== Specs ==
All are approved, and Jaunty goals decided upon. Desktop Experience team stuff
has landed right in time for FF, now in bug fixing mode.
== What was done engineering wise? ==
 * 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
Line 7: Line 13:
Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns:
 * gpm-and-device-kit-power: Ted might not have enough time to provide the new g-p-m in a PPA by FF; however, that shouldn't be covered by FF, since it's not in Ubuntu proper; Martin will coordinate with him if he doesn't have time for this
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

== RC Bugs ==
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: X doesn't start on i845G → debugging going on; seems that upstream isn't interested in working on EXA any more, and just works on UXA (which is still too unstable); Martin asked Bryce about possibility of switching to XAA ond a per-model basis
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/313027: fglrx not working in Jaunty → current plan is to move all fglrx users to -ati; latest word is that FOSS radeon driver 0.6.12 will work on r6xx and r7xx as well, thus we can cover almost all models
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632: tap-to-click and edge scrolling broken → reason might be that folks didn't have the -synaptics package installed; waiting for response from bug reporters
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: Kubuntu oem-setup crashes if using -nv driver: seems to be a small corner case; no progress this week
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199140: NM manages virtual interfaces → on Alexander's radar, problem is well understood and just needs time to fix it
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281348: toolbar problem w/ ubufox → Alex commited fix to bzr
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277309: session dialog missing suspend icon → need [[http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567958|upstream fix]] for the session dialog first, then we can easily fix the icon
 * Nothing specific
Line 19: Line 17:
== Planned Intrusive changes ==
 * Potential patch to mozzilla: make new tab behaviour consistent in Firefox (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/331618); waiting for response from Mozilla
 * updating clutter-gst from 0.8 to 1.0 for moblin compliance; 1.0 is not yet available upstream, but will be soon; it does not have reverse dependencies (except for perl and Python bindings, which will be updated along)

== Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored ==

under investigation:
 * Bug:870297 ''[lightdm logins not being logged in wtmp]'': Still not reproducible. Dropped ubuntu-12.04 milestone, this is SRUable.

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.

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:
 * Bug:968845 ''[bcm5974 touchpad doesn't work after S3 on MacBookAir]'': should be fixed in quantal, SRU still be discussed (the fix is not perfect but fixes some issues)
