Hi Robert,
Please file your report on the Ubuntu forums at
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=201and a member of the Xubuntu
team (ie. me) will copy the results over to the wiki. By posting on the
forums, you let people know that Xubuntu is active! So if any other users
are interested in testing, please post on the forums as well.
Furthermore, please feel free to update the wiki as well (if you know how).
If you don't have an account, please visit http://launchpad.net and create
one. Note: If you already have a launchpad.net account OR you've used
shipit, that login will work on all three sites.
Thanks,
Cody A.W. Somerville

I downloaded and installed xubuntu 7.04 from the alt-cd and here is what
I report (I don't have access to update the wiki)
First, I ran the disk checker
aside from the blue box jumping all over the screen, it went fine
Then I ran the text install
first item up: auto-detect keyboard
maybe I just don't understand how it is supposed to work, or I cant
tell the difference with the keys, but tried it 4 times, kept getting wrong
keyboard layout. Manually set up the keyboard (English/English)
for the disk partitioning, I chose the guided resize & use free. Aside
from me not seeing the progress bars move at all (partition 1 stated @ 0%
until complete, partition 3 stated and stayed @ 33% until complete) all went
well (so far as I could tell)
The install ran fine, progress bars worked, no hangs or errors
Grub detected my 6.10 install, and configured properly
rebooted and launched into 7.04 automatically (but on second reboot, grub
waited for me to pick--maybe I accidentally hit the <enter> key and didn't
notice?)
The first application I launched was gxine to test audio and DVD playback
(non-encrypted DVD)
upon launch, gxine immediately displays error box "No Demuxer found"
closed that box, gxine played music cd
chose DVD from the menu, got another error message saying it could not
play the media and that xine-lib was broken (will have to get the exact
error message later)
opened synaptic and checked the repos. Universe was UNchecked but
Multiverse WAS checked (?) changed location from USA to MAIN
installing gnomebaker went without issue
forgot to check for updates @ this time (more later)
attempted to add a user, but the user admin tool said only that I did
not have permissions to run the app
tested network-admin, this also would not load from the
applications>settings>network-admin but it DID launch from command line
It looks like only synaptic will load from the menu list (and prompt
for your password)
At this time, I ran mark all upgrades, there were 9 to load and it ran
without issue; but it removed gaim, open office,
synaptic(!), xubuntu-desktop, and a bunch of other files. attempted to
re-install synaptic with apt-get, but it requires liblaunchpad0 (I think I
copied that right) which it found but could not install because it needed
liblaunchpad (or something similar...same as the above, without the zero)
in terminal, I ran grep -r <my password> /var and got a long list of
permission denied and "file not found" errors, but no hits on my password
were shown
reran that test as sudo, and terminal hung
Tested 12 Jan 2007
