Xenial Xerus Beta 1
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland This Beta features images for Lubuntu, Ubuntu Cloud, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu MATE, UbuntuKylin, Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu. Pre-releases of Xenial Xerus are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu flavour developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Beta 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. While these Beta 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve Xenial Xerus. In particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Beta 1 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 16.04 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs. Lubuntu: Lubuntu is a flavour of Ubuntu based on LXDE and focused on providing a very lightweight distribution.

Hi - I'd love to help - but as I'm not in the studio release team I'd not actually be able to do that for you. I'm more than happy to go through it with you when you need to do so. There is a list of packages, and bugs requesting the test cases here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Testing/Testcases So feel free to pick a package (maybe one of your favourites) and begin drafting a test case. You can either follow the processes linked on that page, or just send me a text file (or here to the list), and I will take it from there. Basically the test case needs: 1. A short description of the test (1 sentence or so) 2. Any remarks (e.g. where to download a known file to work with, or how to check your system is correctly set up). 3a. Action sentences (e.g. Click on the "Open File" icon). 3b. A matching result (e.g. File Selection Window opens). Have a look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/view/head:/testcases/packages/1596_Update%20Manager for the way they need to be written. We should try and keep the test cases fairly short, and only test that the program runs, you can open and save files, do basic editing & creation, and output the creation as applicable. See package qa tracker for examples. It would be great if we could all pick a package (or three) that we know and love, so that we quickly build up a portfolio of tests. Although it is possible, doing a test case for a package you don't know very well can take a lot of time. Over the next days, I will be checking the list of packages is up to date, and updating the priority column to focus on a small number of important applications. And then I will get kicking from where I left off last time! I CAN help here and make sure it all gets onto the right place in the tracker base.
