Freeze exception filed as bug 538411. * Fixed the Firefox icon in ubiquity-slideshow and merged the updated Kubuntu slideshow branch. ==== usb-creator ==== * Fixed a race in usb-creator that was preventing partitions from being shown sometimes. * Looked into 269786 (suppressing nautilus windows in usb-creator) some more. The options are seemingly limited to either mounting partitions in hidden directories or telling nautilus via gconf to not automount *anything*. * Rework partition mounting so that it doesn't fail if the partition was mounted between dbus calls. * Don't write usb-creator-helper's log to /root (LP: #461064). * Somewhat fix progress reporting. * Provide a format confirmation dialog (LP: #443330). * Error out of formatting if we're unable to unmount all of the partitions (LP: #507420). * Provide feedback via a spinning cursor and disabled format button while formatting (LP: #457737). * Unmount the partition at the end of install using usb-creator-helper rather than umount as a regular user to work around a udisks bug. * Handle device property changes (synthesizing a remove and add). * Pulse the progress bar while flushing changes to disk and installing the bootloader. * And lots more small changes. ==== Wubi ==== * Small fixes to get it working in lucid. === Gary Lasker === * Continued software-center bug fixes and triage. * Lots of triage, targeting and prioritizing bugs for Beta 2.
