[Didier Roche <didrocks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Two image was published today and we worked mostly on covering last test 
results due to lack of automation (the devices are dying in the lab on 
reboot) as well as debugging the reboot hang. Some landings still went 
through though! No promotion until we have the list of known blockers.

#276:
- Fix for the duplicate icons bug and click scope showing "?" instead of 
characters (both previous blockers) in unity-scope-click
- qtdeclarative date format fix
- new lxc-android-config to generate ssh key while connecting the first time
- Fix unity8 under X11 and improve some tests, flush unity-api and 
-notifications queue
- some udev fixes for cgmanager interactions
- improved mediascanner logging
- drop of ubuntuone application
- new base system changes like glib, gtk, systemd, plymouth…

Autopilot test results were manually processed by Timo. Possible 
dialer/messaging app regressions were spotted in particular. This 
enabled as well to land a new autopilot for #277.


#277 is just out, hot from the press!
- the reboot issue should be fixed (more info on the first item of 
blocker list)
- a workaround in upstart-app-launch for a crasher due to incorrect 
permissions
- new autopilot bug fix for invalid usernames showing sometimes in the 
session menu
- apparmor, lxc, libvirt, lightdm, apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu delivered in 
sync with new apparmor signal and ptrace mediation for userspace
- refreshed langpacks, the udev fix discussed in the blocker list, fixes 
inherited from desktop in pulseaudio, lightdm, ibus…

-> the test in the CI datacenter are now reenabled. We hope to get test 
results on that one soon.


* On the blocker list:
** Some phones are stuck while rebooting (Oliver G.)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc-android-config/+bug/1302174
This impacts the facility to be able to run the tests and can impact on 
the user side as well (basically, you reboot and your phone is stuck at 
the google logo).
-> We restarted this morning the investigations (discussions on the bug 
report). It seemed to be linked to multiple uploads between 
lxc/cgmanager/udev interactions. We even tried latest uploaded udev 
fixing an issue when having no cgmanager 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1302264). 
However, we didn't get any better result.
Oliver found a way to have 278 phone reboots without any hanging. This 
involves disabling cgmanager and reverting to using cgroup-lite. This is 
now uploaded and should be in #277. Automatic AP testing will be turned 
on again and this should be part of history :)

** 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.
-> QA told that they only will make that decision once we won't have not 
any blocker left on the list.

** Scopes grey out and are unresponsive (Saviq)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1300326
-> It happens on swiping the welcome screen and swiping apps to close them

** Dead area at bottom when scrolling in scopes (Saviq)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1300302
-> Sometimes in the click scope the applications will shrink to 3 1/3 
lines instead of 4 and other time it will shrink to 1 this is a user 
facing issue but is easily fixed by scrolling up.


* 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.

** Multiple crashes on images since the scope transition (Saviq)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1256360
The other crashers are not reproducible anymore. However, we still have 
the systematic unity8 on stop crasher everytime you run the autopilot 
unity8 test suite.
-> QA decided to whitelist that one.

That's it for this week!
Cheers,
Didier
