Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will reach its end of life soon

This version of Ubuntu, which was released on October 2025, is now nearing the end of life period. Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka brought Linux 6.17, systemd 257.9, .NET 10.0, and various new versions of different packages. It’s a short term release that is supported for nine months, as opposed to long-term releases.

According to an announcement made on the mailing list, the support period is now becoming closer to the finish, with July 9th, 2026 being the day that Ubuntu 25.10 will no longer be supported.

This means that the following will happen:

• After the mentioned end of support date, Ubuntu 25.10 will no longer receive any new versions of packages.
• Security updates for different packages will also no longer be made for this version of Ubuntu.
• Official support will no longer cover this version of Ubuntu.

In order to continue receiving official support and new package updates, including security updates that will be distributed after July 2026, consult one of the upgrade paths, depending on the type of installation:

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is supported for 15 years total, including 5 years of mainstream support, which will include point releases that will be unveiled in the future, such as v26.04.1, which is expected to arrive in the second half of this year. We recommend that you upgrade your systems using 25.10 to this version to continue receiving updates and official support.

Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray Snapshot 1 released!

Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray has four development snapshots to help you test this version of Ubuntu without having to rely on daily builds. This was done as part of the official plan that the release team have released on the official Ubuntu documentation site.

The official plan stated that the Ubuntu release team wanted to release Ubuntu every six months, while relying on the modern software engineering practices. More automated testing will be made to ensure that future releases will have next-to-zero problems that may cause a delay of the release. Alongside this, the release process will be refined to achieve the goal of little to no human intervention when dealing with releases.

The Ubuntu release team describe the snapshot releases as not production-ready releases, but as testable milestones that allow you to try out the upcoming version of Ubuntu without having to wait until the official release.

You can find those snapshots here:

• Ubuntu
• Edubuntu
• Kubuntu
• Lubuntu
• Xubuntu
• Ubuntu Budgie
• Ubuntu MATE
• Ubuntu Unity
• Ubuntu Cinnamon
• Ubuntu Kylin (麒麟)
• Ubuntu Studio

Ubuntu 25.10 Flatpak issue fix is on the way!

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka was released a week ago, and it brought many new exciting features. Sadly, it appears that it has broken Flatpak support, as users were encountering errors when trying to install any Flatpak application, and bug reports, such as this one, were being landed to Launchpad.

When Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka was released, users have discovered that the installation of any Flatpak application fails with error messages stating that it’s unable to unmount revokefs-fuse, which is a fatal bug. Additionally, AppArmor generates messages that talk about permission denial of file accesses in /run/mount/utab and its related files, which are /run/mount/utab.*.

The error messages that are generated when trying to install any Flatpak application are:

The bug will be fixed soon, but the fix has landed to the -proposed repository pocket with version 5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu8.1 of apparmor. Before, the version that came with the release was 5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu8.

When this fixed version was installed, people began verifying that the fix actually worked, and it looks like that the fix worked, as Flatpak installations seemed to have succeeded, and that the resulting applications were running fine. However, AppArmor still generates denial messages related to DAC_OVERRIDE and SETUID capabilities.

If the fix lands, you’ll be able to install and run Flatpak applications on your system.
