[Dx-packages] [Bug 1628260] [NEW] Upgrade libglew package to also include libglew2
Public bug reported: Currently glew package only includes versions up to 1.13, but the latest release is 2.0. As a developer, it would be best to have libglew2 and libglew2-dev available on Ubuntu. See http://glew.sourceforge.net/ for more information about the new (and previous) version(s). ** Affects: glew (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: upgrade-software-version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to glew in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628260 Title: Upgrade libglew package to also include libglew2 Status in glew package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently glew package only includes versions up to 1.13, but the latest release is 2.0.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1618886] Re: unity-gtk-module.service is racy; session services don't stop if session terminates
This isn't quite enough in this situation. - Log in over SSH or in a vt (so there is a logind session alive for your user) - Log into the same user in Unity - Simulate an Xorg crash (pkill -f -SEGV Xorg) - Log back in You don't have GTK_MODULES set properly. The previous gnome-session is lingering. To fix that, something like comment #3 is needed. Such as looping over all 'active' units that are PartOf graphical-session.target and stopping them all. gnome-session needs a fix to its ExecStopPost to not kill the one we just started. I'll upload this and it can be reviewed in the queue. ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Triaged ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Assignee: Martin Pitt (pitti) => Iain Lane (laney) ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Assignee: Martin Pitt (pitti) => Iain Lane (laney) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity-gtk-module in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618886 Title: unity-gtk-module.service is racy; session services don't stop if session terminates Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity-gtk-module package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Sometimes on session start unity-gtk-module.service runs too late or something, and $GTK_MODULES does not include "unity".

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1612767] Re: Drop appmenu-qt5 from default installations

The normal methods (which are getting called by Qt) remain empty stubs. 2) It is preventing applications from using GTK+ theme integration, such as dialogs (I reported this as bug 1378935, but there is no easy way to fix that). 3) It is not working with Qt Quick applications (because it expects a QtWidgets window; see also bug 1323853). The standard implementation will work with i.e. Qt Quick Controls 2 using apps (implemented in https://codereview.qt-project.org/142733). 4) It breaks other environments such as Plasma or GNOME when installed: see bug 1434516, bug 1307619. 5) Finally, it is mostly unmaintained: most patches since 2014 are authored by me, however I see no point continuing to develop that code.

After we do that, I will remove the appmenu-qt5 recommendation from indicator-appmenu (that is the only package referring to it).

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1436405] Re: Duplicate menu (both unity and in-app) for Qt5 apps
The patch from that linked codereview was applied in qtbase 5.6.1+dfsg- 3ubuntu5~1 (thanks Timo for taking care of it). ** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to appmenu-qt5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436405 Title: Duplicate menu (both unity and in-app) for Qt5 apps Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in appmenu-qt5 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: At least konsole and khelpcenter suffers from this bug: Start the app inside the default Unity environment (not under KDE). Notice that the app's menubar appears twice. Once in the upper row of the whole desktop, as expected and as it is for every Gnome app. And also inside the application's window, wasting precious screen real estate. In Utopic, at least for konsole, I'm quite sure that the menu wasn't duplicated inside the app, it only appeared on the desktop's top Unity bar.
