new tester
I hope to be able to be of assistance in this project. I have two older laptops that have some quirks which may be useful in testing, both of which have Natty test installs on them: a Dell Inspiron 1501, which has problems with video mode setting, though that seems to be fixed now in Natty Beta 1 + updates, and a Broadcom wireless adapter which doesn't work under the SVA driver; and a Toshiba Satellite A70, which has the usual Toshiba ACPI problems and an ATI IGP graphics chipset that doesn't seem to handle Unity or perhaps isn't certified for it (I haven't checked for blacklisting). -- Chris Hermansen · clherman...@gmail.com C'est ma façon de parler. -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
Hi new tester, happy to help where I can.
Sorry to spam you all but it said to send to everyone when you start to introduce yourself. May name is Andrew Toogood, I live in New Zealand, I have been working in IS management for the last 5 years with technical/development background. I have used Ubuntu since 9.4 and have fully converted over all the household machines for about 2 years. I have been doing testing since Alpha 3 when Nvidia drivers started working but did not realise there was a well organised team to be part of that could methodically work through it together. When I saw what was left to do at Alpha I must admit if I was the PM I would have been very nervous, but I have been pleased to see the stability increasing and features settling down. Is it always this close a thing with 6 month cycles? Looking forward to working with you all.

Re: New Tester
About the Fn key issue - is it possible that it's reversed? For example to change my volume I just press the F9, F10 or F11 keys but to send F9 I actually have to press Fn-F9. I'm getting this in all versions of Linux I've tried on this laptop : natty, maverick, arch and opensuse 11.4.

Re: New Tester
Neil- Thanks for the welcome! So far a few of the issues I've seen that do not happen on 10.10: - ASUS DPI mouse not recognized. - Unplugging and plugging back in the AC power source has twice randomly turned off the monitor and forced me to hard shutdown my laptop. - The Fn (Function) key no longer works for things such as lowering volume, turning on/off wireless internet, ... There's been other smaller issues such as improper window redrawing artifacts. I'll try to find ways to properly reproduce the issues and make bug reports when I can get a little bit more information. Look forward to working with you! -Louis Casillas On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 12:56 PM, Neil Perry wrote: > Hello Louis, > > Great news about helping make Ubuntu better! > > What kind of problems are you having?

Re: New Tester
Hello Louis, Great news about helping make Ubuntu better! What kind of problems are you having? Its always best to open a bug report per issue you are having. Remember that 'ubuntu-bug' is your friend from the terminal! It'll try to include everything that is needed for the developer to fix your issue!

Hello! My name is Louis Casillas and I'd like to do my part in making Ubuntu better and better. My main machine is an ASUS G73JW series laptop. I triple boot Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.10, and now Ubuntu Natty Narwhal A3. So far I've been having a lot of issues running Natty Narwhal so I'd be interested in getting in touch with the best people to discuss these issues. Look forward to being useful! -Louis Casillas -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
