@Karl: > Are you after a fix for the released ubuntus? If it's possible to get it in as an SRU, that would be ideal. It is a "severe regression from the previous release of Ubuntu" (severe for Freeciv, not for the whole system). It affects "an application rather than critical infrastructure packages", although it's less clear that the patch will be "obviously safe".
As upstream, I'd love to not have to keep pointing people at this bug and the workaround (and get bad reviews in Software Centre because of it). It's most critical for Natty, where Unity is the default on the desktop. On Maverick I think it only affects the netbook edition by default (but we know people play Freeciv on netbooks). Fortunately, the workaround should be version-agnostic. However, if an SRU isn't possible, at a minimum, I think we should plan to get the workaround in Oneiric, in case we haven't worked out a proper fix by then. (Assuming it's not already too late to get a new version in Oneiric!) > We have 2.2.5 packaged in git, but I was holding off on 2.3 for a new upload (don't know if this is a sane idea or not tbh). Not sure. We're hoping 2.3.0 will go gold RSN (RC1 this weekend), but we've thought that before ;) It mainly depends when the window closes for Oneiric, I think. If 2.3.0 slips, I recommend you go to 2.2.7 (not yet released, also due RSN, but with higher confidence). I wouldn't bother with 2.2.6; while it has valuable fixes, it also has an embarrassing regression. (As does 2.2.5, actually.) > we would have to replace the freeciv binary with a wrapper script, or force people to use a .desktop file I think the .desktop fix would catch >90% of users, but a wrapper script would be better, obviously. > (i assume these can export environment pre launch). Should be able to change "Exec=freeciv-gtk2" to "Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= freeciv-gtk", or something like that, I'd expect. (Warning: completely unchecked.) > Additionally, does anyone know if SDL and XAW3D clients are affected, or if its just GTK? I wouldn't expect SDL to be affected, since it draws its own widgets with custom code, and appmenu won't be able to hook into it. Don't know about Xaw, and can't conveniently check right now (but I wouldn't hold up a Gtk patch for lack of an Xaw patch, personally). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/743265 Title: when using unity, the cities menu is not shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/appmenu-gtk/+bug/743265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
