== Present == * Martin Pitt (pitti) -- chair * Jonathan Riddell (Riddell) * Kenneth Wimer (kwwii) * Michael Vogt (mvo) * Mirco Müller (MacSlow) * Sebastien Bacher (seb128) * Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) * Pedro Villavicencio Garrido (pedro_) == Apologies == * Scott James Remnant (Keybuk) - sick leave * Ted Gould (tedg) - holiday == Agenda == * Outstanding actions from last meeting * Sponsoring queue overview: Desktop team is doing well, all but one patch is uploaded; Scott still has a few open bugs, though, but he isn't available today for further details * Review activity reports * Mirko's work is a bit stuck on his gdm work on face browser, since the new gdm is far from ready for Intrepid so far; he will continue to work with upstream and have a talk with Mark for our requirements in Intrepid. * Martin asked about how everyone is doing with their spec implementations; no problems or drags were reported, aside from Mirko's above. == Outstanding actions from last meeting == * Matthew to follow up with upstream about UI improvements in new user admin tool: no response so far, he will mail again == Actions from this meeting == * Mirko to clarify gdm goals for face browser for Intrepid/Intrepid+1. == Activity reports == === Jonathan Riddell (Riddell) === done: * KDE 4.1 packaged and uploaded * update-manager ported to Qt 4 * gdebi ported to Qt 4 * Fix avahi to compile in main * Kubuntu meeting (one new member) todo: * system-config-printer-kde * finish KDE 4 Rosetta support not cdbs compiles no milestoned bugs === Kenneth Wimer (kwwii) === No report received. === Martin Pitt (pitti) === Assigned Intrepid specs: * intrepid-device-permissions: No change since last week. * jockey-printer-driver-support: No change since last week. * gdm-guest-account: * After working on the guest setup scripts for about a week, I discovered many bugs in graphics drivers and kernel oopses, so that I doubt that I'll ever get this stable enough with the "do everything from scratch" approach. Sad to say that this was wasted work :-( * So I went ahead and hacked guest support into our current gdm, with externalizing as much as possible into the new gdm-guest-session package. Both are in intrepid now, feedback appreciated. AppArmor profile landed today. UI integration still missing. Currently open milestoned bugs: * Intrepid: #224697 (Disable hibernation if swap is on file), #232428 (guile 1.6 -> 1.8 transition), #246550 (upgrade conffile prompt): will do later, specs go first Other non-chores work done: * got the apport retracers back into working order, including intrepid === Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) === No report received, busy with Launchpad. === Michael Vogt (mvo) === ==== update-manager/release-upgrades ==== * reproduce/fix install-doc failure (#243830 and some duplicates) * merge "better-nvidia-support" branch into update-manager that should now be able to automatically select the right nvidia driver on upgrade (and fix some issues like missing depends) * improvements in the progress reporting for the non-interactive mode (needed for the sandbox-upgrade-tester) - not perfect yet, but a improvement * merge the kde4 branch and do testing/fixing on it (some smallish issues with the terminal widget and other small bits), improve the test-code for the terminal widget along the way * fix crashes ==== sandbox-upgrader ==== * add automatic test script that works on top of the cloned system * create sandbox-upgrader package and put it into my PPA * testing (work ok on my system now) * feedback very welcome (needs a kvm capable machine and diskspace/bandwidth for the test), available in my PPA as sandbox-upgrader and then "sudo sandbox-test-upgrade" ==== systemwide-preferences ==== * sent mail to gnomecc list (stuck in the moderation queue?) * add reader/writer for /etc/environment to the dbus backend ==== compiz ==== * analyze compiz hang for certain screensaver hacks (LP: #101943, compiz bug 961) that is caused by compiz not catching up fast enough with the xdamage events and and sent patch upstream (based on patch by Michel D�nzer) * updated plugins-main to latest git * looked into updating compiz core too, but little changes and the current kde3/kde4 code is difficult to split appart, needs more work (i.e. even with just kde4 enabled in configure it wants to build kde3 bits) ==== mobile ==== * make virtual-mobile-builder behave a bit more like moblin-image-creator and produce mccaslin-lpia-ume kvm images for the mobile team (this was complicated by the fact that with hardy-updates and hardy-security in sources.list midbrowser would not start because of some incompatibilty in the GRE version) ==== apt ==== * review/merge apt https branch by Arnaud Ebalard * translated package descriptions update for intrepid * fix incorrect reporting ofr "breaks" in at-cache unmet ==== SRU ==== * debug/fix problem with security.ubuntu.com display in software-properties (#244093) * make anacron wakeup on resume in pm-utils too (#249220) and upload hardy version into my PPA, will do a SRU for it * fix update-notifier shows incorrect number of updates problem (LP #251494) * merge compiz animation fix for hardy (#LP 198370, opencompositing: #949) * debug/fix crash in python-apt when a package has no priority set, upload fixes to gutsy and hardy (#253255) * add workaround for the crash in python-apt to the release-upgrader and upload fixes to intrepid and hardy-proposed ==== misc ==== * bug triage/mail * some sponsoring (sponsoring list) * review/merge potmodify.py script into apt-ddtp-tools to improve the translated package descriptions pot * fixed HW issues in my desktop (replaced main power supply unit, fortunately that was all needed) * fix gnome-session regression when update-notifier sents it the save-clients message before rebooting and sent patch upstream (#545123) * upload new libgksu to fix hang problem (#55172) - SRU too? * new friendly-recover with some fixes === Mirco Müller (MacSlow) === login-experience/gdm-face-browser: * using relative sizes in .json file for works now, will be able to make theme and layout adapt to screens aspect-ratio * reading lots and lots of code of upstream simple-greeter, to get a better understanding which parts are needed for the graphical-greeter * getting used to bzr's svn-plugin for importing upstream gdm-repository from GNOME's svn, but considering bzr-mirror.gnome.org because it's faster * did small screencast of some early code... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBa6me9Avi8, http://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/graphical-greeter-1.ogg === Sebastien Bacher (seb128) === * lot of bugs triage * looked a the sponsoring queue and subscribed people * backported some fixes to hardy * intrepid GNOME updates * got a new mentoree, gave him some tasks and replied to his questions, sponsored his first desktop updates * archive admin tasks === Ted Gould (tedg) === On holiday, no report received. -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
