Hi Lars,

do you have time to do the amd64+mac?

If not, no worries.

Thanks,

Phill.

 A special thanks to all of our testers this week!

The status page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Cadence/Status) is
showing we still need some help on amd64+mac, along with some test for
wubi, and ARM. I'll be testing ARM tonight and tomorrow, those of you with
ARM hardware consider also pitching in a result this week if your able :-)
I know Tobias is still working on results for wubi as well, and I can help
with the cd boot helper tests. That just leaves us with the amd64+mac
builds to test. Does anyone have mac hardware who is willing to test an
install for this iso?

Thanks!

Nicholas

P.S. I've seen bugs and reports that ubiquity is buggy and unstable in
todays build. If you find that to be true in testing, don't panic! File any
bugs you find and try to complete the install. If it fails, still report
it. A failed to install is still a valid result!

What I've taken to calling 'cadence' testing, is the testing of the daily
builds of isos (specifically those focused on the desktop and ubuntu) over
the course of a non-milestone week, with the intent of insuring the
mandatory testcases for those isos pass. I know this has been a difficult
thing to understand, and sadly, right now the isotracker doesn't allow us
to do this testing in a nice and easy to see way. We plan to fix this by
allowing you to better browse history but for now we'll have to work-around
the limitation (BTW, if anyone knows drupal and wishes to help land this
quicker, I would be happy to help set you up. We can always use more
developers!).

I've put together a wiki page that I will update once a day this week
(about 1400 UTC, manually) with the targeted testcases and their status.
The page is located here.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Cadence/Status

I hope this proves helpful to everyone, and as you can see we already have
results for many of the testcases. We need folks who have access to ARM and
MAC to also contribute a result for a testcase to help round us out.

As you can see, I've placed a quick summary of our progress on each of the
isos and testcases at the top, followed by the raw results in a tabular
format of those who have tested. Please don't panic if that raw list is
missing some of your testing! I still see the results submitted from those
of you who have tested server, or alt images, or another flavor. For
brevity's sake on this page, it's filtered to only show the runs for the
isos above.

I hope this helps and thank you for sticking with the testing on this. ISO
testing is going to continue to be something for all of us to iterate upon
and improve to make better. We as a community want to provide solid,
dependable results and good feedback, while still being mindful of our
efforts and time spent. Thanks,

Nicholas
