Black Lab Linux Weekly Build 255 is here two weeks after the previous ISO snapshot because of some minor health problems the lead developer had last week. Therefore, it attempts to fix almost 160 issues that users reported since then, especially some KDE specific bugs. Among the KDE improvements, we can mention that the application menu will now retract when pressed in live mode, and the networkmanager applet won’t disappear after long periods of use. The new build also comes with enhancements for the Intel i915 driver so that the i915 module will no longer get removed during remastering.
