[02:36] <charlie-tca> One more re-spin of the Beta1 candidates tonight. There is a fix to parted to make it work on Mac systems
[03:42] <charlie-tca> release notes added to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview
[03:42] <charlie-tca> Good night
[14:16] <charlie-tca> Unit193: someone needs to test the Lubuntu alternate images today
[14:22] <charlie-tca> images dated 0901 are working. These will be published for the Beta1 release
[14:23] <charlie-tca> Thanks go to everyone involved for making this milestone work!
[14:57] <charlie-tca> pleia2: release news - http://2tu.us/3h8b
[15:15] <charlie-tca> Beta1 freeze lifted now
[15:38] <micahg> is it warmer in here? :P
[15:52] <Unit193> charlie-tca: We/they had a tester called Lance, but I'll add that to Xubuntu ones
[15:53] <charlie-tca> jibel ran them, so they are done. Images are being published as soon as the hit the mirrors today
[15:54] <Unit193> jibel is someone on the release team?
[15:59] <pleia2> charlie-tca: ready to be posted?
[15:59] <charlie-tca> jibel is the main testing guy for QA
[16:00] <charlie-tca> pleia2: yes, it should be ready
[16:00] <charlie-tca> release is not official yet, though
[16:02] <charlie-tca> Probably two more hours to make it official, testing is done, waiting for mirrors, I think
[16:03] <charlie-tca> I cheated and put the release notes in the news thing this time
[16:08] <pleia2> ok, I've htmlized it, I'll post whenever we're ready
[16:08] <Unit193> Seems to be missing a few tests, or am I reading it wrong?
[16:09] <charlie-tca> yes, it is missing some
[16:09]  * Unit193 picks alt entire, easy as 1, 2, 3
[16:09] <charlie-tca> Since most of the tests on yesterdays images, today's testing is spotty
[16:10] <charlie-tca> There was a late fix to partitioning that applied to all images, to allow those who install to a mac would not corrupt the drives
[16:11] <Unit193> Well, I'm syncing both (or all 4 if you really want to know)
[16:14] <charlie-tca> That's good. I ran out of energy to keep testing them today
[16:17] <charlie-tca> It 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... :(
[16:18] <charlie-tca> I almost did not allow them to build the xubuntu images
[16:18] <charlie-tca> They agreed spot testing would be okay today
[16:20] <Unit193> I was going to do one or two yesterday, but computer that can handle it (mostly) crashed
[16:22] <charlie-tca> I did all of them yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that, too
[16:23] <charlie-tca> But, that too is just part of being the tester for Xubuntu :)
[16:23] <Unit193> Well, I try, but I can only run one at a time
[16:24] <charlie-tca> heh, yeah, I run two computers steady just to test those images
[16:24] <charlie-tca> My connection won't allow more than that now
[16:25] <charlie-tca> It was a lot easier when I could run 4 hardware machines, and 4 VBox machines at one time
[16:28] <charlie-tca> jarnos: does any operating system use different icons for mounted vs unmounted drives?
[16:32] <Unit193> Another issue, Vbox killed the computer on opening it again
[16:33] <charlie-tca> really?
[16:33] <Unit193> Second time, I'll try it again, but in a different way
[16:34] <Unit193> Third time. I could try it on this P4 though
[16:35] <charlie-tca> sounds like you made VBox angry?
[16:37] <Unit193> Yeah, this isn't good as it doesn't even OPEN
[16:38] <Unit193> Going to close everything out on this computer so it might be able to handle VBox
[16:43] <jarnos> charlie-tca, I don't know. Thunar does, but the difference is not big enough, IMO.
[16:46] <jarnos> charlie-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.
[16:47] <astraljava> Hey guys, sorry I've been busy with Studio stuff for the past few days. Anything urgent needs to be done this way?
[16:49] <charlie-tca> Nope, nothing urgent today
[16:49] <charlie-tca> just waiting for the milestone to release now
[16:50] <astraljava> Okay, sounds good.
[17:25] <charlie-tca> Going cut the "too long already" grass now
[18:53] <charlie-tca> Can anyone try the oem or free-software installs using the images dated today?
[19:18] <plantoschka> beta1 out yet?
[19:19] <charlie-tca> not yet
[19:19] <charlie-tca> couple of hours yet
[19:20] <micahg> wow, cutting it close...
[19:21] <charlie-tca> heh, lucky to get it in today
[19:22] <plantoschka> :)
[21:38] <charlie-tca> Beta1 released; pleia2
[21:38] <charlie-tca> pleia2: can you post the news article now?
[21:56] <pleia2> charlie-tca: working on now :)
[21:57] <pleia2> http://xubuntu.org/node/49
[21:57] <charlie-tca> Thank you!
[21:58] <charlie-tca> This one took a lot of effort on everyone's part to actually get out. 
[22:16] <charlie-tca> knome: Thanks for the new logo. It is on the beta1 cd's
[22:16] <knome> np
[22:50] <pleia2> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Beta-1-219855.shtml
[22:50] <pleia2> "and a very nice new Plymouth boot splash screen" :D
[22:51] <charlie-tca> w00t! 
[22:52] <charlie-tca> That's pretty neat
[22:54] <charlie-tca> I was tired when I wrote the release notes. They seem a bit wordy still, but maybe they will generate excitement, too.
[22:56] <raevol> woo saw the xubuntu beta 1 announcement on planet ubuntu :)
[22:56] <raevol> oh, old news i see -_-
[23:07] <charlie-tca> hm, I have to run my updates tonight for oneiric on this computer. I will be back after it decides to boot again :)
[23:08] <charlie-tca> raevol: it is good to know someone read it!
[23:08] <raevol> :D
[23:43] <Olbi> thx for changes, creating news on my portal :D
[23:46] <charlie-tca> ;)
