First 17.10 RC ISO spin now ready. Please help test

[valoriez]

Hello folks, the first Release Candidate ISO is ready. Please help us by testing as much as you have time for. Remember, in particular we need i386 testers, on "bare metal" rather than VMs if possible.

Kubuntu Desktop amd64 - http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...8983/testcases

Kubuntu Desktop i386 - http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...8984/testcases

The story on the website: https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-art...now-available/

Please spread that on whatever social media you use. Take note of the Ubuntu Community ISO testing party on Monday: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/ubunt...so-testing/458

All the best,

Valorie, for the Release Management team

Just to pile on here, there have been a couple of re-spins. If you previously downloaded ISO images, please zsync to download the changes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage

Right now we have 4 of the 6 mandatory tests covered for amd64 and only half the mandatory cases for i386. In addition, new testcases have been added for upgrades from previous versions. At this point we have perhaps 12 hours before the Release team needs to mark the images as Ready before we can do a release of Kubuntu 17.10.

Please report all bugs and link them to your test report: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...nes/383/builds

All the best,

Valorie
