Hi, All:<br>
<br>
<font face="DejaVu Serif,Times New Roman,times,serif">Perhaps</font>
this SHOULD be a worry before Thursday's release. Please advise...<br>
<br>
For years, I've used UNetBootIn to burn draft Ubuntu .iso files and
test or install them on our computers at MMS, for our client Ubuntu
users, and at our monthly FOSS User Group meetings in Natick,
Massachusetts, USA.<br>
<br>
That worked for draft desktop Ubuntu 19.04, too - until about two
months ago. It still works on two of the three computers on which I
test. But since SOMETHING changed, I get a black screen, or
repeating attempts to read the thumb drive, on a Dell Inspiron
11-3157 netbook. (One of the working computers is a near-identical
Dell 11-3147 netbook!) I can still boot and install successfully on
the balky netbook, too, with Ubuntu earlier than 19.04 using the
same thumb drive or any other.<br>
<br>
Newer .iso downloads and burns don't help. Other burner programs
(Startup Disk Creator, MultiWriter) don't help. Burning on a
different computer doesn't help. Burning onto other thumb drives*
doesn't help. (Although they ALL work on other computers.)<br>
<br>
*- I've seen ONE exception. Less than two weeks ago, a friend burned
the daily .iso using his current Fedora and its default burning app,
and that thumb drive DID work on my netbook. (Sorry; I don't have
it, and don't know which app.)<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Might this affect other users out there?<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">As of seventeen seconds ago, disco has entered the Final Freeze period
in preparation for the final release of Ubuntu 19.04 next week.
The current uploads in the queue will be reviewed and either accepted
or rejected as appropriate by pre-freeze standards, but anything from
here on should fit two broad categories:
1) <b>Release critical bugs that affect ISOs, installers, or otherwise
can't be fixed easily post-release.</b>
2) Bug fixes that would be suitable for post-release SRUs, which we
may choose to accept, reject, or shunt to -updates for 0-day SRUs
on a case-by-case basis.
For unseeded packages that aren't on any media or in any supported
sets, it's still more or less a free-for-all, but do take care not to
upload changes that you can't readily validate before release. That
is, ask yourself if the current state is "good enough", compared to
the burden of trying to fix all the bugs you might accidentally be
introducing with your shiny new upload.
We will shut down cronjobs and spin some RC images late Friday or early
Saturday once the archive and proposed-migration have settled a bit,
and we expect everyone with a vested interest in a flavour (or two) and
a few spare hours here and there to get to testing to make sure we have
another uneventful release next week. Last minute panic is never fun.
On behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team,
... Adam Conrad
