= GNOME = The desktop seeds are now updated
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful/revision/2531 This means that GNOME Shell is now the default desktop environment and this will filter down into the daily ISOs, for now though there are still some dependency chains to fix. We are aware of a bug in the daily ISOs which is causing GNOME Shell to fail to start. It is recommended that you hold off testing until this is fixed. We will send a separate followup when this is done. https://launchpad.net/bugs/1695212 = LivePatch = We’re adding unit tests for the changes needed to software-properties to show the LivePatch status information and putting the finishing touches to the Ubuntu SSO dialogue. = QA = We added upgrade tests for Xenial to Zesty and Artful. We’re expecting people will want to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS in order to test GNOME Shell, and we want that upgrade experience to be flawless. ISO, Ubiquity and Upgrade test results have been added to the Grafana dashboard. We are fixing some issues in the reported metrics for ISO tests before making the dashboard public. = Updates = Fwupd is updated to 0.9.2 in Artful. You can install a firmware update for some Logitech “unifying” devices with this version - although the update is still under test. https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2017/05/22/updating-logitech-hardware-on-linux/ Chromium: Beta is 59.0.3071.71, dev to 60.0.3107.4. Chromium 59 should be promoted to Stable this week and uses Gtk3. We’ve upstreamed a lot of system-config-printer fixes and they have all been accepted. More theme fixes are being reviewed for Ambiance/Radiance on GNOME Shell. The H2DP profile fixes can be tested in a PPA detailed in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1582213 = Snaps = GNOME 3.24 platform Snap for Xenial is now available. Exciting news for GNOME Builder users. We’ve been working on Snapcraft integration to generate Snaps directly from Builder. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapcraft-plugin-for-gnome-builder/868 Please take it for a spin and report any problems you find. = Trello = We’re tracking our day to day work in Trello. It’s public (read only). You can see it here https://trello.com/b/0T55ivzN/ubuntu-desktop-17-10-cycle = In The News = The Fraction Scaling / HiDPI hackfest starts on Monday in the incredible Taipei 101. https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2017/05/19/fractional-scaling-goes-east/ Cheers, -- Iain Lane [ [email protected] ] Debian Developer [ [email protected] ] Ubuntu Developer [ [email protected] ]
