[Touch-packages] [Bug 1803534] Re: Backport uuid based cache file naming scheme
Marked this as invalid for now. The fontconfig improvements in snapd 2.36.2 seem to have fixed the snap startup issues. Without this SRU there are some additional cache files generated, but that should be fine just some extra noise. ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Fix Committed => Invalid ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803534 Title: Backport uuid based cache file naming scheme Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in fontconfig source package in Bionic: Invalid Bug description: Fontconfig 2.13.0 changed the cache file naming scheme to be based on the contents of ".uuid" file in the directory rather than a hash of the directory name.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1803534] Re: Backport uuid based cache file naming scheme
I've hit an issue, which I believe I've now isolated to have come from upgrading fontconfig (and related packages) from 2.12.6-0ubuntu2 to 2.12.6-0ubuntu2.3 from -proposed: if I start Firefox and afterwards start Gparted or Synaptic, Firefox starts eating up all of my CPU. Eventually all letters in the Gparted/Synaptic UI turn into boxes.

Hello James, or anyone else affected, Accepted fontconfig into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/2.12.6-0ubuntu2.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Tags removed: verification-failed verification-failed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803534 Title: Backport uuid based cache file naming scheme Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: New Status in fontconfig source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: Fontconfig 2.13.0 changed the cache file naming scheme to be based on the contents of ".uuid" file in the directory rather than a hash of the directory name.
