Quality Related UOS Sessions
First of all, in case you didn't know UOS is coming up! http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/ What's UOS? Ubuntu Online Summit is the continuation of UDS in a virtual and online format. It allows anyone to participate and discuss topics that surround ubuntu in a wider setting. Use it to engage others and help make ideas reality. Have something to share? A presentation or idea? Perhaps a new project you want to demo? Or maybe you just want to schedule some facetime with the wider commmunity with a current ubuntu group, like a flavor team, loco, or something else. You can use UOS to recruit and share what your team does. These are just a few ideas, please feel free to propose any session you like. For more information check out: http://uds.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/ Now, with that said I have proposed a couple sessions already specific to quality. The first is a renewed discussion on manual testing. I won't spill all the ideas, thoughts and work that is going on just yet; you'll have to attend the session! Needless to say, it's time we looked again at how we do manual testing and consider how the phone might also be able to be tested more visibly by us as a community. http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22340/improving-manual-testing/ The second is a session for app developers around testing scopes on the phone. We want to solidfy the testing story about how we recommend scopes be tested on the device. If you have input on this, please attend this as well! http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22339/testing-scopes/ Beyond that I'm open to hear suggestions as to what sessions you would like to see.

Re: Quality Related UOS Sessions
I've already added another session. I know many of you are excitied about the phone, but what about the desktop? I'd like to encourage us to work more closely with the unity 8 desktop developers this cycle and get some nice testing and feedback delievered to them, along with helping them develop some automated testing solutions for images, etc. So, to that end, here's another session: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22361/testing-unity-8-desktop/ What else are you interested in / excitied about? Let's talk and plan now! Nicholas -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
Crash reporting from Live CDs
Crash reporting from Live CDs has not worked for sometime due to squashfs not supporting inotify, which upstart and update-notifier use to notify you of crash reports. The .crash file is created and does exist in /var/crash, its just that nothing tells you about it. I've just uploaded a new version of casper to Vivid that works around this problem and you should start getting notifications of crash reports from the Live CD / DVDs. Having said that the crash reports won't yet go to Launchpad, but will go to the Ubuntu Error Tracker. You can find the OOPS ID for your crash report in /var/log/upstart/whoopsie.log. It'll look something like this: [17:19:10] Parsing /var/crash/nvidia-331-uvm.0.crash. [17:19:10] Uploading /var/crash/nvidia-331-uvm.0.crash. [17:19:11] Sent; server replied with: No error [17:19:11] Response code: 200 [17:19:11] Reported OOPS ID b447cbe4-615c-11e4-83ed-fa163e78b027 The OOPS ID we see corresponds to the nvidia-331-uvm crash report. It might be worth considering including information about OOPS IDs in the iso testing results. And of course if you notice anything weird about the crash reporting process, please let me know. -- Brian Murray signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
