Re: [Lubuntu-qa] 13.04 Beta 1

2013-03-14 Thread Alex Janko
We were just looking at how to possibly fix the CD loader to not require 7bit

Like:

If Pentium M {
 Skip PAE Check
} Else If (PAE=1) {
 boot();
} Else {
 paeErrorBoot();
}

Sorry O only knew how to write that out in java :)

2013-03-12 Thread Alex Janko
Hmm...I also notice that there is an issue with Pentium M models...they
have PAE but yet don't advertise it...is there any way to allow the PAE
ISOs to boot on Pentium M computers?

I've been told it had to do with the boot check, not an actual failed boot

Hello

2013-03-04 Thread Alex Janko
Hello All,

As per instructions for the joining of the QA team, I am sending my
introductory email.

My name is Alex and I am joining from the US. I hope to test builds as
often as I can, but my schedule is limited, so I may only be able to
offer advice.

I plan to rely heavily on the Server based kernel on a p4
Hyperthreading box...yes, I know I have old hardware.

I also would like to get involved in the development / porting of
Ubuntu Phone once it is released to source.

To New Beginnings

Alex
