Re: Daily build vs. alpha/beta
John, also note that during these focused testing periods (alpha, beta testing), the images we are testing are the latest daily builds. Sure, now beta1 is old, so if you wanted to do testing today for an image, you should use today's image. At the time we were testing however, it was the daily build. The workflow I follow is to run the development version and keep it up to date with the changes. I will continue to use the programs I normally do in my daily usage, and try out new things over the course of the cycle to look for bugs. I will also do specific calls for testing that focus on a specific package or packages and test those as well. Finally, when it comes time to release an image, I will install and test that image to make sure it's good. Testing the image is mostly about making sure it installs a good working system. The software that comes with or can be installed after is the focus on the day to day testing and running of the development version of ubuntu. Run the development version long enough, and you'll find bugs in things you use or install.

This also can occur when the devs bring together several bugs into one release. If they were to put out one release per day / per bug. 12.10 could be expected about the year 2020. We use the alpha / betas as benchmarks, anything thing that makes things worse is a regression, I hope that explains things to you, please feel free to ask further questions. Regards, Phill.

I will get my act together and continue contributing. Anyway, I see that a lot of qa testers are trying out the betas and catching some bugs. I understand that the daily builds are the latest, up-to-the-minute Ubuntu distribution, but why do QA Testers flock over to the alphas/betas to go test for them? Why do they not test the latest daily build in such droves? Most Ubuntu developers stick to the daily builds to do their dev work on it. To what extent is the daily build useful for the QA Tester?

Re: libreoffice bug...
John, try taking a video or picture of what's happening. Can you reproduce the bug? Getting someone else to confirm the bug is the first step to helping it get solved. Being able to reproduce it is important to being able to fix ;-) Nicholas On 09/15/2012 05:57 AM, Karl Anliot wrote: On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 8:34 PM, John Kim johnkim.ubu...@gmail.com wrote: I caught this bug on libreoffice while doing some homework yesterday? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1051121 Should I forward this to ubuntu-bugs mailing list?

This week in QA
Hello All. I just wanted to mention a few things that are going on this week with quantal and plans for testing. Beta 2 is coming up next week and the first images will land by Monday. Be prepared next week for iso testing :-) For those of you running quantal, there's some interesting changes landing; a new photos lens, and a new gwibber lens (still coming!) remote login support in the greeter new wallpaper packages more llvmpipe and unity improvements And for everyone else, check out the new and improved https://errors.ubuntu.com/ site. If you haven't seen the site before, it collects stats (for those who opt-in) on crashes that happen on ubuntu. You can see common trends, common bugs encountered and some nice graphs depicting what's happening in both quantal and precise.

Re: first day of school
As I study these bugs, it feels like there's an equal but opposite force pushing back at me. As I study the bugs, is it possible the bugs are studying me? Each step taken towards understanding these developments takes me farther and farther away from the world I used to know. And it's terrifying me. -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
