Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Now Available for Beta Testing

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I’m excited to share that we now have a beta version of Ubuntu 22.04 available for testing. These new testing images are currently available for Linux VMs( the machine executor) and for the cimg/base Convenience Image.

Note: These images are in beta. They should not be used for production use. They will include backwards incompatible changes as we improve these beta images with customer feedback and upstream changes over the course of the next month.

How To Test Ubuntu 22.04

These new beta images can be used by the image name ubuntu-2204:edge or cimg/base:edge-22.04 depending on the executor. Please see the examples below for specifics.

Linux VM/machine executor

version: 2.1
workflows:
  main:
    jobs:
      - build
jobs:
  build:
    machine:
      image: ubuntu-2204:edge
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: echo "Do some things"

cimg/base Convenience Image

version: 2.1
workflows:
  main:
    jobs:
      - build

    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: echo "Do some things"

Update: April 12th

The beta image for the Linux VM has been updated.

  1. Docker Compose is now installed.
  2. There was a mismatch issue with Ruby and RVM that is now resolved.
  3. Several packages updated.

The next update will include Firefox as a `.deb. package, as it was in Ubuntu 20.04. In fact, we will literally be using that version of the package since Firefox is now a snap in 21.10 and 22.04.

Update: April 20th

  • Linux VM - Firefox is now installed
  • Convenience Image - Ubuntu 22.04 now shows up on the Developer Hub

Can you add rust to this Image

If you are suffering from an error in calling apt-get, kindly specify remote docker version (or image name) explicitly. The blog post below reports this (in Japanese)

Would it be possible to document this change more prominently? Your post of the closest I’ve come to finding an “official” fix :slight_smile:

Hi @jbuck,

I have created a support article to address this issue which you can find here at the following link:
