I installed Beta 1 in a flash drive, using USB creator. I am running on a low'end Dell Vostro A860 laptop.
I am not an experienced tester, so I just started building it up to do the things I usually do. I note the bug I reported on the digital clock, which needed root to save, is fixed. I also noted when I changed from Chicago to Mexico City, it cranked back the clock one hour, so they may have added Mexico DST schedule, which is different. NEAT!!!! I'll find out later if it kicks it ahead or not as it should, which I am guessing is tonight or next Sunday? Gwenview in 9.10 had a bad CROP function on some computers. That is fixed now. The developer wrote the fix some months ago, and has requested it be shipped to 9.10 users, but this has not happened, which has a negative effect on the acceptance of Gwenview, which otherwise is a nice program. The good news is, I was forced to learn GIMP, and am scanning old photos from the 19th Century which the old people let me scan. I made a text file of functions as I learn them. A bug in digikam in 9.10 meant sometimes I had to try to import photos from my Canon A470, 15 or 20 times until it stopped crashing instantly, then loads in the end, very frustrating. THAT IS FIXED. Thanks to the developers. I use that a lot and my wife hates it when it does that, and I scream insults at my computer. :) I watched a DVD of Nelson Mandela, worked perfectly. Youtube worked okay, except one day I booted and there was no sound. I hit MIXER, and discovered PCM had set itself to zero. Not sure if that is a bug or a glitch. Installed LyX. No time to typeset a book right now, but will in the future. Installed ImageMagick, mogrify worked okay. Nothing failed on anything I did. Sorry I didn't find more bugs, if it has many. Maybe with more practice. -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
