[lubuntu-devel] Testing Lubuntu Alternate i386 version 20160727

[Nio Wiklund]

Thanks for this test report Ian,

Please add and submit it as a test result at the qa testing tracker too 
:-) It helps our release manager and also other testers to identify what 
is tested, and what stills needs to be tested.

The report at the testing tracker can be very brief.

-o-

Please describe the bug concerning the keys for quotation marks with 
more details, for example language, affected hardware and software, and 
how to reproduce it. Have you installed the language and keyboard 
completely and correctly?

It it very important that someone else can reproduce alias confirm it. 
Otherwise the developers will ignore it.

You can do this at Launchpad, activated via a command line in a terminal 
window in the affected operating system

ubuntu-bug package-name
apport-bug package-name

(ubuntu-bug is a symbolic link to apport-bug).

where you replace package-name with the real package name where we think 
the bug hides. For example, if it only affects ruby, maybe you should 
use the name of the ruby package, that you have installed.

(You need a user id at Launchpad in order to log in and report the bug.)

You find more details in the manual

man ubuntu-bug

Best regards
Nio
