Wily Werewolf
Introduction
Say hello to Wily Werewolf.
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 as we say goodbye to Vivid Vervet and welcome to Wily Werewolf! Here is where more work on convergence will take place and experimentation and testing on Ubuntu-Core and Snappy Smart Things. Mark Shuttleworth made reference in his keynote adress that Ubuntu is in a very strategic position as this new-next revolution of convergence to phone, tablets and desktops comes into being, that ubuntu will be more than a mainspring in this metamorphosis.
Interim Testers Wiki
Currently being edited. If I was a Unicorn then I could have used my psychic powers to predict the coming of Wily Werewolf but I am not a Unicorn hence the reason for this notice :)
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
Wily Werewolf 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.

Here are some common codes of interest to help with Wily 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, Utopic Unicorn, Vivid Vervet to Wily Werewolf. 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:
There has been a lot of hot debate topic at Ubuntuforums about the Ubiquity Installer, UEFI and some suggestions at possible changes that can be made. The Ubiquity "greeter" is the first GUI program that is loaded after the Plymouth logo. It presents two options after you boot from your DVD or USB flash drive. First, to 'Try Ubuntu' in the 'live' session. That means that a live session of the version of Ubuntu you are running will load into memory and you can run basic programs and even your internet browser to give Ubuntu a trial run. Secondly, there is the "Install Ubuntu" option which will install Ubuntu to your hdd (hard drive).If you have another operating system on your hard drive, (hdd for short), the Ubuntu Installer will detect it and will then guide you through an easy installation process. You can also "Install Ubuntu" from the "live" session by double clicking the "Install Ubuntu" icon. Ubiquity is designed mostly to work in an automated fashion for STANDARD machines. A STANDARD machine is usually a laptop or desktop that was originally configured with a Windows Operating System in a factory. That Operating System could be ME, Win 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 etc.. A STANDARD machine is most often configured with ONE hard drive! If there is more than one hard drive or if there is another operating system installed alongside the Windows operating system it becomes a CUSTOM install. Ubiquity, during the installation process and configuration of the hard drive, will give you options to install ubuntu alongside, upgrade or erase and remove. It will also give you an option of <something else> which I will discuss soon. The SOMETHING ELSE option can be used for both STANDARD and CUSTOM systems but should be used exclusivley if you are building or working with a CUSTOM system that has more than one hard drive or a RAID array. All in all the installation process can be very easy , or, in many cases, very complex. The best possible way to help others understand is to present hot-links in this section. That would mean active links from Ubuntuforums Development Version and other partners and sources in the Ubuntu community infrastructure. This way all the bases can be covered and possibly make for a smoother transition from obsoleted Windows operating systems to upgraded Ubuntu versions that may be able to utilize your existing desktop or laptop in a more efficient manner. Links will be forthcomming. I apologize for taking such a long period of time to get this section updated. Regards .. Ventrical
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. 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.

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 Instructional Development

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)
