Hi Aere,<div><br></div><div>the quiet scream you just heard was from me as I could not approve all the i386 ISO's due to lack of testing being reported <img src="cid:33F@goomoji.gmail" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" goomoji="33F"> Thanks for taking the time to test, but could I ask that you do log your results on the ISO Tracker. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Testing and reporting is pretty straight forward... Please have a read of this link [1].

<div><br></div><div>We are now back to 'Dailies' in the next 24 hours as our Lubuntu images that were 'on hold', will re build as per the times on [1].</div><div><br></div><div>For an over view as to what got tested and the results for Beta 1, have a read of [3].</div>

I tried out the Lubuntu 13.04 live CD (desktop i386 32-bit) on
most of the machines in my test-bed, and it worked on all of
them. Some of my machines only have a CD drive, so it's good it
still fits on a CD, rather than having to use a DVD. <br>
<br>
I noticed a few minor things:<br>
<br>
The Intel graphics on my Dell Dimension machine seems to have
deteriorated since 12.10, on the 13.04. There are choppy
color-gradients. I don't know if this gets corrected when it is
actually installed, or by the final release. <br>
<br>
When the Intel graphics is bypassed (using a Nvidia graphics
card), the graphics is attractive again. <br>
<br>
The system profiler appears to have the same problem as the prior
release, namely, you get presented with a bunch of empty dialog
boxes which you have to dismiss. <br>
<br>
I tried it in the following machines:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>HP Vectra, 450 megahertz, 512 megabytes RAM</li>
<li>Compaq p33 (933 megahertz), 512 megabytes RAM<br>
</li>
<li>Dell GX240, 1-Gig. RAM, 1.5 Gigahertz, Nvidia graphics card</li>
<li>Dell GX260, 1-Gig. RAM, 2.0 Gigahertz, Nvidia graphics card</li>
<li>Acer Aspire laptop, 2-Gig. RAM (only 1.7 used on 32-bit),
dual-processors, 2.0 gigahertz each</li>
<li>Dell Dimension 1100, 2.5 Gigahertz, 1 Gig. RAM, Intel
graphics<br>
</li>
</ul>

<div><br>
<div><span>We
are now approaching a critical part of 13.04. Starting
today, 13.04 is under Feature Freeze (No new applications,
or additional (new) features allowed and ONLY bug fixes are
allowed). Whilst there is a system for exceptions to be
allowed in for VERY good reasons, what was built today on
the Raring Iso's is pretty much what the applications will
be in 13.04. Our Head of Dev assures me that we got all the
lubuntu ones in on time. Normally, the ISO's were supposed
to be handed over to the Quality / Testing team on the
Friday so we have 7 days to go over them. As per normal,
this didn't happen :) W</span><span>hat
will not happen is the date of the Beta 1 release date being
changed.</span><span> </span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>So,
what can you do to help? Well, all of you good people have
actually already done lubuntu ISO testing. You did that when
you installed lubuntu. Having installed it once, you know
how to do it.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
Lubuntu has many different ISO's to test, every one of these
has to be fully tested and passed at Beta 1, Beta 2 and the
final Release Client. If we do not have the tests done and
passed, they will not be released; this will mean that those
people dependent on them will not have a 13.04 release. You
good people can really make a difference. I've now updated
the lubuntu testing area[1] to hold as much up to date
information for you as I can. </span></div>
<div><span><br>
However, I must now ask that questions for 13.04 are asked
on the Lubuntu-QA mailing list; there are simply not enough
of the more experienced testers to follow anything but
bug-reports and the mailing list. ** We do NOT bite **. It
is a 'roller coaster' ride, especially the first time
(although I still get a buzz when release day comes). You
get the chance to say....<br>
"Hey, I was a part of the team that made that happen"......
Trust me, it's a good buzz even though most of are very
tired by then :)</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>The
Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 1 testing ISO will be created on Monday
(evening - I will update this list). If you still think you
do not have experience to test, please take the weekend to
get used to how it all works and get your name down as a
tester and ask questions. It makes a difference even if you
only run one test out of the many needed, just go and
test... Once you have your 1st test under your belt, you'll
realise that it is easier than installing for the first time
and I'm sure you will get that nice feeling of 'Yeah, I
helped".</span></div>
