eta on glib 2.64 ??

Asked by kenjo

so I have this error
(totem-video-thumbnailer:82700): GLib-ERROR **: 22:05:18.263: Failed to set scheduler settings: Operation not permitted

48417 sched_getattr(48417, {size=56, sched_policy=SCHED_OTHER, sched_flags=0, sched_nice=0, sched_priority=0, sched_runtime=0, sched_deadline=0, sched_period=0}, 56, 0) = 0
48421 sched_setattr(48421, {size=56, sched_policy=SCHED_OTHER, sched_flags=0, sched_nice=0, sched_priority=0, sched_runtime=0, sched_deadline=0, sched_period=0, ...} <unfinished ...>
48421 <... sched_setattr resumed> , 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

Think this is fixed in GLib 2.63.6
 - #2039 sched_setattr() still can cause EPERM through natural causes

Which Ubuntu release are you talking about?

Ubuntu is no rolling release. This means that package versions usually are not updated to higher versions than the one initially provided with a certain Ubuntu release.

Newer package versions are provided only with newer Ubuntu releases.
For Ubuntu 20.04 (currently in development) there is already work in progress for glib2.0 version 2.64.0-1

There are exceptions to the above-menioned rule (no upgrade to a higher version), e.g. for a limited list of packages like kernel, timezone information, Firefox, and in case that severe weaknesses and/or bugs in a package justify an upgrade.

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details about the processes around upgrading packages in already-published Ubuntu releases or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for the process of backporting the newest version that is available in the development version of Ubuntu to an older release.

sorry its 20.04.

I could not find any information on what the plan was for what version was going to be used and thought it was overkill to report a bug that probably is already fixed so I just wanted to know how long I need to wait or if I have to try to upgrade myself.

But if work is already ongoing I just wait for the new version and if the problem persist file bug then.

Remark: it might still take a few hours until that new version is replicated to your local repository mirror Server.
