[02:33] <tsimonq2> Whoops, it looks like I forgot to enable Britney for the new release.
 *smacks Simon*
[16:47] <tsimonq2> throws an entire Java config file at @teward001, knocking him out cold
 that's not going to be enough :P
 you'll have to distribute the COVID here to do any damage to me :P
 :P
[20:41] <KGIII> I'm not doing anything better. Would checking to see if it is installable be of any value? I can go ahead and try that. 
[20:46] <wxl> that's an essential part of every testcase
[20:48] <kc2bez> If you go to the test tracker http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com you can log it against the Hirsute Daily.
[20:49] <KGIII> Right now, I'm just in a VM. When I get to my study I'll actually test on bare metal. And, it's installing now. So far, so good. 
[20:50] <KGIII> I did notice that screen brightness had no impact on the actual brightness - as in I couldn't change it. I suspect that's because I'm in a VM, however.
[20:50] <kc2bez> Yes, that may not do much in a VM. VM testing can still be helpful though.
[20:51] <KGIII> I'll test on real hardware in a bit. I have a box I can dedicate to the task. 
[20:51] <kc2bez> If you are up for some more reading we have some information regarding testing on our Wiki as well. https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/testing/
[20:51] <KGIII> If you can't tell, I'm very new to this testing thing. (I'm not new to Linux, just the testing thing.)
[20:52] <kc2bez> We appreciate any help. Thanks for testing!
[20:52] <KGIII> LOL Thanks @kc2bez, I have that tab open already on the host OS. I think it was wxl or guiverc that shared it last night.
[20:52] <kc2bez> Lol Great minds XD
[20:53] <KGIII> I'm committing to testing for the duration of this release. After that, I make no promises. But, I'll do it for the entire release so that at least your time explaining it all doesn't go to waste!
[20:54] <kc2bez> Nice. We'll try to get some changes rolled out for you to test XD
[20:55] <KGIII> The numeric number in the URL to download the ISO is indicative of the date of release and every time that number changes it means there's a new release. Is my understanding correct?
[20:55] <kc2bez> Yes. That is when the iso is created.
[20:56] <KGIII> Is that every day, or just when there were changes made?
[20:57] <kc2bez> It should be daily but sometimes there are issues with the builds so you may not see one get published.
[20:58] <kc2bez> Sometimes there are no(few) changes from day to day. The changes that happen might not be Lubuntu specific changes meaning they could be to the underlying Ubuntu base.
[20:59] <KGIII> Thanks! I can commit to 2 to 5 hours per week, sometimes more and sometimes less. As I age, I have become a bit of a miser with regards to my blocks of time. We shall see!
[21:00] <kc2bez> Every bit helps, we really do appreciate it.
[21:01] <KGIII> I appreciate Lubuntu. I've used it for years. I'm not (yet) terribly fond of LXQt, but I'll adjust. 
[21:02] <KGIII> I think the decision to help test was made when I learned that 32 bit was no longer an option not because the devs hate 32 bit but because they didn't have enough testers. I don't have any need for 32 bit OSes, but I can empathize with their plight. So, I figure I'll give testing a try. 
[21:04] <kc2bez> It helps. It is impossible to have every hardware combination so we really do rely on testers to try these things out.
[21:16] <KGIII> Well, I have an older i5 (third gen, I think) that I am able to 'donate' to the cause. I have more hardware than I need and I can keep that one dedicated to testing. I ain't scared!
[21:25] <KGIII> There... It has been a couple of decades since I regularly used IRC.
[21:28] <KGIII> I used the bottom-most ISO, the Live Sesson, but also installed it. I submitted that it passed with no bugs. I do so on that one and not the other, because that's the one that I tested. Is that correct?
[21:34] <kc2bez> That sounds correct to me.
[21:35] <KGIII> I'm flashing it to USB with Rufus, and then I'll meander over to my study. If it passes on that one, do I go ahead and submit that it passed again - or is the once with a VM adequate?
[21:36] <KGIII> Sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to ensure that I'm doing things properly and in the way that will be of the greatest benefit. Fortunately, I shouldn't have to ask the same question twice.
 You should submit results for each machine ideally.
 No worries on the questions, we will try to answer them the best we can.
[21:38] <KGIII> Thanks and will do.
