There are two branches for ubermix, leading-edge and stable, which correspond with [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu's] regular and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS "Long Term Support" (LTS)] releases. In general, for most applications we recommend using the most recent release available. While at certain times this version might be the "stable" release, keep in mind that "stable" in the open source world means "doesn't change much" and is often code for "old". As such, don't be afraid to use a non-"stable" version. They are just as reliable as "stable" versions.

Known issues:<br />
+
4.03 (July 2018)<br />
Some systems with Realtek wireless cards (EeePC 901/1000 in particular, but may be others) might not connect reliably to a wireless network that uses WPA security. If you experience this problem, open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and type "sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-`uname -r`" followed by the enter key.<br /><br />
+

Fixed a bug on the install key that caused boot to fail on a simple upgrade from Karmic base to Lucid base<br />
 
Significant sanity check on install key - fixed a number of issues, improved overall, will probably work on netbooks w 4G total storage <br /><br />
 
0.70beta3<br />
 
Added back in KTuberling (Potato Guy) for younger students<br />

Add backports for wireless drivers to make sure we stay up to date<br />
 
Downgrade to Skype 2.0 for better audio compatibility<br />

Fixed update-hostname so that it only pulls the first MAC address from systems with multiple "ethX" interfaces<br /><br />
 
0.65<br />
 
Adjusted size of base system partition to max 4Gb (EeePCs w solid state have a 4G disk for the OS), giving more space for applications. Increased size of user changes partition to 1Gb and moved to disk b on two disk models (EeePC). Updated all scripts, kernels, and ubermix-key installer to match.<br />
 
Updated ubermix-key installer to support system upgrades without loss of user data for all future releases (but not from .64 to .65, due to disk geometry changes)<br />
 
Updated image_prep script to no longer delete user/home partitions, as this is no longer necessary with upgrade capability. Re-image of image masters will no longer be necessary.<br />

0.63<br />
 
Updated to Scratch 1.4, now that a stable build is available. Supports all current Scratch features from other platforms, as well as any screen geometry (w00t!)<br />
 
Removed Cheese and replaced with guvcview. Cheese suffers from a number of bugs, including static images for 3-5 secs at the start of recorded video, no support for ALSA, etc. guvcview offers better controls and more reliable performance, and saves in avi format, which is a bit better supported on all platforms than ogg.<br />

'''''Please note:''''' Due to design complexities/special requirements of the newest Intel Atom N2x00 (Cedar Trail) devices, until further notice there will be two separate downloadable builds of ubermix - a General Availability (GA) version for most devices, and a special Cedar Trail (CT) version for new Cedar Trail devices (mostly netbooks). Please be sure to download the correct version. When possible, the two versions will be consolidated into one.<br />
 
<br />
 
'''''Please also note:''''' Due to the necessary increase in the size of the base system partition, ubermix versions 0.913 and up will not be installable on EeePC 90x series devices, as they lack the appropriate available space on their primary drive. Please download and install version 0.912 or earlier on these devices - for now.

There are two branches for ubermix, 6.x and 5.x, which correspond with Ubuntu's regular and "Long Term Support" (LTS) releases. In general, for most applications we recommend using the most recent release available.

ubermix 6.x: ubermix 5.x and 4.x:
Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) - Updates through April 2027


6.06 (July 2022)
Upstream updates
Install key script cleanup. Better handling of small disks.

6.05 (June 2022)
Set default python command to use python3
Fixed quick restore dropping default desktop image
Updated um-status and umc-clients in ubermix repo for jammy
Applied latest upstream updates
