In their tests, its Core 3 304 delivered strong single-core performance, handled 4K YouTube at up to 60 FPS, and showed no thermal throttling; under sustained five-core load, it stabilized at 3.5-3.6 GHz on the P-core and 2.7 GHz on the E-cores as power limits took effect. The 512GB NVMe SSD read and wrote at about 1,708 and 1,599 MB/s, while Wi-Fi 6 reached 824 Mbps down and 809 Mbps up. Linux YouTube 8K playback was unwatchable, and Geekbench AI's GPU test errored despite GPU detection; its NPU was not detected. The fan measured 46.3-47 dBA under load, louder than the Beelink EQi Wildcat Lake system in the review's comparison. ### Source excerpt After checking out the ACEMAGIC Kron Mini K5's hardware with an unboxing and a teardown in the first part of the review, we tested the entry-level Intel Core 3 304 mini PC on Windows 11, and we've now taken the time to test Linux on the low-cost mini PC with Ubuntu 26.04. In this article, we'll report our experience installing Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, checking system information, running benchmarks, evaluating storage and networking (2.5GbE and WiFi 6) performance, running a stress test to monitor thermal throttling, and measuring fan noise and power consumption of the mini PC. Installing Ubuntu 26.04.1 For this test, we installed Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS alongside Windows 11. We started by shrinking the Windows (C:) partition by about half to free up space for the Linux installation. We then plugged in the USB drive and began the installation process. However, the first installation attempt failed because the system [...] The post ACEMAGIC Kron Mini K5 Review - Part 3: Ubuntu 26.04 on an entry-level Wildcat Lake mini PC appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News. ## How To Easily Install Ubuntu Desktop 26.10 on Raspberry Pi DevFeed: [How To Easily Install Ubuntu Desktop 26.10 on Raspberry Pi]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Patrick Fromaget Published: 2026-11-05T02:13:57Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [RaspberryTips]() Topics: [Ubuntu](), [Raspberry Pi](), [Tutorial]() Tags: [alternatives](), [but](), [computer](), [desktop](), [easily](), [experience](), [great](), [how-to](), [how-to-tutorials](), [i](), [install](), [it-s](), [know](), [like](), [more](), [my](), [pi](), [raspberry](), [raspberry-pi](), [ubuntu](), [ubuntu-desktop]() ### AI overview The tutorial describes installing Ubuntu Desktop on a Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi Imager, then completing the first boot wizard. It recommends a Raspberry Pi 5, 500, 4, or 400 with at least 4GB RAM, a 16GB minimum SD card (32GB recommended), adequate power, and a keyboard and mouse; it suggests Ubuntu Server or Core for less capable models. After flashing the image from "Other general-purpose OS," users set language, keyboard, network, account, and timezone. Ubuntu provides a desktop dock, settings, basic apps, and an app store; Firefox may feel slow, and some applications may not support Pi hardware. Apps can also be installed with APT. The text identifies the system as Ubuntu Desktop 26.04, despite the title specifying 26.10. ### Source excerpt I use Raspberry Pi OS for most of my tutorials because it's simple and reliable. But when I want my Raspberry Pi to feel more like a regular desktop computer, Ubuntu Desktop is one of my favorite alternatives.

The IPv4 TCP-handshake use-after-free is rated 9.8 by the kernel CVE team, while Oracle and SUSE rate it 8.1 because they consider exploitation harder. The excerpt says attackers may crash systems, cause DDoS or achieve root code execution, and reports an Anthropic researcher's claim that an unreleased Claude model produced a working remote exploit via MPTCP. Canonical says kernels undergo testing across thousands of certified devices, and administrators can use the -proposed pocket for an earlier fix. It rejects disabling MPTCP as a workaround, calling security updates the only appropriate mitigation. The article suggests the fixed kernel testing period may be contributing to delays. ### Source excerpt Canonical is fixing a critical Linux kernel flaw in Ubuntu, weeks after Debian and other distros did - and users aren't happy about the wait. As of 3 November, patched kernels for CVE-2026-98432 are in testing for Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, but are yet to hit the stable updates pocket. Canonical hasn't given a date for when it expects them to. What's the issue, is it major and why are folks spitting feathers over the fact it hasn't been patched?

It affects APT-based frontends; Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and newer are affected by default, while older releases are affected only when Acquire::Retries is nonzero. HTTPS and other transport methods such as FTP are not vulnerable to this attack path, though TLS protects only traffic in transit; archive signatures provide end-to-end integrity. Before updating, the excerpt recommends setting retries to zero for the upgrade: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -o Acquire::Retries=0`. It also provides a targeted APT-package upgrade command. Security fixes are available for affected Ubuntu releases; unattended-upgrades applies them within 24 hours when enabled. ### Source excerpt Fixes are available in Ubuntu for the CVE-2026-109518 vulnerability affecting APT. ## Debian and Ubuntu APT Flaw Lets MitM Attackers Swap Verified Packages and Run Code as Root DevFeed: [Debian and Ubuntu APT Flaw Lets MitM Attackers Swap Verified Packages and Run Code as Root]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: The Hacker News Published: 2026-11-04T17:00:46Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Cyber Newsroom]() Topics: [apt](), [Debian](), [Ubuntu]() Tags: [apt](), [attack](), [cve](), [debian](), [downloads](), [fixed](), [http](), [https](), [linux](), [malicious](), [mirror](), [proxy](), [retries](), [root](), [software-security](), [supply-chain](), [ubuntu](), [vulnerability]() ### AI overview CVE-2026-109518 lets an attacker who can alter HTTP traffic between APT and a package server replace a checked package; when the system installs it, the attacker's code runs as root. The attack uses redirects and temporary server errors to trigger APT's default download retry behavior, enabled by default from Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04. Older Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04 are not exposed by default, though scripts may enable retries. Debian published fixed APT versions, including 2.2.5 for Debian 11; Ubuntu reported updates for its releases, but its status page still listed all eight tracked releases as vulnerable at 15:46 UTC on November 4, 2026. The advisories cited no known exploitation or workaround and did not say whether HTTPS package sources are exposed. ### Source excerpt Debian and Ubuntu APT Flaw Lets MitM Attackers Swap Verified Packages and Run Code as Root A flaw in APT, the package manager for Debian and Ubuntu, allows an attacker who can modify package downloads to swap a checked package for their own.

Benchmarks found strong GPU acceleration for Llama prompt processing (about 15.6-17.8x CPU speed), while token generation improved only around 4-4.5%; OpenVINO also detected the CPU, GPU, and NPU for local LLM inference. In YOLO26 inference-only tests, the GPU reached 411/210/116 FPS and NPU 357/189/68 FPS across three model sizes, versus much lower CPU results. Those figures exclude camera and post-processing overhead; actual webcam rates were commonly around 10 FPS. A depth-estimation demo ran at 25-30 FPS with GPU acceleration, and a gesture-controlled vision demo ran at 28-30 FPS at 640x480 but slowed at higher resolutions. Limits included CPU thermal throttling under sustained load, a Geekbench AI GPU test failure, and an NPU not detected by that benchmark. ### Source excerpt Today, I'm going to review the LattePanda Mu Ultra, a compact x86 compute module designed for on-device AI applications. It comes in two versions, powered by either an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V or a Core Ultra 7 256V processor. Both models feature 16 GB of high-speed LPDDR5X memory running at 8533 MT/s, with the higher-end model delivering up to 115 TOPS of combined AI computing power. In this review, I installed Ubuntu 26.04 and benchmarked the LattePanda Mu Ultra using various tools, including sbc-bench, Geekbench 7, and Geekbench AI. I also tested its CPU, GPU, and NPU performance with llama.cpp and YOLO26 to evaluate its capabilities for AI applications. Finally, I created a fun demo combining YOLO26, MediaPipe, and OpenCV to test real-time computer vision performance, including hand gesture-based image adjustments, using a USB webcam.

Instead of relying on a saved token alone, the flow protects a long-lived OAuth refresh grant with a USB FIDO2 key; touching the key and entering its PIN issues a short-lived token for requests. Malware running during a logged-in session could still use that short-lived token, but cannot use the protected grant to request another. Setup requires a supported USB key and the `python3-fido2` package. NFC keys and device-stored passkeys are not supported. ### Source excerpt Developers who use Launchpad can now use a USB FIDO2 security key to restrict API access, which makes any stolen login details useless without it. Launchpad is, as I'm sure you know, where Canonical builds Ubuntu's package, hosts code, PPAs and many other things that end up on a users' system. Developer tools, like lp-shell and ubuntu-archive-tools, log in with a saved token, normally kept as a text file or in the desktop keyring on the developer's machine. Anyone who gets hold of it, malware included, could act as them, with the permissions it carries.

Crafted connection requests with IPv4 Record Route or Timestamp options can trigger a race that reads freed memory; remote code execution is possible, though no attacks have been reported. Red Hat has shipped fixed kernels for RHEL 8, 9, and 10; installation requires a reboot. Ubuntu fixes for 22.04, 24.04, and 26.04 LTS are still in the opt-in *-proposed* channel, where packages do not install automatically, and no regular release date is given. Older Ubuntu releases have no fix yet. Red Hat's nftables rule blocks the known trigger but cannot fully prevent exploitation and may disrupt workloads using IPv4 options; it also does not cover same-host container traffic. Canonical says disabling MPTCP alone is insufficient and identifies security updates as the appropriate mitigation. An internal Anthropic model reportedly produced an unpublished exploit, while public proof-of-concept code only triggers and detects the race. ### Source excerpt Red Hat Patches 9.8-Rated Linux TCP RCE Flaw While Ubuntu Releases Fixes for Testing Fixed kernels for a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IPv4 TCP code are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, while Ubuntu's fixes for its three newest long-term-su ...

It offers plain hibernation, Hybrid Sleep (suspend while also saving the session to disk), and suspend followed by hibernation when the battery becomes critical. Suspend retains the session in RAM and wakes quickly but continues using battery; hibernation saves the session to disk and powers off. The excerpt says hibernation still requires swap at least as large as the RAM in use, and Secure Boot blocks it because the saved image is unsigned. The page flags both issues under Detected Problems and stores settings in its own systemd file. ### Source excerpt Abhishek Prakash writes at It's FOSS that Linux Mint is bringing hibernation back. The Mint team previewed a new Sleep Modes page in its System Administration tool, planned for Mint 27 in December. It turns hibernation on and sets it up without hand-editing config files.

Ubuntu fixes for 22.04 LTS and newer are in the -proposed pocket while undergoing qualification testing, including tests on more than 2,000 certified servers and devices. Proposed packages are not upgraded by default: users can enable the pocket, explicitly install the release's proposed kernel update, and reboot. Ubuntu says the fixes will move to the updates pocket after testing; fixes for older supported releases will follow. The text notes that disabling MPTCP is recommended by some sources because a described, yet-unreleased exploit uses it, but Ubuntu considers security updates the appropriate mitigation and reports no other known published or generated exploit. ### Source excerpt Fixes for the CVE-2026-98432 Linux kernel vulnerability are available for Ubuntu. ## This tool lets you install Linux without a USB key, straight from Windows DevFeed: [This tool lets you install Linux without a USB key, straight from Windows]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Anne Barela Published: 2026-11-02T16:06:32Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Adafruit Industries]() Topics: [Linux](), [Windows](), [Linux Mint](), [Ext4](), [bitlocker]() Tags: [bios](), [bitlocker](), [compatibility](), [development](), [distro](), [dual-boot](), [ext4](), [failure](), [github](), [grub](), [install](), [libertix](), [linux](), [linux-mint](), [machine](), [operating-system](), [ubuntu](), [uefi](), [usb](), [windows](), [zorin-os]() ### AI overview Libertix installs Linux Mint or Zorin OS in a dual boot setup from Windows without a live USB. It checks firmware, disk layout, BitLocker status and available space, then shrinks the Windows partition, downloads and verifies the ISO, and stages a one-time boot into its live environment. After reboot, it creates an ext4 partition, installs Linux and adds a GRUB menu for Linux, Windows, shutdown and advanced options. It tracks completed stages so cancellation or failure can roll back finished steps and restore Windows boot. The project is in early development; the excerpt recommends testing it on a spare machine. ### Source excerpt Abhishek Prakash, writing for It's FOSS, covers Libertix, a Windows application that installs Linux in a dual boot setup without a live USB.

It will offer hibernation, Hybrid Sleep, and Suspend-then-Hibernate, and is designed to enable and configure them without manual config edits. Hibernation saves the session to disk and powers off, avoiding battery drain but taking time to save and restore. Hybrid Sleep suspends while also saving to disk; Suspend-then-Hibernate starts with suspend and switches to hibernation at a critical battery level. The feature does not remove hibernation's requirements: swap must be large enough for the session, and Secure Boot lockdown can block it. The tool identifies these issues and stores settings in its own systemd file. ### Source excerpt Linux Mint is bringing back a feature most Linux distributions quietly gave up on years ago: hibernation. ## Banana Pi BPI-M8 - An Allwinner A733 SBC inspired by the Raspberry Pi 5 with PCIe FFC connector, UFS module socket DevFeed: [Banana Pi BPI-M8 - An Allwinner A733 SBC inspired by the Raspberry Pi 5 with PCIe FFC connector, UFS module socket]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft) Published: 2026-11-02T10:47:16Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [CNX Software - Embedded Systems News]() Topics: [banana pi](), [Raspberry Pi](), [allwinner](), [pcie](), [armbian]() Tags: [4k](), [ai](), [ai-accelerator](), [allwinner](), [allwinner-a-series](), [android](), [arm](), [armbian](), [banana-pi](), [bluetooth](), [bpi](), [buildroot](), [camera](), [credit-card](), [csi](), [debian](), [display](), [emmc](), [ethernet](), [hardware](), [linux](), [pcie](), [pi-5](), [raspberry-pi](), [raspberry-pi-5](), [sbc](), [single-board-computer](), [socket](), [ubuntu](), [ufs]() ### AI overview Banana Pi's BPI-M8 is a 85 x 56 mm Allwinner A733 SBC with 4GB LPDDR5, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, two camera connectors, and a PCIe FFC connector. The BPI-M8A has 64GB eMMC; the BPI-M8B has 16MB SPI NOR. The board also includes an M.2-style UFS socket, microSD slot, and Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin header. Listed prices are $109/$73 on AliExpress and $103/$69 in Banana Pi's shop, respectively. Although Android, Linux, and Armbian are claimed as supported, the excerpt reports that documentation provides no OS images or source code yet and focuses mainly on hardware; it also describes A733 software progress, especially mainline Linux support, as disappointing. Other A733 SBCs mentioned are ArmSoM Sige6, Orange Pi 4 Pro, and Radxa Cubie A7A, with PCIe connector type identified as a key difference. ### Source excerpt Banana Pi BPI-M8 is a credit card-sized SBC powered by an Allwinner A733 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 SoC that aims to offer an alternative to the Raspberry Pi 5.

To run its demos, connect a USB camera and put the kit on a local network over Ethernet or WiFi; then open its IP address in a browser. Visual Wake-Word, YOLO object detection, MobileNet edge, and Face demos run locally without cloud access. The kit includes Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS (marked "TBC"), Python 3.7, and MetaTF; users can build custom models with the MetaTF ML Framework, and the article says on-chip training can add classes on-device. Edge Impulse support appears in the product brief but not the user manual. The article estimates similar hardware at about $350 plus taxes and shipping, with roughly two hours for assembly and software installation. It frames the kit's premium as potentially worthwhile for buyers whose time is valued above about $400 per hour. ### Source excerpt A few weeks ago, we noted that the Brainchip AKD1500 M.2 module could work with the Raspberry Pi 5 using a compatible M.2 HAT+ expansion card to evaluate the solution or develop applications using the company's low-power, low-latency neuromorphic AI technology. To make things even easier, they've now introduced the AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit that packs a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB, an official M.2 HAT+, and an Akida AKD1500 M.2 B+M-Key card into a metal case. Most ports from the Raspberry Pi 5 are exposed, namely the Gigabit Ethernet port, the four USB connectors, the two HDMI video outputs, and the USB-C port for power. The Raspberry Pi 5 power button and an LED on the M.2 HAT+ are also visible through openings in the metal case. The kit requires a camera for operation, but instead of relying on a MIPI CSI-based Raspberry Pi Camera module, users are [...] The post Brainchip AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit enables users to quickly experiment with event-based neuromorphic AI appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News. ## Ubuntu 27.04 'Tenacious T-Rex' opens for development DevFeed: [Ubuntu 27.04 'Tenacious T-Rex' opens for development]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Joey Sneddon Published: 2026-10-30T21:15:12Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [OMG!
