Focused ISO Testing on Thursday's
Greetings everyone -- the QA team is continuing it's focus on quality this cycle. With that in mind, from now until the end of the cycle we're going to take each Thursday until release and run the latest iso on our machines; reporting the results via the iso tracker. Additionally, once we run thru the installation tests, we'll be undertaking the manual application tests to test our default software stack for ubuntu across our machines. Now, if Thursday isn't a good day for you, take a day a week that does work for you and sync the daily iso and test. Please, please be sure and report your results to the iso tracker. If you test without reporting, the bugs have no potential of being fixed :-( If you find a critical bug, it doesn't hurt to also alert folks via IRC / launchpad / mailing list. I know some of you have already been testing; thanks for your efforts! Perhaps some of you haven't done iso testing before. Never fear! The process is documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures As part of the process you will be looking for bugs while testing. If you find one, you should check this list first to see if it has already been reported. http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/qa/qa-open-bugs.html# If not, go ahead and utilize ubuntu-bug to file the bug as usual. The second part of the testing can occur after your successful iso testing is completed. You will need to follow the process documented here to run the checkbox manual application tests: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/RunningCheckboxTestCases In short; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nskaggs/checkbox-app-testing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install checkbox-app-testing Open the dash and type 'Application Testing' and press enter to launch. The QA team is available to help out in the #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Plenty of opportunities to get help if you need it so don't be afraid to try doing the testing. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any issues with running the tests. Also, remember you can always improve the tests, wiki instructions, etc -- nothing is ever perfect. If you see something amiss, let me know and I can help fix it. Thanks, and happy testing to everyone!

I didn't install!!! Here's what I asked in the LyX mailing list: I've been testing Ubuntu12.04 lately just now I was thinking of using LyX on it.

Is there something wrong? And here's two replies I got: 1) The download from Ubuntu was probably a debug build. These are much larger than the release build. You might want to contact the Ubuntu project and let them know that the build is much larger than expected. Another idea is that they may have changed the LaTeX dependencies. If so, it might be downloading a lot of extra TeX packages that aren't needed. Regardless, I would definitely get in touch with the Ubuntu project. To the best of my knowledge, they don't subscribe to this list, and it's something that they will want to hear about. 2) I am also suspecting that your total download size contains a bunch of LaTeX dependencies It is worth noting that LyX 2.0.3 that is currently installed on my Lucid (by ppa) has a total size of 10.5MB, while that in Precise's Software Center is about 450MB (download) 700MB+ (install). So I thought I'd get your thoughts on this on how to proceed! Who how (launchpad?) should be notified about this? The actual DEPENDency list for Lyx is quite small: [cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango4-wired:~$ apt-cache depends lyx | grep Depend Depends: libboost-regex1.46.1 Depends: libboost-signals1.46.1 Depends: libc6 Depends: libenchant1c2a Depends: libgcc1 Depends: libmythes-1.2-0 Depends: libqtcore4 Depends: libqtgui4 Depends: libstdc++6 Depends: zlib1g Depends: lyx-common Depends: xdg-utils PreDepends: dpkg [cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango4-wired:~$ apt-cache depends lyx-common | grep Depend Depends: tex-common Depends: python PreDepends: dpkg [cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango4-wired:~$ apt-cache depends tex-common | grep Depend |Depends: debconf Depends: debconf-2.0 Depends: ucf |Depends: debconf Depends: cdebconf Depends: dpkg [cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango4-wired:~$ Also, some of the above are already present (like dpkg, libc6, etc). Now, if you are set to automatically install 'Recommends'... the indeed you are going to have a much larger install, since part of TeX will also be installed (and yes, it is BIG). My LyX install cannot be used as a sample, since I run SVN head and build it locally (with debug symbols).

I don't quite get the test! could someone clear it out? There are USB dongles that act as an extra sound card; either as a small dongle where you can connect a microphone and headphones via a standard 8mm jack, or as a complete sound device that integrates a headset at the end of a cable. The goal is to verify that these external devices are well detected and supported, and that pulseaudio or ALSA are able to properly handle the new device and switch output to them. I guess the headphones part is a little confusing, I think it would be better worded as device directly, and let the user deal with whatever kind of device was used. For instance, if there is somehow a USB table speaker available, we shouldn't be calling that headphones :) Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre mathieu...@ubuntu.com Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/EE018C93 1967 8F7D 03A1 8F38 732E FF82 C126 33E1 EE01 8C93 -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

During testing, we do not upgrade, but rather do a complete fresh installation from the iso image. However, during bug triaging and fixing, issues have to narrowed down for the developers. Part of that is to determine if the bugs can be reproduced. In the case of a kernel bug, by trying the upstream kernel, it tells the developers if the bug is already fixed in the next kernel, or if they need to try and get it fixed before releasing the newest kernel to the general users. Since you are going to attempt another installation to test next time, normally, that is an easy thing to do as the tester. Second, I installed 12.04 Beta 2 once in the Additional Drivers i get the following: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/7966/screenshotfrom201203301.png I wonder which of the graphics drivers should I activate? What is the difference between them? (P.S.: previously -before the new installation- I activated the last one). As a tester using the development release, you do not want to install the (post-release updates) driver. That is the driver that is kept up to date after final release, as I understand it. By the way, the instructions for the test case for the External screen are not clear; shouldn't it ask to plug in an external monitor? Of course it should, otherwise it is just the same test as that of the builtin screen: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/GFX/ExternalPrimary I will let someone more knowledgeable than myself about laptop testing take this one A few other misc questions (hope it is the right place): Precise Daily on iso.qa have same end-name regardless of distro, why? For example: Ubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120331/precise-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync Lubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20120331/precise-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync You are correct. All development releases have the same name, to simplify getting the images built. They are not all the same image, but by giving them the same name, it is easier for the builder. Moreover, only Ubuntu (other distro no?) have laptop qa's? What are: Ubuntu Core Netboot Netboot is a minimal cd that allows one to install the entire system without actually downloading the image. This saves bandwidth and allows those without cd drives to do the installation. Upgrade Upgrade tests are normally from the last stable release to the development release. This insures that users running the current release will be able to upgrade their systems without having to run a complete, fresh installation. In the case of Precise Pangolin, it also includes being able to upgrade from the last LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 I hope this helps. I do not have all the answers, and if I made a mistake, I am sure someone will jump in and help out to correct it. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.

The procedures for testing your laptop and reporting results are explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures We'll use the new version the Laptop tracker [1] to test this milestone. If you find any bug with this version, you can report them on launchpad against the project ubuntu-qa-website [2]. You'll only require: 1) a launchpad account in order to authenticate on the new tracker; 2) a laptop profile (preferably from the Ubuntu Friendly website [3]) to put in the Hardware Profile field of each test you perform. if you find any bug with the release, report them on Launchpad and link them on the tracker as usual. 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!

kvm-spice no display with precise
Hello, I am having trouble with kvm-spice in precise amd64. I installed a recent snapshot and then completed all updates. I installed kvm and kvm-spice and virtmanager. I copied over a working VM from my 11.10 install. I booted the VM (WinXP) and was able to view the console and it worked just as it did under 11.10. I reconfigured the VM to use spice and attempted to power on again. virtmanager never displays any video if the server is set to spice. I am able to run 'kvm-spice WinXP.img' and boot and run the VM. Windows wants to reactivate because the hardware has changed, but overall it seems that kvm is working. I also tried to copy the kvm-spice command line from when virtmanager attempts to start the VM and I get the same response as running inside virtmanager. It appears that the VM has started but if I try to connect with spicy or spicec all I get is a black window. I do not think the VM even trys to boot with the video set to spice. The WinXP VM has a static IP and I am unable to ping it. As another test I created a new VM with an empty raw HD image and a bootable Windows install CD to boot from. The VM behaves exactly the same with no video output, just a black window. Any ideas for further troubleshooting or log files I need to look through?

RE: PowerPC questions
Thanks for the quick response on that. Sadly, I am only going to do the live session testcase for beta 2. I'll log my list of bugs against that so that they are on the record. There has been no progress on my nautilus bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/945097 . Without a working file manager it seems pointless doing any further testing. The Ubuntu ISO shouldn't be released for PowerPC IMHO if nautilus doesn't work. I'm going to fail the live session testcase and log it as a critical bug. I don't know if this is correct, but there is no testcase that specifically checks if the core applications are working. If the Lubuntu PowerPC guys have a bit of spare time, could they install nautilus and gedit and see if they are working for them? If it is a gtk bug then it could affect some of there applications also?

New weekly meeting time
The results are in for our new meeting time ;-) It seems like keeping the same day of Wednesday works for everyone if we move the time forward to 1400 UTC. I have updated the wiki, and starting April 4th we will meet at 1400 UTC in the #ubuntu-meeting room on freenode. I hope this aligns better with everyone's schedule, so please do try to attend if you can. If not, the logs can always be found here on the wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings Thanks everyone, Nicholas -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Re: Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 coming soon. Be ready to test your laptop.
Hiyas, having finally had some sleep and a re-read, it all makes sense :) The ubuntu friendly part is to profile your laptop see how it performs with *buntu installed, such things as graphics chips etc. can cause problems. Once the laptop is registered as being *buntu friendly it allows people to quickly see what laptops work with *buntu with no pain. I've either been very lucky, else full *buntu support is supported by many laptops. All mine have taken to it like ducks to water. But I am aware that not all laptops get on with the penguin mainly due to closed source drivers for graphics etc. I'll get the tests run on my EasyNote and profile it. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 coming soon. Be ready to test your laptop.
For those of us testing on laptops this will be another place to report testing. It will however be the Ubuntu flavor as of now. I did sign-up for laptop testing but my Lubuntu releases testing will come first. It appear the laptop testing will not start until the final Beta 2 spin anyway.

PowerPC questions
Hi, Would it be possible to drop the Free Software Only testcase from the Ubuntu PowerPC Desktop ISO? Currently, it is not possible to pass this testcase for this particular iso https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/944266 . There is no menu item with this option, and Colin Watson seems reluctant to put one in. I can do a workaround (passing yaboot parameters), but I'd rather the testcase was just dropped. Also, is there any way a Xubuntu Desktop ISO for PowerPC could be produced at this late stage? I'd be willing to test it. I feel it would be more use than the Ubuntu Desktop ISO. This is the current list of problems I've found through testing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues#A12.04_Precise_Pangolin . Nautilus and gedit are lacking menus and this kind of makes the Ubuntu Precise installs hard to use at the moment. It is another reason why I'm keen to get a Xubuntu ISO.

Join Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 ISO Testing
Hi everyone! Precise Beta 2 is due next week (Mar. 29th) The first set of Beta 2 candidates is ready for smoke testing on the ISO tracker. There are going to be more respins before we've got the final set but we'd appreciate any feedback we can get on these. You can test on virtual machines, but at this stage, we'd need more tests on real hardware. If you can test on spare hardware or create a partition to install Precise Beta 2, it would be very appreciated. As usual we'll be asking everyone on the QA team to participate in the image testing to ensure we have good test coverage. The procedures for testing ISO images and reporting results are explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures You can download Precise images directly from cdimages.ubuntu.com with zsync or use dl-ubuntu-test-iso from ubuntu-qa-tools available from launchpad with bazaar: $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-qa-tools Test results are tracked on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ You'll need a Launchpad account to login on the tracker. Please register if you are new to this. Let us know if you have any questions. We will coordinate testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Please, go there often to see what others are testing or what need to be tested.

Re: An idea on the structure of QA
Hi Nicholas, please see my comments in your text. On 21.3.2012 18:52, Nicholas Skaggs wrote: Hi Jiří! Thank you for your feedback. Let me try and respond to some of your questions. The document has been thru a few iterations, so likely the goals aligning with the solution so tightly is an aspect of that. Those goals were the goals I had in mind when I started down this road. The goals are probably the most important piece of the document -- it's important everyone in the community is unified around them. If not, it's hard to discuss how to implement them; and harder still to achieve them if the community is divided. yes, I agree the goals are important. Everyone involved must pull the rope in the same direction. :) The use cases is something I added to the document as a means of thinking about the problem. Use cases are part of the template for specifications -- and I believe they are included to remind you to think about the problem from different perspectives :-) I want to keep all these types of contributors in mind -- I outlined some current potential scenarios as well as users in those scenarios. The proposal doesn't directly address all of those use cases, but I wanted our plans going forward to keep them in mind. I see, we do it similarly. On the team participation front, it's certainly possible to participate in multiple teams under the proposal. This is the same as the current structure; it is possible now to participate in multiple teams. How effective someone can be at it is up to them and the requirements they take on for both teams. I certainly don't see it as a harmful thing, but I wouldn't expect it to be commonplace. It's true that participation in multiple teams is rather an exception than a common case and from that point of view my question can be perceived as a useless concern. However, from our experience a typical NetBeans community tester can offer ~4.92 hours weekly which we prefer to be spent within just one team focused on one goal. We believe it brings more solid contribution. Views can differ of course and geeks who manage everything exist. :) The question on membership renewal is a great one. Generally the approach taken by ubuntu is that you are a member until you feel you no longer can or wish to meet the requirements of being a member (afiak!). Additionally, being a member or not, if your dodging your responsibilities on the team for whatever reason, the team is likely to re-assign them so as to not be hampered. I am intrigued by your new testers comment -- do you feel you have done things to allow new folks to be so productive in comparison to seasoned testers? Why do you think they excel? I would lie if I said I knew why :) but my personal interpretation is no matter how cruel it may sound that the experienced members are probably burnt out to some extent if you understand what I mean. It's like in A new broom sweeps clean. proverb. Everything is new and exciting for the newcomers and they don't know how much is already enough. On the other hand the seasoned participants know exactly what they are expected to do and usually don't exceed that threshold. For example, Mark Wilmoth won in the last NetCAT 7.1 program [2] - a person whom we have not heard about before. [2] http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/71/activity.html However, my point was something else. There are always many people who only sign up and do nothing. While I understand that staying in such a watch-only mode can be interesting for some individuals, we obviously prefer active contributors. That's why with each new release we unsubscribe everyone and form a brand new team. Those who liked the program will immediately join again and those who didn't care will not bother getting back anyway. And of course this approach helps release those who became busy at work and hesitated whether to stay or go. When their job allows it, they will surely return. From what you wrote I got that you only let teams grow. Is this correct? Do you measure and evaluate productivity of the teams somehow? If so, what are the trends? Does the gain more or less copy the head count? Thanks for your time too Nicholas! -Jirka Great questions/comments-- I appreciate the dialog!

Re: An idea on the structure of QA
Hello Nicholas, I am quite new to this mailing list so I apologize if my post will sound ignorant. :) Actually, I admit that my intention was to learn how community QA is organized at Ubuntu to get some inspiration and improve our own processes [1] at NetBeans. [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetCAT The new structure proposal is well written and clear to me. The Goals section though seems like you created it after the solution was found and not vice-versa as it should normally be in my opinion. Also I didn't understand the purpose of Use Cases section. Did you want to assign Mark, Jim, Kathy and Michelle to some team later in the document or these were only mentioned to keep the four basic types of contributors in mind? Finally, I might have overlooked it in the text, but would it be possible to participate in some Infrastructure team and in another Testing team at the same time? If so, is this what you really want? And out of curiosity, would there be a membership renewal process? Our 8-years experience from cooperation with the NetBeans community is that although well known and seasoned testers are very useful, its typically brand new participants who excel. I hope this feedback is at least somehow helpful. Best regards, -- Jiří Kovalský NetBeans Community Manager http://www.netbeans.org On 14.3.2012 21:03, Nicholas Skaggs wrote: Hello everyone, Today during the weekly QA community meeting, I shared my idea for organizing the QA community to be more effective at communication and working efficiently with each other, in addition to helping recruit and retain new members and grow. I'd like to also share this idea with the mailing list and the community at large. I'll just repeat a little bit of what was spoken about on IRC for reference. The full log is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings/QA/20120314 The background on this proposal stems from my own attempts at learning about QA in ubuntu. I went on a misson to list and catalog everyone doing QA work in ubuntu (although I'm sure I missed some people, and if so, I apologize!). I posted the results of this on my blog the other day. http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/03/whos-who-on-quality-in-ubuntu.html Once I had the list of teams, it became apparent that communicating and understanding everything that was going on was going to be hard. In the weeks following me creating my list, I learned about more teams, more interesting work being done, etc. It seemed like when I would hear about a new tool I would find out someone else in ubuntu had used/was using that tool and here was there work, etc. Given these experiences, I started writing some thoughts about a proposal to organize the QA community to meet 3 specific goals that I thought would be hard to meet under the current structure: Ease of Communication Ability to recruit and retain community members Ability to scale with growth potential These are also in the proposal, which you can read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ProposedTeamStructure I'd like everyone to remember that of course this is just an idea. I am hoping to spark some discussion about solving the problems that I have brought up. Namely, how can we better communicate as a diverse group of teams?; how can we work more effectively?; how can we grow our community? Ideas and input on the proposal, as well as the problems/solutions are very welcome. I want us to rally around solving these issues, and come to the best solution as a community for us to pursue. Lastly I wanted to bring up an important piece about the proposal. It is purposefully sparse on implementation details. I gave a proposed structure, but I did not directly assign teams into that structure. This was intentional. I want us as a community to talk about specific teams and the changes would happen to them as part of drafting a blueprint to implement this plan. To this end, the plan is focused more upon the work items we value and hold as part of the QA community and the people and roles they can fill to accomplish that work. The specifics on the teams those people belong to, I see as a part of the next steps in writing and executing an implementation plan. The timeline of next steps is to gather feedback and discussion on this proposal, decide to move forward with a proposal (this proposal, a modified version of it, or perhaps a different proposal entirely), create a workplan and finally execute the plan.

Ubiquity Installer Sprint
Greetings everyone. As mentioned in last week's meeting, the ubiquity team is having an installer sprint starting today and ending on Weds. As a qa community, we have the opportunity to help participate and confirm bug fixes, as well as get possible critical bugs that are still outstanding fixed. The idea is to test the daily iso's specifically for the bugs the team has created fixes for. A summary of each day's changes can be found on this page: http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-installer-sprint. If your curious about following along in realtime, visit and idle in the #ubuntu-installer channel on freenode. For testing purposes, we will use the daily iso builds on the iso tracker to test; using the bugs mentioned as focal points for testing. We will coordinate our testing in the #ubuntu-testing channel. If you find a bug has not been fixed that should have been fixed as part of the changes, please report directly against that bug. If you find a new issue, report it against ubiquity as usual. The current plan is as follows: Monday, Mar 19th. Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Tuesday, Mar 20th QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Wednesday, Mar 21st QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Thursday, Mar 22nd QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Lastly, since our coverage is not intended nor likely to be completely comphrehensive, this is a good time to test more exotic / problematic or undertested hardware. People who have physical access to such hardware (such as powerpc's, or mac intels and other EFI booting hardware, wubi and dual booting, etc) are especially encouraged to take part and make sure there hardware has good support for precise. If you've never done iso testing before, this is also a good time to try it out. The schedule and pace will be much more relaxed with iso's only occurring once a day, and the tests being targeted for specific issues. Thanks everyone and happy testing!

Re: An idea on the structure of QA
Yes, I will be a track lead for QA at UDS, and I plan to have a session on this. I hope that UDS can help us finalize some of these decisions surrounding organization, procedures, infrastructure, etc. But we don't have to wait until UDS to talk about it :-) I hope we can discuss before UDS and use UDS to actually plan the work we had already mostly decided upon.

As discussed at our last IRC meeting, I am including a poll to see what times/days would work best for us to meet. I'll leave the poll open until after our next meeting, during which we can discuss the results, and make any scheduling changes based upon them if we feel it's necessary.

Re: Manual Application Testing plans for beta1
Chris, yes you should still file them locally. If the issue is an upstream one (and not ubuntu specific), the bug should get upstreamed. You may be asked to do this, or you can do this yourself if you wish by opening a bug upstream and linking it to the lp bug. However, it's important to report bugs to lp first, as they may be ubuntu specific. On a semi-related note, I'm trying to help get some more libreoffice tests for beta2.. the libreoffice team has been responsive so far, so fingers crossed ;-) Nicholas On 03/05/2012 12:33 PM, chris hermansen wrote: I checked this morning (Vancouver time) and this problem has already been reported in Precise, so I added myself to the bug and also a few details.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Grey on Black Bug.
Hello fellow testers, Regarding Lubuntu PowerPC precise-desktop 20120301 - - Macintosh eMac G4 800 MHz (ATI graphics) - Install failed. Installer starts, installer screens dark, text nearly impossible to read. Changing look and feel to Clearlooks and changing foreground color allows text to be visible. However, installer stops at Keyboard layout. - Macintosh iMac G3 400 MHz (ATI graphics) - Install failed. CD boots to command prompt. (live video=ofonly doesn't help) - Macintosh iBook G4 800 MHz (ATI graphics) - Installs and runs successfully. Installs, but installer screens dark, text hard, but not impossible to read. Changing look and feel to Clearlooks and changing foreground color allows text to be visible. Regarding Lubuntu PowerPC precise-alternate 20120301 - - Macintosh eMac G4 800 MHz (ATI graphics) - Installs and runs successfully. Note: installer screen was red, with blue highlights (thought it was the other way around). Note: text Lubuntu 12.04 is not centered on screen when booting, positioned off-center, upper left quadrant of screen. - Macintosh iMac G3 400 MHz (ATI graphics) - Install failed. Installs, but boots to command prompt following install. Entering startx returns: fglrx error, module not found, Framebuffer error.

Re: Grey on Black Bug.
I don't think I can do much more for Abiword, since it looks it use GTK its own way, I mean, that app doesn't respect the backboard function when drawing (the background) and uses another controls. But I hope fixing the GTK problem will solve Abiword issues at the same time. BTW, no answer from GTK people yet. They're working on it.

Lubuntu Beta 1
Hi, firstly can I thank everyone who has gone far and beyond the call of duty to get us from a critical bug on 12.04 to Beta 1 releases that install on pretty much everything except G3 Power PC's. The Beta 1's being released are: 1) i386 2) amd64 3) ppc The amd64+mac family have had no testers, so a Beta 1 cannot be released. If you know of someone with an Intel Mac, please do ask if they would be willing to test. On the lubuntu-qa mailing list [1] I am going to start some new threads. 1) i386 testing 2) amd64 testing 3) mac G3 testing 4) mac G4 testing 5) Non-pae testing (this is using the mini iso system for old chip-sets). If we get testers for the Intel Mac, a thread will be started for that. When entering comments, please remember to use the Reply to All option. Once again, thank you to everyone who has got us this far. Lubuntu 12.04 will rock! Phill.

Ubuntu Precise Beta 1 coming this week and ISOs ready for testing
Hi everyone! Ubuntu Precise Beta 1, the next Ubuntu LTS, is going to be released on March 1rst and candidate images started appearing today. As usual we'll be asking everyone on the QA team to participate in the image testing to ensure we have good test coverage. The procedures for testing ISO images and reporting results are explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures You can download Precise images directly from cdimages.ubuntu.com with zsync or use dl-ubuntu-test-iso from ubuntu-qa-tools available from launchpad with bazaar: $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-qa-tools Test results are tracked on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ You'll need a Launchpad account to login on the tracker. Please register if you are new to this. The Foundation Team use a new tagging plan for report against Ubiquity (the desktop installer) to indicate where the issue occurred. The syntax of the tags is ubi-step where step is the name of the step as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity This documentation as been refreshed, but don't hesitate to improve it. Please let us know if you have any questions. We will coordinate testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Please, go there often to see what others are testing or what needs to be tested.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Lubuntu precise-alternate 20120223 booting to command prompt
Noticed we had new isos for 20120224 so I zsync both desktops and alternate isos 32bit 64bit. Tried the desktop 386i 32bit first got the ubuntu@ubuntu command prompt tried every command I know but got no where. Tried the desktop amd64bit got the exact same command prompt. Not one to give up... I decided to try the alternate 386i iso. Sorry to say it looked like it was going to install but upon boot I get the command prompt again.

apt-term.log in jenkins only shows removals on upgrade, not installs?
Hi folks, When trying to confirm whether bug #911659 is still present, I noticed that in the most recent successful upgrade test in jenkins, https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise%20Upgrade%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/precise-upgrade-lucid-main/ARCH=amd64,LTS=lts,PROFILE=main-all,label=upgrade-test/30/, includes an apt-term.log that *only* shows removals, no upgrades/installs. I believe this is because this is the log of the *second* apt invocation by do-release-upgrade, to remove unnecessary packages from the system after the main body of the upgrade has been completed. Is the terminal log of the upgrade itself available in another location, that can be attached to the jenkins build report? Or has this been irremediably clobbered? (In the latter case, should we perhaps be invoking do-release-upgrade in such a way that it doesn't do the post-upgrade cleanup, so that we preserve the term log for the upgrade phase?)

ppc daily-live has no download links???
now that i got the daily of 20120216 working on the powerbook, i'd like to start doing daily official testing but when i got to the download link it says the build id is invalid or there are no links. there are no such problems with the x86 version. admittedly, i could just manually take care of it but it's nice to know that i'm on the same page. -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

14-16 feb update compiz (and other?) problems
Hey guys , since I updated these days I'm having all kinds of trouble with the GUI . Edge bindings not working , compiz crashing , surprising logouts , the alleged removal of intellihide doesn't affect me (which is funny because I was one of the people to argue against that the most) , the dash is buggy . There's probably 2-3 more things . The last upgrade I did was not full (apparently some dependencies issues): Synaptic has no problems until downloading ,when it fails to find http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libaacs/libaacs0_0.3.0-3_amd64.deb Update manager shows (as not installable without a partial upgrade ) : enlightened sound library gwibber gstfarsight VLC (each with more than one package) So 1. Do I file a bug with a general description like that email and attach info from apport to help solve things 2.Do a clear install (accept that my system is broken now) 3. Wait until some more updates come along I have to mention that I'm installing the proposed updates also .

Clickpad Testing Opportunity
Hello everyone. I wanted to inform you of another testing opportunity. There's going to be many in the next couple weeks, so bear with me. Feel free to test what interests you or is pertinent to hardware/problems you may have, etc. "Clickpad" devices are becoming more and more popular. A "clickpad" is a touchpad with buttons integrated into the touch surface. This includes many variations of Synaptics trackpads and all the multitouch Apple trackpads. Testing is needed to support these devices for precise. A new driver is available in a ppa for testing. Please see this post for the details: http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/02/call-for-testing-clickpad.html Check out it - and feel free to post any questions here. The testing goes on until Feb 17th. Thanks! Nicholas -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
