Hi Julien, with such short time scale left, I've had a chat with Walter (PPC guy and release manager). We're minded to drop PPC from 14.10 and concentrate our limited resources on the 14.04 LTS. I'm pretty sure you will be in agreement, the question is will LXQt support the PPC machines, or do we

it appears we have a big showstopper for ppc for anyone with radeon video: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1377878 we may want to focus our efforts on +1 daily testing with nvidia chips and making sure LTS is really solid for everyone until that bug gets fixed. wxl -- Maili

Sorry to be rude, but the question is more short term : Do we have the time to test another i386, 3 days before the release ? - If yes, we should respin now, and start the test (because a respin will make the ISO CD size, I done the necessary cut). - If no, so we have to live with a non CD size ISO

some perspective: there's nothing that's not oversized anymore. cds are kind of old hat. that being said, lubuntu is often targeted at machines that are old hat ;) those machines often have the biggest problems with drivers. having a live version can be essential for those sort of situations. wit

Hi, Having to use DVD or buy special 800MB CD-R's is also a pain, when the machines targeted can neither boot to USB nor be booted with the help of Plop boot manager. (Which sometimes happens, or it would boot but then behave in a way which makes it not usable). Besides that I notice here: http

I second that. Being restricted to CD size is a large burden, DVD drives/USB boot capability are both common nowadays. If there are many complaints, we could make a community respin with only lubuntu-core, but that is another story. Best regards! Am 20. Oktober 2014 16:15:29 MESZ, schrieb Ph
