Public bug reported:
Impact
======
Ptyxis is a new terminal app that is used by default in Fedora 41. Ptyxis
allows switching between different palettes. One part of palettes is the
background color which did not change because of interaction with a patch for
vte2.91 carried by Debian and Ubuntu. This has been worked around in ptyxis
47.4.
In particular, it was intended for the desktop background to be purple
(aubergine) as has been done for Ubuntu's default terminal app for many
years.
What Could Go Wrong
===================
ptyxis has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu 24.10. Therefore, it is only
installed by people who specifically sought it out.
This is a one-line targetted fix which only affects the ptyxis
background.
Every Ubuntu desktop flavor includes a terminal other than ptyxis by
default so even if ptyxis were completely broken by this update, it is
easy for a user to switch to a different terminal to continue working.
Other Info
==========
Ptyxis is not yet in GNOME Core but it is expected to happen in a future GNOME
release. Therefore, it seems that the best way to fix this issue for Ubuntu
24.10 is to cherry-pick the specific fixes we need rather than upgrade ptyxis
to the new bugfix release.
