Re: Fwd: [Bug 1183009] Re: Test Needed: Gimp

2013-06-17 Thread Pierre Equoy
The Gimp 2.8 release notes page <
http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html> includes some features we
should test.


   - Single-Window Mode [test already written]
   - Save And Export
   - Layer Groups
   - Tools Drawn With Cairo
   - On-Canvas Text Editing
   - Keyboard Shortcut Changes
   - Simple Math In Size Entries
   - Cage Transform Tool

I will raise an issue in launchpad with this list, so once the issue is
closed, we will cover the basic new features from Gimp 2.8.

Thanks, Nicholas, that makes a lot of sense!

I will review the main features of Gimp when I have some spare time, and
build up some bug description to improve the manual test cases.

I saw the first cadence has started, and all of a sudden I understood how
these manual test cases were used by the community. Awesome! :)

Cheers,

Re: Cadence Week 1 is here!

2013-06-17 Thread Nicholas Skaggs
Ok, I added testcases for these products that somehow failed to push the 
first time :-)


Simple Scan
Brasero
System Settings
Transmission

In addition installation instructions should exist for all packages. Thanks!

Alright, I know several of you are particularly excited about
this. Our first cadence week is here. Starting June 15th, we'll
be testing images and packages over the course of the next week.
So what is cadence testing? Have a look at this page to get more
information:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence

In short, as a community we're testing different things about
every ~2 weeks in ubuntu, and sharing results to flesh out bugs
and problem areas. The full schedule is here, but note the
release schedule changed TODAY, so this will be updated as well
to reflect those changes very soon.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy

So what's up for testing this week? The daily images, the default
applications in ubuntu (we'll start tracking them all throughout
the cycle) and a new version of alsa testing. Full details are here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy/Week1

If you need help submitting results, have a look at this page,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker, and the walkthroughs
listed. Of particular interest is the ISO testing and Cadence
Week testing walkthroughs.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

Do note that you don't need anything special to participate in
cadence week testing! Both an installed version of the
development branch of ubuntu (aka saucy) in a VM or on a real
box, or even a live session of the lastest daily image will work.

Good luck! Bear in mind this is the first week for our new
format, so there may be growing pains. Feedback is very much
appreciated. Thanks and Happy Testing everyone,

Nicholas

PS. A note; as of this email, I am still adding the ubuntu
default apps, slowly but surely to the package tracker. They
should be there before tomorrow :-) Also the version tracking is
still coming online in case your watching :-)

Re: Update on 13.10 64-bit server + Dell PowerEdge R610

2013-06-17 Thread Phill Whiteside
Hi,

I did find a thread of HDA having issues[1], although most likely not
related to your problem, it does have a link to update the system. In all
honesty, I'd suggest posting on that forum area as they do reply to issues
(unlike some 'support' areas) and dell are aware of ubuntu and there is
also a forum area on ubuntuforum [2] dedicated to Dell which should also be
of help.

Regards,

Phill.

I went on this channel (#ubuntu-server) a couple of days ago, and it was 
completely useless.  People talking about playing volleyball and asking 
extremely naive questions ("why is it that when I type su - I get a ~ 
prompt and when I type su I get a / prompt?") that google could answer 
in 2 seconds.  Unbelievable.  In any case I posted the question, and it 
was met with a deafening silence (most likely since it didn't involve 
volleyball or unix neophyte questions).


I'm going to try upgrading the firmware on the HBA -- I'm starting to 
suspect that this is what my problem is.

Yes, both drives are working.  I can pull either drive out of the 
server chassis and install/boot 13.10 server on the remaining drive no 
problem.  As soon as I shut the machine down and re-insert the second 
drive (whichever one that might be), the system ceases to boot; i.e. I 
don't get a console and the machine isn't pingable.



There's nothing in the BIOS which refers to the disk configuration; 
I've looked a couple of times already.  The HBA is actually made by 
LSI and has it's own BIOS you can access.  This BIOS doesn't have any 
configurable options that I can find.

Re: Fwd: [Bug 1183009] Re: Test Needed: Gimp

2013-06-17 Thread Nicholas Skaggs
Pierre, if there are specific things that should be added to the gimp 
testcase, simply file a new bug for them :-) Otherwise, continuously 
improving testcases is the name of the game so anyone is free to add 
things to it at any time. The lack of a bug doesn't stop you from 
improving a test.


That said, indeed it may not get as much attention if there are no open 
bugs, so I would encourage you to open a new bug describing the tests 
still needed. Most of the bugs on the tracker call for the initial 
testcase of the package. Once an initial test has been written and that 
bug is closed, we can consider filing additional bugs for specific tests 
needed against the package if we want to ensure the testcase is expanded 
to include those testcases. I trust that makes sense!

Welcome John!

I would encourage you to have a look through the following pages;

https://qa.ubuntu.com/getting-involved/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam
http://www.youtube.com/qualitybecomesyou

Your first step is to join us and say hello and you've done that. Now, 
pick out what your interested in and dive in. Use the activities page on 
the wiki to help.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities

From there, look at dedicating a machine to testing the development 
release. You can install and update your machine as saucy is developed, 
and you can use it for testing as we track packages throughout the 
cycle. We call this cadence testing, and it's happening right now this 
week! Check out the links below and try out some tests for the packages 
and images listed.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy/Week1

We can always use some more eyes reporting and confirming bug reports 
(as well as breaking things)! As always ask questions at any point via 
IRC or this mailing list. You can reach our IRC channel by following the 
link below:


http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-quality

BTW John, I've heard of Moldova before :-) It's wonderful to know ubuntu 
reaches across so many countries and borders. Thanks for representing 
Moldova. We should start getting new folks to post a picture of there 
home country -- so many wonderful landscapes to see (assuming your a 
landscape nut like me ;-) ).
