| ubot5 | bug 1523260 in Ubuntu QA Website "Top 100 Ranking" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1523260 | 18:15 |
| flocculant | all that's going to happen is a long list of people who've tested once | 18:16 |
| teward | dsmythies: you discovered what I learned a while ago. Just use the one without the clipit command. | 18:34 |
| teward | (from your statements yesterday) | 18:35 |
| dsmythies | teward: Yes, but it is not obvious, and took me quite some time to figure out. So I am asking if it O.K. to go ahead and edit the wiki page to delete the clipit stuff, as it makes no sense to have it there. | 18:40 |
| dsmythies | teward: I think I'll go ahead and edit the page, since it is so simple to revert in the event of opposition anyhow. | 18:42 |
| dsmythies | flocculant: Why would the top 100 off all time be a big list of of people who have only tested once? I don't know, but doubt that it would get to the one time level at all. Currently number 20 is at 706. (feel free to ignore my comment, as I am not a regular here anyhow.) | 18:45 |
| flocculant | dsmythies: oh - never actually saw that top 20 thing | 18:47 |
| flocculant | thought it was about padding out the rest of it | 18:47 |
| flocculant | even so - can't see the point in having it :) | 18:47 |
| dsmythies | me neither, I was just saying is all. | 18:48 |
| flocculant | thanks - that'll be thing I learnt today :p | 18:48 |
| teward | dsmythies: you may want to add "In the event this command does not work, consider using this one instead: {same command minus clipit}" | 18:54 |
| teward | rather than outright removing it | 18:54 |
| teward | because there are those of us who QA test the point release ISOs :P | 18:54 |
| teward | me specifically since I spin up VMs based off the point release ISOs and a template | 18:54 |
| teward | :) | 18:54 |
| teward | dsmythies: but yes, it's not obvious, i actually beat my head against it for an hour when i was QA-testing the 15.10 ISOs | 18:55 |
| dsmythies | teward: So, you are saying the clipit stuff works for you? So, my issue is because I am using server edition with no GUI? Does it also mean I sent a bunch of stuff to that git site without even knowing that I did? (including several times while attempting to figure out what was going on). | 18:57 |
| teward | dsmythies: I used an Lubuntu 15.10 ISO last to test it, and clipit failed. Ubuntu 14.04 ISO worked with clipit | 18:59 |
| teward | though given my test env. is a VMware virtual machine... irrelevance has its usefulness | 18:59 |
| teward | dsmythies: usually i just ignore the clipit part, get the link myself | 19:00 |
| teward | and type it into my host machine's browser | 19:00 |
| teward | but consider that you're also going to face this issue on other cases: people generating specific environments for latest-dev-release testing so there's adaptivity needed in the commands | 19:00 |
| teward | hence why i suggested having both sets of commands present | 19:00 |
| dsmythies | teward: O.K. thanks for the explaination. Myself, I prefer a lowest common denominator approrach. i.e. an example command line that one knows will work in all situations. Regardless, I made an edit attempt. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware | 19:17 |
