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.

apt update apt dist-upgrade fuss-client --standalone --domain fuss.bz.it

Dear all,
as promised in the previous e-mail, we automated yesterday (thanks Claudio!) the launch of fuss-client --standalone to apply new configurations after upgrades to the package.
The fuss-client package plays a central role for FUSS clients connected to a FUSS server and for standalone FUSS machines.
Remember that FUSS also offers unattended-upgrades of Debian and FUSS packages from the respective repositories.
With FUSS 12 package updates and new configurations are really hassle-free for end users.
Don't hesitate to send us your feed-back.
Best regards,
The FUSS Team htps://fuss.bz.it

Thank you very much for your work! I had never used the fuss-client command before and I suspect that it is playing a trick on me. Since the change, my keyboard is set to Italian after logging in, although DE is displayed at the bottom right. As soon as I click once on the keyboard layout, the keyboard has the correct setting again, the display does not change because it was already set to DE before. It bothers me to think that saved passwords might not work and that I have to call up an extra programme to check the status.
Best regards Franz Linter

Thank you Franz for your kind feed-back. We are working on that in order to keep as first keyboard layout the one chosen by the user during the installation of FUSS. In your specific case please modify the file /etc/default/keyboard prepending "de" as default keyboard layout as shown in the following line:
XKBLAYOUT="de,it,fr,es,gb,us"
Best regards, Paolo.
