Asus K53E laptop won't load daily ISO

[Brian Gottier]

Laptop (Asus K53E) is currently running Xubuntu 14.04.3, but when trying to
boot from DVD w/ daily ISO from today, it gets to the splash screen (where
the spinner graphic is), and then reboots. This is an infinite loop.

DVD is fine. In fact I'm running it live right now, and typing this message
to you on it, but on a different computer.

I'm not looking for support, simply testing and reporting problems. Xubuntu
14.04 loads just fine from DVD on this laptop, but not 16.04. I'm not
asking for help, but if you don't want to know about the user experience,
then just let me know so I can stop wasting my time (and apparently yours).

Hello Brian,

I'm sorry if it appeared like I didn't care people sending feedback.
Ultimately, you only said "daily ISO" in the original message, which
could be the daily ISO for 14.04 too. Again, sorry if you felt like the
feedback was not welcome.

That said, when testing development releases, bugs you find should be
filed in Launchpad and test results (generally) submitted to the
ISO/package testing trackers [1]. Testers submitting there is the only
way we can relatively reasonably track how much testing our products get.

Problems with booting are definitely bugs/reports we want in the
tracker, so others running the same tests (with Xubuntu or other
flavors) can see the tests failing as well. As you can understand, the
communication works much more efficiently this way since everybody is
using the trackers (but not everybody is reading all development mailing
lists).

If you need more information about testing and reporting, feel free to
ask on the mailing list (or the IRC channel #xubuntu-devel on Freenode).

Cheers,
Pasi
