Known issues

A plain list of what Nubo OS does not do yet, what is untested and what surprises people, taken from the project repository.

Nubo OS is a beta. The items below are not built, untested or surprising. If you find something that is not listed, write to support@nubo.email.

What is not built yet?

Nubo Drive, Nubo Backup, a migration app, Nubo Pro, a Nubo Store with its own login, translations, published benchmarks, a supported private mirror of the archive, and release upgrades to a later Nubo OS release.

What is untested or early access?

  • The desktop installer image is not built by the release system yet, and the arm64 desktop image is untested on real hardware.
  • Server images are built for all four editions and both processors but have not been tested on real hardware.
  • Cloud, VM and Raspberry Pi images have scripts but are marked untested.
  • Sign-in with a Nubo account at the login screen has not been approved end to end with a real account. It needs a network at first boot and retries each boot. The first account to sign in owns the machine.
  • The “Nubo” provider in GNOME Online Accounts is a preview, tested only against a test server. It supports one password only, so an account with two-factor authentication needs an app password.

What surprises people?

  • snapd stays on the desktop because the account sign-in broker is a snap.
  • lsb_release still says Ubuntu.
  • The installer asks an Ubuntu service for your time zone.
  • Opting out of Nubo Cumulus does not restore Ubuntu’s source file on a machine that already switched.
  • Running nubo-server-firewall again deletes your own firewall rules.
  • Password login over SSH stays on until you install an SSH key.
  • Automatic reboots are off.
  • The Nubo archive key expires on 1 October 2031.
  • One boot-menu entry still reads “Ubuntu”; it is hidden on a normal start.
  • The Nubo OS package version and the release tag do not always match; check your installed version.
