[00:00] <cryptodan_laptop> hello
[00:01] <ron__> Ok, let's get started. There is a link to the Ubuntu Global BugJam Wiki that gives a good overview of the event
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <cryptodan_laptop> What kernel will be default on 15.10?
[00:04] <ron__> I believe it will be 4.x
[00:05] <ron__> 4.1 Kernel
[00:06] <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.
[00:07] <cryptodan_laptop> I do have vmware workstation
[00:08] <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.
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <ron__> Wait until we get closer to Friday to get the latest daily build.
[00:11] <ron__> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams/Testing
[00:12] <ron__> We are doing image testing which is the installation process and Application testing
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <ron__> You are contributing to making Ubuntu software better.
[00:15] <ron__> The software can be buggy at this point so everything may not run smoothly but that is the point of the exercise.
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <ron__> Think of helping to make it better.
[00:18] <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
[00:20] <ron__> Unity has improved dramatically over the past 4 Ubuntu versions. Unity 8 may be a part of 15.10
[00:21] <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
[00:23] <cryptodan_laptop> okay I have done something like that for the intelligence community
[00:24] <ron__> Great, it should be similar experience. But remember the software can be buggy at this stage.
[00:25] <ron__> Here is the example of the application testing, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough
[00:26] <cryptodan_laptop> Awesome
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <ron__> An email will also sent tomorrow with some of the information and links that we discussed tonight
[00:29] <cryptodan_laptop> I will keep an eye out for it
[00:29] <ron__> Great, do you have any other questions
[00:30] <cryptodan_laptop> Nope
[00:30] <ron__> Thanks for joining me, good night
[00:34] <cryptodan_laptop> You too
