There's a mute, volume up, volume down and microphone mute button on
newer Thinkpads in the X and T series. On most distributions all of them
work but on Ubuntu GNOME and Debian/Ubuntu based distributions the
microphone mute button does not work. There's not even output from
'acpi_listen'. I do not have hopes up that it will work on Ubuntu GNOME
but it would sure have been a very pleasant surprise! :)

The only way I have found to enable hibernation on Ubuntu GNOME is to
add
"/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla"
with this content:

[Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

You have to add an extension for Gnome-Shell also which adds the
hibernate button to the status menu.

I do not get why this isn't enabled by default. Again, it's working OOTB
on Fedora and Sabayon.

There was a recent thread where we figured out this was due to
gnome-settings-daemon adding support for XF86XK_AudioMicMute in version
3.9.2 [1], while Trusty has on 3.8.

  [1] 
https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/3a8beaaf380a483ce33363031d8d276c371d7af1

After some googling I find
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/408903
which implies Ubuntu added a patch to handle that key to g-s-d 3.4, so
huh?  Maybe that patch used the old F20 keysym?  It's not present in the
3.8 debian/patches anyway.

(BTW the hardware sends F20, and g-s-d handled that as "mic mute" before
3.9; what happened in 3.9 was g-s-d also started handling
XF86XK_AudioMicMute since some distros -- Ubuntu included -- remapped
F20 to XF86XK_AudioMicMute).

I have been running 14.04 on 3 different laptops since alpha. A thinkpad,
an HP dv6500 and a galago ultra pro. On the older machines i have the
occasional crash during login. The component varies and i usually submit
the abrt. On the Ultra pro i havent had any problems that i can recall. I
have done any reinstalls but just updating as needed.

So far i've been quite happy.

Good work by everyone so far

Thank you so much for helping us with testing, appreciate that.

Beta 2 is not yet released. We're testing the daily builds to make sure
everything is okay and ready for Beta 2. Everything is explained here:
http://ubuntugnome.org/trusty-tahr-beta-2-candidate/

I never use Shutter? is that the correct name?
Do you mean it crashes on Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME Trusty as well?

Anyone else having that issue, guys?

Really? haven't noticed anything unusual but I'm testing on Virtual
Machines not real hardware.

Are you saying it is using more RAM when idle and on startup?

But just for the record, GNOME and Unity aren't really for old machines.
However, GNOME should use less RAM than Unity AFAIK. I have stopped using
Ubuntu since 11.04 (when Unity first came out) - that's why I'm
contributing to GNOME not Unity ;)

Oh Lance, I'm so sorry to know that :(
Hope you get well soon! all the best.

That must be hard. My grandmother was at the hospital for a week - heart
failure - and it is really sad to know you had problems too. Prayers and
wishes for you, my good friend.

Don't worry about testing. Your health comes first. I'm serious. Please
take care and we shall take care of the rest :)

IIRC (If I Remember Correctly), you need to press and hold 'Alt' while
pointing your mouse at the shutdown button but I could be wrong - someone
may correct me please if I'm wrong. I never use Hibernate.

I feel so bad that I couldn't get a machine to install Ubuntu GNOME Trusty
and test it :(

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208614

Had no time to look for a solution or anything so had to stick with Virtual
Machines :(
That said, can't tell about the booting time. Have only one main machine
and can't take any risk to lose it no matter what. Can't buy new machines
now.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Highly appreciate that :)

Probably slow testing on my end right now.

I landed in the hospital Saturday with a blood clot causing some strange 
cardiac arrhythmia.

I'm OK now but pretty well wiped out after all the meds.

Hi,

I did a fresh install on a Thinkpad T430S today. The installation was 
uneventful and very quick which is good. I had some glitches with the 
installer related to the partitioning in 13.10 on that machine, but no 
problems in this regard with 14.04. The microphone mute button is still not 
recognized in 14.04 but that seems to be a Deviant/Ubuntu issue (it works 
with all other distros I have tried like Arch, Sabayon and Fedora). 
Finally, hibernation support is not enabled by default, but that is also a 
Ubuntu issue it seems.


Boot time is a lot faster, approximately 30% which is phenomenal.  Other 
than that nothing to report. This is going to be a great release!

This is not yet final, of course. We shall updated and get it ready before
Ubuntu Release Team release the final beta :)

unfortunately I don't believe there are any sites that mirror the

What we do need to do here simply is: find the right candidate image to be
the final beta (beta 2) of Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr.

That said, at this stage, IMHO, it is less helpful/pointless to try an
already installed image on a machine. We need to go through the process
from beginning: Download, check MD5SUM, install, etc.

You can however keep two installations. The one that is already installed
so that you can test the upgrade process for example or anything else AND a
new fresh installation for the very latest daily image which is soon - one
of these - be the final beta.

What we do is:
1- We test the daily build.
2- Before the release of any milestone - please see the Release Schedule
Wiki Page - we decide which image is ready to be the milestone release, say
Beta 2.
3- The target is always find the less buggy image but in case there are
some bugs, we mention that on the release notes.
4- Once a milestone is released, we back to test the daily builds.

Everything is explained in details on the Testing Wiki Page of Ubuntu GNOME.

Hope that helps :)

To be clear, should we be downloading the new image or if we've
received updates all along (due to having Ubuntu GNOME Beta 1
installed on a partition) do we essentially have it?
