I'm sorry, but if we're talking about the same bug it popped up in
mid-November, now we're nearly at the end of February. That's like 3 1/2
months of not being able to properly install and test the images so it's not
inconsequential that testers would feel their testing has no impact.
Don't be surprised when testers drop out after seeing weeks, months or even
years of critical (and fixable) bugs going unattended.

Lance, it looks like xnox has assigned
himself this bug and is working on it. I've not run across it, but
looking at the comments it seems like a certain partition setup is
needed. That said, your obviously keeping your eye on it, which is
a good thing. If your testing during the cadence week and slamming
into this bug, just file the result with the bug report and use
the workarounds to keep going. There might other issues plaguing
the installer.
I know it can feel frustrating to see bugs sit, but keep at it.
Make sure the devs can reproduce, and ask for status updates or
offer to help as needed. Recently, jackson and phil have
successfully been able to work with the testdrive and dev folks to
get fixes in for testdrive and virtualbox. It took them a bit and
they definitely kept at it, asking different people to help along
the way. It's just a recent example of being helpful and showing
concern for the bug in question. Keep plugging away. Making a
thread dedicated to the bug on the mailing list is another way to
raise visibility amongst everyone and help you (and all of us) to
drive the bug.

there are things getting fixed, but not many. there
doesn't seem to be enough testing though, even just to get some
bugs confirmed. some bugs in the iso tracker have been "new" for
a few months.

Do you have a
bug report # for that ubiquity bug?
I'm aware of this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701
It's been bugging many of us since mid-November but
we obviously no longer care about the ability to
install and/or test the images until Beta falls :^(
I hate to be the turd in the punch-bowl, but why
bother testing if nothing ever gets fixed?

PS: this is an indication that "cadence" should be
renamed, maybe to "we'll look at it later"!

Hi good people,
as we run through cadence testing, there
does seem to be a lack of testing. Can I ask
that people do test out the DeskTop versions
for lubuntu and xubuntu as we seem to have a
gremlin in ubiquity that may only affect our
Virtual Machines. Also when you take the time
out to try the 'alternate' ISOs for lubuntu,
would you also please check out the basic
ubuntu-server ISO, as it is required for us to
maintain support for the lubuntu-alternate ISO
series.
Regards,
Phill.
P.S. if anyone who is receiving this sort
of email for the first time, please have a
read of both the below links and feel free
to get in touch.
