Nit-picking, I know, and my appologies for it, but I read that this was important so I had to post it. Also, if you hover over the "Help" icon next to the Firefox launcher it says "Get help with Ubuntu".

Not too bothered about that last one, but is there anything we, as end-users, can do to change "Ubuntu" to "Shift" in the Sys Mon box?

Oh, and please don't laugh at my specs.....

It's not nit-picking at all, in my opinion. All of these things have to be dealt with for trademark reasons, as well a making the distro look more unified.

For a first release at switching from one base (Morphix) to another (Ubuntu) you are going to expect a few loose ends. Good to document them so they can be addressed.

Came across a way of changing all the info in Sys Mon by editing the file /etc/lsb-release, but apart from making the changes shown, I've no idea what effect this will have overall. From what I gather, this file gets used for updates (possibly dist-updates), but I've just done sudo apt-get update and it seemed OK, so I'll just wait and see....

Thanks for the fix..... we will try to catch all of the loose ends with this next release. It should be a barn burner!

I haven't got the Shift CD's here to try, but the same file exists in Kubuntu, and I think it's in Xubuntu (according to Google, anyway ;)). Still haven't found out what this file actually does, apart from it might have something to do with dist-updates. Perhaps the file gets checked against the repo for a newer release?

There's also a Ubuntu reference in /etc/issue... :rolleyes:

Mr Fish, we need someone like you to do things just like you do - research and bug test. Stay tuned, I'll be sending you a PM soon.

Good pick-up, Crimson. You read my mind! ;)

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
