== Specs == Most are approved and their implementation underway; exceptions: * kubuntu-jaunty-kde-packaging [drafting]: Waiting for KDE community decision about default IRC client * jaunty-desktop-network-changing [drafting]: This is mainly an umbrella for a list of bugs; Alexander filed all bugs and will summarize them in the blueprint, then it will be approved; many issues are already fixed in Jaunty |
== What was done engineering wise? == * Ongoing work on hybrid graphics support * X.org 1.12 is now available in ubuntu-x-swat/x-stagin * Continued on SRUs for precise * Updated GNOME a11y stack to latest unstable release * Uploaded PulseAudio 2.0 to quantal * The next SRU round for the unity stack is being prepared * Libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU has been uploaded and is waiting for SRU team review * The work on the system compositor advanced enough to start the lightdm work * The work for the ui redesign of the third party drivers started |

== RC Bugs == * https://launchpad.net/bugs/321311: screensaver won't unlock: Seb suspects an IM issue, will follow up in the bug; for now, this doesn't really deserve "critical" IMHO * https://launchpad.net/bugs/308397: ubufox breaks useragent stats: not really important, since we are being counted; "wontfix"ed stable task, taken off the list of alpha-4 blockers, and fixed in bzr already * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312536: nss shouldn't honor MD5 hash signatures -> waiting for upstream fix, security update issue, not really a release blocker, won't land in time for a4 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/310999: nss shouldn't honor comodo CA? -> still waiting on upstream decision, security update issue, not really a release blocker, won't land in time for a4 * known X regressions: * https://launchpad.net/bugs/264462: Bryce wrote debugging recipe into the wiki, waiting for reporter to provide debugging info * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: was believed fixed with dri2, but apparently not so; debugging going on (needs cofirmation that they were actually using dri2 in last test) * https://launchpad.net/bugs/308410: Blocked waiting on nVidia's driver release to match new X ABI (closed-source drivers); jockey doesn't currently offer them, for the time being * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312677: confirmed fixed * https://launchpad.net/bugs/287470: nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 upgrade failures, fixed in intrepid-updates * https://launchpad.net/bugs/284408: fglrx counterpart to 287470, blocked on AMD to provide a build against current X server; disabled in Jockey for now; ati should work for almost all users now, though * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: OEM mode failing for Kubuntu: still untriaged; pinged Riddell, he'll look at it * https://launchpad.net/bugs/314263: seems this is fixed for calling as real user, but still an issue with calling through root->su/sudo (i. e. what apport does for system crashes); Martin provided reproducer in the upstream bug |
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? == * GTK 3.5 is ready for upload (will likely be uploaded on monday) * the "one compiz source" compiz version should be uploaded next week * xorg-server 1.12 should be iploaded next week |
Line 24: | Line 19: |
== Planned Intrusive changes == * GNOME 2.59.90 is due next week; if we don't have time to push it in, due to sprint and alpha-4 freeze, we'll skip that and upload the next microversion the week after * Martin plans to update our patches for langpack support for .desktop files to the improved patches in OpenSUSE; making them fully "active" will require rebuilds of all packages, thus doing that right before a GNOME point release is a great time; it does not cause major problems if the rebuilds don't happen quickly, though. |
== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) == * No specific list yet for quantal == Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns? == * Unity work in quantal is blocked on the gcc 4.7,libsigc,stl issues discussed on ubuntu-devel: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035310.html == Blueprints == https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+specs?searchtext=desktop-q- Burndown and spec completion levels: * For alpha-1 milestone: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/canonical-desktop-team-quantal-alpha-2 * Entire cycle: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/canonical-desktop-team.html <<Anchor(rcbugs)>> == Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored == under investigation: triaged/in progress: * Bug:932598 ''[Full hard drive causes xorg and lightdm to fail to load]'': Fixed mountall to create tmpfs /tmp on foll disk, as earlier Ubuntu releases used to do. lightdm still needs a fix. * Bug:870297 ''[lightdm logins not being logged in wtmp]'': there is a merge request which went through a first review round Fix committed, but not uploaded yet: * Bug:872701 ''[Keyboard layout doesn't change in screensaver lock dialog]'': there is a fix upstream, should be included in the next gtk upload Fixed since last report: <<Anchor(relnotes)>> == Cumulative Desktop Release Notes == = Archive of previous weekly summaries = === 2012-06-08 === Done: * firefox and thunderbird 13 have been updated for all supported ubuntu series, work started for the next versions in quantal * Libreoffice 3.6.0-beta1 is getting ready for quantal (in a ppa for the moment) * Update Manager got a slightly new look, more to come in the future * GNOME 3.5 updates in quantal * The team continued on merges and python3 porting * The system compositor work is seeing some good progresses * Unity build issues on quantal are being investigate (the build issue have fixes available but unity,nux segfaults when building with the new gcc, that's being investigated) * Some SRUs for precise === 2012-06-01 === Done: * Specs writing is done * Continued on SRUs for precise * Good progresses on the third party drivers installation spec * New firefox (13) and thunderbird are ready for the coming release * Got firefox to build with the quantal toolchain * Libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU is ready for upload * Work on xorg for lts point release updates continued * compiz got refactored to be only one source rather than five, the packaging got updated and the new version is finally building === 2012-05-25 === Done: * Catchup after UDS * Specs writing * Started quantal work, merges, some updates * Some SRUs for precise |
