Beta in risk
Hello all! As you know, testing the ISOs in every milestone is a distribution responsibility. Right now, and for Beta, the Ubuntu Studio ISOs haven't been tested: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/ubuntustudio/all I am afraid that, if they remain untested, the Release Team might decide to NOT release Ubuntu Studio Maverick Beta. Please, coordinate with the Release Team at #ubuntu-release and help testing the ISOs before it is too late. Thanks!

Related story- The 8.04-10.04 LTS upgrade I ran last weekend rendered my soundcard silent, video non-accelerated (and black- screening), and a few apt-gets even rendered my system unbootable. Fortunately I had backups of most of my stuff, a live CD still allows access to the drive and a second drive should be arriving soon, so that I can run a fresh install and restore things as needed. I had read 8.04-10.04 was supposed to be a smooth upgrade. But I guess not everything can be tested. Apparently, I wasn't the only one with this problem either. Now I'm a long-time linux user; I've been running linux-only for about a decade now. As such I'll just chalk it up as another learning experience (Never, ever upgrade your system with the upgrade functionality!) but a week of downtime certainly is sub-optimal and I suppose would drive away most normal from Linux in an instant. Just a story to consider regarding the importance of testing. Anyway, I'd rather the distro be late than untested. That said, with the apparent unrest on the list as of late, should I stick with ubustu for my composing or just go for plain vanilla lucid?

Re: Beta in risk - a related story
did you did that upgrade in ubuntu studio? I tested some ISOs and found some problems on the networking in UbuntuStudio, but i didnt tested for upgrade. As far as i know, Ubuntu studio isnt considered a 10.04 isnt considered an LTS, altough its based on the ubuntu LTS. Also i will try to find some time to test the ISOs, but i am really short in time this days. 2010/9/2 Marc R.J.
