Breaking: Ubuntu is Dumping Mono, Mono Applications

Posted in GNU/Linux, Mono, Ubuntu at 4:24 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Trash sign with Mono

Summary: Microsoft dependency is being removed from Ubuntu GNU/Linux, based on UDS

Based on a video which is airing right night, Sebastian tells us (in IRC) that “Mono won’t be in the default install of 12.04 [but] still in repos [...] and they will switch back to Rhythmbox as well, so bye bye Mono [...] it was in the UDS video from Orlando at the moment [...] and they were just talking about it in the channel for that as well [...] I think it’s to save space really on the CD [...] and since Rythombox is good enough again now [...] they said it a little while ago in the UDS wrap up [..] and they said how they will get a certain amount of space back [...] and in the UDS channel someone was saying how that means: Tomboy won’t be there as well anymore.” █

    Sounds too good to be true. If this gets officially confirmed, I might actually use Ubuntu again on my netbook.

What Else is New

  1. Links 26/5/2020: SHIFT13mi GNU/Linux Tablet, Linux Kodachi 7.0 and Some Qt Releases

    Links for the day

  2. EPO Propaganda on Steroids (or on EPO)

    What EPO management is saying and what is actually happening

  3. Breton (EU) 'Joins' Team UPC to Help His Buddy Battistelli... Again

    As expected, Breton acts as little but an EPO tool, looking to prop up supremacy of patent litigation over science and innovation

  4. Removing Free/Libre Software as an Inadequate Response to Microsoft Windows (With Back Doors) Getting Compromised, Killing People

    GNU/Linux takes the blame (in a sense) for incidents that are purely the fault of Microsoft and its deficient software with deliberate back doors; it's believed that this boils down to opportunistic retaliation against those looking for a solution to the problem (or merely speaking about the problem)

  6. Under Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Lately, But We're Too Robust For Those

    Efforts to take Techrights offline have been ramped up lately; but it's not working and it hardly even distracts us from publishing

  7. The Art of Giving: Why Free Software Will Inevitably Survive Attacks Against It

    Societies that share and look after their peers/neighbours will always be better off than predatory societies, which breed exploitation, distrust, discord and eventually systemic collapse

  8. 'Journalism' in 2020: Far More Articles About What Computer Linus Torvalds Bought Than About Linux Releases

    Yesterday's (or late Sunday's) Linux announcement (RC7) is symptomatic of a broader issue we've long spoken about; it restricts people's ability to express an opinion, which can cloud any meritorious and substantial debate about technical matters journalists cannot grasp or comment on (it takes more effort and research)

  9. Links 25/5/2020: Wrapland Redone, DebConf20 Plans, Many More Games

    Links for the day

  10. Media Covers WSL Like People Actually Use This Trash (a Failed Distro Which Only Works With Windows)

    Lots of abundantly redundant puff pieces have appeared in paid-for (by Microsoft) media this past week covering WSL/2, but that's grossly disproportional to the people who care and actually use those types of things (because money talks, not technical substance)

  11. Working From Home on Patent Monopolies Would Lower Their Quality and Perceived Legitimacy

    The patent system wherein people grant monopolies from their sofas and bedrooms isn't helping the already-eroded perception/image of patent offices that mostly grant patents to massive multinationals (and far too many patents overall)

  12. The Attitude of António Campinos Toward Courts and Toward Justice Same as Benoît Battistelli's

    6 years down the road we're still dealing with unaccountable tyrants who laugh at the law, laugh at lawmakers and disregard law enforcers (like the Trump regime across the Atlantic)

  14. Asking Microsoft If It Loves Linux is Like Asking Google If It's Evil

    The media keeps bombarding us with lousy, weakly-sourced messages about Microsoft regretting its stance on “Open Source” and loving “Linux” (both are lies that are very easily debunked), so journalism has an existential problem and maybe too much dependence on ad money (a form of bribery) from “Big Tech” that does “clown computing” and “apps”

  15. Features Considered Harmful

    "But the benefits of Free software, free candy and new features are all meaningless, if the user isn't in control."

  16. Free, as in “App”

    "As everyday users, we need to be able to configure our applications, and this process must/needs to be made as easy and understandable as possible."

  17. Links 25/5/2020: Linux 5.7 RC7 and TeleIRC 2.0.0

    Links for the day

  18. Links 24/5/2020: TUXEDO Computers on AMD, Ardour 6.0 is Out

  19. Trust Microsoft With Everything Including Your Life

    A timely if not apt meme about the state of Windows-powered hospitals, which very often end up foreign-operated (taken over by crackers in another country)

  20. When the Response to Hospitals Being Systematically Cracked Through Microsoft Products Like Windows is... Blocking the Competition of Microsoft

    People keep dying because Microsoft Windows, poorly designed with NSA back doors in it, falls into the hands of malicious actors (sometimes overseas, sometimes using leaked tools of the NSA itself) and guess who takes the blame when hospitals grind to a halt due to this…

  22. Ode to the 'Orange One'

    Bush Senior and Junior, Hillary/Bill Clinton and now António Battistelli (or Benoît Campinos); are we dealing with monarchies/monarchs and pledges of allegiance or with public institutions beholden to the public, to be governed by the law?

  23. Home Working at the EPO: Your Corporate, Global Monopolies Will Be Rubber-stamped From Private Homes

    We’re expected to believe that EPO employees working under the noses of Microsoft (in another continent!) with kids running around will be able to be both productive and professional; staff already complains about working until midnight and beyond, without any conceivable separation between career and personal life

  24. To Understand Why “Inner Source” is a Cheap Corporate Ploy if Not a Free Software-Hostile 'Scam' Look Who's Behind It

    It's rather easy to see that the O'Reilly-connected and Bill Gates-connected leadership of InnerSource Commons (ISC) doesn't register this fake 'charity' to promote Software Freedom but to fight against it under the guise of "open" (openwashing)

  25. Microsoft: We Were Wrong About Open Source and That's Why We 'Liberate' Code... From 1983 (and We Won't Accept Code Changes, Either!)

    The tiresome openwashing efforts from Microsoft verge on the farcical, but the Microsoft-funded media plays along with it all regardless

  26. The Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court Book

    The Unified Patent Court (UPC) propaganda must be confronted; there's a book in the making about UPC lies and the anatomy of this legislative coup attempt by litigation fanatics (who profit from monopolies, patent trolls and so on)

  27. Links 23/5/2020: Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU21, Wine-Staging 5.9

    Links for the day

  28. Spillover: Team UPC Trying to Fill Up the Cup 'Half Empty'

    The European Patent Office's (EPO) corruption is mirrored in UPC corruption; the former hasn't yet seen its downfall due to this corruption and the latter is already up in flames, no matter how media sites (are paid to) spin it, giving false hope for the sake of lobbying by Team UPC

  29. The EPO Continues to Publicly Brag About Granting Illegal Patents to Fake 'Production' (It's Not Really Production But Abuse of the Granting Authority)

    Patents on life, nature and mathematics serve to highlight the degree of corruption embraced by EPO management, eager to fake ‘production’ in order to hoard money, which is then stolen and misused in other ways

  30. GNOME Settlement With Patent Troll Fails to Address/Tackle the Software Patent and Software Patents in General

    GNOME settles with the troll on terms that are superficially friendly towards Free software; however, more could be done to actually defuse matters on legal if not precedential grounds
