silverarrowwhat are the latest marvels in the world of ultrabooks?00:01
phillwsilverarrow: from my very poor memory, kubuntu have been playing with them00:03
silverarrowthey are nice though00:04
silverarrowlive CD is usually all fine with destop image?00:04
silverarrowlatest build is very coars pixeled still00:04
silverarrowmight be a bit difficul to fix00:04
phillwsilverarrow: you'd need to have to chat with the kubuntu team. They are the only team I know specialising in net books.00:05
phillwskaet: do you know if ubuntu net book remix is still progressing?00:06
skaetphillw - ??  not one on my manifest for keeping an eye on.  details?00:06
phillwskaet: I did see once upon a time that ubuntu were doing a net-book remix. If it is not on tracker, I guess it died?00:07
phillwsilverarrow: seems like kubuntu is your best bet.00:08
silverarrowinstaller still doesn't work in the lastest build00:08
silverarrowit's like everything works, the wizard window just doesn't show properly00:09
silverarrowdoes it make sense?00:09
phillwsilverarrow: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Netbook00:09
phillwsilverarrow: I only know of it via snippets of chats on QA etc. I know no more than the ability to find the link for you, sorry.00:10
silverarrowmy mom just bought a netbook with a screen like that00:11
silverarrowshe has better hardware than me these days00:11
silverarrowI still hold the samsung 9 series high00:12
silverarrowthanks though00:12
phillwsilverarrow: they ask on that page that you contact on #kubuntu00:13
silverarrowI might just do that00:14
silverarrowfor now, I have not even bought it yet00:14
phillwthe kubuntu people are really nice guys, as are all our flavours. It is only when I send people away from the family do I hear of 'bad tempered people'.00:14
silverarrowthe lightweight ones are getting really good these days00:15
silverarrowwell, I got a sort of yelling over at debian00:15
silverarrowthey hate the mentioning of ubuntu00:15
silverarrownot sure why00:15
phillwlubuntu were looking into one, but we do not have resources in terms of devs to do it.00:15
silverarrowIs ee00:15
silverarrowit doesn't matter much right now00:16
silverarrowin two months time it probably will00:16
phillwsilverarrow: have a look at how many archs we're running with :)00:16
silverarrowit is impressive00:17
phillwWhat we would like to do is not possible,00:17
silverarrowand laods of feedback on the forum too00:17
phillwour QA testers are available to any team. We are all one family and help each other out.00:18
silverarrowwhich is a very good thing00:18
phillwit really helps when we only have a couple of hours to go for a milestone release :D00:19
silverarrowfor the moment, I shall focus on ppc testing00:19
silverarrowi can imagine00:19
silverarrowi reall didn't like the ubiqity bug though00:20
silverarrowstops installing completely00:20
silverarrow...on to the alternate iso00:20
phillwsilverarrow: that will be appreciated. Whilst PPC is concentrated within lubuntu, the guys will jump in to help any of the teams that support ppc00:21
silverarrowhow do I make screen shots in windows?00:22
silverarrowthe print screen button does not work00:22
phillwI use Scrot which is Fn+PrcScr00:22
silverarrowoh thanks00:24
silverarrowscrot works in terminal lubuntu at least00:24
phillwsilverarrow: if in doubt, head over to #ubuntu-beginners Those folk are pretty good at anything. do not mistake beginners for being newbies.... They are the experienced people from IRC and the main forum area. It's a lot more peaceful than asking on #ubuntu :P00:26
silverarrowthanks00:27
skaetsmartboyhw,  chinese images that have been tested are now available from: http://localized-iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/233/builds  known issues so far are: http://goo.gl/8QNDe00:56
skaetThere is a more recent set at: http://china-images.ubuntu.com/quantal/daily-live/20120905.2/00:58
skaetbut they are likely to have same flaws as the one on the iso tracker.00:58
silverarrowi think I did it correctly01:14

smartboyhwjibel: Are you also responsible for the Ubuntu QA localized ISO tracker?11:10
davmor2bdmurray: when you get on webcam still seems to be fixed for me11:19
davmor2marking it so11:19
jibelsmartboyhw, I am not.11:48
smartboyhwOh allright11:48
jibelsmartboyhw, actually I am not responsible of any tracker, just helping with iso testing.11:49
smartboyhwWho then? I can't see testcases there, and the Testcase Admins team members can't add one...11:49
kanliotwhy do we have to report on the testing tracker website and not just launchpad?12:19
kanliotalso how bad is it, if i don't report against a specific package in launchpad?12:19
xnoxkanliot: (1) so we know if we need to fix that bug urgently, because it affects the CD; so that we know if the CDs are good and we can release them.12:24
kanliotok12:24
xnoxkanliot: (2) reporting without specifying package, wastes everyone's time. Somebody will have to read the bug report, triage decide which package to allocate, then the people who are responsible for that package need to triage the bug again and see if they can fix it.12:25
kanliotk12:25
kanliotgood answer12:25
kanliotx212:25
smartboyhw+1 xnox12:25
xnoxkanliot: if you don't do neither (1) or (2) then a critical bug can be lost for a very long time.....12:25
xnoxeven if the fix is very simple & quick12:26
smartboyhwkanliot: And if you don't do BOTH there will be serious trouble for us to fix the bug and make Ubuntu bette12:27
smartboyhwr12:27
kanliotthat iso website what's it called13:55
kanliotqa tracker or testing tracker13:55
kanliotor qa testing13:55
kanliotor smoo smoo13:55
kanliot;)13:55
smartboyhwQA Tracker13:55
kanliotcalled testing tracker on the the actual site13:55
smartboyhwISO QA Tracker and Packages QA Tracker that is13:56
kanliotwould you mark every important bug on the milestone release tracker?14:01
kanliotor just bugs that prevent install and use14:01
smartboyhwkanliot: Second one is better I think14:02
elfyI mark others kanliot - they need to be flagged somewhere14:05
kanliotelfy, i don't understand14:06
elfyI don't just put critical bugs there14:07
kanliotso you don't put critical bugs on the milestone release tracker?14:10
kanliotwhat do you do with the crit bugs?14:10
elfykanliot: sorry - not being specific enough - I don't JUST put critical bugs - I put others as well  :)14:11
kanliotty elfy14:11
smartboyhwkanliot: I think that if that the critical bugs affects installation or use, put the bug there. If it does not affect the installation, just a single package, no need14:11
bdmurraydavmor2: great, thanks for testing14:30
kanlioti just wrote a page for new users that want to contribute to milestone testing.  please reveiew it, it's a short page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Overview/NewTesters?action=recall&rev=1614:33
davmor2bdmurray: no worries14:33
smartboyhwGood job kanliot14:33
kanliot:)14:34
kanliotso right now we're testing beta 1, to make sure it's ok to release?15:33
kanliotand second question, what are the dailies for?  the devs?15:33
Riddellfor netboot can mini.iso be put on a USB drive?15:34
Riddellkanliot: yes, and anyone who wants them15:35
patdk-wkriddell, sure15:39
Riddellpatdk-wk: how? usb-creator doesn't enable the buttons when I try15:40
patdk-wkoh wait, you mean the netboot test?15:40
patdk-wkoh, I dunno about using usb-creator to do it15:40
patdk-wkprobably just no one made a profile for it to know how15:40
patdk-wkgive unetbootin a try?15:42
Riddellhmm mini.iso doesn't work in virtualbox for me, gets to Installer boot menu but freezes on pressing enter15:47
jibelRiddell, dd mini.iso to a usb stick and boot from it15:48
jibeldd if=mini.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M15:48
jibelbe careful to dd to the usb device15:48
jibelnot a partition and certainly not your disk drive :)15:49
Riddelloh amd64 image on a 32bit machine, not likely to be happy15:57
xnoxRiddell: it works if you tap it on the side lightly every 72 seconds16:12
Riddellor use a 64bit computer16:13
xnoxRiddell: really?! =))))16:18
* xnox giggles16:18
Riddellyeah yeah, it didn't have a friendly error message like I remember from the normal images last time I did that16:18
xnoxRiddell: is that netboot?16:19
xnoxRiddell: pics or it won't be fixed16:19
xnox=)16:19
Riddellxnox: yes16:23
wxlwhat is "run once" on the iso tracker?16:46
xnoxwxl: the test is executed at least onces to be acceptable, instead of requiring multiple reports against the test case16:47
wxlxnox: by that logic, shouldn't the lubuntu arm preinstall (as an example) be run once, too?16:49
wxl…since the test passed with no bugs?16:50
xnoxwxl: why? 'run once' is a compromise if the test case is (a) hard to do due to time & hardware availability / constraints (b) or covered by other cases, and that particular test cases does not depend on particular hardware.16:50
xnoxwxl: preinstall are very flaky. Are other arm preinstall marked as run once in other products?16:51
wxlxnox: i misunderstood you. you mean that the testcase will have already been marked as run once, not that some condition causes it to be marked as such.16:52
wxlrigt?16:52
xnoxwxl: it's a property of a test-case by itself, same as testcase ID & steps.16:53
xnoxwxl: there are no conditions that change that label.16:54
wxlxnox: ok, nevermind that then. for beta1 do we need anything beyond the mandatory tests?16:54
xnoxwxl: ask skaet. I don't know.16:55
* xnox is just a coder....16:55
xnoxwxl: an image needs to be marked as ready, otherwise it will not be released. Join #ubuntu-release and talk to skaet.16:55
silverarrowI got a tip on the forum on how to install17:02
silverarrowwxl?17:02
silverarrowshould I burn a new Beta CD now?17:03
wxlsilverarrow: i'd be curious to hear what it is.17:03
silverarrowsomething with unmode17:03
wxlyeah unless you have a cd-rw (which, again, i recommend)17:03
silverarrowwait17:03
silverarrowrw?17:03
wxlread/write -- you can reburn them17:04
kanliotinstalled the new beta17:06
kanliotbut it's turning off my monitor and displaying an error message17:06
kanliotno idea where to file the bug17:06
silverarrowI might look for those17:06
silverarrowthough I am afraid this late I shall have to do with a stack of what ever they have at a local store17:07
silverarrowthis is the suggestion when booting; add this in the terminal like boot stage "live video=ofonly"17:09
silverarrowkanliot, there are new betas all the time? or just updates?17:09
wxlkanliot: i betcha your bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/104162517:09
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1041625 in xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (Ubuntu) "X not starting after install [openchrome]" [High,Triaged]17:09
wxlalso i should add that beta1 testing is wrapping up17:10
kanliotis wrapped up17:10
wxlso now we're ging to move back to daily testing17:10
kanliotpre beta testing is done17:10
kanlioti bet it's whatever video drivers i'm using17:10
kanliotsilverarrow what was the question?17:11
kanliotand i'm bothered enough by the black screen to make it critical17:11
silverarrowI`thinking of the beta download, is it the same for a few days, or new all the time?17:11
kanliotbut i bet i'm the only one on this planet who thinks a black screen is critical17:11
silverarrowor am I thinking wrong ?17:11
wxlsounds like the bugs were too big with ppc that we're probably not going to see an "official" beta release17:12
kanliotsounds like a good question17:12
kanlioti'll ask it on the mailing list17:12
wxlso look for the dailies and keep testing there17:12
wxlkanliot: yes it's pretty huge— and should eb described in that aforementioned bug report17:12
wxlkanliot: i should mention there's a fix described there17:13
kanliotwxl, i'm already a little upset, but i assure you it's a differnt bug.17:13
wxloh, and word is there may be a beta2 ppc.17:13
silverarrowoh17:14
wxlkanliot: i can understand your feelings, but i would give it a shot. i have seen a lot of symptoms that seem to be pointing at that one issue. worst case scenario it does nothing.17:14
silverarrowI have been reading up and down on those pages, but they say nothing about the frequencies of updates or new stuff17:14
silverarrowand I think I have figured out what is wrong with my fujitxu pc, inverter is gone17:15
wxlsilverarrow: mostly, we're testing dailies. these get interrupted by alphas and betas. and the release of course. usually then they sort of turn off testing of the dailies.17:15
kanliotwxl did the fix include turning the monitor off and on?17:15
wxlkanliot: nope, updating openchrome. but that's a thought, too.17:15
silverarrowwxl, thanks, I  have to get the terminology right too17:16
silverarrowbeta, alpha, proto...17:16
wxlsilverarrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule17:16
silverarrowand I assume a freeze is new hot out of the oven and has been in the freezer for a while?17:17
wxlfreeze means no new features will bad added17:18
silverarrow...to cool down17:18
silverarrowI see17:18
silverarrowcloser to the final setup on the release then17:18
silverarrowof* perhaps17:18
wxlonce it's frozen, it gets tested basically, and then released17:19
wxlup until then daily testing is leading to the release17:19
silverarrowbut for the beta 2 rumor?17:19
silverarrowwhat do you recommend I go for?17:19
wxlthat will depend on daily testing in the meanwhile and whether or not we can squash critical bugs17:19
wxlbeta1 as you can see is being released today17:20
wxlit hasn't been fully released yet but it's coming17:20
silverarrowI will keep my eyes open17:20
wxlthen we await re-spins so that we get fresh dailies17:20
wxlbut it sounds like they're manually copying over the ppc builds to speed things up a bit17:20
wxlan email will go out to the lubuntu-qa list when that happens17:20
wxlyou MAY want to play with what you already have and see if that thing you figured out might help you get the ball rolling17:21
wxlthat way if that bug is still around, you'll be prepared for it17:21
wxland actually taht's a fairly easy fix17:22
silverarrowI know where to look for bugs though17:23
silverarrowwonder if gnash mozilla plugin has been tested17:23
silverarrowall the regular workarounds for ppc17:24
wxlconfirmed that openchrome has nothing to do with the problems in ppc17:24
wxlgetting Lars (another ppc tester) to check out what you were using17:24
silverarrowlars? where is he?17:27
silverarrowI am in norway17:27
wxldunno17:27
phillwgood, the faster the progress the sooner we can wait for them to go break something else :P17:27
wxlprobably in the dark alley behind your house17:27
silverarrowlol17:27
silverarrowyou never know17:27
phillwAllegedly, there should be no more major breakages. Beta 1 --> Beta 2 is bug fixing time.17:28
silverarrowwith a name like that, I would guess some kind of scandinavian connections17:28
wxlum17:28
wxl"connections," yes17:28
wxlin scandinavia, no17:28

silverarrowfinnland17:31
silverarrowhmm17:31
phillwoh, and whilst you're both here. Just to remind you that there is quite a queue of stuff for ppc once the archives are unfrozen ready for the next daily build.17:32
silverarrowa daily build is something I download and install?17:32
silverarrowor burn on cd and install?17:33
phillwsilverarrow: yeah, the dailies appear on the iso tracker.17:33

phillwlol, it's not a fully fledged bug, just something that happens which is thought could be better warned about.19:07
wxljust dont' get it wet19:13
silverarrowinstaller freezes on me19:17

silverarrowi have reboot live cd three times and it freezes19:17
silverarrowi filed a bug last night, could I just keep posting in thesame section?19:18
wxlno19:18
silverarrowok new bug19:20
wxlno19:20
wxlnot unless it's different19:20
silverarrowhow do you mean wxl?19:24
wxlif it's the same bug as you reported, no need to report it again19:24
wxland if it's not a different bug, no reason to report a new bug19:24
silverarrowI mean, live video=ofonly makes insaller windows appear19:24
silverarrowthen as I thought, just adding to the same bug19:25
wxlwell if you couldn't get installer windows before, then i would report there that video=ofonly fixes it19:26
wxland change the package to yaboot, really19:26
wxland then report a new bug for the ubiquity crash19:26
balloonsphillw, ping19:28
phillwballoons: pong19:29
balloonsdo you remember the checkbox testcases?19:29
balloonsfrom the manual application testing last cycle?19:29
phillwballoons: I recall looking at them, but did not much woork with them.19:30
balloonsahh.19:31
silverarrowI hope launchpad reports are read and checked now and then thoguh19:33
phillwsilverarrow: which bug number is it now under?19:33
wxlthey are, silverarrow, but pointing them out doesn't hurt.19:33

phillwbug 104661919:34
ubot5Launchpad bug 1046619 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity fail to launch in 12.10 powerpc" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104661919:34
silverarrowthe issue might be more easily identified if I keep posting in one area19:35
silverarrowit does feel like the same thing really19:35
silverarrowI just sorted out the additional live video=ofonly issue19:36
phillwas the latest x does not solve the issue, it does point to a different issue.19:37
silverarrowseparate issues, but I filed it as ubiquiti in the first place19:37
silverarrowphillw: you suggest filing a new bug+19:37
wxli personally think video=ofonly should be a default for ppc19:37
phillwsilverarrow: no, that bug looks to be correct19:38
wxlit should ALWAYS work19:38
wxlwhereas the alternative does not19:38
wxlthe con: less support of all of the features of hardware19:38
wxlbut we can have release notes or edit the wiki to help people19:38
silverarrowit works with the live video=ofonly, as long as it is pointed out, easily done when you are aware19:39
wxltho if it was default then people who don't knwo wouldn't get confused19:40
phillwwxl: silverarrow you guys can have a double check with Lars and then ask gilir to alter the seed file for it.19:40
silverarrowI actually read it upon first boot, but didn't think much more of it, when cd booted further by its' self19:41
wxlseed file?19:41
wxlexactly the problem, silverarrow19:41
wxli think there are those that wouldn't even read that19:41
phillwwxl: the list of files a nd instructions that make an iso19:41
silverarrowwhere is lars and gilir then?19:41
phillwsilverarrow: catch them both via the lubuntu-qa mailing list.19:42
wxlsilverarrow: go to bug 1046951 and confirm it, report that video=ofonly fixes it, change to yaboot package and we'll go from there19:42

silverarrowyou are talking above my head19:44
silverarrowchanging to yaboot package?19:44
silverarrowthat is the video off mode thing?19:44
wxlok let's start with step one19:44
wxl1. confirm that it affects you19:44
wxl2. leave a reply saying that video=ofonly fixes the problem19:45
silverarrowthanks for the patience19:45
wxlphillw: how do i change the affected package to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaboot?19:47
wxlfurthermore, does that make sense? maybe it is true that the problem lies in an Xorg.conf (or whatever) that is inappropriate for ppc?19:47
phillwI can yaboot to it.19:48
phillw*can add*19:48
silverarrowoh, I do get a desktop environment thoguh19:48
wxlphillw: but do you get what i mean? like maybe that's a "band aid" not a fix?19:48
silverarrowwxl, lars reports a more sever outcome of the same issue I suppose?19:49
phillwwxl: as video=ofonly sorts out the initial X problem and the updated X has no affect, I'm minded to leave it as yaboot. It can always be reverted back to X if warranted.19:51
silverarrowwxl, lars seems to use the alpha something, I am in beta19:51
silverarrowI see19:51
silverarrowX is what?19:51
phillwsilverarrow: the release on 4th Sept was still an alpha19:52
silverarrowunknows problem?19:52
wxlphillw: i like it. i'd also like to know how to change packages for future reference. when i did the search it only came up with yaboot-installer19:52
wxlX = the "desktop"19:52
wxlkind of19:52
wxlthe graphics overall19:52
silverarrowi see19:52

phillwif you click the arrow next to package you will get a search window up. Type in yaboot gave me 3 options.19:52
phillwthe new open chrome did not solve it.19:53
wxlyeah because openchrome isn't even valid for any apple product afaik19:53
wxlwrong hipsets19:53
wxlhahah hipsets19:53
wxlthose are from nyc19:54
wxli meant chipsets19:54
phillwI knew what you meant :P19:54
wxlamong other problems i see in lars' log:19:56
wxl[    72.053] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)19:56
wxlphillw: how can i get a total package list of a particular iso? like versions and everything. possible?19:58
phillwerm, they are there... Let me see if I can find the link.19:59
wxldoesn't seem that there's a current fglrx for ppc19:59
wxlso therein may lie the problem19:59
phillwwxl: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/lubuntu.quantal/20:04
phillwbut that area is well out of my knowledge. catch gilir for a better discussion on such things.20:04
silverarrowwxl, I posted my experience on the issue20:06
silverarroware you familiar with alternate CDs? do i get the black  terminal only?20:08
silverarrowit can be a nightmare to maneuvuer sometimes20:08
silverarrowsome times easier though20:08
wxlthx phillw i grok it20:13
wxlsilverarrow: it has been asked on your bug for a X.org.0.log20:13
silverarrowoh already?20:14
phillwsilverarrow: bugs that bork an install do tend to get moved up the queue of things to be sorted @)20:15
phillw:)20:15
wxlyep and i just left a comment20:15
wxlunfortunately there's no easy way to include the log by command line20:16
wxlespecially now that the package has changed to yaboot20:17
wxlsilverarrow: when you DON'T use video=ofonly can you still use the browseR?20:19
silverarrowlet me reboot20:19
wxlif not, i'd suggest filing the bug in a text browser like w3m or elinks or lynx20:19
wxlum20:19
wxlnot filing the bug20:19
wxlfiling the log20:19
silverarrowoh....no20:20

silverarrowpcmanfm is a terminal thing?20:31
wxlno20:31
wxlit's your file manager20:31
wxlyou could do this in terminal but my guess is you're not very terminal friendly XD20:31
silverarrowlol sorry20:31
silverarrowwell, terminal takes a lot of thinking and more time20:32
silverarrowoh yes, it acaully says pcmanfm in quantal20:32

silverarrowfor the log?20:33
wxlcan you get to your usb key?20:33

silverarrowbut there are some error messages20:33
silverarrowbut seem to work at least20:34
wxlok so if you follow my instructions, just drag from one window to the other20:34
silverarrowyes, fairly regular procedure20:34
wxlor (to prove how long it takes in terminal) you could do something like "cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/USB"20:35
* wxl notes that's sarcasm20:35
silverarrow...fixes keyboard...20:36
silverarrow   /media USB is not a directory20:38

wxloh don't take me literally20:38

wxlso you can hook it up to whatever computer is connected to the web20:40
silverarrowoh, yes, how to get to teh xorg log?20:40
wxlso that you can post it to the bug report20:40
wxlit's in /var/log20:40

silverarrowerror opening /media/lubuntu new volume20:50
silverarrowpermission denied20:50
wxlthen there's your problem for some reason20:50
wxlyou need to get that thing web connected and it will solve this whole silliness20:50
wxljust plug the ethernet in20:50
silverarrowok burn cd?20:52
silverarrowno, I cannot eject live cd20:52
wxlnope gets kind of locked in there20:53
wxlremember you're running the whole system off that cd20:53
wxlit can only keep so much of it in memory so it constantly has to re-read20:53
wxlremoving the cd would be analogous to removing your hard drive on an installed system20:54
phillwcan you do    ls /media20:54
silverarrowit is a nightmare to type that out20:55
phillwls /media20:55
silverarrowcdrom lubuntu20:56

silverarrowis this worth posting?21:04
wxlyes21:04
phillwsilverarrow: that's the file being awaited on :)21:04
wxlok i'm taking a break, afk21:06
phillwokies wxl I'm kicking about now.21:06
silverarrowi hope I pasted it where they wanted it21:11
silverarrowwhen will I get as far as installing ?21:12
phillwas soon as we get the bug squished21:22
phillwsilverarrow: if you are desperate to get an 12.10 in, you can grab the Alpha 3 Milestone via http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/226/builds21:23
phillwBut to help with sorting out the issue that prevented a beta 1, I do ask that you still keep close eye on the tracker and your bug report.21:24
silverarrowI will, and I am not desperate21:25
phillwsilverarrow: we hate to lose a milestone release. I assure you that work is being carried out to squish the bugs.21:25
silverarrowI see21:26
silverarrowI would make an effort to check out issues21:27
silverarrowand install beta when it is adviceable21:27
silverarrowor helpful21:27
silverarrowdaily is not found21:30
silverarrownot found on this server21:31
silverarrowmaybe down for update?21:31
silverarrowis it my fault that xubutu no longer have ppc version?21:32
silverarrowi  have talked way to much about lubuntu and ppc21:32
silverarrownot even testing xubuntu21:32
silverarrowhowever, I like the lubuntu setup21:33
phillwsilverarrow: the dailies are not yet fully re-installed. I made a request that the latest QA-Beta1 be manually covered over, as the others are a few days old.21:34
silverarrowoooh, inside info21:35
phillwsilverarrow: not really, we tried our darn best to get at least one of the ppc lubuntu out, we ran out of time... But, that is a part of testing.21:36
silverarrowI am earger to test gecko and mplayer, and that kind of stuff though lol21:36
phillwWe have until the end of the month to sort them both out before Beta 2 lands21:37
silverarrowso some intense work ahead21:37
phillwsilverarrow: it is a roller coaster ride, but extremely rewarding.21:38
silverarrowi will make an effort too, and spend time and energy on the testing21:38
silverarrowas soon as someone has fixed installer I will go ahead21:39
phillwsilverarrow: we are still, during the madness, updating the wiki area. Do keep popping on and keep upto date with what is added. Never fear pinging me or balloons if you have a query about information on the Wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Overview/21:41

phillwsmartboyhw: there is little point until the Beta 2?23:33
smartboyhwHAHAHA, well you are the only one:(23:34
phillwSame as Wubi is not worth really testing until betas.23:34
smartboyhwphillw: Wubi IS tested as I saw it now23:34
phillwsmartboyhw: it's only Beta 1.23:34
phillwsmartboyhw: I know, i have tested it in the past for them.23:34

smartboyhwOnly Beta 1.....Hmm23:35
phillwsmartboyhw: yes, from now on it gets serious23:36
smartboyhwOh is it starting? I thought it is ALWAYS serious:)23:36
phillwsmartboyhw: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/TheStages23:39
phillwIt has been copied over the main QA site, just that is my most frequently used link.23:40
smartboyhwOh alright23:40
smartboyhwSadly the Ubuntu Studio images are always marked ready too early for others to test...23:41
phillwsmartboyhw: the bug team were kind enough to overview and edit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Overview#Bugs23:41
phillwWe are still doing a lot of 'behind the scenes' work.23:42
smartboyhwI have to add the cadence section back:)23:42
smartboyhwAnyway, going now to school!23:42
