SRU 3.28 latest git to bionic

Why not coordinate with upstream to release mutter 3.28.4? That would be easier to track changes between upstream and downstream?

Amr, we have tried that, but it doesn't look like upstream will commit to releasing 3.28.4 in time for Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. Nor is upstream willing to let the Ubuntu developers handle the 3.28.4 release.

To the SRU team: the diff might look hard to review - you might like to try from git (debcheckout https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/mutter -b ubuntu/bionic), or by `quilt push'ing all the patches and then manually diffing the result.

I did a quick test with the latest daily Ubuntu Budgie bionic and our window animations are broken - correct me if I'm wrong but the dailies contain the proposed repo thus would include this version of mutter.

I've updated the tag to verification-failed pending a further bit of investigation and I'll comment further.

You'll see the broken animations such as opening and closing the Menu popup, alt+tab switching between windows - the switcher animation goes awry.

Note - in 18.10/19.04 the same broken animation issues are observed - we "work around" the issue by switching off animations for new installs. Can't do this on budgie desktop for bionic users without an update to budgie-desktop as well. I've raised the issue upstream budgie-desktop and I imagine they will look at this as and when they migrate to GNOME 3.32 April/May timescale.

ok - I've run a git bisect on https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/commits/upstream/3.28.x

I don't pretend to actually understand what that means or how to interpret a possible fix for budgie animations - but at least its something to focus on.

@fossfreedom,

Mh, not sure we wanted to revert this on mutter tbh, but I see the problem.

GNOME Shell had to apply something related to allow this change with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/102 although this seems to be something different.

Do you have any time to experiment something?

Sure. In and around beta testing can compile/revert commits etc.

The above commit was just an optional optimization (that I personally pushed Carlos to revive and land). It doesn't fix anything in particular so if you need to revert it to get over the line then I think that's OK.

Sorry - I havent had the time yet to see what happens with this patch (revert_volume_calc) on Disco - but for bionic, this revert patch resolves the animation issues for bionic

Note - I couldn't get a simple git revert of the commit to apply - too many changes in this file I guess with the other cherry-picked commits.

fossfreedom,

Since this is a blocking issue please also report it to the GNOME developers at:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues

It would obviously be best if we could get a proper fix without any reverts.

Thanks Daniel - I have raised the issue here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/536

Bug #1822857 Alt+Tab in gnome-shell produces visual artefacts when a child window is open

Daniel - I have a tentative budgie specific fix that works on UB 19.04 - so should in theory work on 18.04 + this version of mutter.

Just trying to get some feedback from budgie upstream at the moment. Assuming if OK, then will need to SRU to 19.04/18.10 & 18.04

fossfreedom,

Thanks. That's going to get confusing if we use this bug for budgie SRUs to multiple releases, when this bug is meant to be about mutter on bionic only. Could you please open (or pick an existing) bug in launchpad for the budgie fix?

okey-dokey - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/budgie-desktop/+bug/1824102

Ok, so since this is a specific issue, and can be tracked for budgie I assume we can go back marking this verified and fix for budgie is coming, right?

Umm... as long as mutter doesnt get released before the budgie SRU!

Probably safer to leave as is until the budgie SRU is agreed.

Note. Havent yet tested on 18 04. Only 19.04

Ok, we can wait few days more.
But please try to get the SRU for budgie ASAP since we've some priority issues to fix for gnome-shell bionic users that are only blocked by this.

Since I see that fix for budgie landed in disco and the SRU package is in queue, I think we can mark this as verified.

I don't see how budgie being in the SRU queue for bionic meets fossfreedom's request of "as long as mutter doesnt get released before the budgie SRU!". If it does in your opinion please explain it to me.

If the mutter package is incompatible with the budgie package currently in bionic, then this is verification-failed. A new mutter upload will be required to add Breaks: against the version of budgie that it's incompatible with.

That sounds like the right thing to do. I'll upload with that.

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Both budgie and gnome-shell are in proposed now and this is verified for mutter and both shell.

confirmed that the new mutter also tries to uplift the budgie-desktop version.

Tested the new mutter with the 4 budgie SRU's and all is ok.

Now clarified statuses properly :)

Can you speed up publishing fixed gnome-shell to bionic-updates

The verification of the Stable Release Update for mutter has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
