hmm - I don't seem to have the rights to add artful and zesty as the affected series. Please can someone add these?
Enc are two debdiff patches - one for artful, one for zesty. I've built and tested these via my PPA here https://launchpad.net /~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/testwebkit2gtk/+packages ** Description changed: + [Impact] + In discussion with Jeremy Bicha (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/budgie-welcome/+bug/1713210), the 2.7 or latest version of webkit2gtk is due to be SRU'd to 16.04 & 17.04. + + During artful testing, budgie-welcome segmentation faulted when running + with the 2.7 series of webkit2gtk. + + An initial workaround fix was applied to artful (LP: #1713210). Later + discussions with upstream webkit2gtk indicated that the real reason why + the segmentation fault occurred was due to calling GTK+ calls whilst + inside a python thread. All GTK+ calls must be performed on the main + loop thread. + + The impact of this issue is that the initial workaround fix for artful + is no longer required and can be rewritten as recommended by upstream. + + The additional impact of this issue is that the 17.04 version of budgie- + welcome would be similarly affected once new SRU'd version of webkit2gtk + enters the archive. + + [Test Case] + The code streams have slightly diverged so its not possible to cherry-pick the same patch from artful to zesty. + Thus the debdiffs are subtly different between the two versions of budgie-welcome. The same principles have occurred to make the two debdiff's - searching for direct webkit calls and converting these to equivalent calls but on the main thread. + + Artful testcase: As per this bug-report, perform the following actions that are known to end with a segmentation fault. + 1. open the recommendation page + 2. open the budgie-applets page + 3. open the getting started page + 4. Install and remove a web-browser from the getting started page + 5. Install an application from the recommendation page + 6. Install and remove a budgie-applet from the budgie-applets page + + Zesty testcase: With the current 2.6 series of webkit2gtk, perform the following actions to ensure they continue to work - i.e. regression tests + 1. open the recommendation page + 2. open the getting started page + 3. Install and remove a web-browser from the getting started page + 4. Install an application from the recommendation page + + Upgrade Zesty with a backported version of the current artful 2.7 series of webkit2gtk (i.e. the version that would cause segmentation faults). + Repeat the above Zesty test case to ensure that segmentation faults do not occur + + [Regression Potential] + It is possible that not all GTK+ based calls from a thread have been converted correctly and thus segmentation faults will still occur. + The mitigation here is that Artful is still in its beta test phase and any further issues can be addressed and analysis of the zesty code-stream can be performed to confirm if the same issue is likely and thus can be fixed before webkit2gtk is SRU'd + + + [Original Description] On first login to Ubuntu Budgie, budgie-welcome is run. This crashes immediately. This has only started to occur since the new version of webkit2gtk was uploaded on Friday libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 to reproduce - login to Ubuntu Budgie.
