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ubuntu24_10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu24_10</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Wallpapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wallpapers</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/ubuntu-bullfinch-oriole-wallpaper-bug" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/ubuntu-bullfinch-oriole-wallpaper-bug</a>

OMG! Ubuntu!How to Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.10 from 24.04 LTSWith the latest release stacked with new features, you may be looking to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.10 from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but wondering exactly how. Well, in this post I show (though in some cases, remind) you how. “I just wait for Ubuntu to tell me, right?” – no. As Ubuntu 24.04 is a long-term support (LTS) release it will NOT ask you if you want to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.10. LTS releases are configured to only notify of new LTS releases (next one is due 2026) and Ubuntu 24.10 is a short-term release.

OMG! Ubuntu!Ubuntu 24.10 is Now Available to DownloadUbuntu 24.10 is now available for download after six months of dedicated development. The latest release offers plenty of changes and new features, including the latest GNOME 47 release, more preinstalled tools for developers, and better signalling of background snap app updates. As a short-term release, Ubuntu 24.10 receives 9 months of supports. Users will need to upgrade again by July 2025 to keep getting updates. The next major update, Ubuntu 25.04, is released in April 2025.

OMG! Ubuntu!Ubuntu 24.10 ARM ISO Supports the ThinkPad X13sUbuntu 24.10 supports the Snapdragon-powered Lenovo ThinkPad X13s laptop in the official ‘generic’ ARM64 ISO — a notable change. Although it is possible to use Ubuntu 23.10 on the Thinkpad X13s it requires using of a custom ISO spun-up specifically for this device. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS had no official installer image for this device (it is possible to upgrade to 24.04 from 23.10, albeit with caveats).

Developers and non-developers alike can download this beta to sample the new features in Ubuntu 24.10, road-test compatibility, and flag up any snafus for fixing before the stable release takes flight. This is the only beta release that’s planned (a release candidate will follow in few weeks time). If you install the beta you can upgrade to the final release just by installing updates as they come.

OMG! Ubuntu!The Best New Features in Ubuntu 24.10Ubuntu 24.10 ‘Oracular Oriole’ is released on October 13th, and as you’d expect from a new version of Ubuntu, it’s packed with new features. As a short-term release, Ubuntu 24.10 gets 9 months of ongoing updates, security patches, and critical fixes. It’s not long, but Ubuntu 25.04 is released in April of next year (6 months later) and all users on 24.10 can upgrade to 25.04 directly. But enough about releases to come, and more on this one. In this post I run through the best Ubuntu 24.10 features, changes, and enhancements.

OMG! Ubuntu!Ubuntu 24.10 Default Wallpaper RevealedThe default wallpaper of Ubuntu 24.10 ‘Oracular Oriole’ (and the official release mascot artwork) has been unveiled. A visit to the local temple mystic wasn’t required to predict that an oriole would take centre-stage in the Ubuntu 24.10 wallpaper. Animal mascots are a recurring feature of Ubuntu’s default background since Ubuntu 17.10 ‘Artful Aardvark’. So it is – a geometric oriole bird motif sits ensconced within circles, with moons and other arcane symbols (echoing the ‘oracular’ element) surrounding it: It’ll sound twee and a tad pretentious, but I kind of see the circular aspect as a nod to the community :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/DefaultWallpaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefaultWallpaper</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Ubuntu24_10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu24_10</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/09/ubuntu-2410-default-wallpaper-design" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/09/ubuntu-2410-default-wallpaper-design</a>

Those are made possible using this tool.

An “aggressive kernel version commitment policy” pivot means it will now seek to ship the latest upstream kernel code at the time of a new Ubuntu release. Which is a huge change.
