Public bug reported: [Impact]
* I day before the 17.10 release, we had to revert some commits in GNOME Shell due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1723577 which was a release blocker (GNOME Shell not displaying anything on multiple config). * Pinging upstream, they debugged it and found the real issue in mutter, and so fixed it, which will enable us to align again with upstream's repo. * This should mostly be a no visible-effect for previously impacted users, but GNOME Shell shouldn't crash anymore in GDM (reverting then to Xorg), triggering apport on logging, and the users can then use Wayland instead of Xorg. [Test Case] * Install both mutter and gnome-shell to their latest version in -proposed * Reboot * Ensure you have an UI in GDM * Log in into your session, check that you have an UI and everything is showing up as expected [Regression Potential] * Impact is a regression in GNOME Shell (showing up your entire UI) and not being able to log in. However, some of us (not impated by the bug) are already running latest version and don't see any issue. I have also asked 3 people being impacted by the bug and fixed by the revert to test upstream commits (prepared a package for them in a PPA), and they are running on it since yesterday, confirming Wayland is available. * The regressions are quite straightfoward to see: either you have an UI in GDM or none. ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725153 Title: Reintroduce headless mode in GNOME Shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1725153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
