Ubuntu Minimal 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur) Daily Builds
23.10 Minimal image changes and how to report any issues resulting from these changes
The Mantic (Ubuntu 23.10) images are undergoing some big changes prior to 23.10 release in October.
The main changes made in these latest, after 20230618, images are:
- Move to the linux-generic kernel from the linux-kvm kernel
- Move to using minimal-cloud seed - see https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/seeds/ubuntu.mantic/cloud-minimal
- No longer installing Recommends packages
This is during image build only and will not affect any subsequent package installs - No initramfs fallback for boot - only initramfsless boot
Mantic Minotaur (Ubuntu 23.10) is a devel release so this is the perfect time to be making these changes.
If you notice any unexpected changes or bugs in the minimal images please create a new bug @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images
