It's a race condition in the boot process. It is not a security issue because if you skip, you don't have access to the encrypted area, so there's no information exposure. For me, if I wait a few seconds it just goes away on it's own.

We're also likely to drop the alternates during beta 2 if we get a fully qualified set of desktop images, so we'd also need the alternate only cases added to Kubuntu desktop as well.

This should be discussed on ubuntu-devel too. It doesn't just affect QA and triage.

Need new Kubuntu test case
We are currently missing a test case for the "Guided" option for the Kubuntu live images. This will probably be renamed, but that's what it's called for now. It replaces the existing O/S install in a partition with a new one.

Post Beta 2 Testing of Kubuntu Live CD Installer
There were a concerning number of issues associated with Live CD installs during Kubuntu Beta 2 testing. We now have an updated build of the installer [1] that will hopefully make a significant improvement. In order to pave the way for a great Kubuntu 10.04 Release Candidate, we have produced and updated set of images [2] for testing. Please try to take some time this weekend and test these images. The Beta 2 test results are available on the Ubuntu QA ISO Tracker [3]. Please see if these issues are fixed and if necessary file new bugs. The ISO tracker is still open for test results, so you can add your results to the tracker, but please include a comment that you tested with kubuntu/daily-live/20100410/ and not the Beta 2 image if you do. You can also reply to this mail. If you have questions, mail the list or come visit us in #kubuntu-devel.

Re: Help Wanted: USB creator test cases
> Hello guys, > > Recently I wrote some test cases for the USB disk creator (now Startup > Disk Creator) in the wiki [1]. > [1] http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/StartupDiskCreator I took a look at this. One small point is that the way to start USB creator is slightly different in Kubuntu. The wiki says: Open System->Administration->Startup Disk Creator In Kubuntu it's: Open System->Startup Disk Creator It would be nice to have that difference noted so Kubuntu testers won't be confused.
