Vivid Vervet
Introduction
Say hello to Vivid Vervet.
Ubuntu development cycle has been going through some changes. One of the core changes during the Utopic Unicorn cycle has been the introduction of SystemD, which is suppossed to boot Ubuntu faster and manage the boot process better. Also the introduction of Ubuntu-Next Unity8 flavour ISO. We expect to see even more changes comming in this cycle now named Vivid Vervet.
Interim Testers Wiki
About Interim Testers Wiki
The interim testers wiki is an offsite wiki link that is basically a duplicate of this current wiki with the exception that it is more current and up to date with data of the current development cycle. It will also include a new section called Instructional Development which may include some animations that may cause some users with slower machines and slower internet bandwidth some difficulties in loading and scrolling. An offsite text version of Instructional Development may be a work in progress in the imediate future.
New Beta Testers Warnings
Vivid Vervet is the codename for the new development cycle. If you are a new Beta tester and want to upgrade your repositories to the new development cycle then you must be advised that there are certain risks of breakage that could take place on your system(s). it is always advised that you have an extra system (hardware) or an extra harddrive to experiment with. If you are not familiar with experimenting with computer hardware or software then U+1 is not the forum for you, however, if you are willing to be on the cutting edge of Ubuntu release and understand that there could be breakage and want to contribute then the Ubuntu community welcomes you and your valued contributions.

Some sudo Command Definitions
sudo basically means superusers-do. It is the basic command that gives access to administrative files that may need root authentication. There is a large database on sudo and sudoers definitions and uses in the following links. SudoUbuntuManuals and SudoersUbuntuManual
Here are some common codes of interest to help with Utopic recovery in the event of a crash.
How to find your sources.list - this list is used to set repositories and can be done manually. It is also informative to have on hand if you decide to do a transitional upgrade from Oneiric Ocelot to Precise Pangolin or upcoming Trusty Tahr, now Utopic Unicorn.
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Here is a list of commonly used Ubuntu/Linux terminal Codes (not necessarily in order and open to interpretation) of UU Crash Recovery Codes -To be updated:

Ideas:
We should use MoinMoin Syntax Parsers (http://moinmo.in/HelpOnParsers) where commands/code are presented. Parsers ensure code/commands are not converted to smileys and other MoinMoin stuff, therefore presented without errors.
- We had some amazing threads, specially since the OO cycle, which maybe we could use here;
- The stickies at Ubuntu+1 have some information that can probably be summarized / simplified here - investigate;
- Add a "What is a development cycle" section: How Ubuntu is developed, by who, where, how, when and where it is released (Alphas, Betas, RCs, etc), who tests it, how it is tested, where bugs are reported, how to report bugs properly, who manages bugs reports, etc. A basic vision of how Ubuntu development works."
Log files: A lot of people don't know they exist, where they are stored, the type of information available in each log file, how to open them, how to search them easily for valuable information. EDIT:I'll contribute to this portion - I already have something written, as well as log searching scripts posted at Ubuntu+1 threads (posted by Effenberg0x0)
Cleaned!
