Hello, I am new to this platform (linux), distribution (ubuntu), and all it's associated terms etc., but am not new to the concepts. I have been reading, and reading the wiki pages, attempting to find the correct processes, for reporting issues/problems I have discovered during my attempted use/installs of ubuntu (live CD, and install to hd). I have found a few, what I believe might be issues, with wiki pages that have confused my learning process. I'm not sure where to start, so I've started here.
I am using the 'Feisty Herd 4' iso image Live CD (have also tried the daily build 2/24), for "Testing". Reading the wiki page 'ubuntu.com/testing/herd4' section "Reporting Bugs & Testing" included below. The "[Testing]" link appears to be broken, leaving me wondering what process to follow. The section also refers to 'report bugs through Malone', while the next paragraph states 'the Bug Squad team in Launchpad'. After further reading I believe the correct process to report bugs is via Malone!? Feisty Fawn has bugs! (I bet you're not surprised). Your comments, bug reports, patches and suggestions will help fix bugs and improve future releases. After reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs please report bugs through Malone. If you want to help out with those bugs, the Bug Squad team in Launchpad is always looking for help. If you plan to do an installation of Feisty Herd 4, be sure to head to [Testing]. With just a few minutes of time at your hands, you can really help to improve Ubuntu. We have two different tests; one takes just a short while, but the other is more thorough. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Current - Simply note how your installation went https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Short - the short test https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Long - the longer test Reading the wiki page 'ubuntu.com/testing/head4' section "Feedback" included below, refers to 'using any of the other methods on the Ubuntu Marketing Team wiki page' which is not linked, nor obviously identifiable within the wiki. This document is maintained by the Ubuntu Marketing Team. Please feel free to contact us regarding any concerns or suggestions by either sending an email to [email protected] or by using any of the other methods on the Ubuntu Marketing Team wiki page. In reference to #1 above. I follow the link 'https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Current' to note how my installation went, and am refered immediately under the "ISO Testing" section to another process. Therefore I read the section 'Testing/ReportingResults' before proceeding to Malone. Test results are no longer tracked on this page but instead with the ubuntu-iso-tests product in Malone. Read Testing/ReportingResults for instructions on using the new tracking system. See the overview of Install Methods. In reference to #3 above. After following the link to 'Testing/ReportingResults', and following/verifying the download of my CD, the instructions listed below provide a link to connect you to a "test tracking page" which contains no results, other than a sample (what's up?). Make sure that the build number (like 20070107.1) matches the test number listed on the test tracking page! Then: Check the md5sum! To check the md5sum of your image, open a terminal and write: After all my reading, I'm not sure where to enter either: the results of my experience with the "Feisty" Live/CD; or to enter what appears to be a simple small bug with Feisty's new udev rules. I have plans to test install this platform, on three machines (Desktop with PDA, firewall, and Laptop), but these tests will prove useless if I cannot report the results/issues/bugs encountered. If you could so kindly provide me with directions, for the current process: of reporting test usage of LiveCD, HD installs; and detail process/methods for bug reporting it would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
