This page keeps track of the current release status of the Desktop Team.
What was done engineering wise?
- Blueprint drafting and approval fully complete last Monday; work items for everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit.
- Unity (and related projects) tarmac/branch autolanding is now in effect. First actual tests are in place, although not a lot yet, and the Unity ones are currently failing.
Unity manual test plan started, making good progress. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests)
- Landed Apport client-side crash signature/duplicate detection.
- It has been decided to go with Rhythmbox as default music player now, and reevaluate the state of Banshee-GTK3 between alpha-3 and beta-1.
- Ported session-installer to GTK 3 and dropped gnome-codec-install, getting rid of some old libraries.
- Landed new Zeitgeist, now written in Vala instead of Python. Brings some nice speedups.
What's about to land that might impact the other teams?
- Nothing planned right now.
- After alpha-1 we'll switch to Rhythmbox and drop Tomboy/gbrainy from the CDs.
Dependencies on other teams, blocking items
- Nothing right now.

Entire cycle: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/canonical-desktop-team.html
Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored
under investigation:
851612 [Logging out from a FUS session does not reliably return to VT7]: Race condition, no progress at figuring out the cause yet
triaged/in progress:
857153 [Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings]: Problem is clear, but has a workaround
805136 [accounts window doesn't fit on screen and no scrollbar to show hidden fields]: No progress this week.
810721 [at-spi-registryd crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_client_get_default()]: Got fixed in at-spi2 (which is what we use now mostly); fix might be applicable to at-spi as well.
828623 [gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen working]: Only affects some systems, but great progress on debugging the cause this week.
790240 [at-spi needs demotion for precise]: Some packages demoted, one left to fix.
786952 [Wacom Bamboo Pen - Pressure too sensitive]: Kernel side should be fixed now in precise, leaving userspace driver fix.
712677 [Does not report crashes during "Install Ubuntu" installs]: No progress this week.
Patch available, needs testing/uploading:
fixed since last report:

Done:
- Blueprint drafting and approval almost complete (our target was today); work items are almost complete, and everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit.
- Fixed a couple of bugs in autopkgtest, it's now possible to use for our purposes. Converted the first two packages to DEP-8/autopkgtest for continuous QA integration: upower, apport; more to come. Discussed with Jean-Baptiste how to run these on data center QA machines.

- Cleanup of GNOME packages, we were able to coordinate with Debian, do a few updates there, and sync a lot.
- Landed client-side crash signature/duplicate detection in Apport trunk, and discussed integration into Cassandra server with Evan.
About to land:
- By next Monday we decide about Banshee vs. Rhythmbox. That particularly affects U1. But porting U1 to GTK3 is already unblocked, as we won't go with a GTK2 Banshee in precise.
Blockers:
- Waiting for IS to put Unity tarmac setup into production.
