right, infinity ?
>> <amjjawad> Thanks infinity and wxl then guess I have to wait as there
is nothing I can do except confirming bugs.
>> <wxl> amjjawad: you do know you can get around the upower bug by
running off ac power only, right?
>> <infinity> The upower bug was fixed, it just needs a respin.
>> <amjjawad> wxl, I'm testing on Oracle VB. Not sure if that applies to
that as well?!

work.

I try?

ready,

again, i don't think it will help
>> <amjjawad> wxl, indeed, I have access to mark them as ready but never touched
"re-spin" as of now.

and run off of AC power and your vm will work.

have no access to do that

tested it and no dice.

it. it didn't fix it.

believe both.
