Originally called Unity 8, it was originally conceived by Canonical as the holy grail of interfaces, a “convergence desktop” that would scale to work on pretty much any device from a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop plus IoT and other hardware too. One aim was to be able to just plug your smartphone into a screen and keyboard and it would be your desktop. Best of all, it was designed for Wayland. | ||

+ | Ce dernier essai s’appelle Ubuntu Lomiri 24.04 (sans LTS) et Saraswat l’a rendu disponible publiquement afin que tout le monde puisse l’examiner et voir son fonctionnement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Saraswat note que cette version d’Ubuntu Lomiri est, pour la plupart, utilisable, disant que « contrairement aux ISO Lomiri à moitié cassées pour les tests que j’ai compilées par le passé, celle-ci est très stable et peut être installée sur du véritable matériel, tout en comprenant l’écran d’accueil lightDM d’Ubuntu Touch et plusieurs applis que vous vous attendrez à ne trouver que sur Ubuntu Touch. Toutefois, gardez à l’esprit que vous pourriez rencontrer des plantages occasionnels ici et là. » Ce qui est tout à fait exact. | ||

Since this is just a test release, it is pretty “bare bones” overall. The ISO boots up to a very bare desktop but hitting the “super” key displays the launcher, at least, which then allows access to the main menu. | Since this is just a test release, it is pretty “bare bones” overall.

- | There is no graphical package manager, but APT works from the command line. Snap packages are also enabled with snapd already installed. This was useful as I had to install the FileZilla FTP client as a Snap to get my screenshots out of the live session since drives are not able to be mounted and the Morph web browser would not connect to the file manager to allow getting them off by either of those methods.

L’ISO démarre sur un bureau très vide, mais si vous appuyez sur la touche « super », le lanceur s’affiche et c’est déjà ça, car vous pouvez alors accéder au menu principal. |

+ | Il n’y a pas de gestionnaire de paquets graphique, mais APT fonctionne à partir de la ligne de commande. Les paquets snap sont également activés, car snapd est déjà installé. Cela était utile, car j’ai dû installer le client FTP FileZilla en tant que Snap pour pouvoir récupérer mes captures d’écrans de la session Live, puisque vous ne pouvez pas monter des disques et le navigateur Web Morph refusait de se connecter au gestionnaire de fichiers pour permettre de les récupérer par l’une ou l’autre de ces méthodes. Il y a quelques bogues. | ||
