Marius Nestor informs us that Ubuntu Touch in 64-bit ARM image formats are available for the Sony Xperia X, OnePlus 3 and 3T phones. Previously running in 32-bit mode, this will improve speed though apps need to be recompiled for 64bit mode to benefit.  The Unity 8 UI and Mir 1.x display server have arrived in the development version of Ubuntu Touch, which will roll out to other users when the OTA-12 occurs later this year. Also announced is TELEports 0.6.0 Telegram client for Ubuntu Touch.

This Ubuntu Bug Reveals Your Media Files To Others Without Warning

Charanjeet Singh makes us aware of a new bug that shares media files with users on the same network that affects Ubuntu 19.10. Charanjeet shares the nature of the flaw, and that developers are working towards a fix. A temporary workaround is reported as uninstalling the Rygel package. We are advised that "Users who are running Ubuntu 19.10 and use GNOME Shell are not affected by the error."

ZFS/Zsys Improvements Are Already Underway For Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Michael Larabel advises of the feature work in the ZFS changes that are destined for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu's Zsys daemon. In the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS cycle under consideration are expanded install options, changes to Grub's install, dynamic /boot sizing, and as well are improvements to the documentation. Links are provided to the project work pages on GitHub for additional information.

The Linux Kernel Seeing Backport Progress Finally For The "$1.5 Million Dollar Bug"

Michael Larabel reminds us of a fixed performance issue in kernel 5.4 impacting highly-threaded CFS quota environments which was detected late 2017. Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the fix has now been back-ported to Linux 5.3 so end-users using that kernel should see fixes soon, with fixes for older LTS releases still to be done.

Ubuntu Touch Is Now Finally Available as 64-Bit ARM Images for Ubuntu Phones

Marius Nestor informs us that Ubuntu Touch in 64-bit ARM image formats are available for the Sony Xperia X, OnePlus 3 and 3T phones. Previously running in 32-bit mode, this will improve speed though apps need to be recompiled for 64bit mode to benefit. The Unity 8 UI and Mir 1.x display server have arrived in the development version of Ubuntu Touch, which will roll out to other users when the OTA-12 release occurs later this year. Also announced is TELEports 0.6.0 Telegram client for Ubuntu Touch.
