I would point out and clarify I don't want to see any technical discussion moved off this list and migrating somewhere else -- I don't think we're at risk of that happening. The FB and g+ pages will serve as open-ended ads to point back to the group and it's "normal" communication channels. W

12.04.1 ISO Testing

Nvidia Driver Woes

Some folks ran into this over the weekend, and I've heard enough about it that I thought a mail wouldn't hurt :-) For those running quantal, a new X stack has landed that breaks the nvidia driver. For now, the driver has been disabled. Read more: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/

Re: QA Testing at LoCo events

Elizabeth, this sounds like a great idea to do. I think we globally as a QA team could help pitch in here. For instance, there is also a package tracker and we have the ability to test individual packages as well. During the jam we might consider having people test the new kernel, unity, or per

Good ideas everyone ;-) I am on google plus, and we could start a page easily enough there. If you didn't already know it, there's also a @ubuntutesting twitter account. In addition I would like to encourage everyone to use things like reddit, the forums, blogs, etc to write about there experie

Survey Results

The results to the quality survey I undertook a few weeks back are in: http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/08/quality-perceptions-survey-results.html Thank you to all who participated. There are some takeaways from the survey and I'll likely be continuing to post more addressing the question

Re: alpha3

Arvind, you can boot your system in rescue mode and access a command line that way. Does the system boot at all? I'd need more information to recommend the easiest way to recover. Nicholas On 08/16/2012 07:58 AM, Arvind Gupta wrote: HI I have upgraded to alpha3 by update-manager -d. It sto

Re: Which Hardware Profile to Post?

Sanchit, good question. This cycle I have been working towards bringing a community hardware database to be utilized for testing purposes like this. We might consider including a flag of some sort to indicate that you utilized a virtual machine for the testing. At the moment, I have been ignori

Broken Unity

I broke unity last night -- heh.. There's a new version of unity coming this week, and there will be testcases for us to test. I'll be announcing a call for testing when it comes.. So head's up. However, it seems keeping the webapps ppa around is causing some broken packages during this transi

Re: missing mouse

Jackson, not sure anyone answered you here :-) I've not tested using qemu this cycle; perhaps someone else can ring in here. My guess however is that there is something going on with qemu, and not in ubuntu. I've not seen any reports of a missing mouse before. Nicholas On 08/14/2012 04:41 AM,
