The packaging presentation this morning really got me excited about getting involved in that area of Ubuntu so I put a few things together in order to try and keep me on this road.
I took a lot of notes and have a lot of links for reference and study.
I’m putting together a schedule to [...]
I worked on 5 bugs today. A few of them were new bugs that I found in Hardy, a few of them were follow-ups with previous bugs that I’d worked on or submitted. I think the 5-A-Day is a great program, and I’m glad to see so many people have jumped on board. I’m [...]
I installed Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy” Alpha 4 a day or two ago and I finally got some time to poke around with some of the new features. The new features that are of the most interest to me are the security related features such as firewalling, SELinux, etc.
note: SELinux will not be default in [...]
Welcome to Hardy Heron Alpha-4, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.04.
Pre-releases of Hardy are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
Alpha 4 [...]
For those of you that want to help make Ubuntu the best it can be I would encourage you to help us test the latest alpha release, codename “Tribe 4″. I have been running since Tribe 2 on one of my machines and it has been surprisingly stable. There have been some bugs, [...]
As many of you know I have recently upgraded to the alpha of Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy” and, for the most part, things have been running just fine. However, last nite, I tried to port some things from Thunderbird to Evolution and somehow lost all the contents of my Inbox. I have searched thru my archives [...]
I’ve got a quick update tonite concerning coming into day 2 of using Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy”. A few things that I’ve found so far…
I recently checked out the AllPeers extension for Firefox. It’s apparently broken in Gutsy. I’m sure it might be made to work, but the best I could do was launch Firefox in [...]
Attending Ubuntu Live this last week really inspired me to take a look at my community contributions and see what I can improve on. One of the areas that I would like to improve on is bug testing and development contributions. The first way I want to do this is testing and reporting for Ubuntu [...]
Welcome to Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 3, which will in time become Ubuntu 7.10.
Pre-releases of Gutsy are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, or even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and [...]
Recently I started playing with virtualization on my new machine, mainly so that I could do more testing for Ubuntu. With the release of Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy” Tribe 1 (first alpha release) I was excited to get going and get testing. Well, unfortunately I was quickly disappointed in that a bug in the [...]
