ppc images too big

just when i find some time to do some ppc testing, i find both desktop and alternate images are >688mb so they don't fit on a cd. openfirmware is too buggy to rely upon for usb boot. believe me, i've tried. looks like dvd-rw it is. guess i'll be headed out to buy one but it seems kind of silly c

Just as an fyi -- #ubuntu-qa isn't a "special" channel, it's the old channel that was closed to consolidate with #ubuntu-testing. No one can get into it :-) It used to redirect automagically, I guess they stopped that. Nicholas On 09/18/2012 07:32 PM, Ho Wan Chan wrote: Gee some wrong info

Re: Introduction

Well of course more testing the better, but then if you are not Nicholas or Phill you won certainly have that much machines or VMs. It is best to first choose your favorite distro (I first use Desktop, then test Ubuntu Studio), then once you feel comfortable then do other distros:) Regards, Howar

Remote Desktop Access from login screen

Hello, I'm having a problem with Universal Client Config Service. It happened that I was trying the Remote Desktop Access from Ubuntu 12.10 login screen, I logged on to the Universal Client Config Service, I had some days ago inserted a remote server to connect to, but as I cancelled the entry

At the moment, there isn't any plans for testing these new drivers as they come into place. However, ideas are starting to come forward on how we might be able to help test in support of this new process. I'm open to your thoughts :-) As you mentioned, we could track the drivers and create a tr

Left-click doesn't work!

I'm running the daily quantal build, and this time, after a dist-upgrade earlier this morning, my left click doesn't work on my machine. It's quite a bummer. What package applies to the mouse? Gotta report this. Thanks. -- John Kim Ubuntu enthusiast l ookjohn.co

Re: Latest daily build is buggy!

Hi John, this may sound blindingly obvious, but can you try with a different mouse? For any one to try and duplicate the issue you must raise a bug against the specific version of the large family that is ubuntu on which you are seeing this[1]. Thanks, Phill 1. http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker

Latest daily build is buggy!

Hello QA So far, the daily builds have been fine and quite stable until the one a few days ago. I almost can't trust my mouse, because it is perpetually right-clicking, and if I move my cursor, it creates a drag space. It was as if my left click is null. Following the weird mouse, my computer s
