We <3 automated tests!

Wonderful to hear from you Richard. We would love help on any of the 
automated test projects we have going on. There is some really cool work 
going on. Do check out the test writer page:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/TestWriter

The official documentation for autopilot including tutorial is here: 
http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/. There's a quick tutorial for a qml 
app too: 
http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/quality/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/.
Finally, there's a video as well of writing tests for a couple of qml 
apps -- it's quite long, but covers everything from checking out the 
code to submitting the merge :-): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD_e_xqlBbg


Mostly, I would encourage you to pick a test or project to contribute to 
and dive in! Ask questions and we'll help. Getting your first merge 
proposal in is a wonderful feeling, and we're happy to help you do so. 
Feel free to show up on IRC at get realtime help as well. We're in 
#ubuntu-quality on freenode.

Hi,

The French speaking community has a very wide website with a wiki providing a 
very rich
documentation regularly updated by a team running a dedicated mailing list and 
an
IRC channel, a large forum, and a planet:
http://ubuntu-fr.org/

(providing information to people from about 250 countries where French is 
spoken)


> Examples:
> 
> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Download:
http://ubuntu-fr.org/telechargement


> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME

Download the French Edition (built from the official version):
http://ubuntu-fr.org/telechargement?variante=ubuntufr#

For the simple reason that many users (from any country) just don't speak 
English at all.
Some of them speak a little English, let's say from 10 words to a few current 
sentences
and some who are a little better in English simply don't find it very 
comfortable to deal
with, be it written language or videos.

This is why paid services do exist, as well as machines ready for use with the 
system. :)

For god's sake, touchscreens should work out of the box

2013-10-25 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette
I took a 6-year old computer with a builtin touchscreen (not a notebook) 
that had Ubuntu 7.10 installed on it, and it had the touchscreen 
working, though I guess it had needed some work to set it up correctly.


I installed 12.04 LTS on it, wiping out the old installation. The 
touchscreen didn't work out of the box. It definitely should. It's 
absurd that on a machine that has a touchscreen for which support has 
been available for 6 years, the touchscreen is not enabled by default 
and working just out of the box.


Additionally, I followed literally step-by-step the guide at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen to configure the touch screen (it is 
a shame that one has to do all that stuff manually in the first place), 
and I ended up with a machine that won't boot.

Welcome Jack!

You've already got a 14.04 install, so as you say, you are ready to go. 
Have a look at the roles page if you haven't to see what all you can do 
during the cycle.

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

2013-10-25 Thread Thomas Ward
Back when we had Brainstorm, I suggested Ubiquity (Ubuntu installer) be given a 
warning popup for both side-by-side and "use whole disk" as well as custom 
partitioning, which requires you to acknowledge the risk of such installations 
and that all information would be at risk of being destroyed (or in case of 
"use whole disk" then the data erasure was guaranteed).

But through experience on Ask Ubuntu, I've unfortunately come to realize one 
persistent truth:  no matter how many warnings you put in place about 
something, a substantial portion of all people will ignore it.  This is the 
case in when we answer questions about dual boots and say "back up your data 
you want to keep first in case something bad happens."  Almost nobody listens 
to that and data gets lost by user error in the first place.

So while I commend everyone here for identifying this fatal weakness in the 
installation process, I must also point out the weakness of people in general, 
in that they don't read half the messages proposed to them during installation 
and pre-installation.  And no matter how many warnings or risk acceptance 
requirements are put in place (videos included too) there's no true way to 
remove all issues of PEBKAC from the installation process.

Hello William,

Once this issue has been raised by my good friend Nio, I have immediately
updated Ubuntu GNOME Website and Ubuntu GNOME Download Wiki Page:

http://ubuntugnome.org/download/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME#Downloading_Ubuntu_GNOME_13.10

Now, if someone decided NOT to read the first note which is "please
backup..." then I am afraid if he/she will come and complain that Ubuntu
GNOME (or any flavour) has wiped my Data and it is Linux's Fault, I can
simply send him/her that link with the screenshot of the installer where it
says: "Warning (in red), ..."

The video (HOWTO Install) is JUST an extra step to go the extra miles (that
I always love to do).

So, from my side, I think I can assure you that Ubuntu GNOME has advised
its users to backup their data before even downloading the ISO :D

Hi Julien,

Thanks for your reply :)

AFAIK, Ubuntu, and all the other official flavours, have their website in
English Language and same goes to the Official Wiki Pages :)
For the last 3 years, I have never seen an official website nor a Wiki Page
in different Language

Examples:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME

Just to be extra clear, my suggestion was plain and simple and it is up to
the community to decide:

1- Add a note just like:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME#Downloading_Ubuntu_GNOME_13.10and
http://ubuntugnome.org/download/ which is:

"Please, *BACKUP* your important Data before anything else. Don't assume
that Ubuntu GNOME will do it for you automatically."

2- If we do want to go the extra miles, at the very same place, we can
include a YouTube Link for a Video. That video will explain HOWTO Install
the System, no more, no less.

I don't know why these two simple suggestions are creating so much
confusion?

After all, there is NOTHING broken to be fixed, IMHO. I do not find any
problem with the current installer.

However, for those who insist there is something wrong and that we should
take extra steps then:

"Adding a pop-up" message asking someone to BACKUP his/her Data WHILE
he/she is actually installing the system is non-sense to me. This MUST be
mentioned 'before' someone starts to download :)

"Adding a pop-up" message to warn the user that all his data will be lost
could be a good point as a 'second warning' and I do insist it is a second
one since the first is already mentioned. I have no problem with that. It
is up to our developers to decide this :)

I fail to see why we should do a video in all the languages? the websites
and the wiki area all using English Language :)

Forget the video if you don't want to explain to the users how to install
the system. But please, understand many users may really fail to install
the system no matter how many HOWTOs are written on google.


Anyway, I have given a simple solution. It is up to the community now to
decide what is the best for a newcomer :)

For Ubuntu GNOME, I will solve this my way ;)

So far, I have never received any complaint about that. I mean, Ubuntu
GNOME specific. Once my voice is back to normal, I am going to create a
video for HOWTO Install Ubuntu GNOME. You will find it on my Channel if you
are interested.

Thanks :)
P.S.
We are at the end of 2013 and I wonder when can we get the best of the
technologies?

Okay, I think it's safe to say that so far having the initial selection

that the idea of have a youtube video is a good one: how, where, and

should be somewhat passive. We don't want to scare people off -

Hi Jack,


If someone has NO Internet connection, then he/she would not be able

obviously not be able to install anything to start with ;)


The video Link will NOT be included on the Installer -
http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/10/ubiquity-and-installing-ubuntu-and-its.html



It should be included it 'before' the download Link.


I have done an example on our Website (Ubuntu GNOME Website) where it
is so clear that the Video Link is before the Download Link.


That is all :)

William,
I would say that the video would be a pain because Ubuntu is used around
the world and the video would have to be painstakingly be made in many
languages. The pop-up with the check-box would be the way to go its not
intrusive or anything and it wouldn't be too hard to add.

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

2013-10-25 Thread james
You could easily make a video and have the file located locally and just point 
the html/pop-up to the file, that way it would not matter if they had internet 
or not.

Just an idea

Hi Jack,

If someone has NO Internet connection, then he/she would not be able 
to 'download' the ISO to begin with and therefore, he/she will 
obviously not be able to install anything to start with ;)


Of course they can.

They can buy it from Canonical.

They can ask someone to download it for them.

Hi Jack,

If someone has NO Internet connection, then he/she would not be able to
'download' the ISO to begin with and therefore, he/she will obviously not
be able to install anything to start with ;)

The video Link will NOT be included on the Installer -
http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/10/ubiquity-and-installing-ubuntu-and-its.html

It should be included it 'before' the download Link.

I have done an example on our Website (Ubuntu GNOME Website) where it is so
clear that the Video Link is before the Download Link.

That is all :)

In my opinion the pop-up is a great idea. Also, The youtube video is a good

While the idea of having a pop-up warning message might be useful for those
who are lazy enough (because they didn't read the 'first' warning), the
question is, will they read the 'second' warning or will ignore it just
like they did with the 'first' one? :) but, let's all remember that this
work will be done by developers and I am sure many will be involved to
approve it :) not sure how long that will take and how long we need to
carry on to discuss that.

IMHO, if it is not broken, don't fix it :D

Exactly :)
As my good friend Iberê Fernandes mentioned, Windows Users are very much
used to "Click", "Next", "Next", "Ok", etc.

I am sure you all know what I am talking about. We all have been Windows
Users. Have we ever read the whole message? or have we only actually read
the very last sentence which is usually a Question and hit either "Ok" or
"Cancel"? :)

Why would we forget that now? I mean, those Windows Users who are newcomers
to Linux will do exactly the same. They used not to read. In fact, some
Linux Users don't read as well. I am afraid we can NOT blame the system
here :)

What amjjawad thinks is this:
Support and Help and newcomers to Linux as much as possible but try to:

1- Educate/Guide them how to help themselves once, they will remember that
forever and will then start to do the same with other newcomers - Open
Their Mind, Make Them Think Linux :)

2- Take them under your wing and make them feel home but that does not mean
you feed them the Windows Way, they need to feel the difference and they
need to breathe the Linux Way of everything - Yes, step by step for sure :)


I know my way of doing everything is different from most of other people
but that is the real fun and challenge. I personally NOT looking for new
members who are using Linux the Windows Way, nor looking for taking over
all Desktop/Laptops and convert that to Linux. What I am usually trying to
do is to build a community of Linux Contributors who are NOT only 'using'
Linux, but spread it, educate themselves to educate others and be active
contributor to the best software on earth, that is Linux. This is, IMHO,
how Linux can simply take over Windows :)

I understand YMMV but this is me :)

I agree that a popup warning would be a good idea when the user clicks
Install after selecting to overwrite everything.  Then there should be
no doubt about what is going to happen.  I am not sure that a video
will help as I am not convinced that most will look at it, but on the
other hand it would do no harm and could be useful for those that do
look.  However one does have to remember that it will have to be
re-done every time the interface changes otherwise it will just add to
the confusion.

Colin, Look at the screen shot part way down this post, it clearly

http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/10/ubiquity-and-installing-ubuntu-and-its.html

That seems pretty clear to me. Although since this is in fact happening, 
the suggestion made in the linked blog post should likely be 
implemented, but there should probably first also be an extra pop-up 
warning when people select this option. If they don't heed the warning 
the first time when they make their selection, oops. If they don't heed 
a second pop up warning, shame on them. But if they are so bad with 
computers that they still really truly don't understand what's 
happening, I agree with the blog post that they should be directed to a 
youtube video explaining everything.


We now live in an era where people who have absolutely no idea what they 
are doing with computers on a technical level want to install Linux. I 
call that a good thing and we should give them all the direction they need.


The history of MS Windows is laden with repetitive "are you sure" "are 
you sure you're sure" dialogs because apparently a lot of people 
actually need that. Perhaps the obviousness of the warning as it stands 
is something people like us take for granted because we are computer 
inclined and everyone else really is that... dense for lack of a better 
word. I suppose we need to help the masses on board by whatever means.




Perhaps "remove windows and all your files completely - they cannot be
recovered except possibly from whatever backup you have" would be better.

 It is really too bad, and something that should be improved in

Hi,

All that can be solved in one two 'very' simple steps:

1- Create a YouTube Video that explains in details HOWTO Install
Ubuntu
with all the possible cases
2- Add a link for that YouTube Video right next to the Download Link
so
those who download Ubuntu or any flavour can 'watch' and 'learn' how
to
install the system

Time is money and saving time is a very important factor in just 6
months cycle :)

Just a very quick thought!

because those who might need the video might not play it.

Hello Jack :)

Welcome to Ubuntu Quality Team!

I'm glad you liked the Nicholas's idea and you joined us. Hope you will
feel home here :)

We usually ask our members to view this and add their names:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/WhoWeAre

And we also encourage them to add their hardware:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware

Of course, it would be great if you have Social Media Accounts so you can
join us here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam#Social_Networks

And, I'd also recommend to bookmark this Wiki Page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam

I am the QA Lead or Ubuntu GNOME and the Social Media Administrator of
Ubuntu Quality Team. If you need anything, let us/me know :)

Thank you and we are looking forward to have fun with you!

Hi all,

I do support this idea/proposal and both teams whether we agreed to join
forces or not, you all have my full help and support :)

I have more than one role and do many tasks but what is related to this
subject/matter, I am the QA Lead of Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Quality Social
Media Administrator.

Looking forward to work together and share everything :)
