[NEWS] Xubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 Released

Xubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 has been released.

Xubuntu 13.04 is mostly a maintenance release, and there won’t be too many new features. In Beta 2, we’ve fixed the following bugs:
  • Documentation is updated to 13.04
  • New version of Catfish (0.6.1) is included and fixes a lot of bugs
  • More updates for the Greybird theme
In addition, new features and bug fixes introduced in Beta 1 and earlier include:
  • Gnumeric and GIMP are reintroduced
  • New version of Parole (0.5.0) is included
  • Duplicate partitions are no longer shown on desktop or Thunar
  • Some updates for the Greybird theme

Beta 2 is not suitable for production machines because is still unstable and is available here.

    Great to see Xubuntu Geek blog still going. I really appreciate your useful tips and advice. Xubuntu is fantastic.

    I'm wondering about how / if I'll upgrade to 13.04 when it's released (on 12.10 at the moment). Hope you might have a post on how best to upgrade.

      Thank you!

      13.04 is non-LTS, so it will have 9 months of support (security updates). LTS releases have 5 years of support. The next LTS is 14.04 (LTS are released every 2 years).

      To change the logo replace the image ~/.conky/new-ubuntu-logo.png with one of your liking.

      To change colors, just run the install code for the color that's provided on the website and restart conky.

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
