Hey,

Three images this week-end, and an additional one today to get a fix for 
a "no crash reported" regression. Still some blockers are preventing us 
to promote an image though, but work and landings are going on.

#267:
- a new telephony service for ensuring it's launched at startup, 
activation through voicemail, the crasher fix…
- UI fixes for the oneline accounts interface
- powerd bug fixes (mostly for the emulator)
- new apparmor bug fixes released, relevant to latest lxc
- multiple platform fixes, share with desktop (unity7…)

#268:
- performance fixes in the indicators (less wakeup)

#269:
- misc platform enhancements (openssh, gcc…)

-> AP tests results for the latest 2 images shows 100% of AP tests 
passing (we may have flaky tests on image #267, however, as we can't 
know if those are related to crashers as you'll see, it's impossible to 
decipher them) and no crash. However, we double checked on the no crash 
front as it seems we went to quite some crashers to none (on any 
device!) without any change that can explain all those fixes.
And added, a on in image #267 happened (first limiting testing showed it 
was due to the lxc/apparmor combo). We asked upstream to include some 
tests to ensure that crashers are still generated once created.

Martin uploaded the fix in apport in image #270 
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/1296026) and a new image was kicked once 
published.

#270:
- the apport fix to get crash results
- new gallery-app to fix the galery app showing blank date (without 
removing videos on the device, this time!)
- new thumbnailer to be able to drop unity-core based scopes

The tests are currently running to get real number of crashers from the 
image.


* On the blocker list:
** Music/Calendar bug (Qt event look stopping when the device is 
suspend) (Saviq)
Discussion is happening and work is ongoing while discussing with 
upstream. Was set as a blocker while whitelisted on the previous 
promotion blocker.

** Multiple crashes on images since the scope transition (Saviq/Thomas)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1297240 (Saviq)
-> Upstream is able to reproduce some now and some fix is under way.
It seems as well that any application crashing can make Unity8 and other 
services crashing. For this chain of issues, Dave opened:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1298931 
(Thomas)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner/+bug/1298950 
(Thomas)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1298952 (Saviq)
-> seems as well the mediaplayer crash is back… but Dave will expand.
-> no crashers results on recent images didn't enable to get any 
confirmation of progress here.

New blocker (due to new scopes):
Click Scope is showing "?" instead of characters (Thomas)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1300236 which was 
a dup for 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scope-click/+bug/1298327
-> regression from click scope itself


* Issues not impacting on the user experience or whitelisted by QA as 
not a promotion blocker:
** qtubuntu crash causing the dialer app to crash (only during tests) 
(Kevin)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtubuntu/+bug/1297900
-> seems to only impact on tests, when the application isn't started by 
upstart.


* Issues fixed by now (just need to check once we get full image test 
results):
** gallery shows blank dates and photos (Bill)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gallery-app/+bug/1296634
-> the debian package is landing, we need a click package release then.
-> the click package wasn't released on Friday, done today with image 
#270/. Needs confirmation that's it's fixed.

** Numerous new telephony-service-indicator crashes (Bill)
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/262:20140326:20140304/7386/dialer_app/ 
(and on other tests)
-> Landed.
-> Not getting crash results don't enable us to confirm it's fixed now. 
Will do as soon as we get test results.

That's all for today
Cheers,
Didier
