Workaround field for bugs
Hi everybody, Unfortunately I missed the last IRC Meeting but I've seen on the log that Brian Murray informed you about his research (thanks again Brian!). For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the relevant links: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugsKnownWorkAround https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/54652 So, at moment around 10.000 bugs have information about workaround but the point is that the information is not properly exposed. One example is the bug #753971 ( http://pad.lv/753971 ) Workarounds for this bug would be: - Log in on Classic Mode since only Unity is affected - Downgrade unity to 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 sudo apt-get install unity=3.8.10-0ubuntu2 unity-common=3.8.10-0ubuntu2 But the information is spread on the comments, although this is a well known bug in Natty in which many well known developers have ran into (and as far I understand this case isn't included in Brian research because there's no workaround keyword on the description). So, my opinion is still that we need to improve the workaround exposition improving launchpad itself, but I don't know where to move the next step. Suggestions?

It looks like desktop testing and iso testing may be the best places to get my feet wet. Hi Lee, take a look to the Open Week Schedule (1); today at 15.00 UTC we'll talk about ISO testing. I hope to see you in there.

Re: Testing/LoCos wiki page updated

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? Hello Grant! Yes, IMHO we should do that. Do you have an idea about how integrate these pages?

Re: New Laptop Tester Clarification
Alle 18:22 del 26/3/2011, Andrew Barilla ha scritto: I'm all setup with profiles and accounts to be a tester but was wondering about a couple issues. Hello Andrew, thanks for help us testing Ubuntu! 1) If we're testing something is in active development like Natty, should we install the Milestone release and then not do any updates before doing the testing or should the system be full updated? All Laptop tests are expected to be tested with milestone release. Actually there's a Natty fake build, the official Natty release will start next week with the Beta1 release. Please note that on the Laptop tracker there's also the previous stable version. It's important to have laptop tested also with previous version so that we can compare tests and find regression. 2) How important is it too remove all configuration from the home directory before doing testing? I haven't looked through the instructions for every test yet, but I'm wondering if it's possible that existing configuration could mess up the tests? Normally it's important because some configuration can impact the results. If you have configuration on your home and you don't want to delete it, you could create a new fresh user.

Tests from Italian LoCo Team
Hi everybody, My name's Paolo, from Italian LoCo Team. During last UDS I attended to the Increase community involvement in testing session and with my friend Alessio Treglia (https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro) we decided to set up a testing team inside our LoCo to make easier testing Ubuntu. I just set up the Italian wiki page (1) where we're traslating English pages to Italian. Also we'll provide mentoring for new member in reporting test and bugs in a proper form. During this initial phase I would like to know what you suggest us for first test cases. I was wondering to suggest to new contributors Live CD testing making it really easy and creating a first community around tests. What do you think? Do this make sense for you or it should be better cover another kind of tests?
