RE: PowerPC questions

[o jordan]

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?

Regards

Adam

 Thanks for pointing this out. I removed the test case for PowerPC.

PowerPC questions

[o jordan]

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. Regards Adam  --
