Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3

thanks, this is so clear that I reinstalled 24.04-1.2 stable and it works fine indeed !
That's a clear regression. Now I'll go to gitlab look at the MR for the gallery app.

@gpatel-fr thanks!

After looking at the MRs, there is one (1) change since 2 years. I don't see anything else but it's not a small change, rather a collection of logically unrelated changes.

@peat_psuwit
should not a 'stable' branch (something like 24-04-1.x that IIRC exist in some other repos) be in the repo and changes be backported only after having seen some testing in the 'unstable' branch ?

well, there is a choice of error messages about undefined properties in gallery code.

Looking at the log with my FP5 back to stable 24.04-1.2 I see no such messages.
Messages about 'binding loop' whose fixing was one of the goal of the change.
I see one message about property of nulll but it's of 'isSelected' instead of 'show' and 'path'.

This morning after having tested that the new version gallery problem was indeed 'fixed' by returning to the previous stable, I wanted to upgrade to RC and again I see the lack of upgrade channels. For screenshot see https://forums.ubports.com/post/95155 . This may be a new problem, or not. I have never wanted to switch back and forth like that previously.

Edit: I restarted the phone again and the channels were back to normal. This is a transient problem.

Edit 2: checking again, the Update parameters screen is displaying 'Channel: candidate', the system state displays '1.2' and checking updates says that everything is up-to-date. This is a bit messed up

Edit 3: after 2 hours of trying of updating, failing, restarting, switching channel, restarting, failing, I finally discovered in a flash of insight into the minds of advanced developers that the update process is actually testing the update history, the things that are displayed below 'recent updates', and this case of getting RC and stable back and forth has never been really thought to be possible (after all, regressions are something that have never been seen for more than one time or two in all the eons of software development), and so unlocking the switch to RC again needed to delete the previous update history.
So I'm finally on RC3 again. Oups, edit 4: RC2

I was not able to use the Recorder

cancel that, it had absolutely nothing to do with the upgrade, it was just a problem in my phone configuration. Recorder works fine.

Unlike system components and some system apps, Gallery app is a Click application where updates are shipped from OpenStore. And said change has not been released to OpenStore yet, so I'm pretty sure it has not made it to 24.04-1.3.

I'll look into this problem in more detail. Since this is a regression, I'll try to fix this problem before the release of 24.04-1.3.

BTW this does not look normal: the version is not incremented while there is about 500 LOC added in the RC version.

BTW 2: I have done already 3 back and forth between 1.2 and 1.3 RC2 and I have trouble reproducing the problem, that is, I have seen the problem in my last reinstall of 1.2 . Color me baffled
