We currently still have some bugs being watched, one I’m personally watching will hopefully disappear if casper reaches 1.454 (current ISOs are using 1.452)
We’d welcome as much testing as possible, on as many boxes as possible.
I have some free time coming up. I can toss some hours at this, but not for this release. Do you want testing on bare metal, or is testing in a VM adequate? Is the #Lubuntu IRC the place to go?
Testing on bare metal is best, on boxes I’m not willing to overwrite what’s there, I just use the live QA-test option, meaning no change to existing box is required (note: on borrowed boxes I’ve had owners (using windows) tell me their clock gets changed to UTC/UST so I make them aware of this)
Testing in a VM is also helpful too.
Telegram and IRC are linked, but yep #lubuntu maybe suitable (it it’s bug related, #lubuntu-devel maybe a better choice but you’ll get asked to move there if that’s of benefit). General Ubuntu & flavor testing also have #ubuntu-quality (linked telegram group “Ubuntu Testers” can be found here https://t.me/UbuntuTesters)
There are two types of installs recorded in the testing tracker for Lubuntu
install, or
live.
In the install option, I tried to outline in the other post how we record our testcases (but do whatever you can, as exact details is less important than the testing itself!)
Thanks for the info. I’ve ‘bookmarked’ the info and set it to remind me in a month, which is about when I expect to have some hours I can throw at testing. I’ve been using Lubuntu for years and only filed a couple of bug reports along the way. Sure, I’ve answered a ton of questions, but I think I can give back a little more.
Just FYI as it relates to 20.10, a month will be too late since the release comes this month (that’s what the 10 refers to, the 10th month of the 20th year of the 2000s). Either way, we’ll be glad to have you and happy to offer help.
Casper 1.455 has been tested & works, though currently it’s only available on Ubuntu groovy daily 2020-10-16.4. We’ll hopefully see it on tomorrow’s daily
