Revision 10 as of 2008-03-25 04:50:17

Clear message

Today's Bug Day will focus on ubiquity - the Live CD installer. Since [http://www.ubuntu.com/testing Hardy Beta] was recently released, we felt it would be a good idea to focus on ubiquity bugs to help ensure everyone has a pleasant experience installing Ubuntu.

Here we have a sampling of bugs to work on for Hug Day. After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your name in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding lightgreen in the first cell of the column after "background-color:" and before ";". This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged.

You might find it more convenient to edit the wiki page using editmoin a command line utility for editing moinmoin wiki pages. It is available as a package in Gutsy and Hardy. More information including an easier way to do this was [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2007-November/000666.html mailed] to the Bug Squad.

150 bugs with status "New" about ubiquity

These bugs have not yet been triaged. Detailed information about debugging ubiquity can be found at the [:DebuggingUbiquity] page. A reply you might want to use is Include(Bugs/Responses, ,from="== Debugging Live CD Installation ==",to="== Incomplete bugs without a response from submitter ==")

To mark it off the list you should:

  • Ask the reporter for more detailed information, subscribe yourself to the bug and mark it "Incomplete" or

  • Set it "Confirmed" and set an importance (if you are not a QA member ask someone for help)
