Greets, all. <br><br>I've got some good news. We've got about nine days to go before the release of Feisty Fawn's first beta release. That means we've got enough time to file so many Xubuntu test installation reports that we crash launchpad. ;)
<br><br>Instructions on testing Xubuntu can be found <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ReportingResults" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">here</a>. Once you've completed your tests, you can report your results by leaving a comment in the appropriate "
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-iso-tests/+bugs" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ISO Testing Bug</a>." Just look for the appropriate distribution (Xubuntu!), and architecture (i386 or AMD64) and installation type (Desktop or Alternate). If you aren't sure what to record,
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-iso-tests/+bug/91617" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">here</a> is a good example.<br><br>A couple of notes:<br><br>- When testing, it might be worth looking at
<a href="https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/7.04-beta" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
the bugs being tracked for beta</a>
to see if it's possible to collect more information on any of them,
confirm fixes, etc. If you've got an interest in bugs (who doesn't
like bugs?) check out the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Helping With Bugs</a> wiki page for a good introduction.<br><br>- Also, during our last test cycle, a couple of individuals noted that they had difficulty using rsync to keep their nightly ISO image "fresh." I found a tutorial yesterday on Planet Ubuntu that explains
<a href="http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/11/how-to-use-jigdo-for-incremental-cd-updates-daily-builds" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">how to use Jigdo for incremental CD updates of daily builds
</a>. It's worth checking out if you want to have an updated ISO, but also want to save some time and bandwidth.
<br><br>Finally, a few of you have asked which machines you should test on. I think someone had around 15 different machines available for testing! From my perspective, testing on only one machine is great, and testing on 2 or 3 machines is more than great. If you are going to test on more than one machine, just try to vary up the architecture or specs.
