I-Ubuntu devs iqala ukuxazulula izinkinga zephakheji ye-Firefox snap

Muva nje isikhangiso se-canonical nge-blog post esiqale ukubhekana nezinkinga zokusebenza ngephakheji yeFirefox Snap enikezwe ngokuzenzakalelayo ku-Ubuntu 22.04 esikhundleni sephakheji elijwayelekile le-deb.

Okusemqoka Ukungeneliseki komsebenzisi kungenxa yokwethulwa kancane kweFirefox. Isibonelo, kukhompuyutha ephathekayo ye-Dell XPS 13, ukwethulwa kokuqala kweFirefox ngemuva kokufakwa kuthatha imizuzwana engu-7.6, kukhompyutha ephathekayo ye-Thinkpad X240 kuthatha imizuzwana engu-15, futhi ebhodini le-Raspberry Pi 400 kuthatha imizuzwana engu-38. Ukuqalisa kabusha kuqeda kumasekhondi angu-0,86, 1,39, kanye no-8,11, ngokulandelanayo.

I-Ubuntu Desktop ihlose ukunikeza uhlelo lokusebenza lomthombo ovulekile, olutholakala kuwo wonke umuntu, olusebenzela lokho abakudingayo. Ngo-Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, sikholwa ukuthi siseduze kakhulu kunangaphambili ekufinyeleleni lowo mgomo. Kodwa-ke, njengenjwayelo, kusenezindawo ezimbalwa esifuna ukuzithuthukisa ukuze silethe ulwazi olunzulu ngomsebenzisi olusezingeni eliphezulu. Enye yalezo zindawo isiphequluli sethu esizenzakalelayo, iFirefox, esiphume ebhokisini ngo-Ubuntu 21.10.

Ukuze ngiqonde lesi sinqumo, ngifuna ukugxila engxenyeni ethi 'iyasebenza nje' yesitatimende sami sokuvula. I-plugin yeFirefox inikezela ngenani lezinzuzo kubasebenzisi bansuku zonke be-Ubuntu, kanye nohlu lokunye ukusatshalaliswa kweLinux. Ithuthukisa ukuphepha, inikeza ukuhambisana phakathi kwezinguqulo, futhi ifinyeza isikhathi esisithathayo ukuze izithuthukisi ze-Mozilla zifinyelele kubasebenzisi.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlaziya inkinga, Izizathu ezi-4 eziyinhloko zokuqalisa kancane zikhonjiwe, isixazululo sayo sizonakwa kakhulu:

• Ukuphakama okuphezulu lapho usesha amafayela ngaphakathi kwesithombe esicindezelwe se-squashfs, esibonakala ikakhulukazi kumasistimu anamandla aphansi. Kuhlelelwe ukuxazulula inkinga ngokuhlanganisa okuqukethwe ukuze kuncishiswe ukunyakaza okusesithombeni ngesikhathi sokuqalisa.
• Ku-Raspberry Pi namasistimu ane-AMD GPUs, ukubambezeleka okude kwahlotshaniswa nokwehluleka ukuthola umshayeli wezithombe kanye nenye indlela yokusebenzisa ukunikezwa kwesofthiwe ngokuhlanganiswa kwe-shader okunensa kakhulu. Isiqeshana sokuxazulula inkinga sesivele sengeziwe ku-snapd.
• Kuchithwe isikhathi esiningi kukopishwa ama-plugin ahlanganiswe kunkomba yomsebenzisi. Kwakukhona amaphekhi ezilimi angu-98 akhelwe kuphakethe elisheshayo, wonke akopishwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiluphi ulimi olukhethiwe.
• Kuphinde kwaba khona ukubambezeleka ngenxa yokunquma wonke amafonti atholakalayo, izingqikithi zesithonjana, nezilungiselelo zefonti.

Isebenzisa iFirefox kusuka kuphakheji ye-snap iphinde yabona izinkinga zokusebenza ngezikhathi ezithile ngesikhathi sokusebenza, kodwa abathuthukisi be-Ubuntu sebevele bazilungisele izindlela zokuthuthukisa ukusebenza.

Isibonelo, Kusukela kuFirefox 100.0, xhumanisa ukulungiselelwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi (LTO) kanye nokwenza ngcono okusekelwe kukhodi (i-PGO) zinikwe amandla ekwakheni. Ukuze kubhekwane nezinkinga zemiyalezo phakathi kweFirefox nezinhlelo ezingaphansi zangaphandle, ingosi entsha yedeskithophu ye-XDG isilungisiwe futhi nokusekelwa kokufakwa kuFirefox kuyabuyekezwa.

Izizathu zokuphromotha ifomethi ye-snap okweziphequluli kuyisifiso sokwenza lula ukugcinwa nokuhlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezinguqulo ezahlukene ze-Ubuntu: Iphakheji ye-deb idinga ukunakekelwa okuhlukile kwawo wonke amagatsha e-Ubuntu asekelwe futhi ngokufanelekile, ukuhlanganiswa nokuhlolwa kucabangela izinguqulo zesistimu ehlukene, izingxenye, kanye nephakheji ye-snap kungakhiwa ngokushesha kuwo wonke amagatsha e-Ubuntu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, abasebenzi beMozilla bagcina iphakethe le-Firefox snap elinikezwa ku-Ubuntu, okungukuthi, lakhiwe kuqala ngaphandle kwabaxhumanisi. Ukusatshalaliswa okufinyelelwe kuphinde kwasheshisa ukulethwa kwezinguqulo ezintsha zesiphequluli kubasebenzisi baka-Ubuntu futhi kwavumela iFirefox ukuthi isebenze endaweni ecezile edalwe ngomshini we-AppArmor ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokuvikela lonke uhlelo ekusebenziseni ubungozi esipheqululini.

Okokugcina Uma unesifiso sokwazi okwengeziwe ngakho, ungabheka imininingwane kufayela le- isixhumanisi esilandelayo.
