Re: [Ubuntugnome-qa] Fwd: [Call for testing] gnome-desktop 3.10

Rough going. It seems that X is broken in Edubuntu flashback-metacity with those packages, at least both the keyboard and mouse are non functional.

In Ubuntu GNOME the standard DE loads very slowly and a crash appears but can't be reported, although it does indicate the problem is with 'gnome-settings-daemon'.

Hey All,
  See below call for testing, mainly looking for testing against Unity or other non-shell DE's that use gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center.

This will unblock 3.10 updates of above apps if we can get this landed, so all testing is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi all,
  I have prepared a ppa to test gnome-desktop update. This implements a new daemon which mimics, what mutter what normally do for the display
config and idle monitor.

Currently only know issue is that the "monitors-changed" signal does not propagate through to gnome|unity-control-center if the resolution is
changed directly by Xrandr.

Please test and let me know if you spot any bugs.

ppa:darkxst/gnome-desktop

Thanks
   Tim

Hi Tim,

No problem, well maybe slow going because I have to care for an ill dog, but that shouldn't be a huge problem. I do however have some stupid questions as usual :^(

I'll need to start with fresh installs anyway since those I have right now have been tweaked too much. That's OK but before I start I'd like to know if any other PPA should be in use along with that?

My best guess is NO, but I want to be sure.

Yeh clean install and just that PPA is best.

So my plan would be to install the i386 versions of Ubuntu, Edubuntu, and Ubuntu GNOME. Then install this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~darkxst/+archive/gnome-desktop/+index?field.series_filter=

Would that be sufficient or would I also need to test the amd64 versions?

I don't imagine there would be any arch specific issue with these changes, so just i386 fine.

Do any other flavors need to be tested?

Not directly

If so I'm really unfamiliar ATM with Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Kubuntu.

I've also never used 'cheese', 'epiphany-browser', or 'evolution' so you should be aware of that.

those packages are just rebuilds for the library bump, main things to look out for a display config, i.e. changing display setups and idle monitor (activation of screensaver etc on idle)

Thanks

Cool, using zsync now so I can start with fresh installs.

Must also catch some sleep but I should have some results within 24 hours.
