simulated upgrade to ubuntu 14.04.2 would remove ubuntu-desktop and install unity8

It's 22:00 UTC - those looking at the issues have said nothing as yet. The chances of *us* at least getting a workable image to do even smoketests on so I can mark them as released is looking slim.

See some new images up - (Ubuntu

Xubuntu ?

all looking pretty good for xubuntu currently, place to see what the current state of affairs is

and for the reports from previous builds(2 in the last couple of days) hit the superseded button

Currently if anyone has time for some smoketesting, Kubuntu, Lubuntu could do with a bit of help.

Mythbuntu with loads

Hi there! I was wondering what the point is for upgrading say 14.04 to 14.04.2? Just very curious about these interim LTS releases. What do they offer?

[mc4man]

If one happened to use intel-linux-graphics-installer in 14.04.1 then they will find it not possible to install the lts-utopic mesa packages.
Easiest would be to just do a 14.04.2 install if that's what's desired. Otherwise some if not all of the Intel supplied packages would need to be replaced by the Ubuntu repo versions, preferably from trusty-updates & trusty-security (mesa versions usually have to match

Ex. here where the upgrade/instal was blocked
removed, either not needed or not absolutely needed atm, some can be re-installed later -

intel-linux-graphics-installer
i915-3.16-3.13-dkms
libosmesa6
mesa-vdpau-drivers
va-driver-all
intel-gpu-tools

packages used to replace Intel ones (amd64) all dl'ed, placed in folder & install via sudo dpkg -i *.deb
may not be complete elsewhere

libdrm2_2.4.56-1~ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libdrm-intel1_2.4.56-1~ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libdrm-nouveau2_2.4.56-1~ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libdrm-radeon1_2.4.56-1~ubuntu2_amd64.deb

libgl1-mesa-glx_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
libglapi-mesa_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb

libgles2-mesa_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
libopenvg1-mesa_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
libwayland-egl1-mesa_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
libxatracker2_10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.99.910-0ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb

If one had also installed wine on amd64 install then the task could be more complicated then worth as there would be some related :i386 packages involved

Well at least with my Intel mobile that can show issues, here Haswell (mobile), using the Intel Graphics Controller. (nvidia-prime remains generally useless except maybe for some gamers or non compositing installs

What can happen is log outs & restarts get slow or hang up. The culprit seem to be xserver-xorg-video-nouveau & to a much lesser extent ibus
Removing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau which is not needed when using Intel graphics resolves immediately, log outs are now 1/2 sec or so, restarts/shutdowns are good & quick

In regards to ibus - if you don't use it then better to turn off > System settings > Language Support > Keyboard Input method system > none
Also some ibus packages can be safely & gladly removed if desired -
ibus-gtk3
ibus-pinyin
ibus-table
python-ibus

[mc4man]

If one would like to be able to install devel packages in 14.04 then I'd suggest staying away from 14.04.2 & the mesa lts-utopic stack. There will be some packages not installable & in light of the available resources to fix things on Desktop installs not a great chance of prompt fixes. (or any fixes
