| cryptodan_laptop | hello | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ron__ | Ok, let's get started. There is a link to the Ubuntu Global BugJam Wiki that gives a good overview of the event | 00:01 |
| ron__ | You need to have a launchpad account to record your results. | 00:02 |
| cryptodan_laptop | So this is just a beta test of Ubuntu 15.10 | 00:02 |
| ron__ | The BugJam starts this Friday, Aug 7 and runs to Sun, Aug 10 | 00:03 |
| ron__ | Yes it is a beta test to help debug it | 00:03 |
| cryptodan_laptop | What kernel will be default on 15.10? | 00:04 |
| ron__ | I believe it will be 4.x | 00:04 |
| ron__ | 4.1 Kernel | 00:05 |
| cryptodan_laptop | There are going to be a lot of people unhappy with nvidia and kernel 4.1.x and 4.x or later 4.0 works fine with nvidia | 00:06 |
| ron__ | We suggest that you use Virtualbox to load the image. | 00:06 |
| cryptodan_laptop | I do have vmware workstation | 00:07 |
| ron__ | It may not be 4.1.x when it is released but this is one of the reasons they do the bugjam and testing | 00:08 |
| ron__ | vmware workstation is fine. | 00:08 |
| ron__ | The areas that we have focused on is installing and testing packages | 00:09 |
| cryptodan_laptop | So ill download it tonight and load it up Friday | 00:09 |
| ron__ | Wait until we get closer to Friday to get the latest daily build. | 00:10 |
| ron__ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams/Testing | 00:11 |
| ron__ | We are doing image testing which is the installation process and Application testing | 00:12 |
| ron__ | There are guides that you complete online as you proceed through the tests and record bugs/issues | 00:13 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Awesome glad I will possibly contributing to the open source community | 00:13 |
| ron__ | You are contributing to making Ubuntu software better. | 00:14 |
| ron__ | The software can be buggy at this point so everything may not run smoothly but that is the point of the exercise. | 00:15 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Usually I do not use or test beta software | 00:16 |
| ron__ | We are working remotely this time but we met as a group for the 15.04 bugjam and had alot of fun | 00:16 |
| ron__ | Think of helping to make it better. | 00:17 |
| ron__ | That's also the reason we don't install it on our hardware and use virtual devices for these tests | 00:18 |
| cryptodan_laptop | One thing that turned me off to ubuntu was the slow unity Ubuntu 9 to 12 were much better for my needs | 00:18 |
| ron__ | Unity has improved dramatically over the past 4 Ubuntu versions. Unity 8 may be a part of 15.10 | 00:20 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Would be worth giving it a shot again | 00:21 |
| ron__ | Here is an example of testing the download iso, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough | 00:21 |
| cryptodan_laptop | okay I have done something like that for the intelligence community | 00:23 |
| ron__ | Great, it should be similar experience. But remember the software can be buggy at this stage. | 00:24 |
| ron__ | Here is the example of the application testing, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough | 00:25 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Awesome | 00:26 |
| ron__ | I will be putting our BugJam on the Ubuntu Wiki on Tuesday and ask that you sign in indicating that you will be participating. | 00:27 |
| ron__ | with our team, Ubuntu-Maryland | 00:27 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Okay | 00:27 |
| ron__ | An email will also sent tomorrow with some of the information and links that we discussed tonight | 00:28 |
| cryptodan_laptop | I will keep an eye out for it | 00:29 |
| ron__ | Great, do you have any other questions | 00:29 |
| cryptodan_laptop | Nope | 00:30 |
| ron__ | Thanks for joining me, good night | 00:30 |
| cryptodan_laptop | You too | 00:34 |
