Laptop Testing
In response to the article here: http://primes2h.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/lets-test-your-laptop-now/ and the fact that I've been in the Linux world for 16 years and haven't contributed as much as I should have, I've followed the instructions so I can contribute to laptop testing. My primary laptop that I can do whatever I want with in terms of testing is an HP Pavillion DV7-4263cl. I can also do non-destructive testing on an older HP nx6310 and Toshiba A205-S5864.

New Tester
Hello! My name is Louis Casillas and I'd like to do my part in making Ubuntu better and better. My main machine is an ASUS G73JW series laptop. I triple boot Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.10, and now Ubuntu Natty Narwhal A3. So far I've been having a lot of issues running Natty Narwhal so I'd be interested in getting in touch with the best people to discuss these issues. Look forward to being useful! -Louis Casillas -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
Re: New Tester
Neil- Thanks for the welcome! So far a few of the issues I've seen that do not happen on 10.10: - ASUS DPI mouse not recognized. - Unplugging and plugging back in the AC power source has twice randomly turned off the monitor and forced me to hard shutdown my laptop. - The Fn (Function) key no longer works for things such as lowering volume, turning on/off wireless internet, ... There's been other smaller issues such as improper window redrawing artifacts. I'll try to find ways to properly reproduce the issues and make bug reports when I can get a little bit more information. Look forward to working with you! -Louis Casillas On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 12:56 PM, Neil Perry npe...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Louis, Great news about helping make Ubuntu better!

Re: New Tester
About the Fn key issue - is it possible that it's reversed? For example to change my volume I just press the F9, F10 or F11 keys but to send F9 I actually have to press Fn-F9. I'm getting this in all versions of Linux I've tried on this laptop : natty, maverick, arch and opensuse 11.4.

Testing/LoCos wiki page updated
I just refreshed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/LoCos for the Lucid Beta 1 release. Is there any interest in integrating some of this content into the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing page and/or combined with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/LoCoTeam in the future?
