Re: vivid vervet daily build

 

Ian, Thank you for testing, but please submit test reports through the
testing tracker available at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/

Reports are most helpful if they are completed using that system. If you
are not familiar with what this tracker is, please read this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker

The tracker gives you specific instructions about what to test and presents
specific bugs you should look for as you conduct your test.

For a step-by-step walkthrough of the preferred method of conducting a
complete, proper ISO test, please read:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough

There is also a video walkthrough:

We request that you use the above method to make sure you are thoroughly
testing the ISO and delivering your feedback to the specific, itemized
questions asked there. This feedback is easier to put to good use than is
narrative feedback sent to this mailing list.

Please let me know if you have questions about using QATracker.
