Shift Linux pre 0.6 KDE 4


Recommended Posts

We plan on releasing Shift Linux pre 0.6 KDE 4 to Neowin today. This is a milestone for our Shift Linux staff, as we are one of the first distros to try the newest version of KDE.... released on the 11th of January.

Shift Linux is a Live CD that has a Ubuntu base, with a new installer as well as our large variety of packages. We are releasing without branding, but it is a complete distro. Please feel free to test it and report any bugs in our Shift Linux subforum. Please remember that it is a test version.

Just in case you guys want to rant, this is just Kubuntu with the newest KDE4 packages, along with added and removed applications. It's goal was to basically see what can be done with KDE4, and a 481MB filesize for this rough version is very promising. Shift KDE 0.6 will come with KDE 4 installed. And, I think we were the third to release a KDE4 distro? Kubuntu and Suse beat us, but its great to know that Neowin got right up there with the big guys.

i tried your new shift linux based on kubuntu ...but all does'nt work really great ...for exemple ...i cannot use kopete with a jabber account it crash allways ...after seeing some buddies on the windows ...i don't know if its due to kde4.0 or the integration in shift linux ...

Thanks in advance ...

We will look into it, but it sounds like a problem with Kopete itself.

Thanks for trying it out, and if you find any more bugs, just let us know ;)

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
