> Verify that they can all be enabled without showing an error.

IIRC the original request was to ensure that the extensions actually work (ie. a basic smoke test), not just that they can be enabled without error. I'll adjust your Test Plan accordingly.

Really the Test Plan should be approved once by the SRU team and then documented on the wiki, so that we don't bikeshed each invididual one every SRU. I suggested this in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/scope-of-gnome-mru/18041/48 but there doesn't seem to be any progress on this. So sorry to be bikeshedding this here, but until those remaining steps are done, that's how it is.

Hello Marco, 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/42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 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.

I successfully verified gnome-shell42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1, in particular that extensions could be enabled/disabled, uninstalled/installed and are working as expected.
I also performed some exploratory testing of the features that have been touched by this update didn't find any regression.

Marking as verification-done.
