| pressman57 | Hi all. I'm interested in iso testing but can't find the page for the daily build. Can someone give me a link? | 16:15 |
|---|---|---|
| pnarciso | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily/current/ | 16:18 |
| pnarciso | that is the link for alternate | 16:19 |
| pnarciso | this is for normal http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ | 16:19 |
| pressman57 | thanks. Is running it in vbox useful or is a hdd install better? | 16:20 |
| pnarciso | it all depends | 16:20 |
| pnarciso | if you want to test the only this OS, vbox would do, but ig you want to test hardware compatibility, installing it is better | 16:20 |
| pressman57 | pnarciso, my hardware is pretty generic so I think I'll put it in vbox. Will apt-get update/upgrade keep me up with the current build once it's installed? | 16:25 |
| pnarciso | yes, or you could use the included update application | 16:26 |
| pressman57 | cool. I used xubuntu years ago- went to gentoo then arch- now i'm back. good distro. | 16:27 |
| pnarciso | I agree, very good distro, and stable. Unity in Ubuntu is a big mess | 16:28 |
| pressman57 | yeah unity is a fiasco | 16:31 |
| pressman57 | gnome 3 with extensions kind of works but it's bloated | 16:32 |
| pnarciso | gnome 3 layout does not look very different to me compared to unity, but it's more stable | 16:33 |
| pnarciso | I like PC layouts, not phone layouts :) | 16:33 |
| pressman57 | pnarciso, true that | 16:34 |
| pressman57 | you talk about a mess....have you tried windows 8? | 16:35 |
| pnarciso | yes :) | 16:35 |
| pressman57 | It will be just the thing to get linux on the desktop | 16:36 |
| pressman57 | in the mainstream | 16:36 |
| pressman57 | imho | 16:36 |
| ochosi | since it's weekend there are probably not so many of the other devs around, but testing is always highly appreciated | 16:39 |
| pnarciso | Linux is still much complicated to the average user | 16:39 |
| ochosi | unfortunately i don't do it enough myself to give you good guidance with how and where to report what | 16:40 |
| ochosi | except obvious bugs, you can report them on launchpad | 16:40 |
| pnarciso | xubuntu 12.10 for the most part has been stable, bu I had a couple of hard freezes, which I think could be related to nvidia drivers, but I can't tell for sure because nothing shows on the logs. | 16:41 |
| pnarciso | Yesterday my desktop froze and restart itself | 16:42 |
| pressman57 | download is finished...gonna fire it up. Thanks for the info | 16:42 |
| pnarciso | so, how is going the bug crushing? | 16:46 |
| ochosi | fine, i think atm everyone is exhausting because we worked hard towards UI freeze | 17:10 |
| pnarciso | so, UI will become like it is now in daily build? | 17:38 |
| pnarciso | or there are changes that weren't introduced yet through update? | 17:38 |
