If you look at the [Lubuntu Bugs page][1] on the wiki, you'll see a link to
the [Ubuntu Reporting Bugs instructions][2], which should explain
everything in detail for you. If you're still unclear, feel free to drop a
line here or perhaps more appropriately, the larger [Ubuntu Quality
Team][3], as these questions/issues are fundamental to Ubuntu in general,
not just Lubuntu. For that matter, as I said before, these are unlikely to
be issues specific to Lubuntu.

Also, I don't these bugs are exclusive to Lubuntu. You should try to

Such is the case with bugs. They need to be adequately detailed in order to
solve. In general, the most detailed reports with the most amount of
troubleshooting will get the most amount of attention. It's up to you to
decide how much you wish to contribute. I get the feeling, though, that you
really want to help, so I'm just trying to give you some advice to become
more effective.

That might take some time.

[lubuntu-users] Fwd: [lubuntu-devel] [Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu Yakkety Yak Beta 1 has been released!

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi All,

In the heat of the moment, I neglected to send this message to pretty much
everyone. Here it is, just to keep you informed...

Hi Nio & Walter,

Note: If someone is testing an iso, should it be a requirement that they
run Software Updater, just in case they spot bugs that have been recently
fixed?

Walter: I agree - only reproducible problems should be logged as bugs. Is
this page the right page for me to file bugs - https://bugs.launchpad.net/
lubuntu ?

Nio,
I've been doing more testing. I'm currently running memtest86+ to make sure
the hardware is OK. It has been OK in the past, I'm just checking. Will do
a bit more testing and then see what reproducible bugs I have spotted and
then file them on the above mentioned launchpad page. A friend wants me to
type up and print a letter for him tomorrow. Will see how that turns out on
this test system :)

Yes.

Started SPM again & it opened OK.

A mystery.

Maybe the hplip libraries are not yet updated for Yakkety.

The crash information mentioned a .py file. That file extension is what a
Windows developer would give to a Python script file. Not a big Python
expert but I believe Python 3 is a breaking change from v2 to v3. On my
Ubuntu laptop I get this:-

ian@turing:~$ which python python2 python3
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python3
ian@turing:~$

So if someone is doing a #!/usr/bin/python in a script requiring a
particular version (e.g. 3) then they use this as the first line of their
script:-
#!/usr/bin/python3

OK, memtest86+ 5.01 has finished testing the Netbook and there are no
memory errors.

Off to do more testing :)

BW,


Ian
