"should development releases be limited to those who have at least a basic
understanding what the word development means?" ;^)

That would rule me out as well :P

I do know our devs do strive to keep the release notes up to date on the
testing area. It is unfair to ask that they release to the many forums. Any
of us are welcome to update the testing area and it should, IMHO, be the
area that any forum posts etc refer back to. We have a great ML for lubuntu,
we can discuss 'what is a bug' within our own team, but as we go viral - we
are going to have to use lp for bugs and the wiki for testing else I fear we
will end up with one area saying one thing and another something else.

Regards,

Phill.

We're OK ;^)

One person went on a rant without spending a little time to explore.

They were basically comparing our Alpha 3 to a final release w/o even having 
read the release notes..

I think the i386 is pretty good other than a few cosmetic blemishes, can't 
comment on the 64bit version because I lack 64bit hardware but I saw a lot of 
bugs reported.

Hopefully in about another week I'll be able to monitor the forums a bit 
closer, but not all of those threads should have been merged. Regardless it was 
mostly just a rant that begs to question, "should development releases be 
limited to those who have at least a basic understanding what the word 
development means?" ;^)

I'd hope not actually because I might not be able to pass the test.

Whilst we cannot serve the forum area, would I ask people to keep an eye on 
them, and re-iterrate that bugs should be reported correctly.
Having discussions on areas that our devs do not monitor is regressive. I know 
that the ops on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11142592 have and do 
wonderful work. If you see a posting, please 'report' it and ask the they move 
it there. All you need to do is click on 'REPORT'. the guys are not going to 
say it is spam. it just cuts down where we look and allows people on the forum 
to know to know better that they are not alone.

Herding the comments into one area is better for us & better for the forum area.

Phill.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Forum area

2010-08-09 Thread Phillip Whiteside
Hi,

there's a lot going on for me at present, could someone take a quick look
at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9699653#post9699653 and answer
it. I'm pretty sure it is just a case of removing the CD from the software
sources, but I've not seen the error before. If you're not "forum people"
then reply here and I'll post it up tomorrow.

thanks,

Phill.
P.S. the snoring your hear is me getting an "early" night :-)
