charlie-tcaOne more re-spin of the Beta1 candidates tonight. There is a fix to parted to make it work on Mac systems02:36
charlie-tcarelease notes added to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview03:42
charlie-tcaGood night03:42
charlie-tcaUnit193: someone needs to test the Lubuntu alternate images today14:16
charlie-tcaimages dated 0901 are working. These will be published for the Beta1 release14:22
charlie-tcaThanks go to everyone involved for making this milestone work!14:23
charlie-tcapleia2: release news - http://2tu.us/3h8b14:57
charlie-tcaBeta1 freeze lifted now15:15
micahgis it warmer in here? :P15:38
Unit193charlie-tca: We/they had a tester called Lance, but I'll add that to Xubuntu ones15:52
charlie-tcajibel ran them, so they are done. Images are being published as soon as the hit the mirrors today15:53
Unit193jibel is someone on the release team?15:54
pleia2charlie-tca: ready to be posted?15:59
charlie-tcajibel is the main testing guy for QA15:59
charlie-tcapleia2: yes, it should be ready16:00
charlie-tcarelease is not official yet, though16:00
charlie-tcaProbably two more hours to make it official, testing is done, waiting for mirrors, I think16:02
charlie-tcaI cheated and put the release notes in the news thing this time16:03
pleia2ok, I've htmlized it, I'll post whenever we're ready16:08
Unit193Seems to be missing a few tests, or am I reading it wrong?16:08
charlie-tcayes, it is missing some16:09
* Unit193 picks alt entire, easy as 1, 2, 316:09
charlie-tcaSince most of the tests on yesterdays images, today's testing is spotty16:09
charlie-tcaThere was a late fix to partitioning that applied to all images, to allow those who install to a mac would not corrupt the drives16:10
Unit193Well, I'm syncing both (or all 4 if you really want to know)16:11
charlie-tcaThat's good. I ran out of energy to keep testing them today16:14
charlie-tcaIt was a bit frustrating, when, at 8:00 PM local time, I found every image would be re-built again, and please try to have them tested as soon as they get done... :(16:17
charlie-tcaI almost did not allow them to build the xubuntu images16:18
charlie-tcaThey agreed spot testing would be okay today16:18
Unit193I was going to do one or two yesterday, but computer that can handle it (mostly) crashed16:20
charlie-tcaI did all of them yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that, too16:22
charlie-tcaBut, that too is just part of being the tester for Xubuntu :)16:23
Unit193Well, I try, but I can only run one at a time16:23
charlie-tcaheh, yeah, I run two computers steady just to test those images16:24
charlie-tcaMy connection won't allow more than that now16:24
charlie-tcaIt was a lot easier when I could run 4 hardware machines, and 4 VBox machines at one time16:25
charlie-tcajarnos: does any operating system use different icons for mounted vs unmounted drives?16:28
Unit193Another issue, Vbox killed the computer on opening it again16:32
charlie-tcareally?16:33
Unit193Second time, I'll try it again, but in a different way16:33
Unit193Third time. I could try it on this P4 though16:34
charlie-tcasounds like you made VBox angry?16:35
Unit193Yeah, this isn't good as it doesn't even OPEN16:37
Unit193Going to close everything out on this computer so it might be able to handle VBox16:38
jarnoscharlie-tca, I don't know. Thunar does, but the difference is not big enough, IMO.16:43
jarnoscharlie-tca, I want to know by glance, if my removable drive is mounted or not. Actually a drive is not (software) mounted, but partitions in the drive may be.16:46
astraljavaHey guys, sorry I've been busy with Studio stuff for the past few days. Anything urgent needs to be done this way?16:47
charlie-tcaNope, nothing urgent today16:49
charlie-tcajust waiting for the milestone to release now16:49
astraljavaOkay, sounds good.16:50
charlie-tcaGoing cut the "too long already" grass now17:25
charlie-tcaCan anyone try the oem or free-software installs using the images dated today?18:53
