[04:46] no i am there [04:46] hey please help [04:46] ok, next piece of advice: [04:47] don't demand help. don't beg for help. just ask your question and wait patiently. a question with a complete explanation of what your specific problem is. [04:47] in that i have my launchpad profile and i have downloaded the ubuntu amd64 version just now [04:47] and after that i dont know what to do [04:48] click the link that says "walkthrough" to understand how the tracker works [04:48] i have done everything but i didnt understand [04:48] at what point did it not make sense? [04:48] should i abandoam the task [04:49] that's a question only you can answer. [04:49] i have no reason to believe you're incapable of accomplishing the task, so i see no reason to tell you that you should abandon it. [04:49] in complete submission 2nd and 3rd point not understand and i have amd64 ver [04:49] did you read the walkthrough? [04:49] yes [04:50] and did you understand it? [04:50] xwl i was doing thisk task from 12 hours [04:50] *this [04:50] and you are saying you are not taking ionterest [04:50] its bad [04:50] you spent 12 hours reading? [04:51] no not one reading downloading and creating launchpad profile [04:51] i said nothing about my interest. i'm trying to help you here, but you have to help me to help you. [04:51] what did you download? [04:51] ubuntu amd64 version [04:51] RAI: everyone here is helping you out of free will, please be grateful [04:51] sorry for troubling you [04:52] but i thought you were doing the Ubuntu MATE task? [04:52] Ubuntu ≠ Ubuntu MATE [04:52] but in that it was written either amd64 or i386 ver [04:52] so what? [04:53] the task is titled Ubuntu MATE [04:53] so clearly you have to use Ubuntu MATE [04:53] nothing else but Ubuntu MATE is going to work [04:53] Your task is to complete a testsuite for a daily Bionic Beaver image of Ubuntu MATE. Either i386 or amd64 is fine [04:53] this was written [04:53] yes, that's correct [04:53] Either i386 or amd64 is fine [04:53] yes, that's correct [04:54] so i have downloaded amd64 [04:54] but you said you downloaded Ubuntu [04:54] you did not say you downloaded Ubuntu MATE [04:54] they are not the same [04:54] hey just see on my profile i have sended a screenshot please see [04:54] what profile are you referring to? [04:54] i think you are the mentor [04:55] I'm one of them [04:55] but you are not the only student in GCI :) [04:55] a link would be helpful [04:55] https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4878904504352768/ [04:55] that's Ubuntu, not Ubuntu MATE [04:56] have you seen the screenshot [04:56] yes [04:56] that's why i said: [04:56] that's Ubuntu, not Ubuntu MATE [04:56] then i have to download again such a large file [04:57] that is one of the requirements, yes. [04:57] if i do testsiute on amd64 its fine [04:57] please [04:57] and then you need to go through every testcase on the ISO tracker [04:57] ok [04:57] MATE has 6 testcases [04:57] one of them is a live testcase [04:58] the other 5 are installation testcases [04:58] which means you will boot the image 6 times and install it 5 times [04:58] please tell me what to do first [04:58] you download the image [04:58] then you open a testcase [04:58] i have [04:59] then you perform the steps in the testcase [04:59] then you report the result [04:59] then you move on to the next testcase until you're done [04:59] thats what i didnt understand [04:59] which part? [04:59] then you perform the steps in the testcase [05:00] here's an example test case: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164081/testcases/1301/results [05:00] it has 19 steps [05:00] you follow them in order [05:00] should i reinstall my ubundu amd64 ver [05:00] if you read the walkthrough, this should all be very clear [05:00] now [05:00] no [05:00] you have the wrong image [05:00] you have to download again [05:01] you have said you can do [05:01] which we already established [05:01] 2056 < RAI:#ubuntu-google> then i have to download again such a large file [05:01] 2057 <+wxl:#ubuntu-google> that is one of the requirements, yes. [05:01] can i do in amd64 versio please [05:02] didn't you say the task said either i386 or amd64 is fine? [05:02] yes [05:02] so you can answer your own question, right? [05:02] i am saying that can i do in ubuntu amd64 version please [05:03] if a recipe calls for sugar, would chili powder work instead? [05:03] no you are right [05:03] can it work on another task [05:03] there are many [05:03] there is an ubuntu task [05:03] BUT [05:04] what [05:04] the version you report on and the version you use need to be the same [05:04] and new images are built every day [05:04] so can you send the link [05:04] you can find it by going through the tracker [05:04] which you should have read if you had read the walkthrough [05:05] open up the testsuite and click on the appropriate link [05:05] now i'm going to tell you a secret [05:05] what [05:06] how to download the whole file without downloading it all [05:06] oh oh [05:06] please tell [05:06] here's the list of test suites for the current image (may not be the same as you have, i don't know-- you need to check!) http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164116/testcases [05:06] i want to download ubuntu mate image [05:06] ah good [05:06] because ubuntu has a ton of testcases and you'd probably never get finished in time XD [05:07] testsuite http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164081/testcases [05:07] if you click on the download link [05:07] you'll notice a zsync link [05:07] you can read more about zsync here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage [05:07] yes noticed [05:07] but look at the tail end of the link [05:08] bionic-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync [05:08] yes [05:08] take your downloaded image and rename it to bionic-desktop-amd64.iso [05:08] then, while in the same folder containing that file, run the zsync [05:08] it will download only the differences between the two [05:08] since ubuntu and ubuntu mate are both built with a similar core, it will save you some time [05:09] hey i have copied the link now what to do [05:09] zync [05:09] read everything i said above and follow it [05:10] have you done this [05:10] done what? [05:11] zynsc [05:11] do you think i would suggest it if i didn't know what i was doing? [05:11] please tell me after copying the link what to do [05:12] scroll up and look. what did i say? [05:12] but plesase [05:12] here it is saying to install zync [05:12] i've given you the information. if i tell you and you ignore the information, that makes me feel like i'm wasting my time. [05:13] no no [05:13] i am not like that [05:13] i am student and i study in class9 [05:13] then read what i said and follow the instructions. if something doesn't make sense, ask a question about that specific something. [05:13] *specific* [05:14] ok [05:14] in ununtu we have to download the zync [05:14] you need the zsync software in order to use the zsync link [05:15] which software [05:15] you need the ***zsync*** software in order to use the zsync link [05:15] so how to install [05:15] you can read more about zsync here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage [05:15] i have read [05:16] here's the upstream link http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ [05:16] i am asking that it will in ubuntu terminal [05:16] zsync is not a GUI [05:17] beacuse it saying in terminal [05:17] it's all done on the command line which is why in the documentation the commands appear to be in a "code" format [05:17] command promt [05:17] all ways of saying something different, yes [05:18] now i have opened command promt [05:19] in that sudo is not the command it is saying [05:19] i don't understand your question [05:20] in command promt we have to download [05:20] please tell i want to do thish task in any case [05:20] you install the software [05:21] then you rename your file to match the name of the file you are going to download [05:21] then you enter the zsync command [05:21] that's all there is to it [05:21] how to intstall the software tell only that [05:22] you said you read what i sent [05:22] i have read [05:22] in that it is saying do in terminal [05:22] it's the 6th sentence [05:23] hey can you send the screen shot please there is no point [05:24] there are 4 content which one i choose [05:24] https://share.riseup.net/#cRZb6iagVK_eyyCHc7FAJQ [05:24] RAI: sudo apt -y install zsync is your best bet [05:24] where to type this [05:25] In your terminal [05:25] that is what the screenshot says, no? [05:26] RAI: Have you executed it yet? [05:26] RAI: (It should go fairly quickly) [05:26] where to exceute it i am asking that [05:27] In your terminal windo [05:27] *window [05:27] The one you just opened [05:27] Ctrl + Alt + T [05:27] Got that?

[05:31] it is hanging so much [05:31] Then why did you allocate a small amount of resources to it? [05:32] Anyways... [05:32] Is the terminal up yet? [05:32] (With a flashing cursor in the window?) [05:32] no [05:32] What are you waiting on? [05:33] Is Ubuntu being slow? [05:33] yes i have amd64 [05:33] By the way, what version of Ubuntu do you have in there? [05:33] Right [05:33] arch is irrelevant :) [05:33] arch ?? [05:33] Is Ubuntu being slow? [05:33] yes [05:33] What version of Ubuntu is it? [05:34] ubuntu amd64 ver [05:34] I know [05:34] That's your architecture [05:34] What I want to know is your version [05:34] LTS or non LTS? [05:34] 16.04 or 14.04? [05:34] Or maybe 17.10?

[05:35] and i have 14.04 save in my disk [05:35] Ok [05:35] So 14.04 [05:35] That's right? [05:35] Does Ubuntu have Unity with the taskbar on the left? [05:35] but in vm i have deleted [05:35] Why? [05:35] I thought you had a VM? [05:36] i have but there is no more space [05:36] So what changed in the past 10 minutes? [05:36] I thought you had one ready? [05:36] so i have deleted kali linux and ubuntu 14.04 and intalled new [05:36] I thought it was just being slow? [05:36] So what's happening now? [05:36] Is it installing? [05:37] (Is that why it's being slow?) [05:37] Or is it already installed? [05:37] Or do you have yet to start it? [05:37] i have installed just restarting [05:37] Alright [05:37] Shouldn't take long to restart [05:37] Right? [05:37] I mean, you do have amd64 right?

[05:40] gotcha ?? [05:40] Gotcha = Got it [05:40] ok [05:40] RAI: In fact, here's what I'd recommend to you [05:41] RAI: In Windows, open a web browser [05:41] hey its open [05:41] RAI: Download the ISO there [05:41] RAI: Then install it in the VM [05:41] RAI: You know what, forget zsync [05:41] which version [05:41] RAI: Just try to download the ISO that way :) [05:41] Well [05:41] What does the task say? [05:41] Does it say Xenial or Bionic? [05:41] Maybe an upgrade test? [05:41] I don't know [05:41] You tell me [05:42] bionic [05:42] Alright [05:42] That's the first step [05:42] Now [05:42] Find me the ISO QA site [05:42] You know, the one linked on the ask [05:42] *task [05:42] Got it?

[05:44] but it take too long to download [05:44] Forget the VM and the terminalo [05:44] Then why are you doing the task if it takes you too long to download? [05:45] s/terminalo/terminal/ [05:45] Like, what's the use? [05:46] because by mistakes i have downloaded am verd [05:46] which is too long [05:46] *ver [05:46] What do you mean?
