In addition, I started going thru the tests on the iso tracker, but have not finished getting thru and speaking with others about the tests I found 17:12:28 Did anyone else take a look at manual test cases or the iso tests, or have any plans to do so? :-) 17:12:55 * gema looks to the floor... 17:12:57 I *believe* alpha 2 drops next week correct? 17:13:06 yes 17:13:33 by drops you mean fails or you mean happens ? :) 17:13:38 gema would you mind discussing that a bit after our scheduled agenda? 17:13:46 I mean happens :-) 17:13:49 I hope jibel is around 17:13:58 he is the one coordinating alpha 2 from our side 17:14:07 he'll surely send an email later this week asking for collaboration 17:14:16 ok, on my action I will roll it over again to next week and try and get some more work done on that front 17:14:24 ok 17:14:41 it'd be good for you to run some tests for alpha 2 as well, balloons, to get the feel for it :D 17:15:02 and feel the pressure of the milestone .. the adrenaline rush, it's quite good 17:15:06 [action] balloons to continue test case review and provide updates on progress 17:15:06 * meetingology balloons to continue test case review and provide updates on progress 17:15:16 gema, yes I will definitely plan on it 17:15:23 ok, let's move on 17:16:38 * txomon|home arrive 17:16:42 [TOPIC] Ubuntu Flavor Updates 17:17:00 thanks to ScottK I got the terminology right this week (i hope) 17:17:12 let's start with kubuntu -- anyone about? 17:17:26 Sure. 17:17:40 anything to share ScottK? 17:17:50 The KDE SC 4.7.4 update I mentioned last week transitioned to oneiric-updates on Monday. 17:18:10 Riddell is working landing KDE SC 4.8.0 for precise as we speak. 17:18:27 So for KDE stuff we should be ~ready for Alpha 2. 17:18:29 awesome -- and it releases next week also correct? 17:18:34 I mean KDE 17:18:39 4.8.0 is released today. 17:18:51 ohh.. feels early :-) 17:19:16 awesome, so alpha 2 will ship with 4.8, great news 17:19:28 The biggest concern for Alpha 2 is we had to skip Alpha 1, so the installer hasn't had a big workout 17:19:40 We have some success reports, so hopefully it's all good. 17:19:44 Tha'ts it. 17:19:48 thank you 17:20:00 how about xubuntu? 17:20:24 I don't see anyone here.. 17:20:46 let's move on. I know phillw is here -- anything to report from lubuntu? 17:20:50 our main issue is bug 918401 which is proving problematical for our Head of Dev to sort out as the proposed fix works on his system but for none of us testers :/ 17:20:52 Launchpad bug 918401 in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Unity-greeter installed by default on Lubuntu, crashing on start" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/918401 17:21:23 ohh really? 17:21:28 you CAN login, but blindly. Other new bits for precise seem to be behaving. 17:22:30 it may be causing a problem with Wubi, but we're not sure. That's all from lubuntu. 17:22:42 thank you phillw 17:23:02 how about ubuntu studio? astraljava? 17:24:02 :-), we'll move on again.. Finally, edubuntu. anyone around? 17:24:53 ok, let's change topics then 17:25:11 [TOPIC] Blueprint updates / discussion 17:25:40 I know I skipped blueprints last week, but I thought I would provide a place if anyone wanted to mention anything specific regarding status or help for a blueprint 17:27:19 ok, sounds fine. That ends our scheduled topics. 17:27:25 [TOPIC] Other topics 17:27:27 We have two additional items to discuss. An update from me, and an update from jibel and gema on alpha 2. does anyone else have any other topics to discuss? 17:27:49 if not, we'll begin with my item 17:28:05 mine is just to mention I contacted cobbler guys 17:28:34 ok txomon|home we can discuss it first -- what did you find out 17:28:35 ? 17:29:24 Well, I contacted cobbler guys in their list, and they mentioned that the docs where prepared for the original cobbler project 17:30:12 And that they spected Orchestra guys could make a doc for the ubuntu version 17:31:09 txomon|home, did you speak to Roakasoax? 17:31:12 He said it was just a cascade style sheet and some kickstart addons, the documentation they had could be more use full 17:31:38 balloons, don't know that name... 17:32:12 whoops, have an extra a in there 17:32:30 I expressed badly, I meant that the more changes Orchestra did, the less reliable would be the docs 17:32:34 Roaksoax.. regardless, he would be a good person to contact on cobbler, specific to ubuntu 17:32:42 I can pass you the mail btw 17:32:46 (to the list) 17:33:02 oki 17:33:23 ok, sounds good 17:33:59 I will try once more with cobbler 17:34:27 I did some tests, and If you are using VMs to test, netboot is not necessary 17:35:02 the most... Useful item is the proxy cach� 17:35:30 that's everything 17:36:28 thank you.. I'm as curious as ever to see what you end up putting together for this.. 17:36:31 I'll go ahead bext. I am undertaking a point to highlight everyone in ubuntu community who is working on quality, and I wanted to make sure I included some good info and contact info on the different flavor qa teams in addition to ubuntu 17:38:01 I will send a message to the list as well, but if someone from each flavor's QA team wished to send along (or better yet, point me to a web page) a couple sentence description of the work and a way of contacting that would be wonderful 17:38:55 I trust that makes sense to everyone.. if no one has any questions, we'll get to our last item 17:39:52 ok, gema and jibel your up. can you talk a little about alpha 2 and what the qa team has planned? 17:40:04 balloons: jibel is not around, I think 17:40:20 next week is alpha2 week and we welcome all the testing everyone can do to help 17:40:25 watch out for jibel's email 17:40:31 regarding how to proceed 17:41:07 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures 17:41:13 here is the explanation on how to help 17:42:11 that's all from me 17:42:53 thank you gema.
