I found a similar problem at 1404 . if set console=ttys0 in cmdline , VT ioctls 
will fail and can't  switch user(Can't log in the original user) .

Hi all,


I've noticed in Xenial that VT ioctls that LightDM is using (VT_GETSTATE, 
VT_ACTIVATE, VT_WAITACTIVE) on /dev/console now seem to be failing (errno 5 - 
Input/output error). If I switch to /dev/tty0 they seem to work (this is what 
GDM and logind are using).


Two questions:

- Does anyone know what has changed that means these no longer work?

- What is the correct way to do these VT calls? Every time i try and work this 
out there seems to be no documentation anywhere and reading the kernel leaves 
me more confused.

Unity panel storage devices can't be hidden

[Jason Straight]

I work with a lot of HDD's that have over 20+ partitions (Stupid 
hardware vendor. Not my doing), and it's annoying to no longer have 
settings that used to exist.


One used to be able to disable devices showing up on the panel in cssm, 
but not any more.


Blacklisting won't work, as it's many drives (22 just on Friday).

Every time I plug a drive in, there goes every icon on my panel, smashed 
to the bottom.


Why is it that with most DE's based on Gnome that progress is regress? 
Every new version seems to mean less features.

Re: Does GNOME Software run lintian against third-party debs before installing them?

[Robert Ancell]

It does not, please file a bug if you think that is required.

Third Ubuntu Xenial Xerus test rebuilds (all components, all architectures)

[Matthias Klose]

The third test rebuild of Xenial Xerus was started on April 01 (no joke) for all
architectures, all components (it is finished besides some pending builds for 
powerpc and armhf).  Compared to the last test rebuild this sees some new build 
failures introduced by new upstream versions during the feature freeze (e.g. glibc).


Results (please also look at the superseded builds) can be found at

http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20160401-xenial.html

For arm64 and armhf the gcc-5 packages are based on the Linaro 5-2016.03
snapshot.

Additional build failures for packages in xenial-proposed (not yet in xenial)
can be found at http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/

Please help fixing the build failures.

  Matthias

A lot of gnome-terminal users dropped gnome-terminal and switched to
roxterm for good reasons, there are (perhaps were) several differences
between those terminal emulations.

Auto login didn't work after installation

[Franklin Weng]

Hi,


I'm trying Kubuntu 16.04 Beta2.

I checked "auto login" when installing, but after installation it still
asked for password in the SDDM login screen.

Then I went to the SDDM settings.  Auto login options checked, and I
checked it again then auto login worked.

Please take a look at it.


Thanks,
Franklin

ROXTerm is just re-using the VTE terminal widget that was written as
part of GNOME Terminal, of course, and VTE has supported this for a
very long time.

Maybe you should start thanking the bloatware desktop environments
instead of bashing them all the time...?  ;-)
