We're nearing April 13th, the release date for Lubuntu 17.04. We need your help
in testing Lubuntu 17.04 so we can release on Thursday.

The Lubuntu team needs help testing to make sure that the ISO boots and installs
the system correctly, and can reboot into a Lubuntu desktop without any critical
errors.

We strongly recommend that you use real hardware, not virtual machines. While
virtual machines are useful, complete testing includes watching out for edge cases.

To install Lubuntu, grab an image, write it to a USB drive (or burn it to a DVD)
and follow the instructions listed on the ISO QA tracker[1]. When you begin
testing, mark the test case as "In Progress" and after following the
instructions, make sure to edit your result and indicate if it was successful or
if you ran into any problems.

If you see that the images are already tested, don't let that discourage you. We
would like to see more than one successful result for each test case, so feel
free to test it again. Also, don't be afraid to help out any other flavors that
are missing submissions -- the process for doing this is pretty universal.

If you find any new bugs that haven't been reported on the release notes for
Final Beta, please file a bug report and add it to the release notes.

Please watch out and heavily test the following two things:

 - We have a new LXPanel, please make sure it works properly.
 - Ubuntu has switched the underlying DNS resolver to systemd-resolved, so
please test that DNS works properly on all of your systems.

Lastly, I'll be working on the release notes[2] within the next couple of days.
Please don't be afraid to correct any problems you might find.

Happy testing!
