[lubuntu-users] [lubuntu-devel] Fwd: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Final Beta released

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Ian,

you could not burn B2 onto a CD. it is oversize..... Boss has been told.

Keyboard issue has various work arrounds ... I chose the one the command
sequence that the installers are failing at. It has the advantage of
invoking the step to install those steps. It may be by having both bugs
resolved by one method that assisted the devs to confirm where the issue
occurs...

I'm proud to be a lubunteer and very proud of our lubunteers, they spot and
report things.... This was spotted on 1st on two different installers and
we found a work around for both issues. I know I do alt install testing,
but others do nag about Ubiquity etc.... As it happens, a lubunteer was 1st
to mention such a bug.

Regards,

Phill.
