Desktop Team Updates - Monday 7th March 2022

  • joined a Canonical engineering sprint in Frankfurt
  • sponsored some unity logo version updates
  • fixed gedit failing to build on s390x
  • helped with the gstreamer stable update for focal
  • sponsored a SRU for the oem team
  • created a MIR for libqrtr-glib needed to handle qualcom modems
  • investigated a build issue on the canary ISO
  • upload to pipewire-media-session change from Daniel to not set pulseaudio and jack by default since we still use pulseaudio as a sound server. It should fix the sounds settings not being correctly restored on login. Those who want to use re-enable the feature should create an empty file /etc//pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio (and with-jack)
  • updated pipewire to the current stable version by merging from Debian
  • sponsored TLP changes from OEM to remove the conflict with power-profiles-daemon, now it will not try to change the performance profile if the GNOME service is active
  • updated the thunderbird stable snap to 91.6.2
  • cherry picked changes for OWE wifi settings issues
  • removed gnome shell extensions which needs to be update for the GNOME serie since those are one of the blockers for proposed migration
