rEFIt Humanity Icons



If you are familiar with the screen above. This post is for you! I couldn't stand staring at inconsistent icons and despite liking tux a lot I wanted to see ubuntu logo there.

So I've made a script, converted Humanity icons into Macintosh icns format and made a mac package to install them. See this screen:



So If you want this boot experience (including gray ubuntu silhouette after you select ubuntu similar to mac's apple)

Download page: https://edge.launchpad.net/refit-humanity/+download

Comments, Code, Bugs and Blueprints are welcome =)

ps. the "screenshots" are actually edited files using themed graphics and same size because rEFIt is not build with screenshot support but it is very close to reality. I don't believe it will be upstreamable to rEFIt cause it's BSD licensed and icons are GPL ...

    Does this deal with rEFIt's current issues with GRUB2, i.e. it shows a generic "legacy OS" icon rather than a linuxy one?

    Sorry email comment didn't go thought.

    This package just updates the icons and doesn't add /solve any issues with rEFIt. It works fine for me and I'm not experiencing what you are describing. I can't help you either =) cause i'm just rEFIt user and don't know much about booting & partitions.

    Nice :-) Now I just have to wait until I boot OS X to install them, right?

    Yeap. You can only install these icons from Mac OS X.

    All icons are taken from humanity-icon theme. The monochome circle of friends is called "start-here" in humanity/places icons.

    All converted icns are available from bzr branch lp:refit-humanity. And the original svg are available from bzr branch lp:humanity.

    See those two branches / launchpad projects to download them. Make sure you compily with respective license and trademark usage rights.

How to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on Ubuntu

Example of website that only supports TLS v1.0, which is rejected by the client Overivew TLS v1.3 is the latest standard for secure communication over the internet. It is widely supported by desktops, servers and mobile phones. Recently Ubuntu 18.04 LTS received OpenSSL 1.1.1 update bringing the ability to potentially establish TLS v1.3 connections on the latest Ubuntu LTS release. Qualys SSL Labs Pulse report shows more than 15% adoption of TLS v1.3. It really is time to migrate from TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1. As announced on the 15th of October 2018 Apple , Google , and Microsoft will disable TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 support by default and thus require TLS v1.2 to be supported by all clients and servers. Similarly, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will also require TLS v1.2 as the minimum TLS version as well. To prepare for the move to TLS v1.2, it is a good idea to disable TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 on your local systems and start observing and reporting any websites, systems and applications that...

Ubuntu Livepatch service now supports over 60 different kernels

Linux kernel getting a livepatch whilst running a marathon. Generated with AI. Livepatch service eliminates the need for unplanned maintenance windows for high and critical severity kernel vulnerabilities by patching the Linux kernel while the system runs. Originally the service launched in 2016 with just a single kernel flavour supported. Over the years, additional kernels were added: new LTS releases, ESM kernels, Public Cloud kernels, and most recently HWE kernels too. Recently livepatch support was expanded for FIPS compliant kernels, Public cloud FIPS compliant kernels, and as well IBM Z (mainframe) kernels. Bringing the total of kernel flavours support to over 60 distinct kernel flavours supported in parallel. The table of supported kernels in the documentation lists the supported kernel flavours ABIs, the duration of individual build's support window, supported architectures, and the Ubuntu release. This work was only possible thanks to the collaboration with the Ubuntu C...

Ubuntu 23.10 significantly reduces the installed kernel footprint

Photo by Pixabay Ubuntu systems typically have up to 3 kernels installed, before they are auto-removed by apt on classic installs. Historically the installation was optimized for metered download size only. However, kernel size growth and usage no longer warrant such optimizations. During the 23.10 Mantic Minatour cycle, I led a coordinated effort across multiple teams to implement lots of optimizations that together achieved unprecedented install footprint improvements. Given a typical install of 3 generic kernel ABIs in the default configuration on a regular-sized VM (2 CPU cores 8GB of RAM) the following metrics are achieved in Ubuntu 23.10 versus Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 2x less disk space used (1,417MB vs 2,940MB, including initrd) 3x less peak RAM usage for the initrd boot (68MB vs 204MB) 0.5x increase in download size (949MB vs 600MB) 2.5x faster initrd generation (4.5s vs 11.3s) approximately the same total time (103s vs 98s, hardware dependent) For minimal cloud images that do not in...
