I successfully completed all 3 test cases with gnome-shell 44.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 23.04.
One GNOME Shell extension, workrave, does not work but it also does not work with the original gnome-shell (44.0-2ubuntu3) for Ubuntu 23.04. I suspect this was broken between 44 Beta (where it did work) and 44 RC where the upstream developers removed more GTK3 code. I will be reporting that issue separately in Launchpad, but it needs to be fixed on the workrave side and it is not a regresssion caused by this update. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-lunar ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-lunar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020277 Title: Update gnome-shell to 44.1 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Lunar: Fix Committed Status in gnome-shell source package in Mantic: Fix Released Bug description: Impact ------ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 44 series. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/44.1/NEWS It is also believed to fix at least one crash issue reported as LP: #2016007 but without a clear test case, that bug is not included in this SRU verification. Test Case --------- Complete all the test cases at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GNOMEShell Other Info ---------- gnome-shell provides the GNOME version number for the Settings app About page, as of Ubuntu 22.10 (in earlier Ubuntu releases, this was provided by gnome-desktop/gnome-desktop3) This update requires mutter 44.1 (LP: #2020225). This was done with bumped dependencies in debian/control. gnome-shell 44.1 could be run with mutter 44.1 but it led to build test failures. Also, mixing different versions of mutter & gnome-shell is not supported upstream. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- GNOME Shell is the heart of the Ubuntu desktop experience. A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their desktop version of Ubuntu. Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.
