We will need to do the work to include the results missing from the backup. It's unclear how much data will need to be restored in this way at this time.

Re: What is Autopilot, and how does it work?
Nice introduction! Thanks for taking the time to do this! The fact that you're drawing while talking makes it a little bit hard to focus on what you're saying, but it's good to grab the basics of autopilot! A question regarding security: autopilot can retrieve any field from any application, and do stuff with it, right? In that case, couldn't someone write a test that grabs all the passwords from the Ubuntu online account window, and send them by e-mail to someone else? Cheers!

Ubuntu servers: different servers have different packages, leading to some issues
Hi there, First of all, if this topic is not quality-related, please let me know who I should contact for this. I had a lot of small issues today while installing Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. For instance, I could not install the proprietary nvidia drivers [1] (there was some unmet dependencies issues), nor Skype (from the partner repository, same here, unmet dependencies with skype-bin package) In the end, it looks like they were all linked to the server used to retrieve the package list/updates. After I changed it from Taiwan (it was set automatically during the install, I guess this option is parsed from the location you set during the installation?) to Main Server, and did the necesary sudo apt-get update, it was much better. After switching from the Taiwanese server to the Main one, and doing a sudo apt-get upgrade, I got the following list of packages to update (from a fresh install): The following packages will be upgraded: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra liboil0.3 liboxideqt-qmlplugin liboxideqtcore0 libva1 oxideqt-codecs qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras-browser-plugin qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras-browser-plugin-assets webapp-container webbrowser-app 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Do you think it's normal that different servers provide different packages? It was very misleading for me... A few questions: - is there a document listing the different servers? - who is responsible for synchronizing the different servers so they all contain the same packages? - could this be considered a bug? If so, under what component should I file it? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Re: Ubuntu servers: different servers have different packages, leading to some issues
Thanks all for the information! I'm not sure what server is selected by default (in System Settings it was just üsing Server for Taiwan without specifying which one). What is the tool used to select the appropriate mirror during installation? Do you think it could somehow select a mirror server which has the Up to date status instead of a random one in the neighbourhood?

A little introduction
Hi everyone! A user of Ubuntu since its very first release, back in 2004, I would like to help making it better. My profesional experience includes QA, so I know how important it is, and I may be able to help well here! I already joined the Ubuntu Quality team on launchpad. I don't have much experience testing Linux packages, but I'm willing to help. I think I'm technical enough to participate to the automated testcases (plus I would love to do more Python! ;)). I'll have a look at the todo list [1], and read more about autopilot in the related Ubuntu QA web page [2]. Cheers!

Re: A little introduction
Thanks Jackson! I will try to participate to this hackfest (probably only the beginning, as I live in Taiwan). Cheers!
