Veamos cómo podemos acceder al centro de control Cockpit en openSUSE desde otro equipo

Desde hace un tiempo estoy probando cockpit, el nuevo centro de control de openSUSE para gestionar el sistema. Aquí escribí cómo lo instalé:

• https://victorhckinthefreeworld.com/2026/04/22/probando-cockpit-el-sustituto-de-yast-en-opensuse-tumbleweed/

Uno de sus atractivos es el poder tener una interfaz gráfica para la gestión de servidores o equipos remotos directamente desde el navegador.

Cockpit de momento gestiona muchos aspectos del sistema en openSUSE, pero todavía no está preparado para sustituir por completo a YaST. Sin embargo algo atractivo es el poder acceder de manera remota mediante un navegador web al equipo en cuestión y gestionar mediante una interfaz gráfica ciertos aspectos del sistema remoto.

Veamos cómo poder acceder a cockpit en un equipo o servidor o servidor remoto.

Lo primero es habilitar en el cortafuegos el puerto 9090 por el que accedemos a cockpit. Vamos a habilitar el servicio desde el propio cockpit para ir familiarizándonos con la interfaz.

Habilitar el servicio cokpit en el cortafuegos

En el equipo accedemos a cockpit bien con el lanzador o en el navegador con localhost:9090, y nos registramos con acceso ilimitado.

Ahora en el menú de la izquierda seleccionamos el apartado Redes y ahora pulsamos sobre editar reglas y zonas. En la nueva pantalla pulsamos sobre el botón añadir servicios.

En la nueva pantalla en el cuadro de búsqueda introducimos el texto cockpit y lo seleccionamos y añadimos el servicio. También tenía abierto el puerto 22 de ssh y la clave de confianza. No sé si después es necesario reiniciar el equipo…

Esto también lo podemos hacer desde la terminal, tal como nos dice la documentación, ejecutando el siguiente comando:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent && sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Acceder en remoto

Ahora ya desde otro equipo en remoto podremos acceder al gestor cockpit introduciendo en el navegador la <dirección_IP>:9090. En mi caso, como está dentro de mi propia red local accedo mediante su IP local 192.168.1.42:9090 desde el navegador.

Al acceder me da una advertencia por el certificado de seguridad. Doy a avanzado y continuo aceptando el riesgo y ya tengo acceso a cockpit desde una máquina remota. Si el servidor estuviera fuera de nuestra red local estaría bien configurar un certificado válido para una conexión https.

Cuidado que teniendo acceso a cockpit en remoto hay acceso a muchas configuraciones. También tendremos acceso a un terminal dentro del propio cockpit, sin necesidad de acceder mediante ssh al equipo.

Cockpit facilita mucho la gestión remota de un sistema desde el navegador, algo especialmente útil para equipos en red local o pequeños servidores.

Eso sí, conviene no olvidar la seguridad: abrir el acceso implica exponer parte del sistema, por lo que es recomendable limitarlo a redes de confianza o reforzarlo con certificados y otras medidas adicionales.

Os presento un tema de iconos multicolor neon para tu PC, un estilo que destaca por ser de todo menos discretos ya que combinan un abanico de colores de tramos gruesos, en mi opinión, ideales como contraste de temas globales oscuros. Una opción más para la personalización de nuestro entorno de trabajo, uno de los valores de Plasma y de la Comunidad KDE.

Iconos multicolor neon para tu PC

Como he dicho muchas veces, me fascina la variedad que tenemos a nuestra disposición tanto de forma, estilo o colores. Tenemos iconos clásicos, minimalistas, lineales, 3D, que simulan otros sistemas operativos, imaginativos, que recuerdan a objetos cotidianos, etc.

Hoy os presento un pack de iconos muy especiales creados por reformat0928 que ha nombrado como BeautyBeam. Como decía en la introducción, se trata de un conjunto de iconos de multicolor de trazos gruesos estilo neon, que quedan de fábula con temas oscuros dado su alto contraste, como se puede ver en la imagen inferior.

En palabras de su creador:

Antes que nada, quiero dejar claro que las ilustraciones originales de los iconos no son mías. Mi trabajo consistió principalmente en recolorear, editar, combinar y adaptar los iconos para que quedaran más coloridos…
Todo el mérito corresponde a los artistas originales y a los creadores de los paquetes de iconos. Este paquete utiliza y hace referencia a iconos de numerosas fuentes, entre las que se incluyen BeautyLine, Candy Icons, Canonical Mono-Glyph, Gruvbox Plus, MingCute Icons, Papirus, Solar Icons, Sours y muchas otras.

Y como siempre digo, si os gusta el pack de iconos podéis pagarlo de muchas formas en la página en continua evolución de KDE Store, que estoy seguro que el desarrollador lo agradecer: puntúale positivamente, hazle un comentario en la página o realiza una donación. Ayudar al desarrollo del Software Libre también se hace simplemente dando las gracias, ayuda mucho más de lo que os podéis imaginar, recordad la campaña I love Free Software Day 2017 de la Free Software Foundation donde se nos recordaba esta forma tan sencilla de colaborar con el gran proyecto del Software Libre y que en el blog dedicamos un artículo.

Más información: KDE Store

La entrada Iconos multicolor neon para tu PC: BeatyBeam se publicó primero en KDE Blog.

There were several software package updates for openSUSE Tumbleweed during April and the later half of the month brought some urgency with Copy Fail, which is now safe for users of the rolling release and Slowroll for those who have done a zypper dup at the end of the month.

The information about affected flavors of openSUSE was covered in a blog by the security team.

April brought a major desktop release of GNOME 50 and there was a fourth Plasma 6.6 point release. PHP, GTK4 with the new native GtkSvg renderer, SQLite, iproute2, and nano were among some of the develop packages updated this month. The Linux kernel advances to 7.0.2, and Mesa progressed through 26.0.4 and 26.0.5 with raytracing fixes ahead of upcoming game releases. Security received heavy attention with WebKitGTK, Python, CUPS, Flatpak, sudo, and OpenEXR all receiving multiple Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures fixes.

As always, be sure to roll back using snapper if any issues arise.

For more details on the change logs for the month, visit the openSUSE Factory mailing list.

New Features and Enhancements

KDE Gear 26.04.0: This major release updates 129 packages from the 25.12.3 series across the core PIM suite (Akonadi, KMail, Kontact, KOrganizer), graphics tools (Gwenview, Okular), development tools (Kate, Kompare, Umbrello), and system utilities (Dolphin, Konsole, Kleopatra). Dolphin prevents re-entrant signal activation across multiple view states, and Ark prevents silent replacement of existing files by directory entries during extraction. Okular avoids processing HTML with QDomDocument and improves certificate selection, and kdegraphics-thumbnailers addresses multiple crashes for malformed files. Infrastructure-wide changes include CMake modernization, a port to QDoc documentation, and migration toward modern C++ patterns such as std::shared_ptr over QSharedPointer. The companion ktextaddons library jumps from 1.8.0 to 2.0.1.

KDE Frameworks 6.25.0: This release emphasizes code quality, memory safety, and developer experience. KIO reverts a problematic permissions-based readability check, restores proper FTP UTF-8 negotiation, fixes WebDAV copy/move headers, and resolves multiple memory leaks across file operations and preview jobs. KCodecs streamlines encoding detection with safer initialization, improved codec lookup performance, and removes obsolete code since Qt 6.8+ is required.Kirigami enhances component reliability by preventing dialog layer leaks and adds a configurable textFormat property to TitleSubtitle, while Breeze Icons expands the icon set with new status icons. KTextEditor improves document handling by using the first line as a fallback title and adding relevant MIME types to save dialogs.

GNOME 50 for developers: This release brings significant improvements to the development stack. Builder gains a new save delegate system for better draft handling, refined dark theme colors matching the Adwaita palette, and more integrated help documentation. Flatpak support now moves deleted files to the trash, the LSP client better handles delete notifications, and the build pipeline supports more flexible post-install commands. Mutter Devkit receives a major feature expansion including HiDPI and fractional scaling simulation, multi-monitor support within a single session, clipboard integration between host and Devkit, and resizable virtual displays with emulated monitor modes — reducing the need for physical multi-monitor test setups. GTK 4.22 introduces GtkSvg, a new native in-process SVG renderer integrated with the GTK Scene Graph that supports SVG animations, passes over 1,250 tests in the resvg test suite, and maintains 60fps+ performance for trusted system icons and application resources (untrusted SVGs should still use the sandboxed Glycin library). Libadwaita 1.9 introduces new sidebar widgets including AdwSidebar and AdwViewSwitcherSidebar (replacing GtkStackSidebar), automatic support for the system-wide reduced motion preference across most widgets, context menus on AdwAboutDialog link rows, and GTK_DEBUG=builder diagnostics for all standard widgets. Autoloaded style resources are deprecated in favor of standard CSS media queries.

GDM 50.0: The most significant change for this in the GNOME 50 release is the complete removal of X11 support for GDM’s own sessions, which now always run on Wayland. Features like XDMCP and the system-wide Xserver are gone, though launching other desktops’ X11 sessions via per-user X servers is still possible. Compiling GDM without Wayland support is no longer possible. With systemd v260+, remote desktop sessions and local background sessions are now granted GPU access, enabling accelerated graphics for remote sessions on distributions that restrict GPU device node permissions. service simplifies starting headless graphical sessions for RDP purposes. The gdm/gdm3` user is no longer needed since GDM now fully relies on dynamically allocated users. Wtmp/utmp/btmp records now contain more useful values, especially for Wayland and headless RDP sessions.

Plasma 6.6.4: KWin fixes blur flickering after wobbly windows, improves startup feedback icon clarity, resolves crashes with accessibility keyboards, and enhances pointer scaling and key repeat handling on Wayland. The Oxygen theme addresses pixelated buttons under fractional scaling, restores missing menu shadows, and adds a missing switch SVG. Usability improvements include better RTL support in Kicker, proper drag initiation only after pointer movement, and refined shortcut conflict prevention in keyboard settings. Plasma Keyboard hardens virtual input handling with UTF-8 length fixes and disables predictive text during capture. Other fixes improve Discover by correcting how it tracks the number of active transactions, Dr Konqi with more reliable crash debugging, and Spectacle with a workaround for an overlay issue introduced in Qt 6.11. Several system tray and menu rendering glitches across multiple applets are also resolved, resulting in a smoother and more resilient desktop experience.

w3m 0.5.6: This is a major update for the terminal web browser. New features include commands to scroll the current line to top/bottom, a change directory (CD) command, a vim-like smartcase search option, recognition of aria-label for buttons, gopher protocol support, and experimental session store and restore. The image display in the kitty terminal is fixed, and slow backward search in long lines is improved.

LibreOffice 26.2.2.2: This is a major version upgrade with completely new features, improvements, and bug fixes across Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base. Detailed release notes are available at The Document Foundation wiki. Bundled components are refreshed including PDFium updated from 7012 to 7471 and 2D Graphics Library Skia updated from milestone 136 to 142.

SDL3 3.4.2: This update adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_FORCE_SRGB_FRAMEBUFFER to control sRGB behavior for OpenGL and OpenGL ES contexts. A long startup time on Windows caused by non-compliant input devices was fixed, along with a divide-by-zero when using Nintendo Switch 2 controllers and improved GameCube adapter handling in PC mode. Support for the Razer Raiju V5 Pro is added.

cryptsetup 2.8.6: This update has several disk encryption fixes. The resumed device UUID is now verified against the UUID stored in metadata, and the LUKS2 reencryption lock name was corrected. FileVault (fvault2) metadata parsing is fixed, including reading from the correct image offset. The OpenSSL crypto backend works again when built with LibreSSL and allows up to 64 concurrent threads.

Mozilla Firefox 149.0.2: This update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, including integer overflow and memory safety bugs in Graphics: Text and Graphics: WebGPU components. The update also includes enterprise-related features such as AI-feature management, prevention of built-in VPN and IP protection, and correct application of browser homepage and start page policies. Other fixes include resolution of layout issues with graphics (SVG), crash prevention for security keys and WebAuthn features, and improved handling of web page printing and website error pages. Additionally, the build process is updated to be compatible with clang-based building on Leap, with the necessary libraries specified. [Linux]

PHP 8.5.5: This minor version bump from the 8.4 series brings numerous bug fixes across the core, DOM, Opcache, and OpenSSL modules. Notable fixes address JIT compiler arithmetic errors, memory leaks, and use-after-free vulnerabilities. The package now requires libcapstone as a dependency.

nano 9.0: This is a major version bump for the popular terminal text editor. The release improves horizontal scrolling, changes how macro recording is handled, and brings other usability refinements that build on the 8.x series.

iproute2 7.0: A major version bump for the Linux network configuration toolkit. New features include CAN XL support and DPLL mode setting, both of which extend networking and timing capabilities for newer hardware platforms.

iw 6.17: This wireless configuration tool sees a significant jump from 6.9. It adds support for WPA3 SAE association, EHT rate and bitrate handling for Wi-Fi 7, multi-radio RTS configuration, and endianness fixes across the wireless stack.

GIMP 3.2.4: This minor update to the GNU Image Manipulation Program continues the 3.2 series with bug fixes and incremental improvements following the 3.2.2 release.

xterm 407: New private modes for UTF-8 and character width reporting are introduced, and Unicode handling and window resizing functionality are improved.

gnome-remote-desktop 50.1: This minor update to the GNOME 50 release fixes a black-screen issue when using NVIDIA GPUs.

F2FS receives multiple fixes including a use-after-free in f2fs_compress_write_end_io() and f2fs_write_end_io(), a memory leak in f2fs_rename(), and improved sanity checks. FUSE fixes several issues including rejection of oversized dirents in page cache, aborting on fatal signals during sync init, and ensuring device file initialization before cloning. A TOCTOU race in net/packet on mmap’d vnet_hdr in tpacket_snd() is corrected, and crypto fixes address async decrypt skipping hash verification in krb5enc and failed PSP command handling in the CCP driver. The 7.0.1 version sees KVM SEV receive several hardening fixes including locking all vCPUs when synchronizing VMSAs for SNP launch finish, disallowing LAUNCH_FINISH if vCPUs are actively being created, and protecting sev_mem_enc_register_region() with proper locking. Multiple use-after-free bugs are resolved across subsystems including bcache (crash in cached_dev.sb_bio), ocfs2 (fault handling with VM_FAULT_RETRY), the em28xx media driver, blk-cgroup writeback, and ALSA 6fire on USB disconnect. The 6.19.11 update brings several BPF fixes including reset of register ID for BPF_END value tracking, constant blinding for PROBE_MEM32 stores, undefined behavior in interpreter sdiv/smod for INT_MIN, and unsound scalar forking in maybe_fork_scalars(). CXL receives multiple corrections including a use-after-free of parent_port in cxl_detach_ep() and a leak in region construction. NVMe-PCI now caps queue creation to used queues, and platform support is expanded with several HP Omen and Victus laptops, OneXPlayer handheld variants, and Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 keyboard support.

Mesa 26.0.4 & 26.0.5: The 26.0.4 out-of-schedule release combines bugfix updates and important raytracing fixes for an upcoming game. RADV corrects an invalid hitAttributeEXT value when using function-call RT pipelines, fixes a memory leak in radv_rt_nir_to_asm, and emits BOP events after every draw to work around a VRS bug on GFX12. RadeonSI fixes a missing ground texture and ANV (Intel) addresses flashing effects in Horizon Forbidden West. Nouveau fixes a segmentation fault in gm200_validate_sample_locations triggered by Firefox on GTX 1070 Ti, and NVK corrects barrier cache invalidation and viewport handling on Turing with FSR. The 26.0.5 follow-up is another bugfix release that refreshes the GL headers from libglvnd and disables Vulkan and Panfrost on armv6. Full release notes are available at the Mesa documentation site.

SQLite 3.53.0: A new Query Result Formatter library is introduced in this release for the popular embedded database, and ALTER TABLE is enhanced with additional capabilities. The jump from 3.51.3 also brings query planner refinements and incremental improvements that benefit any application linking against the system SQLite.

libxml2 2.15.3: A point release follow-up to the major 2.15 update. Multiple security fixes are included for type confusion, double-free, and use-after-free issues in the XML parser.

libpng16 1.6.57: A small but security-relevant point release that fixes a use-after-free in chunk setters tracked as CVE-2026-34757.

libjpeg-turbo 3.1.4.1: This update to the widely used JPEG codec includes multiple API hardening fixes and improved buffer handling, providing a more robust foundation for image-processing software across the system.

libarchive 3.8.7: A heap buffer overflow in CAB archive handling is fixed, along with a buffer overflow in the ISO9660 reader. As libarchive is used by package managers and archive tools across the distribution, this update is broadly relevant.

mozilla-nss 3.122.1: This release of the Network Security Services library brings 30+ bug fixes, including patches for multiple heap use-after-free, integer overflow, and ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities that affect TLS handling in Firefox, Thunderbird, and other consumers.

pipewire 1.6.4: This audio and video pipeline server resolves segmentation faults, improves JACK compatibility, and corrects regressions in the RAOP (AirPlay) module.

SSSD 2.13.0: The pam_sss_gss module can now read SIDs from the Kerberos ticket PAC and apply authentication indicators via the new pam_gssapi_indicators_apply option, supporting Active Directory’s Authentication Mechanism Assurance (AMA). Active Directory Foreign Security Principals (FSP) are now properly detected and ignored when reading nested group members. Support for the KDE Plasma Login Manager is added. New options include avoid_by_id_lookups for preferring name-based lookups, and interactive/interactive_prompt for customizing OAuth2 prompting behavior. Cache performance is optimized for large deployments.

mpc 1.4.1: This complex-number arithmetic library steps from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 and adds new functions including mpc_exp10, mpc_exp2, and mpc_log2. Sign handling for imaginary parts is improved and pkg-config generation is included.

leancrypto 1.7.2: This cryptographic library jumps from 1.6.0 and adds post-quantum primitives ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, and ML-KEM along with an X.509 fix tracked as CVE-2026-34610.

SELinux Policy 20260410: This update contains a wide range of policy refinements. Missing Nextcloud file contexts are added, the openSUSE /var/lib/php8 path and /srv/www/htdocs Apache DocumentRoot are properly labeled. Cloud-init is now allowed to domtrans into ssh-keygen, and accountsd gains proper D-Bus communication with systemd-homed along with corrected file context labeling for /usr/share/accountsservice. OpenSSH receives a policy adjustment allowing sshd-session to send a generic signal to sshd-auth. Polkit support is updated for its agent helper. Additional permissions are granted for staff and sysadm users, including reading PID1 process state, connecting to systemd-logind and lvm over Unix stream sockets, mounting /proc, and gaining sandboxing features. Virtualization policies gain several adjustments for virtqemud and virtnetworkd, and a new local_login_allow_accountutils_fallback_mode boolean is introduced. The snapper sdbootutil plugin is allowed to read kernel modules. The embedded container-selinux is updated to v2.247.0.

texinfo 7.3: The documentation format package adds new title-page commands, flexible node headings, and cross-reference features. texi2any gains major HTML speedups, optional C implementation, improved diagnostics, and defaults updates. HTML, Info, LaTeX, XML, and info tool receive enhancements and cleanups. The updated deprecated @clickstyle and removed old patches.

XZ Utils 5.8.3: This update fixes a buffer overflow in lzma_index_append() and an invalid memory access in xz when using --files and --files0 options. Arabic man page translations are added.

GTK4 4.22.2: The headline change is native SVG rendering via the new GtkSvg renderer, which drops the librsvg dependency entirely for icon and image rendering. The new renderer supports animations, state names, and SVG filters, with filters now operating in linear RGB by default. The GStreamer media backend now supports gapless looping with GStreamer 1.28, and gtk4-rendernode-tool gains a new filter command for node manipulation. Several drag-and-drop fixes are included, notably restoring the DropTarget::leave signal emission when a drop finishes. Vulkan handling is improved with fixes for SWAPCHAIN_MAINTENANCE checks, pending offset resets on Wayland, and invalid reads. Symbolic icon fallback rendering is corrected, dmabuf support now handles fewer fds than planes, and drop shadow rendering no longer darkens transparent textures. For Tumbleweed users, this brings major rendering architecture improvements and broad stability fixes to GTK4 applications.

webkitgtk3 and webkitgtk4 2.52.1: Numerous security vulnerabilities are patched across both releases. Touch scrolling for small movements is smoother, and scrollend events are now correctly emitted after scroll animations. Async scrolling is improved when the main thread is busy by rendering scrollbars from the scrolling thread. The GPU process is disabled by default in this cycle. A build option to disable USE_GSTREAMER is added for configurations without multimedia support.

Conclusion

April 2026 was a busy month for openSUSE Tumbleweed with two of the largest desktop releases of the year landing back to back: GNOME 50 and KDE Gear 26.04.0. GTK4 4.22 introduced the new native GtkSvg renderer and dropped the librsvg dependency for icon rendering, while LibreOffice 26.2 brought a fresh major office suite. Developers received major version bumps across PHP 8.5, SQLite 3.53, iproute2 7.0, nano 9.0, and the iw wireless tool. Security continued to be a heavy theme with WebKitGTK, CUPS, Python, Flatpak, sudo, and OpenEXR all receiving multiple CVE fixes alongside a steady cadence of cryptographic library hardening from mozilla-nss, libgcrypt, and leancrypto.

Cockpit es la aplicación web que viene en openSUSE a reemplazar al veterano YaST. Veamos cómo gestionar los repositorios o instalar/desinstalar software con esta nueva herramienta.

Mediante cockpit, ahora en openSUSE desde un navegador web o una aplicación propia podrás gestionar y controlar todo tu sistema. Cockpit apunta a sustituir parte del uso de YaST, especialmente en administración remota y tareas comunes y desde hace un tiempo lo estoy probando y me gusta. Así lo instalé:

• https://victorhckinthefreeworld.com/2026/04/22/probando-cockpit-el-sustituto-de-yast-en-opensuse-tumbleweed/

Cockpit al igual que YaST es un software modular, es decir, tendrás diferentes módulos que se encarguen de diferentes áreas de tu sistema. Algunos serán comunes e imprescindibles y otros serán opcionales dependiendo de lo que controlen.

Algo imprescindible (bueno, no tanto, pero sí muy importante) son sus módulos para gestionar los repositorios y para instalar o desinstalar paquetes de software. Vamos a echarles un vistazo.

Cockpit forma parte de la nueva dirección de openSUSE para la administración del sistema, junto con Agama como instalador o Myrlyn como gestor específico de paquetes. Aunque YaST sigue disponible, su desarrollo es más limitado y progresivamente se están adoptando herramientas más modernas y especializadas.

A largo plazo, Cockpit está llamado a cubrir gran parte del uso cotidiano que tradicionalmente se hacía con YaST, especialmente en entornos de servidor. Y para gestión remota de equipos. Podremos acceder via mediante el navegador conociendo la IP a la configuración del equipo remoto con una interfaz web.

Una vez instalado cockpit, accedemos bien mediante la aplicación o directamente en el navegador mediante la url localhost:9090. Accedemos con nuestra cuenta root y le damos en la esquina superior derecha acceso ilimitado si no lo hemos hecho antes.

En la parte izquierda tendremos todos los módulos instalados de cockpit. Bajo la sección de Herramientas encontramos paquetes y repositorios.

Gestión de paquetes mediante cockpit

En la parte superior encontramos un campo de búsqueda y a la derecha un par de botones con las opciones Desinstalar / Instalar.

En el cuadro de búsqueda podremos meter un texto y buscar cierto paquete en concreto.

Si está seleccionada la opción Desinstalar, nos mostrará todos los paquetes que tenemos en nuestro sistema y que podremos seleccionar para eliminar del equipo. O si tiene actualizaciones disponibles.

Si seleccionamos instalar, podremos buscar un paquete en concreto e instalarlo mediante cockpit. Si tiene dependencias se mostrarán, junto con el tamaño total de lo que va a instalar y una opción de instalar lo seleccionado o de cancelar la acción.

Según tengo entendido cockpit, no utiliza directamente libzypp, si no que se apoya en PakageKit: Cockpit → PackageKit → libzypp → repositorios (RPM). Yo personalmente preferiría que detrás estuviera directamente libzypp.

Para un control más profundo de paquetes de software (marcar como tabú algún paquete, etc) zypper o Myrlyn siguen siendo las herramientas que hay que utilizar. Pero para una gestión básica con cockpit es suficiente.

Gestión de repositorios mediante cockpit

Mediante cockpit podremos añadir nuevos repositorios, o editar (parte) los que ya tenemos configurados.

En la lista de repositorios, podremos hacer clic sobre los tres puntos verticales de la derecha de cada repositorio para editar sus características o eliminarlo.

Podremos editar todos sus campos, excepto la url. Para eso último de nuevo deberemos hacerlo mediante zypper o Myrlyn.

También podremos añadir nuevos repositorios desde la interfaz web de cockpit.

Desde cockpit tendremos un control con una interfaz más moderna y accesible en remoto desde un navegador web a otros equipos o servidores. Para una gestión básica de ciertos aspectos, será suficiente. Pero cabe señalar que hay ciertos aspectos que todavía no están accesibles y que se deberá hacer mediante otras herramientas.

Y quizás te estés preguntando ¿Cuándo usar Cockpit?

• Cockpit: Para una gestión rápida y remota (aunque también se puede utilizar en una máquina local)
• zypper: Para un control total, que requiere el uso de la terminal, lo que puede «asustar» a usuarios recién llegados.
• Myrlyn: Una alternativa gráfica moderna más familiar a lo ya conocido con YaST y que sigue ofreciento bastante control al usuario.

Hace unas semanas que fue lanzado KDE Gear 26.04, la primera gran actualización de este año de la rama de aplicaciones de la Comunidad. Seguimos el repaso con las Novedades de aplicaciones multimedia de KDE Gear 26.04,la compilación de las pequeñas mejoras para esta categoría de softeware.

Novedades de aplicaciones multimedia de KDE Gear 26.04, Edición «KDE a los 30»

Hace unas semanas ya realicé la presentación de KDE Gear 26.04, Edición «KDE a los 30», que los desarrolladores presentaban así:

¡KDE ya lleva 30 años de existencia! Muchos de los proyectos de KDE también son maduros y consolidados: Okular tiene 21 años, KOrganizer tiene 23 y Kdenlive tiene 24.
Otros proyectos son jóvenes y prometedores, como NeoChat, Merkuro y AudioTube, ya que nuestra comunidad genera constantemente nuevas ideas y las convierte en productos para que los disfrutes.
Hoy traemos nuevas versiones de muchas de estas aplicaciones, tanto antiguas como nuevas. Sigue leyendo y descubre todas las funciones y mejoras que pronto estarán disponibles en tu escritorio.

Para finalizar la serie vamos a repasar todas las pequeñas novedades que no tienen suficiente entidad para una entrada completa pero que merece la pena reseñar:

Arianna (Lector de libros electrónicos): Se ha solucionado un error que impedía guardar los ajustes de las fuentes (letras). Ahora tus preferencias de lectura se mantendrán guardadas correctamente cada vez que abras un libro.

AudioCD KIO (Lector de CD de música): Por defecto, ahora muestra primero el número de pista al listar las canciones de un CD, lo que facilita mucho el orden al pasar tu música al ordenador.

Audiotube (Reproductor de YouTube Music): Ahora recuerda la última página que abriste y muestra las portadas de los discos con mejor calidad (sin desenfoque), además de incluir una nueva sección para explorar música según tu estado de ánimo.

Elisa (Reproductor de música): Ahora el reproductor es más inteligente al gestionar las portadas de los discos, evitando que se vean borrosas en pantallas de alta resolución. También se ha mejorado la velocidad al escanear carpetas de música muy grandes.

Gwenview (Visor de imágenes): Se ha añadido soporte para ver más formatos de imagen modernos y se ha optimizado el modo de «Pantalla completa» para que la navegación entre fotos sea más fluida y rápida.

Y, recuerda, todo este software es gratuito y sin publicidad en todos los sentidos: no te cuesta ni un euro y no se cobra en en forma de datos personales. No obstante, si quieres ayudar a su desarrollo siempre puedes participar en su campaña de recaudación de fondos.

O AutoRound (https://github.com/intel/auto-round) é uma ferramenta de quantização para LLMs e VLMs desenvolvida pela Intel. A ideia central é reduzir o modelo para 2, 3, 4 ou 8 bits, mantendo boa precisão, principalmente em cenários de low-bit weight-only quantization (converte os pesos mas manter a inferência), como W4A16, W3A16 e W2A16. O próprio repositório descreve o AutoRound como um toolkit para LLMs/VLMs que usa signed gradient descent para obter alta acurácia em 2–4 bits com baixo custo de ajuste.

Como Intel Innovator, tenho a missão mostrar o compromisso sério da Intel neste vertical tecnológica. A tecnologia beneficia GPU NVIDIA, CPU e XPU

Em termos simples: ele não apenas “arredonda” os pesos para 4 bits como um método ingênuo faria. Ele aprende a melhor forma de arredondar os pesos e também ajusta os limites de clipping para reduzir o erro entre a saída do bloco original e a saída do bloco quantizado. O paper do SignRound (https://arxiv.org/html/2309.05516v3) explica que o método adiciona parâmetros treináveis para ajustar o rounding e dois parâmetros extras para ajustar o clipping dos pesos; depois usa reconstrução por bloco e otimização com SignSGD.

Como ele funciona

O fluxo é mais ou menos assim:

1. Você passa um modelo Hugging Face, por exemplo Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B, Llama, Mistral, etc.
2. Ele usa um dataset de calibração. Por padrão, usa NeelNanda/pile-10k, mas aceita datasets customizados, JSON local, lista de strings, input ids, concatenação de datasets e aplicação de chat template.
3. Para cada bloco/camada, ele compara a saída do modelo original com a saída do modelo quantizado.
4. Ele otimiza o rounding dos pesos e o range de clipping usando signed gradient descent.
5. No final, salva o modelo em um formato escolhido: auto_round, auto_gptq, auto_awq, gguf, llm_compressor, mlx, entre outros.

Como usar?

pip install auto-round
auto-round \
--model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B \
--scheme "W4A16" \
--format "auto_round" \
--output_dir ./qwen_autoround_w4a16

Para exportar para GGUF:

auto-round \
--model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B \
--format "gguf:q4_k_m" \
--output_dir ./qwen_gguf_q4_k_m

O repositório mostra instalação via pip install auto-round, suporte a CPU/GPU CUDA, Intel XPU e Gaudi/HPU, além de exemplos com Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B

O que significa W4A16, W3A16, W2A16

W4A16 significa:

O AutoRound documenta esquemas como W4A16, W8A16, W3A16, W2A16, mixed bits, GGUF, NVFP4, MXFP4, FP8 e outros.

Na prática, W4A16 costuma ser o ponto mais seguro: boa redução de memória com perda pequena. W2A16 é muito mais agressivo: pode reduzir muito mais o tamanho dos pesos, mas exige algoritmo melhor, calibração melhor e validação forte.

Diferença para GPTQ, AWQ, SmoothQuant, bitsandbytes e GGUF

GPTQ se baseia em quantização weight-only com informação aproximada de segunda ordem e mostrou bons resultados em 3/4 bits em modelos grandes. AWQ usa estatísticas de ativação para proteger canais salientes e evitar quantização mista ineficiente, sem backpropagation ou reconstrução. SmoothQuant é uma abordagem PTQ para W8A8, suavizando outliers de ativação por uma transformação matematicamente equivalente entre ativações e pesos. bitsandbytes fornece camadas quantizadas 8-bit/4-bit, otimizadores 8-bit, LLM.int8() e QLoRA com NF4 para reduzir uso de memória.

Vantagens do AutoRound

A grande vantagem é que ele tenta entregar mais qualidade em baixa precisão, principalmente em 2, 3, 4 e 8 bits, onde métodos simples como RTN geralmente degradam bastante. No paper original, os autores comparam com GPTQ, AWQ, HQQ, OmniQuant e RTN, e relatam ganhos maiores conforme os bits diminuem, especialmente em W2G128, com melhorias absolutas de acurácia média entre 6,91% e 33,22% em 11 tarefas zero-shot.

Outra vantagem é a compatibilidade de ecossistema: o AutoRound suporta exportação para auto_round, auto_gptq, auto_awq, gguf, llm_compressor e mlx, além de integração com Transformers, vLLM e SGLang.

Dicas:

# equilíbrio entre qualidade e custo
auto-round --model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B --scheme "W4A16"
# melhor qualidade, mais lento
auto-round-best --model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B --scheme "W4A16"
# mais rápido, com possível perda de acurácia
auto-round-light --model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B --scheme "W4A16"

A documentação recomenda auto-round como bom equilíbrio geral, auto-round-best para melhor acurácia — especialmente 2-bit — e auto-round-light para velocidade, mais indicado em 4-bit e modelos maiores que 3B.

O AutoRound não elimina a necessidade de benchmark real. Quantização muda o comportamento do modelo, e a perda pode aparecer em raciocínio, código, português, instruções longas ou domínios específicos. Para um modelo que você usa em produção, eu validaria pelo menos:

# exemplo conceitual
lm_eval \
--model hf \
--model_args pretrained=./qwen_autoround_w4a16 \
--tasks hellaswag,arc_challenge,mmlu,truthfulqa \
--batch_size auto

Também é importante entender que W4A16 quantiza principalmente os pesos, mantendo ativações em 16 bits. Isso reduz muito o tamanho do modelo, mas não resolve sozinho todos os gargalos, por exemplo KV-cache em contextos longos. O paper original deixa claro que o foco experimental era weight-only quantization em camadas lineares dos blocos transformer.

Outro ponto: alguns esquemas novos, como MXFP4/MXINT4/MXFP8, aparecem na documentação como recursos de pesquisa ou sem kernel real em certos casos; então o formato escolhido precisa casar com o runtime que você vai usar.

Minha leitura particular: AutoRound é uma das opções mais interessantes hoje para quantização low-bit de LLMs quando qualidade importa mais do que apenas velocidade de conversão. Para W4A16, eu testaria como alternativa séria a GPTQ/AWQ. Para W2A16, eu priorizaria AutoRound/SignRound, mas sempre com avaliação no seu conjunto de tarefas.

I have 30 years of documented history on the web and in my personal recordings. That defines very well who I am, what I do, how I see the world, and how people see me. I worked on that. Sometimes consciously, sometimes as a side effect of my job, my side projects, my community work. Now that AI agents make it easy to use this kind of material, I have a base to anchor them, to build on what I did before and accelerate what I do, still staying me.

If you are starting now, you won't have this body of material to anchor your agents. So do spend some time building this corpus of what is genuinely you. Don't let an AI generate what you are. Write yourself, publish, think through your thoughts, give presentations. Small things are fine. They will accumulate over time.

Of course, tools will shape part of your identity. I used to do my presentations with xfig, printed on overhead projector slides. This was painful, but it shaped quite a bit how I worked and how the result looked. So it is part of my identity. The technical constraints did influence how I spoke, how I presented. It also shaped what I presented, because there was a bias toward what I could show with the tools available to me.

This won't be different with AI. It will shape who you are. But be aware, and make sure that there is a signal from the human in there. It's ok if it's imperfect, if it's a bit weird. It's ok if it's different. But make sure it's yours.

Shape that signal. That's you. That's your identity.

En ocasiones, el Software Libre recibe impulsos que merecerían ser alabados. Hoy me complace compartir con vosotros que ha sido lanzado exeLeaning 4.0, una nueva versión que demuestra que este proyecto está más vivo que nunca y que tiene ante si un brillante futuro.
