Hi, I'm not a ubuntu tester (I'm Lubuntu), so cannot answer about mir, however I do suggest you look closely at what an update & upgrade is planning to do as per the link on my earlier email [1]. If it is *not* offering a partial upgrade then there may be a gremiln in the works; if it *does* offer a partial upgrade, my advice is to refuse it and try again some 12 hours later. However, at this early stage of testing (in old language, we are still pre-alpha 2) things can get out of sync for a few hours. If you are in doubt of what an upgrade is proposing, ask on the #ubuntu-quality IRC channel.
Thank you for being a tester. Keep smiling and keep testing :) Regards, Phill. 1. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343434 On 15 July 2013 19:56, Vasudevan Kottilil <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Nicholas and Phil. > I am not using virtualbox.
