Dear FUSS Community,
hereinafter you will find the latest modifications to the current release (FUSS 12) and the previous 2 releases (FUSS 10 and 11) which are going to lose our support during the current school year (the sooner - the better!).
We lately added these packages to the appropriate fuss-* metapackages:
- ardour: digital audio workstation and multichannel hard disk recorder
- balena-etcher: powerful OS image flasher
- crypromator: software for client-side encryption of folders and files.
- keepassxc: password manager
- minder: a good mindmapping tool (FUSS 11 and 12 only)
- mkvtoolnix: command line tools to work with Matroska multimedia format
- musescore4 (FUSS 12 only): multiplatform and multilingual software for musical notation
- onboard: on screen keyboard which can be also used on the login interface (lightdm).
- openjdk-17-jdk (and related packages): Java Development Kit v. 17 (FUSS 11 and 12 only)
- thunderbird and some localization packages (de, it, en, es, fr): very well known e-mail, calendar and contact client.
- tldr: command line tool to view the tldr pages which are a community effort to simplify the beloved man pages with practical examples.
Furthermore, we found out why the keyboard layout couldn't be changed on the upper right part of the login screen. It was a bug in the package slick-greeter 1.6.1-1 still present in Debian 12. We tested version 2.0.1-1 from Debian 13 "trixie" since the bug was corrected there. It worked fine and we uploaded the updated slick-greeter package in archive.fuss.bz.it.
The missing on-screen-keyboard and the malfunctioning keyboard selection feature on the login interface were pointed out by Diego Maniacco a few days ago. Thanks Diego for pointing out these bugs and Claudio for finding the solution. This is how the FUSS community works together.
In order to update your FUSS installation, simply run as root
apt update apt dist-upgrade fuss-client --standalone --domain fuss.bz.it
We are working to automate the launch of the last command whenever the package fuss-client is updated.
Have a nice evening! The FUSS Team.
