System
- Ubuntu 14.04 Long-term Stable Release base (with updates applied up to Jan 15, 2015). Supported until April 2019!
- Updated to Linux kernel 3.13.0-37
- Xfce 4.10
What's New?
- All known installation and other bugs have been fixed.
- Robust EFI support. UberStudent has everything upstream Ubuntu has, plus a little more. See the notes below.
- Much, much faster boot time--literally cut by about half.
- Cleaner, faster code throughout.
- UberStudent Panel Changer - Switch between a traditional two-panel desktop (like GNOME 2) and a one-panel desktop featuring whiskermenu and dockbarx. Takes two clicks and a log-out and log back in to take affect.
- Improvements for smart auto-fixing of common Linux and Xfce annoyances that are often frustrating and perplexing to new Linux users and send them running back to Windows or Mac.
- Over a dozen gorgeous new custom themes made by Ube4rStudent that you can mix-and-match with the new sets of colored UberOxygen icons. See some of them here.
- Menu pre-loading. No more clicking and waiting for several seconds after you first boot.
- UberStudent Locales - Easy-to-use, feature-filled program for language switching.
- Main Menu Restorer - Restore the default menus with one click.
- Guest Account Configuration - While still somewhat experimental, just make an account with the username guest and log in to it (and back out after making changes) to try it out.
- A wonderfully customized Chromium profile with smartly chosen pre-installed apps and extensions that have no dependence upon skel.
- A new Firefox extension coded by UberStudent that smartly removes annoyances and increases Firefox user-friendliness in Linux.
- A greatly improved Update Manager coupled with even smarter apt configurations for still more stability.
- UberStudent WebApps now have multi-browser support.
- Improved hardware detection.
- Driver Manager - improved to ensure that the latest and greatest proprietary driver options display as alternatives you can install (as always, please prefer the open source drivers contained in the Linux kernel, unless you have some specific performance need to do otherwise).
- As before, everything "just works right out of the box," including the custom builds of the latest Zotero, whether you prefer the standalone or the Firefox version.
- Some updated artwork, e.g., the default configurations, plus if you choose to use it, Whisker Menu is themed with the default UberStudent theme.
- The default UberStudent panels should work without artifacts or redundancies across various PC or laptop configurations. If you have the hardware for something, it should just pick it up and display it; if not, it should just stay hidden.
- MUCH, MUCH MORE!
EFI Installation Notes
- If your system is using secureBoot, please turn it off.
- IMPORTANT TECH NOTE: UberStudent places its boot files in /boot/efi/ubuntu to work around Ubuntu bug #1242417. As a result, and as with all other EFI-supporting Ubuntu-based distributions (e.g., Linux Mint), UberStudent supports EFI installations but cannot be dual-booted with Ubuntu and its variants (e.g., Kubuntu), upstream variants of Ubuntu (e.g., Linux Mint), or any other Ubuntu-based distribution that has been installed with automatic EFI support. You have to choose just one Ubuntu-based distro for harddrive installation, at this time. Easy workaround: To run multiple Ubuntu-based distributions on a single EFI machine, use VirtualBox (UberStudent will run full-screen right away in VirtualBox, both when run from disk and after it is installed--no need to install Guest Additions).
Known Issues
- None. Version 4.1 represents many months of hard work and reflective thought to make it what I'm sure you'll agree is among the most polished and stable Linux desktops anywhere, period. If you experience any issues, please first run the Update Manager; if any issues persist, please report them here. Our goal is to make UberStudent the most trouble-free Linux distribution available, "an out-of the box" Linux distribution that "just works" and is very hard to break.
Updating from UberStudent 4.0
- If you already have UberStudent 4.0 installed in a system using BIOS, there is no need to update to UberStudent 4.1. The Update Manger will update your system, although 4.0 configurations in your home directory may override some of the new ones that would otherwise seed there with 4.1.
