I don't think there is a strong metaphor running through the
application. That would be inconsistent with the idea that the name
store had two meanings. The only thing I can see is the use of the
word Departments on the first screen, right? It's not wholly out of
place even with the change of name, but I guess it could be changed to
Categories or similar. I'm sure the project developers will take a
decision on that.


I remember seeing a Shelf* combo somewhere, but indeed I cannot find 
it now so it was probably excised already.

Hi everyone,

I made the mistake of asking What's up with featured apps for
Maverick? today. Ends up, no updates planned, so I got conned into
doing it. Here's the list for Maverick:

I don't understand how the “too geeky” argument fits with the

the guidelines updated IMHO.

 That would work as well I guess...

I think if that's what people are interested in (and not wider MOTU
work) then that's what they should be applying for.

If someone can come up with an initial list and a suitable definition
for which packages should go in it (so we know which packages can be
added in future) then it should be accepted.

If you desktoppers are the people who sponsor most of these uploads into
the archive anyway then you could become the approvers for this team
just like you are for ~ubuntu-desktop.

  The description would be pretty similar to the desktop set but for the
  components which are not in the default installation (or those who are in
  universe), it's basically what would we needed on top of what ubuntu-desktop
  is maintaining to maintain a rather vanilla GNOME
 
 The proposed description from today's meeting was Every package that
 is NOT in main, but needed for a vanilla GNOME. Vanilla GNOME is
 defined by upstream in gnome-suites-core, gnome-suites-core-deps, and
 gnome-apps http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/tree/modulesets;
 
 Below is a list of what would be included. I kept vinagre and the mono
 pieces since those are expected to drop from main soon.

To me, this is almost reasonable except fo the NOT in main part. We
should not be considering components when defining sets — they are
orthogonal. In this case it would be fine to say NOT in
ubuntu-desktop.

If fixed, then we should revisit this in our next meeting; please make
sure it is on the agenda and that you show up.

We should create the packageset with the state of the archive as it is
at the time and update it if things change.

 Hi Everyone -
 
 Thank you all for sending feedback[1][2][3] on the default music player for
 12.04. It is clear the right decision for 12.04 is to make Rhythmbox the
 default music player. Thank you, above all else, for keeping the
 conversation cordial and making the decision about what is best for Ubuntu.

Sorry, but it doesn't seem 'clear' to me. Please explain more.

More constructive would have been sound technicals argument that could
have been presented to upstream. Things they would have been able to
work on.

What is 'clear' though is that the default application selection process
should not work like this. I would like to see us learn lessons from
this situation so that our upstreams and users are treated with greater
respect. 

Most importantly, we need to be having more constant and constructive
dialogs with upstreams throughout the whole cycle and not just at
application selection time (actually in this case there has been very
poor communcation with upstream even since the discussion). Using the
promise of being on or threat of being removed from the install to
cudgel projects into the direction you want is not very satisfactory.

Chopping-and-changing doesn't do people any favours either. There should
be some commitment from Ubuntu; being the default app brings upstreams a
lot of users (which is great), but also increases the support and bug
workload (which is not so great).  If Ubuntu could be relied on more
then upstreams would not be so burdened.

PiTiVi was treated in a similar way a few months ago. It is sad that no
lessons were learned from that situation. Please do not let it happen
again. None of this should have come out of a UDS session. If there are
such serious issues then they should have been raised months ago.

[be...@bzed.de: The state of geoclue in Debian]

Since you guys seem to care about geoclue, you might be interested in
adopting.

I also offer to sponsor incase you cannot upload to Debian. Maybe it
makes sense to maintain under pkg-gnome?

Cheers!

 Hi,
 
 as empathy, webkit and emerillon build-depend on geoclue these days, I thought
 its time to write something about it on d-devel instead of just orphaning it 
 ;)
 
 We are facing several issues with geoclue:
 - upstream is more or less dead.The only commits I see in their git are 
 bugfixes
 for major issues.
 - Ubuntu splitted the package and applied various changes without getting in
 contact with their Debian upstream about it. I'm not willing to try to figure
 out what they did and why and if it makes sense. LP also shows various
 not-so-nice-sounding bugs (I didn't investigate).
 - The gpsd provider is a complte mess, the NM stuff also fails to build with 
 NM
 from experimental, even with the suggested patches applied. And I'm not keen 
 on
 shipping the latest git master instead of a released version.
 
 So unless somebody steps up to maintain *and* actively develop geoclue, it 
 will
 be orphaned soon and I'll file bugs to remove it from the packages which
 build-depend on it.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Bernd

 It would be great to have upload rights for desktop-extra-set which will
 give me the opportunity to update and fix things directly in Ubuntu.

Unfortunately it looks like there might have been some confusion. We
didn't grant the desktop team the ability to administer (add new members
to) the desktop-extra packageset themselves. It looks from the voting
here that you guys think like this is the case; I'm sorry for any
mix up. What we did grant was that desktop-extra upload access comes as
a consequence of ubuntu-desktop upload access.

I see some options

  - Rico applies for full ubuntu-desktop membership, which as a
consequence grants desktop-extra upload access.
  - Rico applies to the DMB for desktop-extra upload access.
  - Any member of ubuntu-desktop asks the DMB to consider allowing
ubuntu-desktop to administer the desktop-extra uploading team (not
the set of packages covered, just the membership of the team).

Re: [Desktop12.10-Topic] Default application selection process

 Hey Iain,
 
 Thanks for writing that email, I had that on my list as well, making
 sure we don't have another of those default application selection
 session like previous UDS ;-)

Right. I think that having a session named like that is probably not the
most constructive use of time. Like you say it's probably better to have
more focussed discussions on particular areas.

 
 
 Hopefully others have thoughts about how this can work better. The main
 issue I think is to allow all stakeholders ample opportunity to make
 their representations, but the issue around how the decision is actually
 finally made is also worthwhile IMHO.
 
 
 Ok, I did some thinking over that and that's what ideas I come with
 (in random order):
 
 - we should make a public call for changes to discuss early and
 froze the list of topics at two weeks before UDS
 
 - we should reach the concerned upstreams at least one week before
 UDS (earlier if possible) to let them the opportunity to comment

Yes, and the distribution developers involved too.

It would be a bad idea if upstreams were forced to defend their
application in long mailing list threads every six months. The desktop
team can act as a filter here, vetoing choices and selecting those which
should go ahead for further discussion. There should be no (if
avoidable) surprises coming out of UDS sessions.

 
 - we want to avoid the session to turn into a list all the things I
 don't like about $software, we don't aim at stop energy but at
 improving things

It would be nice if issues could be communicated with upstreams /before/
it got to the stage of ditching / switching applications. Say some user
testing or a survey or bug analysis or something 2-3 months after
release to figure out what's working and not.

 […]
 So what I think we should discuss:
 
 - what new application we might want to get in, basically the world
 change and we need re-evaluate what we ship to match that. Let's
 take an example and say everybody owns an ebook nowadays, we might
 consider getting a software allowing you to load books on a device
 in the default install. Those discussions should be easy enough to
 keep on track
 
 - what application we might want to drop from the CD, not because of
 bugs or quality but because the world changed and we think that's
 not useful anymore (i.e do we still need something to record audio
 CDs installed by default in a world where less and less people use
 CDs). That should also be an non troll-material discussion

Yeah, it'd be good if we could come up with some usecases that we want
the default desktop to support and then review and change this list
which would then affect the choice of shipped software. Sort of one step
removed.

 
 - what applications we are unhappy about, that's the tricky one.
 
 I would suggest for those to:
 * not start with a let's drop, or let's replace $foo, but rather
 how can we improve ...
 * not go on the list specific bugs or issues into that discussion,
 that's often non constructive, quite the contrary
 * not suggest changes for the coming cycle but rather do it over 2
 cycle: how can we improve what we have next cycle and what do we
 do if next cycle we are still unhappy about what we got, that
 should lead to constructive discussions over what we,upstream can do
 over next cycle without blocking us too much

If we can find out earlier on what's not working well then we'll be able
to feed this back to upstreams so that they can plan accordingly. It
shouldn't be a case of fix this in the next six months or we're
dropping you. UDS timing is a bit unfortunate in this regard because it
comes too soon after release to have real user feedback but we're
trying to make decisions for a release which is happening in only six
months time.

 I would rather like to see the session being focussed on the Ubuntu
 weaknesses and how we work toward resolving those rather than on
 pointing what doesn't work.

Yes. If there's to be a general session then I think it shouldn't be
about default application selection, but rather about the quality of the
desktop in the previous release and what we should tweak, and the
session lead should be strong in stopping unproductive discussions from
happening.

Thanks for your input,

Joining ~ubuntu-desktop

Hi there,

I think it would be beneficial if I were to join the ~ubuntu-desktop
team. It would allow me to not block on sponsors and to be able to
commit directly to the VCS, both of which would be very useful.

I had hoped to go directly to core-dev, but being a member myself means
that we need one more than usual for quorum which is proving slightly
difficult. :P

According to the application page[0]:

,
| At least three existing members have to confirm that they have worked
| enough with you to judge your skills and that you meet the criteria

`

I'd really appreciate it if you could endorse me.

Ah, I think this is quite an interesting topic for us indeed. We don't
seem to be getting any closer to GNOME, as indicated by the surprises
you've pointed to. I wonder if we can fix/reduce that problem in future?

Given the way that both projects are now design led, and the fact that
it's design decisions / philosophies that are driving many of these
difficulties, it would seem prudent for the respective design teams to
try to work together a bit more closely. I wonder if we can facilitate
something here, either at UDS depending on the people there or
elsewhere.

Also, will we have enough upstream guys at UDS to have a GNOME
relationship healthcheck like we had before?

Back to the initial proposal quoted above. My initial reaction was that
I disliked it because my philosophy that I generally prefer to work as
close to upstreams as possible so that we can have a more productive
feedback loop when it comes to bugs and features. But it seems that
perhaps this is slightly broken for us, so neither party is getting much
benefit out of it. A benefit would be that tracking stable series lets
us work more closely with our other big upstream, Debian. We might be
able to reduce our deltas there quite a lot if we're tracking the same
stuff.

[Desktop13.04-Topic] Reduce patch burden

[Iain Lane]

Hi,

A lot of our packages are patched over upstream. Each of these comes
with a maintenance cost and is also a source of bugs and frustration
(quilt patches aren't the easiest things in the world to work with).

I think we should systematically look at our patches and re-evaluate for
each one

  - Whether it is really (still) necessary — if not, drop
  - If we can forward upstream if not already or if we can help
its upstream inclusion along
  - Who is going to maintain the patch in the distro if it needs to be
kept as a local patch — desktop, PS, …

It would be good if we could use something like DEP5 headers for all
patches, including adding them to existing patches. It's sometimes
really quite difficult to figure out what a particular patch is for,
whether it is upstream and so on.

It would be best if you would come and hang out with us on
#ubuntu-desktop (Freenode). You'll then be able to ask any workflow
questions you have and to ask about any particular patch you want to
look at.

Cheers, looking forward to seeing you there! :-)

Do we need a sound recorder in the default install?

[Iain Lane]

Hey,

In the course of working towards porting our default desktop to using
GStreamer 1.0, one of the last holdouts is the venerable gnome-media
package, also known as Sound Recorder.

I discovered from reading around on the web that the maintainer thinks
it's a dead project.

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679381

and (linked from this bug) that there is a more GNOME3-ish rewrite in
progress (which unfortunately doesn't use gstreamer-1.0 yet, but as it
doesn't do as many things as gnome-media [and uses Vala], porting should
be easier. Bindings do exist now).

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.multimedia/1893

I think we should remove gnome-media from the default install. In
addition to not being ported and being EOLed upstrem, it seems to be
quite crashy now. There are some bad reviews on the software centre too;
I don't think it's providing a good experience to our users
notwithstanding the lack of a finished/working gst-1.0 port.

If we do do this, should we replace it with another microphone recording
application? Is this a usecase that we think is important for the
default install? gnome-sound-recorder (the rewrite) would require some
engineering commitment to port to 1.0 and resolve bugs (for example it
segfaults here as soon as I click 'record' ;-)). Unless someone knows of
another suitable lightweight recording app.

The seed turns out to be quite close to 'touch' (the existing seed) so

Indeed, I don't think it is.

Since we recommend this in the installer, I've just spent some time
cherry-picking a few patches from upstream to resolve the crash bug and
others - it becomes apparent once you fix the immediate crash and fail
to launch problems that there are some UI rendering issues. I'll clean
up and upload this to Utopic today - hopefully it can be accepted as the
patches aren't too invasive.

Hopefully somebody else would take care of SRUing to Trusty at this

Call for testing: GTK 3.15.4

[Iain Lane]

Desktop fans,

We're thinking about having the released version of GTK3 in 15.04 be
3.16, which is the current in-development version to be released towards
the end of March.

This version contains lots of cool stuff

  https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK+/Roadmap#line-58

but the main motivation from our side is that it contains an
implementation of overlay scrollbars that will allow us to remove our
existing GTK module which is becoming harder and taking longer to
maintain over time.

Please test the versions I've just uploaded to the Ubuntu desktop PPA

  ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa

and let me know if you see any new bad behaviour not mentioned below or
if you have any good reason we might not want to do this.

Some known issues which we'll try to fix for the release:

  - There's a black notification shown in the greeter
  - Not all apps have overlay scrollbars (devhelp, gnome-terminal, ...)
  - gnome-terminal shrinks to 1x1 sometimes (cherry-pick
07fe194eb60aa9ec2eacdafdb4ba6ac91a636f34, but we suspect this may be
incomplete)
  - Overlay scrollbars aren't styled like ours were
  - They hide completely when inactive, meaning that you don't know how
far you've scrolled

I wasn't involved in the original decision, but I would bet that it's
because Canonical does not want to support two spam classifiers in the
main section of the archive.

bogofilter support in Evolution has to be enabled or disabled at compile
time (testing for the presence of the executable), but as far as I can
see the plugin only calls the executable and doesn't use any library so
it is only actually required at *runtime*.

Which means, unless I'm mistaken (I only looked briefly), that someone
so interested could submit a patch to Evolution, preferably upstream, to
move the check from build to runtime.

Jus' coming back on this. Thanks to those who tested - it made us aware
of problems that we didn't know about before. We discussed this switch
at the desktop team meeting on Tuesday[0] and the consesnsus amongst
those there is that the issues outweigh the benefits of switching, so
for now we prefer to stick with what we have for 15.04.

Since we now know about a lot of issues, some of us on the team will
work on them when we have down time throughout the rest of the cycle, to
allow us to switch ASAP once wubbly whinoceros opens.

Using pinentry-gnome3 (gpg-agent) instead of gnome-keyring's gpg agent

[Iain Lane]

Hi desktop fans,

gnome-keyring's GPG agent is incomplete and incompatible with
gpg2[0][1]. gnupg upstream don't recommend it is used.

In Debian and (gnupg) upstream a new GNOME 3 pinentry (agent
passphrase prompter) program has been developed and packaged. I've just
packaged these for Ubuntu and uploaded to a PPA for testing. I'd
appreciate some testing and feedback before a potential upload next
week. It's in ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gpg for wily. You'll need to restart
your session to get the real gpg-agent used instead of gnome-keyring's
hijacked agent.

 Dear developers,
 
 USC is getting old. It is in Python 2, and probably will never be ported to

 I suggest dropping USC in future Ubuntu releases and adopt GNOME Software.
 
 GNOME Software is build on newer GNOME technologies. It, of course, needs 
 some modifications to support the same features which are supported by USC, 
 like purchasing applications.

I think some work on a port was undertaken a while ago, but stalled
because not all dependencies were ported. So it might not be a big job
to pick that up and move USC to Python 3.

It is fair to say that the software centre hasn't seen much feature
development in recent times. I agree that it would be interesting for us
to look into adopting GNOME Software in future. I've not looked at it
much myself but it seems as if it would provide a nice user experience.

There would be some problems to solve first though - off the top of my
head they include

  - How to provide Appstream/DEP-11 metadata (what's the status of this
in Debian? How's our coverage?)
  - Ratings and Reviews - do we need to support them? If so, that will
need to be added.
  - Purchasing. Do we still want a way to purchase things? What about
people who already did so on previous releases - how can we keep
giving them access to their goodies?
  - Smaller tweaks like adding installed programs (with desktop files)
to the launcher, UI changes for Unity, …

Just my views. I don't know what the rest of the desktop team thinks,
but I'd be keen to at least investigate the possibility of doing this,
unless we decide to dust USC off.

I just did this now, as well as some other miscellaneous shuffling. For

Not yet. The rest of this thread notwithstanding, this package would

Just to keep this list informed: Last week we made the necessary changes
to add gnome-calendar to the desktop images. A few of us from the team
considered the two solutions proposed here and we preferred
gnome-calendar for the reasons Seb listed above.

There are a few issues which we'll iron out over the rest of the cycle.

There's a staging deployment at <http://162.213.34.169/html/>. Work is
underway to get it put into a production location and have the Ubuntu
mirrors fetch and serve the data so that apt can do the following
automatically.

In the meantime you can run
<http://people.canonical.com/~laney/random-scripts/appstream.sh> (as
root, read it first) to manually put it in the right place. After that
you'd expect gnome-software to list available applications, but it
doesn't for me at least. So there is still some more work to be done
here, probably on the PackageKit side.

Ahhha!

I just looked into this (thanks for the pointers) and it was a bug in my
script, unpacking to the wrong directory. I fixed it now, same URL. For
me searching (modulo the completeness of our appstream data, to be
worked on soon: watch this space) and installing works. Removing and
updating (offline only - upstream don't support online updates) doesn't
yet it seems.

AppStream and gnome-software are coming to a Xenial near you: time to fix packages!

[Iain Lane]

Dear developers,

[ tl;dr: We're switching from Ubuntu Software Center to GNOME software,
  and many packages need fixing in order to show up there. ]

As you might now, we will be moving to GNOME Software for our default software
management application from the 16.04 release.

GNOME software uses AppStream metadata generated from the Ubuntu package
archive to determine the available applications to show to users. You
can think of this as a modern replacement for the current
app-install-data system that Software Center uses.

In order to make software show up in the new software center and to fix
quirks in the displayed applications, it may be required to make
packaging adjustments.

We need developers to help out with this. Currently, there are many
packages with errors which cause the AppStream generator to not include
them. We want to get as many packages as possible fixed before 16.04
releases, in order to provide a quality experience.

To see the current packages with errors, visit
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/ which is updated hourly. You can see the
data in action by using GNOME Software, which is available now in Xenial
by installing the `gnome-software' package - and soon will be installed
by default.

The most common issues relate to icons. We are more strict about the
icons that packages have to ship to be included, requiring at least a
64x64 icon and forbidding XPM icons.

You can find more information about the do's and don'ts at the Debian
wiki on https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines - including an FAQ
item telilng you what the minimal amount of work you need to do is. :)

If you want to enhance the provided metadata, you should try to convince
upstream projects to ship your improvements. This is a cross distro
effort, so other distributions will benefit if fixes are shared.

Please submit fixes to Ubuntu packages on Launchpad following the
regular sponsorship process of filing a bug and subscribing
"ubuntu-sponsors". Please also add the tag "appstream", so that we can
make sure to review all proposed metadata fixes. Include a link so we
can see that you have shared your fix with upstream and don't have to
ask.

The Ubuntu desktop team is leading this work, and we can be found in
#ubuntu-desktop on Freenode if you have questions.

Lots of love from Brussels,

Matthias Klumpp

I started uploading stuff now.

It's going to be blocked in yakkety-proposed until things like the
installer and some critical applications are lined up. You should upload
themes now, and if they're going to break with GTK 3.18 then add a bug
task to bug #1593048 and make your upload have "LP: #1593048", then it
will be held up along with everything else.

Yes, +1 from me.

It's true that the Canonical team is a bit fragmented between a few
different projects these days. Some of us are still trying to keep the
distro / GNOME end up, and I appreciate your assistance here.

GTK 3.20 or "oh dear, my themes broke again"

[Iain Lane]

All,

To cut a long story short: I've been working on GTK 3.20 for the past
few
weeks, and it's getting ready to upload. I'm away next week so it'll
likely be
the week after (so near enough 2 weeks from now) at the earliest.

When I say "working on", I really mean that I've been porting the Ubuntu
theme,
Ambiance, over. This release is a big theme breaker. It's supposed to be
the
last time this happens, in GTK 3 at least. So my hope is that we're good
with
theming up to 18.04 LTS now.

Anyway. Check out ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gtk320. There are still issues with
ubiquity and gnome-terminal left to resolve, and I hope to do that this
week
and maybe next. Then Radiance needs porting, which should mostly be a
find &
replace job on the Ambiance work. Please don't yet report bugs like
these to me
- this mail is mostly a notice to anyone who cares about a GTK
application or
maintains a theme to check if your stuff needs work.

Flavours are probably going to be negatively affected by this. Hopefully
Ubuntu
MATE can piggyback on (and improve) my light-themes changes, and
Shimmer[0]
seems to have some work to port their Greybird theme already so maybe
Xubuntu
will be okay without too much work.

Cheers,

That makes sense. This is enough to get the packages on the ISO anyway,
so at least people trying that will get it more or less straight away.

= GNOME =
We’re working on adding captive portal detection to Artful. We think it
would be good if there were an option in the privacy settings to enable
or disable this. We’ve done some initial work as preparation - some
patches have been submitted to Network Manager’s upstream to enable an
option to be created. They are currently awaiting review.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785117

= ISO cleanups =
Work continues to move deprecated components out of the desktop ISO and
to universe. This week's list includes indicator-application and
indicator-messages.

= Snaps =
Updated versions of gedit, gnome-sudoku, quadrapassel, gnome-dictionary,
gnome-calculator, and gnome-clocks are in the edge channel of the store
now built using the gnome-3-24 content interface.

= Video & Audio =
A workaround has been uploaded for GDM which was blocking the a2dp high
quality bluetooth profile from being activated in the user session.

= Updates =
  - Libreoffice 5.3.4, with a workaround for an i386 kernel issue which
had been blocking the previous version.
  - GStreamer 1.12.2.
  - Evolution 3.24.2.
  - The nplan autopkgtest got fixed, unblocking the network-manager update.

= Unity 7 =
16.04 continues to be supported, and we've been working on some
improvements for Unity that are targeted there. In particular there are
improvements currently being developed to the low graphics mode that
will benefit users of low powered systems and VMs.

= QA =
GNOME Software has a documented test plan now.

The desktop seeds are now updated

This means that GNOME Shell is now the default desktop environment and this
will filter down into the daily ISOs, for now though there are still some
dependency chains to fix.

We are aware of a bug in the daily ISOs which is causing GNOME Shell to
fail to start. It is recommended that you hold off testing until this is
fixed. We will send a separate followup when this is done.

We’re adding unit tests for the changes needed to software-properties to
show the LivePatch status information and putting the finishing touches
to the Ubuntu SSO dialogue.

= QA =

We added upgrade tests for Xenial to Zesty and Artful.  We’re expecting
people will want to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS in order to test GNOME
Shell, and we want that upgrade experience to be flawless.

ISO, Ubiquity and Upgrade test results have been added to the Grafana
dashboard.  We are fixing some issues in the reported metrics for ISO
tests before making the dashboard public.

Fwupd is updated to 0.9.2 in Artful.  You can install a firmware update
for some Logitech “unifying” devices with this version - although the
update is still under test.

Chromium: Beta is 59.0.3071.71, dev to 60.0.3107.4.  Chromium 59 should
be promoted to Stable this week and uses Gtk3.

We’ve upstreamed a lot of system-config-printer fixes and they have all
been accepted.

More theme fixes are being reviewed for Ambiance/Radiance on GNOME
Shell.

The H2DP profile fixes can be tested in a PPA detailed in this bug:

That one is fixed now, thanks to Robert Ancell. So the default
environment is switched from Unity to GNOME Shell.

All being well (a couple more uploads need to move into the release),
tomorrow's image & upgrades should put you in and install Shell.

Done. What this means is that Ubuntu desktop is not releasing i386 with
the final beta, and we won't build i386 ISOs any more.

Other flavours are unaffected and, as xnox said, existing installations
that are on i386 on a previous release will be able to upgrade to 17.10
and 18.04 when they are released and they'll continue to be supported as
normal.

= Snaps =

Initial support for authenticating using PolicyKit has landed in snapd
master. It is now possible to log in to snapd using your
username/password on the machine instead of having to have an Ubuntu One
account. Further changes are awaiting review to allow you to actually
install and remove snaps in this way too.

gnome-system-monitor was uploaded to the snap store.

Libreoffice 5.4.1 is available for testing in the edge channel (but
doesn’t work under wayland yet)

We landed PCLm print output support. With this all known driverless
printing standards are supported, making most modern printers work under
Linux.

= Captive portal =

Captive portal detection is now in the Ubuntu default install. When
you’re behind a captive portal, Network Manager should pop up the
network’s login page. This communicates with an Ubuntu server to decide
if you are behind a captive portal. The check can be disabled by
visiting Privacy in Settings.

Adding the depdendencies seems like the best way to me too, if indeed

Thanks.

Since the previous SRU was uploaded + tagged, I rebased this on top of the

Re: [Merge] ~didrocks/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell:yaru-as-default into ~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell:ubuntu/master

[Iain Lane]

Thanks!

Just FYI: I've just pushed 3.29.90 which is going to make this need to be 
rebased. :-)

I made a suggestion in the diff about possibly avoiding re-running the 
update-alternatives removal multiple times for considering.

Diff comments:

A suggestion:

This is going to be called on every upgrade and twice when removing (remove and 
purge) - if we move it into the "remove" block and duplicate the same code into 
the preinst ([ "$1" = upgrade ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 
version-which-contained-this-fix AFAIK) then we can make it be called only once.

I've uploaded my initial port¹ to Cosmic now. I realise this is a little
bit of a forward thing to do, since the code has some known bugs, and I
apologise for any irritation that you feel / have to face from users.

Hopefully you understand that we need to get moving on testing GNOME
3.29, and you agree there's enough time left this cycle to shake out
bugs or work on another strategy for keeping budgie rocking on.

Cheers,

Well, I thought I had. But then I got:

  Rejected:
  budgie-desktop_10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2ubuntu2.dsc: Version older 
than that in the archive. 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2ubuntu2 <= 
10.4+git20180806.01.933f78fc03d-0ubuntu1

and it seems like the new version includes my patch. So... thanks!

Okey dokey, 3.28.3 is in ubuntu/bionic now, waiting for you to rebase.

I don't necessarily have to review the rebase, so feel free to merge and upload 
yourself if you want. Or if you do want a review, let me know.

I've seen that there's a new release 3.28.3 out now - should we take that 
instead of 509381a?

In any event there was just a security update so this will need to be rebased - 
and that update included in git probably since the security team usually ignore 
teams' packaging repositories. :(

Thanks for raising this.

I'm having a look at what changes are required to port this to mutter-3.
It's going to be mainly that MetaScreen was removed, but you should
still be able to do everything you could do before.

Is there an upstream issue for this?

I don't see why js-main-Throw-error-if-no-valid-default-stylesheet-is-fou.patch 
couldn't go upstream anyway, or at least be proposed.

If not, please put it in Gbp-Pq: topic Ubuntu.

In general I'm really worried about the amount of patches we're building up 
here. Can you please try to make an effort to get this down? (Yeah, I know that 
there's a bunch which are cherry picks from master, even ignoring those it's 
still concerning.)

I'll not block on that this time but if this keeps on increasing I might push 
back harder... 

In my opinion it's enough for the sponsor to be the person that authored the 
(signed) tag, so no need to make sponsoring bileto uploads even harder by 
requiring a round trip through the .dsc to fix a finalise commit.

That's what I'll do when sponsoring bileto updates, but if other people want to 
do it the .dsc way then I won't argue with them, I just think it's harder work.

Re: [Merge] ~3v1n0/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell:ubuntu/bionic-xubuntu-cancel-search into ~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell:ubuntu/bionic

[Iain Lane]

I'm currently dealing with some horrible rebases due to Ubuntu patches in 
nautilus, e.g. .

How can we be sure that this XUbuntuCancel stuff isn't going to end up in the 
same state?

Review: Needs Fixing

Thanks.

I haven't reviewed fully, but the version is not right - we need a "-" in there 
somewhere otherwise this is treated as a native package, which it isn't. I 
suggest "3.28.3+git20181011-0ubuntu18.04.1".

Thanks.

I did a couple of fixes to the branch and I'll push & upload to the queue.

  - Add "[ Bin Li ]" to the changelog above your bits
  - Noted that you cherry picked the install location fix from cosmic
  - Reordered the patches so that the backports are above the distro ones
  - Squashed all the fixes together. It would probably have been better as two 
commits but I am too lazy to split them. :-)

by the way, if you force push this branch when fixing it, there should be no 
need to make a new merge proposal

When you use `gbp-pq export` to make the patch series, the commit message 
becomes the patch description. So if you have them in your commit messages in 
`patch-queue/ubuntu/bionic`, they should show up correctly. Or it's also OK to 
do it by hand if you prefer.

This isn't done automatically, no - it's something you need to do by hand.

Please could you add add DEP-3 metadata here so that people in the future can 
easily find out where the patch comes from? At the end of the description, add:

This one should not be a Debian patch - a patch should never patch the debian/ 
directory itself. Please make this change directly.
