Norman well said! Unity testing folk (and Popey) please note. I was
appalled at the level of knowledge that the tests required. The Unity
testing program ought at least to tell you how to start gedit etc. And
to use programs that are installed by default, which does NOT include
Amarok that is (almost) specifically asked for by at least one of the
tests. By the way, gedit is the default text editor and you can start
it by clicking on 'Text Editor'. Where do you find that? Well, it's
not too bad now I know my way around the latest Unity ... but I agree,
it can be a bit daunting. However, if you type 'gedit' into the entry
field that comes up when you click the top (Ubuntu) button on the
launcher sidebar, you will get a match that you can click. The same
would be true of Nautilus, but actually all you need to do is open the
'Files' (Home Folder) icon on the launcher sidebar.
Oh, and a 'program that needs multiple windows' .... PLEASE .... some
of us might understand this, but just get back to the drawing board.
Unity testing folk - please use plain English for a change!!!! </rant>
Norman, please continue, and ask this list at every hurdle. It's worth
it. If only to try the latest Unity lenses. Unity under 12.04 is
awesome!!!!
Regards, Barry.
I have to admit, I tried to go through the testing, and got lost with
some of the things they want you to do, so I gave up, and following
this, if I had that problem with the partition, I dont think it would
have been as simple for me to understand how to get around it........but
I have to say, I am amazed at 12.04, I have been using it as my main OS,
and have only come across a few things that caused a problem, and I have
to admit, its got me liking Unity.....which I didnt think I would, way
to go........I dont open too many windows, though I am having problems
getting used to Gimp which I finding a bit confusing with the way the
windows open, but if I dont have the main window maximised, I am ok......
