Thanks for suggesting the addition of new test cases to the smoke testing process. The resolution of this bug will tell us where the problem is, but it sounds as if the problem is on the VMware side rather than on the Ubuntu side. Smoke testing is meant to verify the product is suitable for further testing and dev usage, not to determine whether Precise would work in every other visualization/hardware platform. What you are suggesting is interoperability testing, rather than smoke testing, also a valid test case, so we'll add it to our test suite in due time (please, drop us an email if you get to it earlier). We can add it straight away to our milestone testing, and do it manually for the time being. > > Is there a "blessed" (ie, regularly tested working) VM for Ubuntu out there? If you want to use the same one the QA team are using for automated smoke testing, go for KVM. It's the one we have more coverage for at the moment and it is used more widely in the community afaik. > > Thanks, > Scott Ritchie > Thanks, Gema -- Gema Gomez-Solano <[email protected]> Ubuntu QA Team https://launchpad.net/~gema.gomez Canonical Ltd. http://www.canonical.com -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
