Regolith 3.1 Release Notes #

Regolith 3.1 is a minor release focusing on Ubuntu 23.10 support and bug fixes.

Features #

  • Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) support
  • Debian Testing support for Wayland session
  • i3-next-workspace ported to Sway
  • regolith-control-center rebased from GNOME 45 (for supported disto releases)
  • Sway session promoted from alpha to beta status

Installation Instructions #

Follow the standard installation instructions, but substitute testing instead of release-3_0. For example, this is the apt line for Ubuntu Mantic:

echo deb "[arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/regolith-archive-keyring.gpg] \
https://regolith-desktop.org/testing-ubuntu-mantic-amd64 mantic main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/regolith.list

After apt upgrade is complete, verify that Regolith 3.1 is installed by:

$ cat /etc/regolith/version 
REGOLITH_VERSION=3.1

A reboot is required for the new version to load.
