Night Light in Cinnamon

The team is working on adding Night Light support in Cinnamon.

Night Light consists in reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen. It makes the color of your monitor warmer as you get closer to bed time to help reduce eyestrain and improve sleep quality.

In the past Linux Mint shipped with Redshift to provide this functionality. Redshift wasn’t integrated in the settings though, it only worked in Xorg and it was auto-configured by something called geoclue which is no longer functional.

The team is hoping to have this feature fully integrated into the Cinnamon desktop and working out of the box, both in Wayland and Xorg.

Clutter Dialogs

Work continues on migrating key Cinnamon dialogs to Clutter.

Here is the dialog which pops up when a keyring needs to be unlocked:

And here is the one to confirm display changes:

Donations via Stripe

Stripe was added as an alternative to PayPal on the donors page.

This was done to make it easier for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to donate via PayPal. More countries and more bank cards are supported by Stripe and no account registration is necessary.

Framework Laptops

We started working with Framework. We’re hoping this will lead towards a great partnership.

Framework promotes a concept which is quite admirable. They make high-performance laptops which are easy to upgrade, repair and customize.

They want to achieve full compatibility with Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop. That’s also very important to us because it means we can recommend this brand within our community without having to worry about compatibility issues.

Their laptops are packed with components we don’t have or technologies which we hadn’t really focused on yet. This will boost new areas of development for us.

The Laptop 13 they sent me just arrived today so I won’t be able to review it until the next blog post. Spoiler alert: I like it 🙂

When it comes to hardware I love it when a product feels special and/or of high quality. I’ve had many different computers in the past. The ones I enjoyed the most weren’t the most modern or the most powerful, they were the ones I grew attached to, either because they were very well built or because I loved something unique about them. I still work mostly on a Mintbox 3 and an old Macbook Pro Retina. I’ll be comparing this Laptop 13 to these two next month.

Hellotux Garments

Some of our branded clothes will soon be discontinued.

Hellotux can’t source the green Mint shirts anymore.

Some sizes are missing, some are reduced. We’ll also probably remove the old Mint logos eventually.

If you like the green shirts or the old logos don’t wait until they’re gone.

Visual improvements in Cinnamon

Within the team Joseph continues to work his magic. Bit by bit he’s improving the look and feel of the Cinnamon desktop.

The new default theme landed on the master branch. It’s much darker and contrasted than before. Objects are rounded and a gap was introduced between the applets and the panel.

The dialogs were redesigned. They’re nicely balanced and feature separated buttons.

When an application is frozen and no longer responds Cinnamon shows a “Force Quit” dialog. This used to be a Gtk window. It was rewritten in Clutter to look like the rest of Cinnamon:

The media-buttons OSD looks more modern and much cleaner than before:

and so does the Workspace OSD:

Joseph is also working on notifications, animations, the main menu, pkexec/logout dialogs, a new status applet… but I don’t want to show you too much yet. We’ll cover this in the news, little by little during the development cycle, as it gets finalized and becomes ready for inclusion in the next version of Cinnamon.

Aptkit

The transition towards Aptkit and Captain is now finished. Starting with Linux Mint 22.1, set to be released this December, none of our projects will depend on aptdaemon, synaptic, gdebi or apturl anymore.

Aptdaemon, mintcommon’s aptdaemon module and ubiquity will eventually be discontinued.

The transition towards Aptkit and Captain gives us the following benefits:

• No more translation issues. Everything is now fully translated.
• No more bugs/papercuts. We no longer depend on unmaintained components which are upstream from us.
• Redefined scope. Anything we didn’t need was removed, anything that was missing (purging packages, downgrading to specific packages etc..) was added.

This allowed us to completely refactor the code in the Update Manager and greatly simplify its architecture. It worked well but it had been written decades ago and some of the techniques and components it relied on weren’t future-proof. Its multithreading code was deprecated and hard to maintain. It depended on Synaptic and technology related to Gtk.Plug/Socket which couldn’t work in Wayland. It also handled multi-processing calls and serialization itself. All of this was simplified.

In the Software Sources tool, the downgrading of foreign packages was performed via a VTE (an embedded terminal). This is now handled by Aptkit directly, with a nice progress dialog.

Server upgrades

The repository servers were upgraded. They’re now able to serve packages at 10gbps, which is 10 times faster than before.

We no longer observe bottlenecks during large updates when packages such as Firefox or Chromium are updated concurrently.

Upgrade path

The upgrade between Mint 21.3 and 22 was broken last week due to package conflicts introduced upstream in Ubuntu 24.04 on samba and libreoffice.

When Debian unstable was frozen to make the Ubuntu 24.04 package base, Debian was performing a large transition towards new T64 packages. When the 24.04 release was delayed, it was to address the XZ backdoor (all packages had to be recompiled). The package base was also in really bad shape though. A week before it was due, we couldn’t even debootstrap it. Credits to Canonical, by the time 24.04 was released, everything was stable. The transition to T64 wasn’t finished though and so the path from 22.04 to 24.04 was delayed until 24.04.1.

This usually never happens. Post-release the 24.04 package base still needs to catch up with Debian to backport the rest of the T64 transition. Only then can the upgrade path be stable and open. This is really quite complex because the 24.04 base is frozen and stable.. but Debian unstable itself has moved on. The situation is being worked on and addressed upstream by Canonical. It’s getting better and better but regressions can pop in and break the upgrade path at any moment.

Canonical Pauses Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 Upgrade Path Due to Critical Bugs

Now, because the T64 situation was already a problem for the Mint 22 upgrade, it was addressed somehow in our upgrade tool. The 21.3 -> 22 upgrade is able to transition towards T64 packages even when the packaging doesn’t handle the transition. What it can’t do though is get passed actual dependency conflicts.

We’ve been re-testing the upgrade path 3 times since the last blog post. We’ve considered closing it. The situation with libreoffice and samba is now behind us. The upgrade path, as we speak, is functional.

As always and now more than ever though, I’d like to insist on performing system snapshots and data backups prior to any upgrade.

Default Cinnamon theme

Outside of Linux Mint, Cinnamon looks pretty ugly.

In our distribution the focus is on Mint-Y. The default Cinnamon theme is maintained for troubleshooting purposes and rarely gets attention from theme artists.

Ideally, it is the responsibility of the distributions to make things look good. In practice, many do not maintain their own themes, focus on other desktops or insist on using default settings.

To address this problem Cinnamon 6.4 will ship with a much improved default theme.

Maintaining better APT libraries and utilities

One of the big projects for Mint 22.1 is to review our APT dependencies to clean up, rationalize and modernize the tools and libraries we rely on.

APT isn’t just a command line utility. It’s a huge collection of tools and utilities. Think of aptitude, synaptic, gdebi, apturl.

It’s also a set of libraries such as aptdaemon or packagekit which allow many of the software applications we maintain to perform package management.

As you can see in the diagram below, many of our applications use these libraries: The MATE menu, the Cinnamon menu, the driver manager, software manager, software sources, update manager, welcome screen, reports manager, locale and input method configuration tools, backup tool…

Some of these APT tools and libraries were written more than a decade ago and are no longer maintained upstream. Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Debian have been patching them throughout the years so they still work, but their design, their translations, the features they provide are stuck in the past. Every Mint release is a reminder of this and a list of long-lasting paper cuts which we’re unable to address.

Because these utilities and libraries are very important to us we decided to simplify how we use them and to maintain them. Going forward we want perfect translations, no more paper cuts and if something we need is missing we’ll just implement it.

Gdebi and apturl were merged into a single utility application called Captain.

Aptdaemon and mintcommon-aptdaemon were merged into a library called Aptkit.

All the tools which previously used Aptdaemon, Synaptic or apturl will now use Aptkit and Captain.

The tools which use Packagekit don’t necessarily need to transition away from it. Packagekit is actively maintained. It doesn’t provide a set of Gtk3 widgets or translations like Aptkit does, but these tools don’t need them.

All in all, this is a lot of work and you as a user won’t really see much difference on your desktop. The paper cuts are gone though and if you find new ones, this time we’ll be able to fix them.

LMDE 5 EOL

LMDE 5 “Elsie” reached End Of Life and is no longer maintained.

The repositories will continue to work for a while but this release will no longer receive updates from us.
