Running Graphical Applications in Incus Containers

I didn't know how easy it is to display the graphical console of a virtual machine until I tried recently.

$ sudo apt install virt-viewer
$ incus launch images:debian/trixie test --vm
$ incus console test --type=vga

That's it.

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope version 325. This version includes the following changes:

[ Chris Lamb ]
* Fix tests to work with zipdetails 4.0008. (Closes: #1141359)
* Downgrade debhelper compatibility level to 13 for now.
* Update copyright years.

Yay! Finally it’s that time of year — DebCamp is underway, and soon it will be time for DebConf! 🎉🥳

As it is by now tradition, it’s my task to coordinate the DebConf26 keysigning party. And, as usual, I have set up the list of DebConf26 keysigning maps for everybody involved.

So, if you are taking part of DebConf, make sure to:

• Find yourself in the keysigning map. Are you a part of the listing?

  • If you are not there, log in to the DebConf26 management system and edit the Personal Information section of your profile. Make sure you submit your OpenPGP key fingerprint.

  • Make sure your key is available in the keyserver network. They should basically be equivalent and interoperate, but in any case — my scripts will try to find your key at pgpkeys.eu, keys.openpgp.org, keyserver.computer42.org, keyserver.ubuntu.com, keyring.debian.org, pgp.surf.nl, pgp.pm, pgp.mit.edu, the.earth.li.

• Make sure your name is readable and matches what you want others to sign. If it does not, edit your key and upload it now!

• Remember that, as announced, the deadline for the final list is on Thursday, 2026.07.16, 09:00 GMT-3 (Argentinian time).
