Hi all,

This is my testing report.
Tested on Oracle VirtualBox with 1 CPU core and 256MB RAM.

_*LIVE SESSION*_

1. ToriOS Live Menu has brown/dark orange highlight which makes vision
   very hard and words less readable. Can we change that, please?
   whatever color we shall use, let's just make sure words are readable.
2. 46MB - 53MB[1][2] of RAM while on idle live desktop - impressive! I
   didn't imagine we could achieve that, well done :D
3. Links 2, when opened, shows the old website (torios.org) and IMHO,
   this must be changed.
4. When I take a screenshot for example, save that on the Desktop to
   check whether everything is okay or not ... I notice that there will
   be no icon on the desktop whatsoever unless I go to the file manager
   and then open Desktop folder. Why is that? it is reminding me of
   Ubuntu GNOME default behavior - no icons - unless you enable that
   from GNOME Tweak.
5. Can't we change the default theme? it is not consistent with the
   icons theme at all.
6. Next to the red and white ToriOS icon that represents the main menu,
   I'd suggest to change the name from "Apps" to either "Menu" or even
   better "ToriOS". IMHO, it is good idea to be proud of our name and
   use it :)
7. Menu > Settings > Desktop Settings - after clicking on it, nothing
   happens.
8. Menu > Settings > Panel Settings - crashed and did odd things but
   the Live session didn't crash. I also tried to change the label of
   the menu from Apps to something else, it didn't work and then the
   menu jumped from the far left to the fat right. I killed it from
   htop but when I was trying to open it yet again, nothing happens.
9. Menu > Settings  > Themes Settings - I changed to GNOME 2 dark and
   as you can see:
   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw-s_t-wO9m6ZVF1V2xGc0E1YlE/view?usp=sharing
   - the menu has been divided to 2.
10. Menu > Settings > Themes Settings - I chose the 3rd theme and the
   whole desktop has been crashed and nothing (except networking icon)
   was there even the panels -
   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw-s_t-wO9m6WUZkZVpqemRPSWs/view?usp=sharing
11. Had to report as I couldn't do anything except that.
12. This is not the first time, by the way. With every build I test,
   whenever I test Themes Settings, it does almost the same behavior.
13. Why contents of Menu > Settings are the same on Menu > System? this
   is making it very long :(
14. Menu > System > htop - does nothing at all.
15. Why there are 3 documents for OBI? description, readme and quick start?
16. Menu > System > Add User - does nothing.
17. Menu > System > zMKtbl - does nothing.
18. Why not split the documents from the system menu? these should be on
   its own category called: Help + add a sub-entry to Help which is our
   new website so a user can also check the website.
19. Right click on the desktop and choosing 'change desktop wallpaper'
   does nothing at all.
20. Clicking on the time and date shows a nice calendar but there is no
   way to change/access time!
21. I played again with Themes. This time, I didn't crash the desktop
   but the buttons on the bottom have disappeared :(
22. I noticed that without Internet connection, I can not install
   ToriOS. Is that normal? if this is normal and it should be like
   that, have we documented it? it should be mentioned on OBI or
   somewhere else as an extra reminder.
23. Installation is done in 3 mins only - WOW!
24. After installation is done, the system/OBI does not reboot. I should
   do that manually. Can we change that behavior? is this normal? or a bug?
25. OBI interface has very small font even on High Resolution. Is there
   any way to make that bigger/lager? I'm having hard time reading the
   words :( in fact, I can't read unless I get my face next to the
   monitor :/
26. After rebooting manually, the virtual machine will ask you to press
   Enter to remove the installation media .. with Ubuntu GNOME for
   example, that never worked. With ToriOS, it does work so I'm happy
   for that.
27. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw-s_t-wO9m6R2FKUVB5ZmhZUnM/view?usp=sharing
   - why there are no icons? :(

I am not sure if I should test more and send more but that's all for 
now. I think I could find more stuff but let's stop at this point.

This is Part 1 which is dedicated for the LIVE SESSION!


Thank you and sorry for the long email but we are trying to make ToriOS 
the best and I find it .. well, not really ready for the final release 
(AKA 1.0). I have a feeling that these are minor bugs.
