** Description changed: [ Impact ] While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot - find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. This is strange - given that packagekit is installed, provides packagekit.service, which - declares that it provides that name over DBus. Specifically, the - following is output by totem: + find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. + + The main source of the bug is that App Center does not implement + org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify2 on the session bus, which would + prompt the user to install the missing codecs. This is being worked on + and will be delivered as a snap update. + + But a fix to PackageKit itself is also necessary in order to correctly + resolve the codec providers. + + [ Test Plan ] + + For the purpose of the SRU, we're only going to verify the PackageKit fix. + Verify the output of the following commands: + + 1. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)()(64bit)" + -> gstreamer1.0-fdkaac-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.amd64 + + 2. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)" + -> gstreamer1.0-fdkaac-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.amd64 + Additionally, if you have enabled the i386 dpkg architecture on amd64: + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.i386 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.i386 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.i386 + + 3. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-video/x-h265)()(64bit)" + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64 + + 4. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-video/x-h265)" + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64 + Additionally, if you have enabled the i386 dpkg architecture on amd64: + -> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.i386 + -> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.i386 + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch can only affect the behaviour of matching GStreamer capabilities. + No other packagekit features are affected. + Problems could manifest with `pkcon what-provides gstreamer1(...)` queries returning the wrong package names.
