Re: Some clarifying questions
Ho and Phil! Thank you for your comments, but I think I was not able to articulate my questions correctly. When it comes to test images I can use VM, a USB or a DVD on any type of Hardware, right? But I have want to test my Laptop **not an image** then I have to use the hardware of my laptop not a VM. See the wiki for more information -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures Base on the information above, I need to test the laptop with an image, and here comes my next question what image do I use, the devolopment or stable image? I hope this will not create more confusion. Again, thank you!

memory needed for Lubuntu tested with vbox
I want to share these results from testing to install and run Lubuntu with low memory. I was using today's daily build of Lubuntu Raring desktop and alternate iso files. See the attached file.

Re: Raring Release Hangout
I like the idea as well. I am in Connecticut EDT time and will try to make the 2200 UTC session. If it is possible I like to join the hangout to give a tutorial on testing the kubuntu images.

So with that in mind, I'd like to know everyone's thoughts about having a hangout on air with the following agenda (we'll be in IRC too of course!): -- ~5 min sessions for Demoing something you've done / Talking about something cool (new stuff in raring? cool testing tool?) / Sharing your testing setup. We would encourage folks to signup for a slot, but we'll take walk-ons :-) If you've been to a UDS, we'll run this similar to lightning talks -- Q A with me -- Virtual Release Party! The date of April 26th has also been proposed. What dates and times work for everyone? If there's enough interest, I am happy to have 2 hangouts.. one around 2200 UTC, and another at like 1400 UTC to try and cover everyone across the world :-) What other ideas does everyone have? Any other topics you would like to see discussed? Would you rather see something besides a hangout? Comments? Feedback? Discuss! Nicholas Hello Nicholas! Love the idea and April 26th at 1400-UTC sounds good to me =) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFpdy0ACgkQ6/kwA8Uz+AhrKgCgnYQ67DT4EUVpAoRRZbapP5GB 4dgAn0biiCER3s5cqmx2UhuL9rs35HBn =hdqX -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
Re: Some clarifying questions
Jose, You can test an image using either VM, USB or DVD. Those options are still available if you are just testing the logical (software) of the OS. If you want to see confirm your laptop's hardware is works with ubuntu, then you want to test the ubuntu images on bare metal, which means run the images from a DVD or USB and run checkbox. The same thing can be done with a PC. Istimsak Abdulbasir On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 1:34 PM, Jose I Diaz Bardales jose.dbarda...@gmail.com wrote: Ho and Phil!

dist-upgrade in ubuntu
Is this right command to update a ubuntu system? sudo dist-upgrade #not sure if I spelled it right What is the difference from apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade?

Re: dist-upgrade in ubuntu
From the man pages for apt:- *sudo apt-get upgrade* * * *upgrade *is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available. *sudo apt-get dist-upgrade* * **dist-upgrade* in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a smart conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages.

And sudo do-release-upgrade upgrades the release itself.
