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

Fri Feb 22 20:34:18 UTC 2013

It would be great to even have a list here on the QA mailing list.

When we were doing normal Alpha testing we'd sometimes have many rebuilds over a period of 3 to 4 days but we'd typically end up with an image that was usable by most of us, and a compilation of bugs that really needed attention.

Now it's just a crap shoot.

i might make a wiki page for iso bugs that need confirming/looking at.

    Jackson, that's a good idea actually.
      We should pull the unconfirmed ubiquity bugs off the lp list and
      try and confirm or deny them. We've done similar drives in past
      cycles as the cycle gets further along. I think now is a good
      time. That's something we as a team can do to help the developers.
      I'll try and get a nice summary link to view and add it as a task
      for our cadence week. 

      Thanks guys!

      there are things getting fixed, but not many. there
        doesn't seem to be enough testing though, even just to get some
        bugs confirmed. some bugs in the iso tracker have been "new" for
        a few months.

                    I'm aware of this bug:

                    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701

                    It's been bugging many of us since mid-November but
                    we obviously no longer care about the ability to
                    install and/or test the images until Beta falls :^(

                    I hate to be the turd in the punch-bowl, but why
                    bother testing if nothing ever gets fixed?

                    PS: this is an indication that "cadence" should be
                    renamed, maybe to "we'll look at it later"!

                      Hi good people,

                        as we run through cadence testing, there
                          does seem to be a lack of testing. Can I ask
                          that people do test out the DeskTop versions
                          for lubuntu and xubuntu as we seem to have a
                          gremlin in ubiquity that may only affect our
                          Virtual Machines. Also when you take the time
                          out to try the 'alternate' ISOs for lubuntu,
                          would you also please check out the basic
                          ubuntu-server ISO, as it is required for us to
                          maintain support for the lubuntu-alternate ISO
                          series. 

                        Regards,

                        Phill.

                          P.S. if anyone who is receiving this sort
                            of email for the first time, please have a
