** Description changed: - *** Problems with the default Bluetooth indicator on Xfce are caused by - a different, unrelated bug. See - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/1203888 *** + [Impact] - downgrading to the previous version, indicator- - sound_12.10.2daily13.04.12-0ubuntu1_amd64 from Raring allows the sound - indicator to function in Saucy. + * The indicator menu for sound not displaying is a major user interface + failure. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 - Package: indicator-sound 12.10.2+13.10.20130731-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-6.17-generic 3.10.3 - Uname: Linux 3.10.0-6-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.12-0ubuntu2 - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Sun Aug 4 12:20:02 2013 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-08-01 (367 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120801) - MarkForUpload: True - SourcePackage: indicator-sound - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + * The justification for making this upload is that the number of + workarounds proposed are actually damaging to system integrity as well + as allowing for shifts between desktop environment. + + * This patch resolves a conflict that will allow the menu to display. + + [Test Case] + + * Install stock Xubuntu 13.10. The indicator menu for sound should + fail to display when clicking on the sound icon. + + [Regression Potential] + + * There is a risk of further conflict between the gtk2 and gtk3 sound indicators. In previous releases the two versions were almost identical but this changed in Saucy (this is also the reason -gtk2 broke). In particular, there is a potential for the two indicators to use gsettings configuration keys in different ways which may lead to problems. Testing should be done on systems with both Unity and Xubuntu installed. + + * While Xubuntu is working on landing gtk3 indicators for 14.04 the landing of such for 13.10 now would be a massive change requiring approval by potentially the Technical Board. + + [Other Info] + + * In general Xubuntu users have been distressed over not having the indicator sound menu available which makes this an issue we would like to resolve expeditiously. + + * Xubuntu will need to adjust its website documentation slightly to + note that users must select "Download updates while installing" during + an installation from the LiveCD to ensure this fix is picked up to avoid + a broken interface experience.
