I did all the tests, and everything seems to be correct.

Hi, Brian and Marco,

I've tested the mutter 3.36.6-1ubuntu0.20.04.2 (from "focal-proposed" repository).

Now, all works fine! Without problems.
Thanks for your attention and work! :)

[Harm van Bakel (hvbakel)]

No issues here either on AMD and Intel. Thankfully this also finally fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968

[Tim Passingham (tim-8aw3u04umo)]

I am on focal, with the 'developer options' pre-release option ticked (and repos re-reloaded). I'm not seeing any proposed updates. Is it available to the public or not?

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Sure, but you need to enable Proposed repositories, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

Remember to disable them once updated, as otherwise you may get earlier updates that have still to be fully tested.

[Cristiano Fraga G. Nunes (cfgnunes)]

Now, I'm waiting for the SRU team release this fix to "-updates". :)

[Tim Passingham (tim-8aw3u04umo)]

Marco - as I said, that is what I have done, but I do not see the focal-proposed updates for mutter. In fact I see no proposed updates at all.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Cristiano, Tim:

This needs some days as all the bugs listed in https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html (look for mutter in focal) needs to be marked as "verified" and prove that they don't cause regressions.

You can help testing the missing bug if you want (It's https://launchpad.net/bugs/1558886) :)

[Tim Passingham (tim-8aw3u04umo)]

Hi. My mistake. I had, some time ago, needed to install one package from focal-proposed, and to do this had turned off letting synaptic etc from showing all proposed updates by adding a file in /etc/apt/preference.d. I'd forgotten about this.

sudo aptitude -t focal-proposed

showed that mutter updates did indeed exist, so I manually installed mutter/focal-proposed and gir1.2-mutter-6/focal-proposed (which each installed one other file).

So far all my testing has been good - no cut/copy/paste errors.
