Test Case updates
Hi, the page detailing work on test cases has had a minor rename [1]. Please do feel free to add any work items you are undertaking in the relevant sections ( or create new ones) so that we all know who is doing what when. Test Cases will be back as a priority for us all once UDS-R is finished so that they are in place as soon as possible for the 13.04 testing cycle.

Glitches on upgrade to 12.10
Hi, I have upgraded to 12.10 yesterday evening and it went very smooth indeed. There is one comment I would make on the upgrade process that I feel should be changed in future releases: During the process in a number of times (around 15-20 in my case) a message came up saying that I have modified some configuration files and offering me the options to keep mine or change it to the new one. I can look what the difference is. Now, while it seems fine, I actually did not know many of the files where do they belong to or what do they do and did not know what is the consequence if I keep mine versus using the upgrade version. What do I loose by not keeping? If I keep do I miss out some features? The process does not give data on it and for people who are even less knowledgeable it would say nothing so they would choose blindly one or the other option - almost pointless to even ask. Why don't we just keep the modified files? Just a point to make. Now, I do have some issues since upgrade though: 1. Not directly related to upgrade but thought to put it here: I have also downloaded the ISO images of both x64 and i386. I like to have them burned on CD in case I need them and sometimes I install for someone else. When I tried to burn them on CD, Brasero in both cases said that they are two big for burning on a blank CD?! Is that so? Are the images too big for CD? 2. Since upgrade Pidgin does not appear in the menu on the notification area under the envelop. Actually after the reboot, that completed the upgrade, the envelop and its menu was missing too entirely. Then when I started Thunderbird and Gwibber the envelop came and it is there since but the only thing that is in the menu is Thinderbird and Gwibber. I do not have Pidgin even when it is running - it runs fine though, but does not appear there. BTW I also have Emphaty installed on the system and while I do not use it, before upgrade it did appear in that menu and now it is not there. I have filed this as a bug against the Pidgin package, not sure if that is the right place though. 3. After upgrade I tried Libreoffice today the first time. When I opened a Calc (table) file it opened fine, however the top menu (Files, Edit, etc.) did not show up integrated into the top bar or in any way. The menu was missing! It was not there in the full windowed mode or the smaller one either. Then I closed it and when started next time it just worked fine and does so since. Did not file a bug as I can not reproduce, but right after upgrade it was there. Kind of strange. Wanted to report it here. Other than the above issues everything seems to be running just fine and the system is smooth as butter. I love the new background images, congrats for whoever choose them. I would be glad to assist to fix any of the above ones if I can do something. Testing, additional data, anything. Let me know. Have a nice day.

Re: Glitches on upgrade to 12.10
Hi Charlie, Yea, I know and I can indeed burn them onto a DVD and/or put on USB. Looking again the Ubuntu main website it actually do say that you need USB or DVD. I was just not aware of that change - until now it was CD. Anyhow, fair enough, I need to get some DVDs then.

Re: Glitches on upgrade to 12.10
Got that and all right! Thanks for the info, somewhere I've missed it before. I would think though then the DVD images could be filled up with more stuff.

Ubuntu Open Week session....what should we talk about?
Hi to all, I am holding a session about the Ubuntu QA Team in Ubuntu Open Week on 25th Oct 14:00 UTC. You can find more about it in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/ Since it is about our Community doing QA, I want to seek advice from you all so that I can plan the session much better. Please visit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jBB_Z0y-myj_gJ4BH6Oy9OWmBfOIMOJEg9MmUWsEQoo/editto write down your thoughts.

I also see this by trying to submit the crash report using the ubuntu-bug command Crash reports regarding stable releases, which Ubuntu 12.10, is go to errors.ubuntu.com and not the Ubuntu bug tracker in Launchpad. You can verify that the crash was upload by looking for a .uploaded file corresponding to the .crash file in /var/crash/ for the particular application or service that crashed. Please clarify. Do you say that there are not anymore reported bug reports for crashes? The idea is that bug reports have already been created (during testing of the development release) for the majority of crashes that people will encounter. Additionally, submitting bug reports uses valuable resources on the local system and on Launchpad. However, the crashes are still submitted to errors.ubuntu.com and there you can see relationships between crashes and bug reports. It that case, the crash dialog should be modified to give the user an indication that the crash report has been uploaded. Like it is now for me, it just disappears and I think itself has crashed... Is there an existing bug report about this? I believe the thought is the process should be as non-disruptive as possible and a second dialog saying 'your crash was successfully sent' is disruptive.

The last days before release
First and foremost -- if you have helped test in any way this cycle, make sure I've got your name recorded (or if you don't want your name published, let me know) -- this is the current draft of what will go into the release notes of ubuntu for quantal. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/Credits/Testers Next, I wanted to thank everyone for riding the roller-coaster of development yet again and helping to make this release a successful one. We've got 2 days left before release, and the team is still trying to chase down some last minute bugs as usual. If your noticing anything that is critically broken, please make sure the release team knows about it. Feel free to contact myself or the list if you are unsure. Other bugs you find may become SRU'd post-release, so please do report anything you see. As for testing, ARM appears to be good -- have any of the ARM testers seen issues with upgrading from precise? The 'black bar' bug is cosmetic and will ship on the final version -- Launchpad bug 1055949 in unity Unity panel shadow appears as solid black bar on GLES/ARM (Pandaboard) [Medium,Confirmed]. On the desktop side, things appear to be shaking out ok -- has anyone been able to test wubi and have it work well? The new binary should be available to do so. My personal upgrades from precise to quantal went well just last evening -- so even a real-world upgrade scenario passed with little issue. Finally, we won't be having an official meeting tomorrow so as to not interrupt any testing going on. However, you are encouraged to use the #ubuntu-testing channel at any time to discuss bugs, problems, and get help testing. Due to UDS I would also suggest we cancel October 24th and October 21st meetings, making the next meeting November 7th. The wiki has been updated to reflect this, but we can change it if there is a prevailing reason or interest to meet during those days. Thanks everyone and happy testing in these last days.

A useful thing to do
Hi guys, for those people who want to test the newest builds always available (especially to QA Leads and busy testers) I recommend you to subscribe to the testcases for your favorite ISO. For example, you can click into the Ubuntu Desktop amd64 testsuite in the ISO QA Tracker, then check all testcases, then click the Subscribe button at the bottom of the page. After then if a new build appears it will automatically send a email to you notifying you of the build. Cheers and have a happy testing!

Hello, I ran a Upgrade Ubuntu amd64 for Quantal Final test upgrading my PC to Quantal Final. Everything was ok except for some unmet dependencies : libqtgui4:i386 : Depends: libtiff5:i386 ( 4.0.0-1~) but it is not installed libtiff4:i386 : Depends: libjbig0:i386 but it is not installed When I rebooted package manager indicated and error: BrokenCount 0. I fixed it with an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade -f. Should this be reported as a bug ? Thanks.

Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal (Beta2)
Good day, I have downloaded and installed ubuntu 12.10 beta2. One problem while installing - no visible mouse cursor. The screen was white with tiny red dots. When finished install live -white screen- moved the mouse around and found that it is there but not visible. The apps flashed when the invisible cursor passed over it. I took a chance and logged out. Bingo - all is visible and screen is normal. This white screen and invisible cursor has been a long time. Now this beta2 is running nicely without problems on my laptop. It is updated as of last night. Question - will this be the same when fully updated than the final release.

Re: ARM This week in QA
So Elfy reports upgrading from beta1 is pretty broken. If you've not yet taken the time to try, I would suggest holding off for now and focusing on the daily images. We've got the results we needed :-) We've had a couple confirmed successful installs using the daily images as well, so if you want to see how nice the experience is now, give it a whirl.

[PPC] need help to get 12.10 release!
I said this before but I'll say it again with a different emphasis: If we are to have a 12.10 PPC release, we *MUST* update the wiki pages to make it easy for folks. I had previously suggested we use the main PPC FAQ [1] however it has become clear the Lubuntu is paving the way for PPC. That being said, PPC users are more likely to install Lubuntu and thus we really need our own FAQ, which we now have [2]. There's not much there but there should be more. What we need is relevant pieces (I point out the video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60 yaboot setting that is useful for Radeon users) taken from the PPC FAQ and published here, with links to the PPC FAQ for more information. The main PPC FAQ is a wonderful resource and full of great information, but it is pretty overwhelming. We need to sort of dumb things down, if you will, and get straight to the point. We also need to have at least one link to the release notes [3] and that page will need to be updated with, e.g. known issues. Maybe we need a PPC section. I'd do this all myself but I have limited time lately, and so I kindly ask your help. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

If your interested in hosting a session, let me know. If you've never done a session like this before, this is a great way to get involved. You will find excellent help and support and you can even tag team the session if you wish. Thanks!

If you want to be in experiment mode, try desktop 12.10 powerpc. Of course I will try nearly anything (probably a left over view from the 60's) .. You should be fine using the alternate 12.10 for a testing install. I still have 12.04 on my G4 PowerBook and it is stable as..as..as debian .. q:o) I use about 115MB when it is idling.

This week in QA
This week in QA is preparation for Unity 6.8, which will contain some bugfixes for the items found in testing Unity 6.6. Thanks to all of our testers who help out on this effort! For those who are able to help, look for some specific regression testing after the feature lands. You can track it at the following link: https://launchpad.net/unity-lens-shopping/+milestone/6.8.0 In addition, you may have seen that I am personally participating in a charity-a-thon, and this Thursday I'll be working for 24 hours straight in support of my charity, WaterAid. I've made a special challenge to the QA community (that's all of you!) to donate, perform installations and testing, get support and some personal time with me and come hangout. Check out my post as to my plans for the day, and plan to participate yourself as well: http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/10/preparing-for-community-charity-thon.html Here's to building towards a great release, Nicholas -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Join Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) Beta 2 Laptop Testing
Hi all! Quantal Beta 2 (12.10) has been released and now we ask everyone on the QA team to participate in the laptop testing. The procedures for testing your laptop and reporting results are explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures There are three kind of images available: Ubuntu Desktop amd64 Ubuntu Desktop i386 Ubuntu Desktop amd64+mac Post your test results on the Laptop tracker [1] and if you find any bug with the release, report them on Launchpad and on the tracker as usual. You'll require a laptop profile in order to pair results and bugs with your hardware. To have it, we highly recommend to first run Checkbox from your system, then search for the corresponding profile on the Ubuntu Friendly website [2]. Please let us know if you have any questions, we will coordinate testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Thank you very much for your help and happy testing! :-) [1] http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/ [2] http://friendly.ubuntu.com -- Sergio Zanchetta https://launchpad.net/~primes2h -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [ppc] old news on 20120926
Since these issues are hard to clarify in subjective descriptions of their symptoms, I'm going to wait until this nVidia change is in an iso and then give it a test. If no luck, I'll wait until the Radeon comes out, I guess. I'll put together some screenshots. Could I ask you all to do the same for comparison's sake? Meanwhile, since the nature of 12.10 is in flux perhaps it makes more sense to give testers some advice in the testing area: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64 rather than putting it in the otherwise more relevant 12.10 area: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues#A12.10_Quantal_Quetzal where it will necessarily have to be revised often.

Hi, with regards to 'Where to keep updated, I'm minded to use the PowerPC area and not our Lubuntu area. This is simply because that during the test cycles, more than just Lubuntu have PPC releases and there are people still using Xubuntu PPC etc.. I have been asked to ensure that PPC server edition does get a full suite of tests once we hit RC status, I will remind people of this when it is needed. Regards, Phill.

At least I did (and reported) 3 of the Ubuntu Server PPC test cases for Quantal Beta2 -- better than nothing :) The short (and often midweek) test windows are difficult for me to deal with, all it takes is some real work pressure for a couple of days at just the wrong time, and it can be hard for me to do much (or any) QA testing before the time window closes. Server needs 19 tests (15 mandatory and 4 run-once)... that's rather a lot to expect one person to do in a couple of evenings! Anything that can give us slightly longer testing windows would be a real help for me, and I suspect for other testers also. The good news is that the loaner PPC hardware I have on my desk is mine until after 12.10 official release date, so at least I expect to have something to test Ubuntu Quantal PPC on when RC hits. Incidentally, I suspect Ubuntu Server testcase SWI-011 (Virtualization Host) is not going to work too well on PPC -- it asks the tester to check their hardware is KVM compatible using either an Intel or AMD kernel module. I therefore recommend that this test not be required for PPC hardware :) Jonathan -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Re: Beta 2 Testing -- Unity and ISO Testing!
hi komputes, are you using the latest VB? (Currently at 4.2.0-80737). I have in the past had issues with 'Guest Additions' fighting with my kernel. hopefully someone more familiar with VB can chip in and comment (I now use KVM[2]).

It's here. Thanks to everyone who's been working on our testcases. Those of your who use the tracker will notice the new changes. Thanks again to everyone's work on this. So, the beta2 images will be landing shortly on the tracker and will be ready for testing. In addition to this, there's a chance to do some Unity Testing.

Re: Beta 2 Testing -- Unity and ISO Testing!
Hi Komputes, you may want to get a headache, it does appear that 2.15 is available [1]. Again, I'm well out of my area of expertise and you may want to check on the server area of ubuntu forums[2] to get some one to check! hope that helps, Phill. 1. http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.15 2. http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=339 On 25 September 2012 21:05, komputes kompu...@gmail.com wrote: On 09/25/2012 03:21 PM, Phill Whiteside wrote: are you using the latest VB?

Re: Install (auto-resize) in Lubuntu Desktop
Hi Warren, as it is a required part of the test case [1], please report it as a bug 'fail'. (It should be raised against ubiquity). I've cc'd the mailing list so someone should be able to quickly confirm it. Regards, Phill. 1. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info On 25 September 2012 21:47, Warren Clemmons wkclemm...@gmail.com wrote: Phill I think the problem might be my USB drive. I tried another USB stick and did not get these errors. But there is a Ubiquity issue on the 'Preparing to Install Lubuntu Screen' the is plugged to a power source is missing. At least now I can start reporting bugs.
