Re: 12.04.1 ISO Testing

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Thanks everyone who has already helped with the testing! I saw some 
great bugs being found and worked -- on upgrades and inside the 
installer. Excellent work! If you've not yet submitted a result, 
consider executing a testcase that still needs to be run.

Sadly I don't have hardware here to help out with this :-( If you have 
hardware and are able to help, consider submitting a result. Thanks 
everyone!

couple of weeks ago I failed to install Lubuntu 12.04 from the live CD
into a 512 MB RAM computer of a friend.

The graphical installer really shouldn't be locking up on 512MB, it
should be erroring out instead.  The problem is, the lockups aren't
consistent, unless you use the manual partitioning.

This is a severe problem, especially for 1st time users.  I've filed a bug:

Thanks for the tips Karl,

If I remember correctly it was an early 64-bit AMD processor, and it ran
beautifully live with Lubuntu 64 bit.

I tried also to install directly without first booting the live desktop.
I had done manual partitioning before using gparted, still no go until I
used the alternate CD.

Best regards
Nio

Cadence Testing -- my thoughts on how the cycle has gone

[Nicholas Skaggs]

I know, lots of emails today -- it's quite a week to be in QA :-)

We've been chatting on and off via the list about this idea of cadence 
testing, and the struggles we've hit. I wanted to share my thoughts and 
ideas on what's gone right and what's gone wrong with cadence testing 
this cycle.


http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/08/the-grand-cadence-experiment.html

Secondly, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in 
these cadence testing events. They were a mass of confusion and pain for 
you, I know. We learned many things from executing the events, and I'm 
proud to say together we achieved what was asked of us. Going forward 
however, I'd like us to continue the conversation of bringing in value 
and being a larger part of the release process. My goal is to keep you 
informed about what's going on so that can happen. We'll keep iterating 
forward!

your sentences are too long.  Why no talk good?
