Public bug reported: Impact ------ 1.48.4 is a new bugfix release in the stable 1.48 series, associated with the GNOME 3.24 stable series. 17.04 currently has 1.48.3.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs/log?h=gnome-3-24 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs/tree/NEWS?h=gnome-3-24 This update fixes a crash of GNOME Shell on Wayland. When GNOME Shell is run on Wayland, a crash will completely destroy the session (unlike on X where GNOME Shell tries to restart itself) so this is a high priority fix. Test Case --------- GNOME Shell is written in gjs so let's test GNOME Shell. After installing the update, reboot. Also check some of these apps: gnome-characters gnome-documents gnome-maps gnome-sound-recorder gnome-sushi gnome-weather polari All of them except for gnome-sound-recorder and polari are included in Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Budgie. Regression Potential -------------------- If gjs has a problem, it could leave Ubuntu GNOME users unable to log in to their computer at all since gdm uses part of gnome-shell to work. Other Info ---------- gjs 1.48.3 got stuck in phased-updates but the underlying issue was actually in gnome-maps which has already been fixed in 17.04 now. This gjs update should clear Phased Updates then. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html ** Affects: gjs (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: gjs (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided Status: In Progress ** Tags: upgrade-software-version zesty ** Also affects: gjs (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gjs (Ubuntu Zesty) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698553 Title: Update gjs to 1.48.4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/+bug/1698553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
