Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to make this detailed report.
The dependency on python-dateutil is fixed in the development version of
checkbox, I think I marked that bug as Fix Released.
SD and USB tests depend on dbus, and I noticed some related errors in
your log. Do you know if your system runs dbus? this is something we'd
have to investigate.
We've received many requests for some way to show status and indication
of why a test failed or wasn't executed, this is something we're working
on for a future version.
We're also working on providing better results upload feedback and a
more responsive UI in general, including addressing the confusion from
the yes/no/next buttons; you're only supposed to use Next when you want
to skip a test, but this is not as clear as we would have wanted it to
be.
We do care about results from ubuntu flavors, however it's been
difficult to accomodate the many different package combinations and ways
to access hardware that these flavors provide. We've done some work to
ensure that things work relatively well on Kubuntu but, as your case
proves, that's not enough. However this is difficult to achieve if the
set of packages checkbox needs to interact with is not consistent. And
we can't make them all checkbox dependencies because that'd potentially
mess up people's systems (e.g. Kubuntu users complaining because
checkbox tried to bring in some Gtk packages). I think the best thing to
do would be to at least ensure that checkbox informs the user when the
system doesn't have an expected package, and fixing the parts that fail
even in the presence of the expected package.
I'm marking incomplete pending your confirmation on the dbus issue, so
we can look into that and get it fixed so the tests behave as described.
Thanks!
