Final Beta Testing

[flocculant]

Hi all

we have some images to test for the Final Beta.

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/367/builds

Mostly there are no major issues with this image.

It does still need people to check this.

You'll note I said mostly ...

we do have 1 bug which will to stop us from releasing the beta

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1622303

This is affecting lock and as a result returning from suspend.

WE do need as much testing of this as possible in the next few days,
while we're unlikely to release Beta - we need to be in a position to
decide on our options for the release of Yakkety in October.

If you have extra information you can add to the bug report please do so
- we don't need any 'affects me too' comments however - that is what
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1622303/+affectsmetoo
is for.

I'm calling a halt to testing on this milestone, we will not be
releasing the beta due to the lock bug. We'll do some smoketesting just
to make sure the iso installs properly, but that's easy enough to do. I
do it daily anyway.

So relax for the moment and take a deep breath while we deal with the
following.

Over the next day or so, the Tech Lead and I will be setting up a
testcase for people to test some options as a replacement for light-locker.

As people will know there is little time between now and Final Release.

So we need to get some replacement choices, test as much as possible,
then make the change to the seed before the Release Candidate arrives.

Once the test is set up, it will live on the package tracker and we will
want as many people as possible to test that for us.

Hope that makes sense.
