Public bug reported: Impact ====== I'm proposing to drop 3 apps from the default Ubuntu 17.10 install: XTerm UXTerm xdiagnose
These are visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities Overview so this could impact screenshots. Justification ============= These were only in the default install because of the FailsafeX feature. Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton), maintainer of Ubuntu's X stack and co-maintainer in Debian, has said that feature isn't important any more, considering the transition to Wayland. xdiagnose also provided some apport hooks for diagnosing display problems but that was moved to xorg itself earlier this release cycle. xdiagnose currently doesn't run in the Ubuntu session on Wayland. https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/09/18/%23ubuntu-desktop.html#t14:18 Discussed earlier in the cycle: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2017-June/004980.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2017-July/005059.html List Notifications ================== ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Impact ====== I'm proposing to drop 3 apps from the default Ubuntu 17.10 install: XTerm UXTerm xdiagnose These are visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities Overview so this could impact screenshots.
