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