Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS is now available to download
Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS is now available to download, the first of 5 point releases scheduled for the ‘Resolute Raccoon’ in the 3 years. The release doesn’t add new features, but brings a refreshed installation image (.iso) that includes all of the bug fixes, security patches and package updates released since the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release back in April. No new hardware enablement stack is included since there’s not been a newer Ubuntu release to backport a kernel and graphics driver set from. Next year’s Ubuntu 26.04.2 LTS release will bring the Linux kernel and GPU drivers that ship in Ubuntu […]
Chromium can be built as a Flatpak, but Google isn’t committing (yet)
If you’ve installed Chromium or Google Chrome as a Flatpak, you’ve installed an unofficial, community-maintained package done independently of the search giant – that could be about to change. Chromium’s build system is now able to generate Flatpak packages of the browser itself, though its developers caution that the change does not mean official Flatpak support is coming. A commit made by Google’s Tom Anderson this week adds the necessary packaging scripts and a build flag (enable_flatpak) to produce a .flatpak package rather than a .deb or .rpm, but that flag is off by default (for now). If enabled, Google’s […]

Intel Linux Driver Orphaned For Limiting RF Exposure To Humans
Over the past year and a half a number of open-source drivers in the Linux kernel have been orphaned as a result of departures from the company. The impact has ranged from the Intel CPU "coretemp" temperature driver being orphaned without a maintainer to other lesser known Intel drivers. Another lesser known Intel driver is now being orphaned with no longer having a maintainer at the company: the Intel Specific Absorption Rate Driver...
Why your broken Linux drivers aren't actually Linux's fault
Linux teams have limited access to some device drivers, leading to false user assumptions
The New Way Security Teams Evaluate Pentesting Vendors
by George Whittaker Why security buyers are rethinking what matters most. Security teams typically don’t struggle to find vulnerabilities as much as they have in the past. The harder part usually begins after the report arrives, once dozens of findings land in front of engineering teams already juggling patch schedules, production deadlines, and internal disagreements about urgency. Platforms like XBOW, OffSec, and Cobalt have entered that environment as organizations started rethinking what they actually need from pentesting vendors beyond annual compliance exercises. A vulnerability may look severe inside a dashboard, while no one internally agrees whether it creates meaningful exposure or simply adds another item to an already crowded queue. Infrastructure also changes too quickly for static testing cycles to answer every operational question. APIs update mid-quarter, contractors receive temporary access that lingers longer than expected, and cloud permissions change quietly during
AMD Preparing To Enable HDMI 2.1 FRL Support By Default For Linux
It was back in May that the surprising event happened of AMD posting HDMI 2.1 FRL patches for their open-source AMDGPU Linux driver as part of their broader HDMI 2.1 bring-up. For years the open-source HDMI 2.1 support in AMDGPU was blocked by the HDMI Forum but whether it was due to Valve or some other event, the code was finally unblocked. While it's been part of the kernel since Linux 7.2, it's been disabled by default -- except that is now changing...
