Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3
-
Could you describe a bit more what happens exactly ?
I tried to create and populate a photo album on my Fairphone 5 running under RC2 and it was not straightforward but I finally succeeded.
Do you have any error message displayed on the screen ? In the logs (journalctl -b in the terminal or better with Ssh) ?
And are you sure that it's a 1.3 specific problem ? are you managing so many photos album that you are creating new ones with every sub-version of Ubuntu Touch ? (I'm asking because in 6 months of use of UT I was not even aware of photo albums
) -
@gpatel-fr A few weeks ago, I created three albums in the “Gallery” app and added some photos. No problem—it was self-explanatory.
A few days ago, I tried to add more photos from the Camera app to the albums. Gallery -> Albums -> Plus -> Select photo -> OK (checkmark), but the photo(s) aren’t being added to the album. No error messages. Nothing!
Maybe it has something to do with the update to 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.
