Congratulations to Canonical and Ubuntu Community for the release of Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka yesterday Thursday, 9 October 2025! This is the third interim release between last LTS, 24.04 Noble Numbat (NN), and next LTS, designated 26.04 Resolute Raccoon (RR). We presented here a compilation of all download links including the Official Flavors, mirrors, and torrents. Let's celebrate together, and download and run our computer, laptop and server with Ubuntu.
This tutorial is inspired by errors and fixes we encountered when testing openSUSE Leap 16 yesterday. The problem is a kernel panic at boot time, so we cannot run it the same way we usually run other GNU/Linux operating systems up to today. After looking up and re-reading our old articles, we found out a solution. We hope you can run Leap 16 on a virtual machine quickly and easily with this. Now let's start reading and practicing!

FoxReplace is a Firefox addon that is able to replace text in a web page, in both editing and reading mode, with or without regular expression (regex), both manually and automatically. We use it as a complement to Find and Replace which we reviewed last month because among both, only FoxReplace can do text replacing on Blogspot post editor. We need FoxReplace more because as you might have noticed already, this site --The Ubuntu Buzz-- is based on Blogspot. We hope this tutorial will help all other professional authors. Now let's start exercising like always!

Elisa is Kubuntu default audio player. In Kubuntu history, Elisa replaces the former players namely Cantata and Amarok. Elisa is a part of KDE Applications and well integrated to the KDE Plasma Desktop. Speaking about its appearance, its logo represents a black-green tape cassette and its user interface reminds us to the old three-columns style Amarok. Speaking about its technical aspects, it is written in C++ with Qt Framework, just like any standard Kubuntu application, developed in public by the KDE community. Just like what we have discussed at the previous episode, Dolphin File Manager, we will also explain Elisa in details with screenshots and further references. We hope this helps every Kubuntu users. Now let's start reading!
