Updating the kernel (5.4.134 und 5.10.52) as a result of attack scenario via normal user privileges (CVE-2021-33909). The second vulnerability (CVE-2021-33910) does not affect AVMultimedia (as well as Devuan), since it only affects systems running SystemD.

Integration WLAN driver for D-Link DWA-182 Rev. D (kernel 5.10.x).

There is a new version for AVMultimedia with support for Apple file system, more information you can get here:

The same blog has a comparison of AVMultimedia to the Apple M1 (Mac Mini 2020). Conclusion: the M1 chip is not bad, but it cannot currently hold a candle to a fast Ryzen CPU (mobile or not).

One thing must be added here, however. Many Linux distributions are quite cumbersome compared to the Apple operating system. And even three years after the launch of AVMultimedia, I sometimes have the feeling that a simple Linux desktop like AVMultimedia unfortunately gets little attention. It still seems to me that Linux desktops are just not simple enough even in 2021. Therefore I invite all interested people to test AVMultimedia, because a Linux desktop in 2021 can't be simpler and yes, AVMultimedia doesn't need to shy away from a comparison to AppleOS. Not at all in terms of performance, and not in terms of simplicity either.

Happy New Year. The new version brings MediathekView the update to 13.7.0, and yes there were again small bugs at MP3toCD. Have fun!

Update to kernel 5.9.11, added multi-touch capability to touch screens and fixed bug Asus T101HA (reference device at AVMultimedia) after startup (right mouse button on right side of screen did not work),

Upgrade from the "outdated" Java 8 to version 11, fix small bugs in MP3toCD, integration of TV-Browser (only for aVMultimedia.iso, browsing the TV offers on the desktop).

If you work with avmultimini.iso at the beginning, you can download the file opt.os and copy it to /home/data. Afterwards, restart the program, the extended apps from AVMultimedia are then also available in the mini-version.

With AVMultimedia 2020/XI, the programs JDownloader, MediathekView and LosslessCut are now available for convenient local processing of multimedia files. Enjoy!

Added mate-power-manager to achieve better brightness control when using notebooks.

AVMultimedia with completely new base (kernel 5.8.16 and 5.4.x parallel).

Some days ago I bought a new Ultrabook with a fast Ryzen 7 mobile processor (4800U). The device has after all 8 cores and 16 threads. Strictly speaking it is a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 - 14ARE05 (16 GByte RAM).

Unfortunately the existing AVMultimedia version did not work with it. Once there were no updated UEFI drivers, but there are more at the "Renoir"-Graphick Because of this arte was no official support for the kernel 5.4, also there were no current firmware drivers for the Lenovo device.

Over the weekend I integrated kernel 5.6.18 into AVMultimedia parallel to the existing version 5.4.32. All imaginable drivers were activated in the kernel, as well as the complete firmware archive from kernel.org.

So AVMultimedia now runs on much more computers than before. Also new are all possible power saving options. With the new Levono device I could measure a standby time of over 30 hours (!).

Since there is now much more firmware and two kernels (more could be added at any time) available in parallel, the ISO files were about 250 MByte larger.

Nevertheless I thought the update makes a lot of sense. Finally I can edit and publish (my) 4K videos on the road with open source and mobile without any problems.

Small side notes, a current example can be found here: http://azurgo.ch/english (German [dialect] with English subtitles). By the way, the Vega graphics card is powerful enough to run 4K almost without jerking in preview mode (tested with Shotcut). Have fun.

Ungoogled Chromium now contains the open source ad blocker uBlock Origin.
