Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Kindly treat this email and this call for testing as
high priority and urgent.<br>
<br>
Please have a read:<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>That was an old email ;)<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>We're testing now Beta 1 - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing</a><br>
</div>
<div>And soon, we will back to test the daily images.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Kindly keep in mind that in order to help Ubuntu GNOME
with the testing process, you're required, as always, to
test only the 'latest' build. Testing an old build is
pointless and useless. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Those who are involved with testings need always to
keep an eye on the QA mailing list of Ubuntu GNOME and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>If there is any Q or anything wrong with that Wiki
Page, please do shout at me. Send me directly or send to
the list.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thank you!<br>
<br>
P.S.<br>
</div>
<div>In order for any test to be really helpful, tester is
required to always do a clean and fresh install :)<br>
</div>
<div>Using any kind of upgrade is less helpful.<br>
</div>

I would respectfully disagree. With a six month release cycle and a
nine month support cycle I'd very much appreciate some help testing
the 'release-upgrader' properly. Properly is a key word, eg;<br>
<br>
To upgrade Ubuntu GNOME Saucy to Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Beta 1 simply
execute the command "update-manager -d" in the terminal. No sudo is
required, nor is it preferred!<br>
<br>
To upgrade Ubuntu GNOME Saucy to Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Daily simply
execute the command "update-manager -d -c" in the terminal. Again no
sudo is required, nor is it preferred!<br>
<br>
Bug filing against the 'release-upgrader' is still a bit confusing
to me, but official documentation indicates that "ubuntu-bug
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" should usually be sufficient, just be
sure to include the log files contained in "/var/log/dist-upgrade/".

Why?<br>
Because the installation process is the very first thing
that everyone needs to test. A system that can't be
installed is 100% useless and thus, we must test the
testing process :)<br>
I will keep repeating this until I make sure everyone is
aware of this :)<br>

Yes, the more testing the better! One bad installation experience
can turn a user against a distro forever! So those of us who don't
mind blowing things up from time to time are key to producing a
pleasant end result.<br>
