[Lubuntu-qa] Desktop, Alternate and flavours....

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Lance, it looks like xnox has assigned himself this bug and is working 
on it. I've not run across it, but looking at the comments it seems like 
a certain partition setup is needed. That said, your obviously keeping 
your eye on it, which is a good thing. If your testing during the 
cadence week and slamming into this bug, just file the result with the 
bug report and use the workarounds to keep going. There might other 
issues plaguing the installer.

I know it can feel frustrating to see bugs sit, but keep at it. Make 
sure the devs can reproduce, and ask for status updates or offer to help 
as needed. Recently, jackson and phil have successfully been able to 
work with the testdrive and dev folks to get fixes in for testdrive and 
virtualbox. It took them a bit and they definitely kept at it, asking 
different people to help along the way. It's just a recent example of 
being helpful and showing concern for the bug in question. Keep plugging 
away. Making a thread dedicated to the bug on the mailing list is 
another way to raise visibility amongst everyone and help you (and all 
of us) to drive the bug.
