His Greek developer Chakra GNU / Linux Neophytos Kolokotronis announced the update of the operating system with the availability of many modern technologies in the main repositories of the operating system.
The Chakra GNU / Linux is a distribution that uses the latest KDE software. So OS users can from today have KDE Plasma 5.9.2 as their desktop environment, which is the next maintenance release of the Plasma 5.9 series.
In addition, the distribution update users will be able to update to the new KDE Applications 16.12.2 software suite as well as the KT Framework 5 add-ons for Qt5.26.0.
As part of today's update, users of the distribution will also be able to have a new kernel that has been upgraded to Linux kernel 4.5.7. We hope that the GNU / Linux Chakra developers will soon adopt the Linux 4.6 kernel.
The new updated distribution also includes some of the recent applications: ALSA 1.1.3, FFmpeg 2.8.11, Wine 2.2, GStreamer 1.10.3, Vim 8.0.0142, Mozilla Thunderbird 45.7.1, FileZilla 3.24.0, Bash 4.4.005 , Samba 4.5.3, Wireshark 2.2.4, LibreOffice 5.2.5, QEMU 2.8.0, GNU Screen 4.5.0, GNU nano 2.7.4, GDB 7.12, Gawk 4.1.4, GnuTLS 3.5.8, Gutenprint 5.2.12, JACK 0.125.0, GNU Make 4.2.1, MariaDB 10.1.21, MPlayer 37916, PostgreSQL 9.6.1, Python 2.7.13, PHP 7.0.15, SQLite 3.16.0, and GNU Texinfo.
To update, simply open your terminal, run the command "pacman -Syu", just like for the Arch Linux operating system.
According to the developer, if you experience a problem during installation (dark screen) you can change to tty3 with Ctrl + Alt + F3 and then back to the Plasma session with Ctrl + Alt + F7. If this does not work just wait patiently until installation is complete without shutting down your computer.
