To get help with upgrading to a more current version, see the Upgrading section in the Xubuntu documentation. You can read more about the Minimal CD installation and download the appropriate ISO(s) from. Mac and Linux systems already include the Pcap API, so Npcap allows popular software such as Nmap and Wireshark to. It uses the text-based alternate installer, which is better for older hardware.ĭuring the installation, one of the options will be the package sets: select “Xubuntu Desktop” among them. Npcap allows for sending raw packets as well. If you absolutely must use a CD to install your system, and you’re able to download updates while doing an install, we recommend using the Minimal CD, which is tiny and easily fits on a CD. To learn more about the release, please refer to the release announcement, which has links to complete release notes as well as highlights of the improvements in the release. You may first check the PPA link for package version before doing following steps. The 22.10 release, codenamed Kinetic Kudu, is an interim release and has support for 9 months. Wireshark has a stable PPA with the latest packages for Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 17.10. When downloading the image from the mirrors, please select a mirror in a location close to you. If you don’t know how to use torrents or for any reason can’t, you can download the image from one of the mirrors.

If you know how to use torrents, it is highly recommended and preferred to use torrent downloads. The 22.04 release, codenamed Jammy Jellyfish, is a Long Term Support release and has support for 3 years. KMSAN was merged as part of Andrew Morton's "mm" patches.Latest LTS release: 22.04, Jammy Jellyfish

See the new documentation for more details on KMSAN in Linux 6.1. In any event if wanting to run the Kernel Memory Sanitizer to look for uninitialized value use witin the kernel, KMSAN can enabled with CONFIG_KMSAN and requires using the LLVM Clang 14 compiler or newer. While merged for Linux 6.1, the Kernel Memory Sanitizer documentation indicates that it isn't intended for production as it "drastically increases" the kernel memory footprint and has significant system performance implications. KMSAN relies on compiler instrumentation like the other sanitizers to provide this capability. KMSAN is focused on finding use of uninitialized values within the kernel code.

The Kernel Memory Sanitizer is now in mainline as a dynamic error detector. In addition to Linux 6.1 x86_64 defaulting to warning over W+X mappings and other security-minded improvements this merge window, another benefit of this next kernel is the mainlining of the Kernel Memory Sanitizer (KMSAN).
