Sculpt 25.10 Release Candidates

Genode and Sculpt OS

Hello,

I just uploaded the first release candidate of Sculpt 25.10 RC1 for PC under the following URLs. It’s also available via the Sculpt “System → Update” dialog in entry https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth from a running Sculpt installation.

Genodians,

I just updated my index with Sculpt 25.10 RC2 images for PC and Pinephone.

Happy Sculpting

Had some time to give the upgrade a go and so dug out my USB stick. Unfortunately it must have deteriorated in some way because now it will not boot.

I will wait for the actual release later this week. How are others finding the preview?

At which point does the boot get stuck? Do you see the Genode logo in GRUB?

Iirc, the logo does show but a bad sector is reported and it hangs. There is nothing important on this usb install so I am expecting to make a fresh one when the release comes out.

I tried out the new version on my notebook. Apart from a few occasional glitches and fine-tuning, it seems to work. I’m looking forward to trying out the new syntax when I get the chance.

The official release is out. You may still ask questions or report any issues here.

Great news. In light of the new HRD - or HID? - have publishers received a press release? Liam Proven of The Register seems to have a soft spot for interesting systems like Plan 9, Genode and Haiku.
