Hi All,

In the heat of the moment, I neglected to send this message to pretty much
everyone. Here it is, just to keep you informed...

Hi Nio & Walter,

Note: If someone is testing an iso, should it be a requirement that they
run Software Updater, just in case they spot bugs that have been recently
fixed?

Walter: I agree - only reproducible problems should be logged as bugs. Is
this page the right page for me to file bugs - https://bugs.launchpad.net/
lubuntu ?

Nio,
I've been doing more testing. I'm currently running memtest86+ to make sure
the hardware is OK. It has been OK in the past, I'm just checking. Will do
a bit more testing and then see what reproducible bugs I have spotted and
then file them on the above mentioned launchpad page. A friend wants me to
type up and print a letter for him tomorrow. Will see how that turns out on
this test system :)

Yes.

Started SPM again & it opened OK.

A mystery.

Maybe the hplip libraries are not yet updated for Yakkety.

The crash information mentioned a .py file. That file extension is what a
Windows developer would give to a Python script file. Not a big Python
expert but I believe Python 3 is a breaking change from v2 to v3. On my
Ubuntu laptop I get this:-

ian at turing:~$ which python python2 python3
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python3
ian at turing:~$

So if someone is doing a #!/usr/bin/python in a script requiring a
particular version (e.g. 3) then they use this as the first line of their
script:-
#!/usr/bin/python3

OK, memtest86+ 5.01 has finished testing the Netbook and there are no
memory errors.

Off to do more testing :)

BW,


Ian
