was a possibility that was chewed weeks ago, but has confirmed almost complete safety. Ryhtmbox will be the default music player in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin , replacing Banshee, unless something strange happens.

indicated in the news has been confirmed by Jason Warner, product manager of Ubuntu Desktop, and explains that the reasons for this change have been the stability, the starting time, the space it occupies in CD and support for GTK2, and ARM processors GTK3 .

Even so, all is not lost for Banshee, since although the version of Ubuntu 4.12 Alpha 1 will come with default Rythmbox Banshee will be retested regarding stability, support of GTK3 and support in Beta 1 ARM and will then be decided definitely which of the two runs.

Another novelty is the possible inclusion of Jupiter , an applet aimed mainly at netbooks and laptops that allows you to manage power saving modes to switch between maximum performance and maximum energy savings. Jupiter seems to give enough additional autonomy to those who are using it, and that has made it a candidate for inclusion in Precise Pangolin.

Another curious news that have occurred in the Ubuntu Developer Summit is the affecting the selection of default applications , and that always gives some surprises.

indicate one of the conference attendees on his blog, we evaluated the possibility of include a startup repair tool on the LiveCD , something interesting to many who could be one of the new Precise Pangolin.

also ruled out the inclusion of a video editor , which the audience “is not needed by default”, which stakeholders will have to access the repositories to install the application they like.

The debate was at that time the state of Banshee, which has been the default music player in Ubuntu 11.10, and may no longer be for Rythmbox in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. There are several reasons for this:

Banshee does not work on ARM

Banshee does not support GTK3

Remove

Banshee CD would remove Mono (good for saving space), which also would also remove the repository in main. This is especially interesting for the team responsible for security patches, which would have to offer those 5 years of support to Mono.

Rythmbox

integrate, they would have addressed issues as the integration with Ubuntu One store, the lens for Dash Music section, and also needs a version for the upstream.

not reached a conclusion on , but it looks like it could Rythmbox default Ubuntu LTS 12.04 … and this could Mono disappear, something that many will probably be glad for the end of the day deployment. NET PHP 5.x Linux .
