Update gnome-shell to 42.5

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-shell into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/42.5-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted gnome-shell (42.5-0ubuntu1) for jammy have finished running.

Thank you!

There is a new bugfix release 42.6 in the stable 42 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/42.6/NEWS

I verified the SRU by installing the gnome-shell from proposed, 42.5-0ubuntu1. The test succeeded.

I followed the test cases in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GNOMEShell.

For the test case 1, I couldn't notice any problem in any of the 4 sessions, with moving windows, tiling, application panel etc.

For the test case 2, I enabled all the extensions without error. To the best of my knowledge of their functionality, they behaved fine. I also installed Hexchat and confirmed that the tray icon showed up, so the Appindicator extension is working.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-shell has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 42.5-0ubuntu1
