This is a request to update mutter to version >= 3.36.8 to fix various issues that have been fixed upstream.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1700#note_1058654 for the original mutter issue report that will be fixed by 3.36.8.

Thanks for creating the bug. If you would like to track the status of your window-resize issue though then we will need another launchpad bug about that.

3.36.9 has now been released upstream :)

[Christian Rauch (christianrauch)]

I am a bit confused about the version scheme here. My "About" page in the settings says I am already on GNOME Version 3.36.8, but the mutter version is 3.36.7 and the gnome-shell version is 3.36.4.

How is this "GNOME Version" determined? Shouldn't all the GNOME packages be on the same version 3.36.8 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/tree/3.36.8, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/tree/3.36.8, ...)?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The "About" page should be ignored on Ubuntu because it displays only the version of the gnome-desktop3-data package.

We don't have the luxury of ensuring all packages are always the same version so you should check your package versions instead of using the About page.

[Christian Rauch (christianrauch)]

It would be helpful to also update the packages "mutter-dbgsym" and "libmutter-6-0-dbgsym" to the corresponding point/patch versions.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Those will be generated as soon as mutter will hit proposed.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello Christian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mutter into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

[Christian Rauch (christianrauch)]

I updated via focal-proposed to mutter and gnome-shell version 3.36.9 (3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) but unfortunately my original issue reported at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1700 still persists.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Christian, please submit another bug for the specific issue, so here we can just track the update to 3.36.9 (and I've reproduced it once running on pure mutter).

However, for some reason I can't either run your test case in latest mutter.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

No regression noticed so far.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for mutter has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

Hello,

Just a note that mutter 3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 has introduced a regression in a VMware Horizon VDI environment, where gdm fails to start, and has taken out several hundred VDIs.

I am tracking the issue in bug 1930359.

The plan is to make a test package with the patches from bug 1905825 reverted before we start digging into the point release patches from 1919143.

Thanks,
Matthew
