I'm sorry, but if we're talking about the same bug it popped up in mid-November, now we're nearly at the end of February.  That's like 3 1/2 months of not being able to properly install and test the images so it's not inconsequential that testers would feel their testing has no impact.                                   

Don't be surprised when testers drop out after seeing weeks, months or even years of critical (and fixable) bugs going unattended.

    Lance, it looks like xnox has assigned
      himself this bug and is working on it. I've not run across it, but
      looking at the comments it seems like a certain partition setup is
      needed. That said, your obviously keeping your eye on it, which is
      a good thing. If your testing during the cadence week and slamming
      into this bug, just file the result with the bug report and use
      the workarounds to keep going. There might other issues plaguing
      the installer. 

      

      I know it can feel frustrating to see bugs sit, but keep at it.
      Make sure the devs can reproduce, and ask for status updates or
      offer to help as needed. Recently, jackson and phil have
      successfully been able to work with the testdrive and dev folks to
      get fixes in for testdrive and virtualbox. It took them a bit and
      they definitely kept at it, asking different people to help along
      the way. It's just a recent example of being helpful and showing
      concern for the bug in question. Keep plugging away. Making a
      thread dedicated to the bug on the mailing list is another way to
      raise visibility amongst everyone and help you (and all of us) to
      drive the bug.

      there are things getting fixed, but not many. there
        doesn't seem to be enough testing though, even just to get some
        bugs confirmed. some bugs in the iso tracker have been "new" for
        a few months.

                  Do you have a
                    bug report # for that ubiquity bug?

                    

                    I'm aware of this bug:

                    

                    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701

                    

                    It's been bugging many of us since mid-November but
                    we obviously no longer care about the ability to
                    install and/or test the images until Beta falls :^(

                    

                    I hate to be the turd in the punch-bowl, but why
                    bother testing if nothing ever gets fixed?

                    PS: this is an indication that "cadence" should be
                    renamed, maybe to "we'll look at it later"!

                      Hi good people,
                        

                        
                        as we run through cadence testing, there
                          does seem to be a lack of testing. Can I ask
                          that people do test out the DeskTop versions
                          for lubuntu and xubuntu as we seem to have a
                          gremlin in ubiquity that may only affect our
                          Virtual Machines. Also when you take the time
                          out to try the 'alternate' ISOs for lubuntu,
                          would you also please check out the basic
                          ubuntu-server ISO, as it is required for us to
                          maintain support for the lubuntu-alternate ISO
                          series. 
                        

                        
                        Regards,
                        

                        
                        Phill.
