Attached debdiff between trusty-updates and SRU. ** Branch unlinked: lp:~unity-team/unity/trusty-1328677
** Patch added: "debdiff between unity_7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1 and unity_7.2.4+14.04.20141217-0ubuntu1" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1328677/+attachment/4289426/+files/unity_7.2.4%2B14.04.20141217-0ubuntu1.debdiff ** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + The unity first_run.stamp file should not be in XDG_CACHE_HOME. As it is a _cache_, it can be ephemeral. Rather, it should be in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Once the keyboard shortcut list, for example, has been presented, I don't need to be told about it again, even if I need to purge my ~/.cache directory. This is a problem at our site, where XDG_CACHE_HOME is stored on a temporary filesystem, to cut down on the tremendous amount of useless network traffic between workstations and the user's file server. As a result, users now have to learn about Unity keyboard shortcuts on every single login. - Relevant info: + [ Test Case ] - unity: - Installed: 7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu2 - Candidate: 7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu2 0 - 500 http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 7.2.0+14.04.20140423-0ubuntu1.2 0 - 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages - 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages + On a non-fresh install, log in to the Unity desktop.
