| Form0 | Hello | 09:31 |

| davmor2 | Form0: hello | 09:59 |
| Form0 | hi hi | 10:00 |
| Form0 | Been wanting to participate with ubuntu for some time and finally got some free time and figured I'll start with testing | 10:01 |
| Form0 | Now just need to get started somehow :P | 10:02 |
| davmor2 | Form0: grab the latest daily image install onto hardware or vm and test the apps. When you find bugs file them (using ubuntu-bug appname) and once you find out there is a fix try it. Sign up to the tracker at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ this will then be used just before releases in order to keep track of what iso's have been tested, does that help? | 10:07 |
| Form0 | sure thing | 10:07 |
| Form0 | But I suppose I'll have to download new image every day I wanna do something? | 10:08 |
| Form0 | Or can I just update? | 10:08 |
| virtuald | if you install you can just update | 10:08 |
| virtuald | or if you already have ubuntu installed you can update through update-manager | 10:09 |
| Form0 | Well, I'm running alpha3 now I believe | 10:09 |
| virtuald | ok | 10:10 |
| davmor2 | Form0: go into synaptic and install the ubuntu-qa-tools package this includes an app called dl-ubuntu-test-iso so if you only want to test ubuntu you can use the following command dl-ubuntu-test-iso --only ubuntu | 10:10 |
| Form0 | aha, lets see | 10:11 |
| davmor2 | this will download all the ubuntu iso's in 64bit and 32bit | 10:11 |
| Form0 | I'm actually running kubuntu atm, does that have separate channel? | 10:11 |
| davmor2 | Form0: no just specify --only kubuntu | 10:11 |
| Form0 | ok | 10:12 |
| davmor2 | Form0: if you don't add a --only command you get most of the iso's available | 10:12 |
| davmor2 | Form0: also it uses rsync so it will only download the differences between the daily iso's | 10:13 |
| Form0 | good, I was wondering how bandwidth heavy this is :) | 10:13 |
| davmor2 | Form0: first run is second is light | 10:14 |
| virtuald | grub2 can boot iso files so no need to burn it | 10:15 |
| Form0 | handy! | 10:15 |
| davmor2 | because the first run needs to download entire iso's it's quite heavy, however once you have them it only downloads the daily diffs then | 10:15 |
| Form0 | so, is there a bug database of somekind? | 10:16 |
| virtuald | yes, https://bugs.launchpad.net and booting isos in grub2 is described here http://mgerards.net/blog/?p=16 | 10:17 |
| Form0 | thanks a bunch | 10:17 |
| virtuald | i've never done it, looks like you have to find out the name of the kernel and initramfs image, mount -o loop kubuntu-something.iso /mnt and then look for vmlinuz and initrd in /mnt and /mnt/boot | 10:23 |
| Form0 | yup, looks like have to experiment some | 10:24 |
| davmor2 | Form0: fyi vm is the easiest way to test :) | 10:27 |
| Form0 | hehe, ok of course | 10:28 |
| Form0 | Omg, there's so many ISOs | 10:49 |
| davmor2 | Form0: that's why I said if you only want to test kubuntu ues the --only kubuntu command :) | 10:51 |
| Form0 | Good thing I don't have limit on data transfers | 10:52 |
