Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce a set of updated spins for the GeckoLinux
Rolling
editions, now at version 999.170205. The GeckoLinux Rolling editions
are live installable DVD / USB images based on the well tested and
highly stable openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling distribution, combined with
driver and multimedia support from the Packman project. After
installation, GeckoLinux Rolling systems can be easily updated in sync
with the current updates that openSUSE Tumbleweed and Packman offer.
Changes to all GeckoLinux Rolling editions:
In addition to the bug fixes and version updates from the upstream openSUSE Tumbleweed
and Packman repositories, a GeckoLinux configuration tweak has been
included to make hibernation and resuming to/from the hard disk work
properly when the system is installed with Calamares. Additionally, the
crda package
has been included to fix an issue for some GeckoLinux users that were
unable to find any WiFI networks. Many thanks to GitHub user "Pival81" for helping to identify this issue. The openSUSE Tumbleweed base release for these spins is now at version 20170203.
Budgie10 edition: After being revived in the previous set of GeckoLinux updates, the GeckoLinux
Rolling Budgie10
edition now comes with a new repository for Budgie 10, which should
offer long-term support for future updates to this innovative desktop
environment. Many thanks to OBS packager
Matthias Mailänder for his hard work at putting this repository in place.
Plasma edition: The openSUSE Tumbleweed branch was extremely fast to integrate the
new release of Plasma 5.9, with many refinements and new features. This release of GeckoLinux
Rolling Plasma also inherits this great new release of the Plasma desktop, together with all the other fixes and updates from the underlying Tumbleweed base system and GeckoLinux configuration.
