I very much want to see 2.12 for Xenial. Still, I'll be honest: we still have a couple serious regressions each cycle, and any WebKit release could break anything. E.g. we had to release 2.12.5 today to fix a nasty network process hang when there is a load failure, which was introduced in 2.12.4. It's possible that could be causing the issue here (though that would probably indicate some other bug in ubiquity). Try with 2.12.5 and see if it works better. (If not, since the issue is already fixed, I would simply wait a couple weeks for 2.14.0 and skip 2.12 entirely.)
When there is a major regression like this in a stable release, Arch users and Fedora testers normally notice very soon, and we normally have a corrected release out within a week or two. If you hold WebKit updates in testing for two weeks as part of the SRU process, or, say, a month to be very conservative, then Ubuntu would have an excellent chance to avoid most such regressions while still being able to ship WebKit security updates in a timely manner. (It's very disappointing to see WebKit has not had a single update since Xenial was released.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618956 Title: Slideshow blank during live install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1618956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
