10.04.4

The following is a summary of bugs fixed between Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 10.04.4. This summary covers only changes to packages in main and restricted, which account for all packages in the officially-supported CD images; there are further changes to various packages in universe and multiverse. Some of these fixes were by Ubuntu developers directly, while others were by upstream developers and backported to Ubuntu. For full details, see the individual package changelogs.

In addition to the fixed bugs listed below, this update includes all security updates from the Ubuntu Security Notice list affecting Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that were released up to and including 13 February 2012. The last update included was USN-1360-1.

To understand the changes made:

This is the last planned point release update to be issued for 10.04, SRU's will continue to be issued until EOL.


Known Issues

If you are trying to create an installation CD or USB for a 10.04 based release from a 10.10 or later system, you may run into 645818. The workaround is documented in the report. Typing 'live' or 'help' (without the quotes) at the boot: prompt allows the user to proceed with the installation.

On Ubuntu 10.04.4 Alternate image, under some conditions, ltsp client is not able to load boot file. The following workaround and further information can be found in 813837.

Change the line in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf from
    filename "/ltsp/amd64.tmp/pxelinux.0";
to
    filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";

On the Ubuntu 10.04.4 DVD, for i386, the linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-server depends on a package that only exists on an amd64 system and should not be used. On the DVD for amd64 systems, linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae depends on an i386 package, which is not available and should not be used.


Changes Since 10.04.3

Installation and Boot Fixes

Updated CD images are provided with this release, including fixes for some installation bugs. (Many installation problems are hardware-specific; for those, see "Hardware support bugs" below.)

Add (Ubuntu) oneiric as a symlink to gutsy

Do not remove diversions. Those diversions were likely installed by older releases of the driver (since we don't use diversions any more). Any diversion should be removed in fglrx.preinst, as it's exactly where we remove all other diversions

grub

692691

Refine detection of Xen-only kernels: kernels with both CONFIG_XEN=y and CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y are now given both Xen entries (if a hypervisor is present) and non-Xen entries.

openssh

531912

debian/openssh-server.ssh.init: Adding upstart awareness that will call /lib/init/upstart-job when script is run outside of a chroot. While this fixes LP: #531912, the change should be reverted when upstart gains chroot session support.

papyon

887349

Fix login failure due to trying to interact to an obsolete server

parted

664115

Don't call 'udevadm settle' when chrooted.

ubiquity

628630

Stop ubiquity and oem-config when stopping display managers. This should guarantee that X has exited by the time we try to start plymouth on shutdown

ubiquity

442941

Add --config=Mode:0644 to debconf-copydb call, as otherwise we leave /var/cache/debconf/config.dat mode 0600 in the installed system, breaking the first run of some package management frontends

Prevent Firefox sending header "Accept-Language: chrome://global/locale/intl.properties" because the intl.accept_languages preference is messed up. Drop a patch which causes the preferences system to save a user preference when changing a preference value to equal the system default value (and revert to the original behaviour where the preference is just discarded).
