=== Colin Watson === * GRUB: * Finally nailed #430141 (Vista is not showing up in grub2); turned out to be a ubiquity bug. * Show the boot menu if the previous boot (into Ubuntu) failed. * Don't emit memtest86+ menu items if /boot is on a loop-mounted device, e.g. Wubi (#435153). * Installer: * Fixed base-installer #413135 again (Installer needs way to install PAE kernel on i386 9.10 DVD). * Turned usplash on for the live CD (#434980). * Stop oem-config running all the time with new Upstart jobs (#432180). * Fix a messy file-copy-blacklisting bug that broke boot loader OS detection in ubiquity in some very strange ways (#436613). * Reorganise clock handling, in a further attempt to fix the class of wrong-filesystem-timestamp bugs exemplified by #431786. * Fixed shell provision on live CD VTs (#434769). * Fixed tasksel regression #438546 (task list includes blank names). * Merged: partman-partitioning, base-installer (#435376) * Eucalyptus: * tasksel update for new UEC task. * Lots of fixes to installer integration (better error handling, user-setup/encrypt-home carry-over, euca_conf --discover-nodes fixes, IPv6 problems with euca_find_cluster (#436200)). * Tweaks to euca_conf operation to make initial installation experience smoother. * Boot sequence adjustments. * Converted usplash to Upstart (#434361). Not entirely without incident, with a follow-up ubiquity bug, but on the whole this seems to have worked out rather well. Took nearly a full day of frequent reboots to figure it out though ... * Got Wubi working at long last (#435153), although perhaps only for me; Dave Morley is still having trouble. === Evan Dandrea === * Short week. Plumbers from the 23rd through the 25th. Swap day on Monday to make up for United travel madness on Sunday. * Sponsored an upload of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu for Dylan. * Lots of bug triage (this week and last, forgot to mention it in my previous report). * CD testing. ==== ubiquity ==== * Released two new versions of ubiquity. * Fixed a minor bug: Add missing definition of self.controller for the noninteractive page in the language plugin. ==== usb-creator ==== * Released a new version. * Fixed two small bugs: * Modify adtext.cfg as well when adding options to the syslinux configuration (LP: #317059). * The persistence value is no longer passed around as a string. Fix a check that assumed it was. This was causing the persistence option to always be written (LP: #436207). === James Westby === ==== Distributed Development ==== * Fixed some more import failures. * Asked to stop importing new branches by IS until they get more disk space on codehosting. They estimate around 7 days until this is done. * Pinged the LP team about the release process around DD. ==== Daily Builds ==== * Nothing this week. ==== Distro tasks ==== * Archive admin duty. * Sponsoring from Bazaar branches. * ISO testing. === Lars Wirzenius === === Matthias Klose === === Michael Terry === * Attended Linux plumbers * Canonical OEM team work === Michael Vogt === ==== software-store^Wcenter ==== * lots of bug triage (both s-c and aptdaemon) * review/merge changes by rugby471 * fixing xapian query * fix update-software-store with invalid locales * look at matts-pathbar-integration branch * fix untrusted package handling (#435313) * border size fixes * fix various crashes * fix drag-n-drop handling * fix alignments * fix more padding issues (as requested by mpt) * merge fixes from lool * renamed to software-center * fix gconf crash * review/merge help-fixes branch * Aptdaemon: debug/fix(?) crash in remove_from_connection (LP: #422585) * debug/fix empty progress window when the daemon exited in between (#437685) * Aptdaemon: add "allow-unauthenticated" feature and push to lp:~mvo/aptdaemon/allow-unauthenticated * Aptdaemon: bigger default gtk progress dialog, make it resizable * Aptdaemon: avoid possible race with apt-get (#437709) * Aptdaemon: prepare/uplaod new version (with ~6 fixes) * Aptdaemon: debug/fix translation problem (#438077) ==== gdebi ==== * bugtriage/fixing #428978 * build with split=True (debian asked about this) * upload new version ==== apt/python-apt ==== * merge i18n fixes * Merge/review apt changes from donkult * work on the karmic branch (lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/apt/karmic) * cherry picking fixes from debian-sid and the mvo branch * merge CAPS fix * better error reporting for invalid ar headers * test-build/upgrade with 0.7.23.1ubuntu1 from jaunty -> karmic (no issues) * merge apt with debian/sid version and upload to karmic (ABI break) - sorry for the lateness of this merge * also upload all rdepends with proper versionized dependencies (~30 packages) * debug failure in immediate configure calculation (#548858) ==== beta ==== * some upgrade testing (but not as much as I would have liked too, too much to do * updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeAppInstallDesktopDatabaseUpdate to reflect current status * run app-install-data extraction (took much longer than expected and did not finish in time to be included in the beta iso) so the data on the CD is slightly outdated ==== update-manager ==== * bug triage * fixing (i18n issues, ui issues) * adding quirks for kbluetooth * debug problem with utf8 chars in gtkbuilder and report gnome upstream (gnome #596205) * Debug/fix two crashes in update-manager * fix hang in auto-upgrade-tester, better error reporting on failure * debug server upgrade failure (syslogd/rsyslog releated) * fix ubuntu-minimal remove in server upgrade by adding a implicit keepInstalled rule for all baseMetaPackages (ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard) * create patch against lp:~mvo/update-manager/hardy-oem for the OEM team that implements stepped upgrades (multiple download/install runs for systems with small disks) ==== misc ==== * Wiki MOTU feedback for amaranth * Work on lp-archive-crawler to speed up changelog (and later more) data generation - will have to wait for lucid, but proof of conecpt looks very promising (lp:~mvo/+junk/lp-archive-crawler) * fix goldendict install error and upload new versoin * Travel planing UDS * Vte update * Debug/fix gdebi failure with vte (gnome bug #587894) and upload new vte (ping vte upstream about this failure because I provided test-case + patch, it got merged now) * weekly software-center phonecall with mpt * phonecall with robbie ==== sponsoring ==== * Review/sponsor compiz upload === Scott Remnant === === Steve Langasek === ==== Release management ==== * alpha6 released ==== Packages ==== * Fix cryptsetup to use usplash again as intended, and fix initramfs-tools to properly invoke the needed scripts.
