OBS Studio 31.0 intros a slate of new features and capabilities.

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Released with Linux Kernel 6.8

The fifth and final point release to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now available to download. This update was due to be released a couple of weeks ago but was delayed by a delay in getting Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS out the door – something had to give, so the release date of this update slipped. But it’s here now, ready to download. Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS brings a freshly-spun installer image (ISO) that includes all of the software, security, and stability updates released since the last ISO was made. This cuts down on the number of updates that have to downloaded after

Ubuntu 22.04 Users Can Now Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.5

You can now upgrade to Linux kernel 6.5 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — no PPAs, additional repos, or edge packages required. Ubuntu routinely back-ports newer Linux kernels from “interim” releases to its latest long-term support release. The Linux 6.5 kernel from Ubuntu 23.10, released back in October, is the latest version to get the treatment. Now, this major kernel update affects the standard hardware-enablement (HWE) kernel only. It will not replace the standard GA kernel Ubuntu 22.04 LTS originally came with. If you’ve chosen to stick with Linux 5.15 because it works best then don’t fret: it ain’t going away.

And if you’re using Ubuntu, you’ll be able see and use them well before iPhone users, too. Rolling out to users on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 23.10 is an update to the Noto Color Emoji font that includes support for the 118 new emoji in Unicode 15.1. As well as the aforementioned brown mushroom, lime, and firebird, it includes new nodding and head-shaking smileys, a broken link,

#ROS - #Docker - #RaspberryPi5 !!!

#slam_toolbox async mapping:
- Pi4 15% CPU (2% of RPi4)
- Pi5 5% CPU (1% of RPi5)

Much prefer configuring and running ROS 2 native on #Ubuntu22_04Lts on Pi4 than configuring Docker on Pi5.

All talking to each other - pretty impressed with #ros2humble

pidwait on my ubuntu-22.04 work machine behaves like pgrep, it simply doesn't wait - what gives?

I compiled a newer version and put it in my home-dir, but I don't understand what happens.
