Re: [Ubuntugnome-qa] The Last Testing Round for Utopic Unicorn
Sorry for the top posting but I don't have Thunderbird set up on this device. I performed the i386 upgrade test earlier on the 22nd: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/325/builds/82404/testcases/1310/results You'll notice that all the other flavors have their upgrade tests lumped into one area, Product (Upgrade) and have the date identifier of 20141017. That identifier will only change if a retest is required so that test should still be valid. Maybe we should move our upgrade tests to the same area of the tracker to prevent confusion?

I don't think GNOME bugs are being reported on Launchpad anyway. https://wiki.gnome.org/Bugsquad They are using totally different approach :) Maybe you are asking the wrong Q here? or maybe I can't understand what do you exactly mean? Ubuntu GNOME bugs are being reported to Launchpad - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+milestone/trusty On this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing You will find everything and I mean everything about bugs and testing Ubuntu GNOME. Please, if there is anything not clear, let us know :) I have personally put so much efforts on that Wiki Page and I am sure I have covered everything. If not, I'd be so glad to do but I need people to READ :D Are you asking how to know Ubuntu GNOME bugs so that you try to fix them? Or, you are asking how to report? I'd appreciate if you explain better to us :) -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."

Re: Testing - lack of proper messages post-install
Yes! I see this too! Maybe Tim can help out with this between now and final release. Just to be clear; If you start the installation from the live DE when you're asked to reboot or continue with the live session, and then select reboot, you are presented with a "remove disc/close tray/press enter" dialog. But if you initially choose install rather than installing from the live DE you get no such dialog. So it's not a casper bug, maybe syslinux??? Or is it just an artwork thing?

Beta 1 amd64 testing
I'm fairly confident now that clicking on the "install" icon in the Launcher fails to work. It acts like it's going to work but even after several minutes nothing happens. But choosing "install" either from the initial boot menu or after waiting for the try/install seems to work OK. I've not seen that with Lubuntu i386 so how should I file that bug? Maybe against 'ubiquity'? That somehow doesn't feel right w/o cross-testing against more flavors. Could someone do a little quick testing in a VM to verify this?
