ubiquity (2.9.20) precise; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* Restore old fallback code in case /cdrom/
exist (LP: #557388).
* Fix some more uses of deprecated python-apt APIs.
* ubiquity-dm: Try openbox after openbox-lubuntu (LP: #888107).
* Thomson SA is now called Technicolor SA (LP: #856992).
* Limit maximum length of username editing widgets to 32 (LP: #831319).
* UTF-8-encode the syslog message when a geoname lookup fails, since it
might include non-ASCII characters entered by the user (LP: #928891).
* Run test suite under xvfb-run by default when running it from the
command line. 'tests/run --no-xvfb' inhibits this behaviour for cases
where it's useful to see the UIs constructed by the test suite.
* Stop manually inserting newlines in hostname and username errors. GTK+
3 seems to do a reasonable job of wrapping these by itself now.
* Port the user page from GtkTable to GtkGrid, so that we get sensible
height-
* Internationalise hostname and username validation errors (LP: #784825).
[ Mario Limonciello ]
* Have two separate failsafe attempts for 'fbdev' and 'vesa'. It's
possible that /dev/fb0 will exist but be backed by a VGA framebuffer
causing X to exit non-zero.
[ Stéphane Graber ]
* Use the Xubuntu wallpaper when available. (LP: #936572)
* Detect bogus DNS servers and ignore them. (LP: #760884)
* Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
1.122ubuntu5, choose-mirror 2.39ubuntu4.
