The tasteless translations have since been scrubbed from existence, sane translations added, and an updated ISO readied for release.Īs well as the main Ubuntu 23.10 desktop ISO the ISOs for Ubuntu Budgie 23.10 and Ubuntu daily builds (those are, AFAIK, the only ones that use the new installer, with other flavours using Ubiquity or Calameres) have also been removed, and new versions prepared. The offensive translations appear(ed) in the new Ubuntu installer at specific points in the process, and only when run in a specific language. The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.Ī nefarious ne’er do well somehow slipped a slew of unsavoury sentences into the new Ubuntu release, completely under the radar, and they were shipped on the default ISO - so it’s been pulled from download.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) Ubuntu explains the situation: There is a reason for it - and no, it’s not because we all got the release date wrong! If you’re only just waking up/getting around to downloading Ubuntu 23.10 you’ll have noticed that you can’t actually download the main Ubuntu 23.10 desktop ISO from the Ubuntu website, despite the fact it has been released, and blogs like mine are telling you it’s out. Ubuntu 23.10 is once again available to download, and the issues mentioned in the rest of this article now resolved.
