[Desktop] Release Meeting 2012-03-09

[Martin Pitt]

== What was done engineering wise? ==
 * Rebuilt all packages in the archive which had broken md5sums due to previous pkgbinarymangler versions.
 * Lots of Apport bug fixes. In particular, the random GUI crashes that started with the new UI design should be all gone now.
 * Update accessibility stack to current versions, tested qt-at-spi. Quicklists now work, but the HUD doesn't, likely a little work required on the unity-2d side, as the results are recognised as buttons, since the widget set is similar to the dash, bug filed. 
 * Lots of bug fixing across the desktop.

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

 * Unity 5.6/new compiz, see DX report.

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

None.

== Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored ==
This week I marked a whole slew of new bugs for rls-p-tracking, so there are a lot of new ones:

under investigation:
 * Bug:918791 ''qemu-kvm dies when using vmvga driver and unity in the guest'': Not investigated yet.
 * Bug:844044 ''[Unity Greeter - Add Network Login option]'': This is going back and forth with the design team, as desktop and design disagree about the necessity of this.
 * Bug:907818 ''[Bluetooth is not fully re-initialized when rfkill switch is toggled]'': Debugging made some progress, no fix yet.

triaged/in progress:
 * Bug:872701 ''[Keyboard layout doesn't change in screensaver lock dialog]'': No progress this week.
 * Bug:868400 ''[Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running]'': lightdm side is fixed now, discussed gnome-settings-daemon side with upstream. Approach is clear now.
 * Bug:932598 ''[Full hard drive causes xorg and lightdm to fail to load]'': Fixed mountall to create tmpfs /tmp on full disk, as earlier Ubuntu releases used to do. lightdm still needs a fix.
 * Bug:870297 ''[lightdm logins not being logged in wtmp]'': No progress this week.
 * Bug:899858 ''[regression in gvfs to connect/browse using obex]'': Debugging made progress, faulty version and patch identified. No fix yet.

Fixed since last report:
 * Bug:913927 ''[Jockey will fail against local disk archive]''
 * Bug:948294 ''[package gconf2 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 250]''
 * Bug:948612 ''[gnome-terminal does not scroll with mousewheel]''
 * Bug:936761 ''[Mythbuntu upgrade from Lucid to Precise pulls in all of unity]''
 * Bug:916810 ''[apport fails to communicate with the web browser for system-level crashes]''

== Release Notes ==

Nothing new since last week.
