Lubuntu 19.10 Beta Release
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The 19.10 Beta release is slotted for September 26th.

I'd like this release to have the full battery of tests, as we would with a normal release. I'll recruit @kc2bez and @guiverc for starters, but of course, anyone is welcome (and everyone is encouraged!) to test.

I want to do just a minimal release announcement. Let's have a Lenny design decided on by then (I think we have two candidates last time I checked?) and the wallpaper uploaded so we can feature new shiny art. I think we should leave most of the rest to the main release announcement.

If you want your shiny new project in before the beta, please speak up as soon as possible. I'd like this release to be fairly painless and I'm sure that we can accomplish that.

Nice work testing, @guiverc. Here are the notable bugs:

Am I missing any other bugs?

Let's plow through these and get them addressed sooner rather than later, folks. :)

We should include as known issue ad how to solve the global keys update that need to be done manually when someone upgrades from 19.04. I guess @The_LoudSpeaker is the right man for writing this down

Sure. I can do that. by when it needs to be done? before beta release or before final release?

This task is for the Beta release, so before that.

no issues at all with 'rough draft', thought it looked very polished

(it'd read better if we edited the wallpaper competition winner's letter, but should or do we want to do that???)

I wasn't sure, I pasted it as-is.

A bug in Calamares has been reported by at least 2 individuals. @guiverc and I were unable to reproduce. I am in America, New York, quite possible the worst location for testing since it is the default. However Chris is not in the default zone and was able to get the proper one automatically. It would be appreciated if some other folks could test for this bug in other time zones.
