Getting started

[Matthew Garrett]

Hi!

So, we're rapidly heading towards the preview release and Breezy is 
rapidly getting beaten into shape. So now's the time to make sure that 
we get it adequately tested.

For those of you who've received laptops from Canonical and haven't yet 
added yourself to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - get over 
there now! Ideally we want an installation of Hoary and a report using 
the template at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Template . 
Once that's done, please do an install with the latest Breezy daily 
(several laptop-related bugs have been fixed since Colony 3) and fill in 
the Breezy column.

Now, here's the important bit. When something doesn't work, FILE A BUG! 
Looking through the reports filed so far, there are several things that 
are supposed to work and don't. If a machine doesn't reboot or power 
down with the latest Breezy release, please file a bug! If switching to 
an external display doesn't work, please file a bug!

The only real exception to this right now is infra-red. If that doesn't 
work, please don't file a bug. I'm looking into making this work out of 
the box, but at the moment it's not going to. We may have this finished 
in time for Breezy, but it might not happen.

So, to summarise - please get the latest Breezy 
(http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/) on there and let us know 
what's working and what isn't. If we can get answers now, we can fix 
stuff up in time for Breezy.

Thanks, and have fun!
