[Bug 1903329] Re: SRU the current 2.48.9 stable update
Hi Brian I've succesfully installed and tested the `librsvg2-*` v2.48.9-1ubuntu0.20.04.1 packages on focal and can confirm that they work as expected for me, meaning i.a. that the bug I suffered from in the previous v2.48.7 is fixed. I've used the CLI `rsvg-convert` as well as the R package rsvg[1] (which uses the C bindings provided by `librsvg2-dev`) to convert SVG images to PDF. Everything was fine, no regression as far as I can tell. Thank you very much, Oliver, Brian and everyone else involved for the SRU work!

[Bug 1903329] Re: SRU the current 2.48.9 stable update
** Description changed: * Impact That's the current GNOME stable update, which fixes a number of issues, including a regression[1] since librsvg 2.40.x which was shipped in Ubuntu 16.04. The NEWS file[2] summarizes the relevant changes between Ubuntu 20.04's current librsvg 2.48.7 (that version was also introduced by an SRU back in July[3]) and the current version 2.48.9. The complete list of changes is available on GNOME GitLab[4]. * Test case The update is part of GNOME stable updates[5]. Smoke testing by opening SVG images with eog or importing them with gimp can be performed to ensure there are no regressions. * Regression potential This is a bugfix-only stable micro-release, however librsvg is a core component with a number of reverse dependencies. A combination of autopkgtests and manual smoke testing to try and detect SVG rendering issues should be performed. * Notes about this report This is my first SRU request (and at the same time my first launchpad bug report). I'm not really familiar with the whole SRU process which is why I first asked about it on Ubuntu's official discourse forum[6]. Canonical's Sebastien Bacher encouraged me to open this ticket. I've copied over some parts of the last librsvg SRU ticket[3]. I hope this is fine.

[Bug 1813441] Re: Can no longer drag and drop files between desktop and applications
> We are somewhat trapped. It's a choice between using the old version of nautilus forever with bugs and incompatibilities, or the new version of nautilus without desktop support. Those are not good choices but they are all we have now. This is not a problem created by, or unique to Ubuntu. That seems not quite accurate. Of course, using the whole GNOME 3 desktop incl. latest Nautilus is the way to go for Ubuntu. The absence of proper "desktop support" is unfortunate. Also sad: The current state of the official replacement for Nautilus' desktop support, the GNOME Shell extension "Desktop Icons", is pretty premature (still limited keyboard support etc.). BUT! 1. Why does Ubuntu force its users to stick with an outdated version of the GNOME Shell extension "Desktop Icons"? Ubuntu ships the extension via the DEB package `gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons` which *cannot* be removed without also removing the packages `ubuntu-desktop` and `ubuntu-desktop-minimal`. This completely sucks. Because of the pre- installed extension DEB package, one cannot install/update the latest upstream version of the extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/ 2. Why doesn't Canonical assign some of its developer ressources to improving the "Desktop Icons" extension? This would not only benefit The Ubuntu ecosystem but every Linux distro shipping the GNOME 3 desktop. The sources are found here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons --- For the time being, Ubuntu users can use the following workaround to get the latest version of the "Desktop Icons" extension which already brings limited drag-and-drop support and keyboard support: Ensure you have 7-Zip, Git and Meson installed (e.g. via the Debian packages `p7zip`, `git` and `meson`), then run the following in a terminal to update the extension: cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions # backup the DEB-packaged extension if not already done before and delete it if [ ! -s desktop-icons_bckp.7z ] ; then sudo 7z a desktop-icons_bckp.7z desktop-icons@csoriano/* ; fi rm -R desktop-icons@csoriano # build and copy the extension from git master branch git clone g...@gitlab.gnome.org:World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons.git ~/desktop-icons cd ~/desktop-icons ./export-zip.sh unzip desktop-ic...@csoriano.zip -d desktop-icons@csoriano sudo mv desktop-icons@csoriano /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ # clean up rm -R ~/desktop-icons -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813441 Title: Can no longer drag and drop files between desktop and applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1813441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
