Unseeded universe needs *you*
Greetings, With the seeded world pretty much finalised for release, you might be finding yourself with copious amounts of free time. Instead of twiddling your thumbs, how about helping out the (unseeded*) universe? We have just over a day until the Unseeded Universe Final Freeze, which happens tomorrow (24/04/12). You might like to Fix / triage RC bugs that were reported in Debian but aren't known to be fixed in Ubuntu yet. http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/bugs/rcbugs/ Fix FTBFS discovered by the recent archive rebuild. If these can be fixed by syncing in new revisions from Debian that include new features then the release team are usually willing to accommodate. http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20120328-precise.html Review the sponsorship list for things which we should squeeze into Universe for the release. http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ I'll try and make myself available for sponsorship and release questions in #ubuntu-motu over the course of today and tomorrow. I hope others will join me. YEAH.

Re: Default layout of the GNOME Classic session

In earlier releases we had the straciatella session, but we don't have this any more. The session says GNOME, and so should _be_ a GNOME session, not another Ubuntu session. Perhaps it might make more sense to change the label than to change the software it describes? I've written about this before. I'd much rather call it Ubuntu Classic. This is Ubuntu, after all. If I were a 10.04 user and I couldn't use indicators anymore, I would certainly consider that to be a regression. Right, I would prefer renaming it instead of removing functionality. The whole reason I want this Ubuntu Classic mode is to retain functionality. -Kees -- Kees Cook -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Re: Missing File
This morning I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu 11.10 to the Ubuntu 12.04 beta2-desktop-amd64, which did not work. I went into the Terminal and typed in this Line. ''sudo do-release-upgrade d;'' sudo do-release-upgrade -d This command will only work after Ubuntu 12.04 has been released, which means after 26th April, 2012. I tried this several times, both using and not using the - between words like it is Printed in the PDF I downloaded from the Ubuntu Web Site last evening. I also tried it with and with out the ; at the end of the Line. The only result I got was a Line that said no upgrades found''. I know the File has been released, because I downloaded a copy of it last evening also. I do prefer to use the Automatic Upgrade, because it has worked so well on Ubuntu before, and saves so much time re-installing and configuring Software. If you want to upgrade now, before the official release, then you can do the following: sudo apt-get update gksudo update-manager -d The update-manager window will open up. It will show the 12.04 is available. Click the upgrade button to upgrade to the 12.04 beta version. Please direct such Ubuntu support questions to the ubuntu-users mailing list.

Excessive swapping with 1GB of memory - UBUNTU 12.04 daily build
I believe I've found the solution to excessive swapping with 1GB of memory. There is a script /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode that is setting too low values to VM tunable kernel parameters when on AC power: dirty_background_ratio=5 dirty_ratio=10 The line 69 of the script is the following: write_values 0 10 5 500 Changing the line with these values resulted in being able to run the system with 1GB without swap partition and good performance even with many large processes running. write_values 0 90 20 500 This sets the VM subsystem with these values: dirty_background_ratio=20 dirty_ratio=90 I think it needs some attention.
