Canonical have announced the release of Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo)

 Update: This work is superseded ... see 'ISOs' under 'Useful posts'.


Canonical have announced the latest release of Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo).

I’ve respun the desktop ISO using my ‘isorespin.sh‘ script and created ISOs suitable for Intel Atom and Intel Apollo Lake devices:

Atom (-i ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso --atom)
Apollo (-i ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso --apollo)



Also announced are the official 21.04 flavours of Ubuntu including Lubuntu which I've also respun to created an ISO suitable for Intel Atom devices:

Atom (-i lubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso --atom)


Downloading Note

After downloading an ISO file it is recommended to test that the file is correct and safe to use by verifying the integrity of the downloaded file. An error during the download could result in a corrupted file and trigger random issues during the usage of the ISO.

The program 'md5sum' is designed to verify data integrity using the MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) 128-bit cryptographic hash. The MD5 calculation gives a checksum (called a hash value), which must equal the MD5 value of a correct ISO.

First open a terminal and go to the correct directory to check a downloaded ISO. Then run the command 'md5sum <ISO>' for example:

md5sum linuxium-atom-ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso

'md5sum' should then print out a single line after calculating the hash:

2b128897a29f7afda3651b7e89c70970 linuxium-atom-ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso

Compare the hash (the alphanumeric string on left) from your output with the corresponding hash below. If both hashes match exactly then the downloaded file is almost certainly intact. However if the hashes do not match then there was a problem with the download and you should download the file again.

Can you try 'intel_idle.max_cstate=1' (see Kernel freezes under https://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2017/06/customizing-ubuntu-isos-documentation.html)

Minisforum told me 'traffic of your website cannot meet our requirements' and they are not interested in my reviews and support of their products. I suggest you contact them directly for help.
