One thing I'd add is that we've been approved to revert to the non-pae kernel:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/958866

Please do be patient waiting for the new images. Due to the weekend it took about 4 to 5 days for Xubuntu.

IMHO it'd be best to wait until Thursday the 22nd to start really testing the newest images, and I'd expect Beta 2 iso-testing to begin about the 26th.

Hi,
this was also mentioned in the Lubuntu meeting last week, can I ask as many as possible to help. For those new, please take a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing and feel free to join https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa you can ask any questions regarding testing on that mailing list.

Thanks,
Phill.

Greetings everyone. As mentioned in last week's meeting, the ubiquity


team is having an installer sprint starting today and ending on Weds. As

a qa community, we have the opportunity to help participate and confirm

bug fixes, as well as get possible critical bugs that are still

outstanding fixed. The idea is to test the daily iso's specifically for

the bugs the team has created fixes for. A summary of each day's changes

can be found on this page:

http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-installer-sprint. If your curious about

following along in "realtime", visit and idle in the #ubuntu-installer

channel on freenode.  For testing purposes, we will use the daily iso

builds on the iso tracker to test; using the bugs mentioned as focal

points for testing. We will coordinate our testing in the

#ubuntu-testing channel. If you find a bug has not been fixed that

should have been fixed as part of the changes, please report directly

against that bug. If you find a new issue, report it against ubiquity as

usual.



The current plan is as follows:



Monday, Mar 19th.

    Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer

    Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build

for tomorrow's iso

Tuesday, Mar 20th

    QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on

there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present

Lastly, since our coverage is not intended nor likely to be completely

comphrehensive, this is a good time to test more exotic / problematic or

undertested hardware. People who have physical access to such hardware

(such as powerpc's, or mac intels and other EFI booting hardware, wubi

and dual booting, etc) are especially encouraged to take part and make

sure there hardware has good support for precise. If you've never done

iso testing before, this is also a good time to try it out. The schedule

and pace will be much more relaxed with iso's only occurring once a day,

and the tests being targeted for specific issues.



Thanks everyone and happy testing!



Nicholas
