Kubuntu 18.04 First RC images available for testing

[acheron]

See for links and info on testing.

https://kubuntu.org/news/bionic-18-0...y-for-testing/

Currently these are guaranteed to have a least one re-spin, but to quote the mailing lists:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...il/004438.html

Over the next couple of hours, builds for Bionic Final should be added
to the tracker[1] for all flavours. The builds have some intentional
omissions, but please do test them anyway.

Known issues that will be addressed Sunday/Monday:
- Volume label still set to Beta
- base-files still not the final version
- kernel will have (at least) one more revision

Despite the above, please, please, please test your images. Do not
wait for a "final" build to test, as that guarantees your final build
will be broken. We need you testing now, iterating uploads to get
your bugs fixed, filing bugs and escalating where you need help.

Again: DO NOT DELAY, TEST NOW, FIX BUGS, FILE BUGS, ESCALATE FOR HELP.

Happy testing everyone, and here's hoping we push out another smooth
and stress-free release on Thursday.

Fresh RC spins to test for all flavours!

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...il/062770.html

Hello folks, some bugs are fixed although more are still in train, so
we could (and probably will) see Yet Another Spin.

But this is what we have right now, so if you have a bit of time, please test!

And of course a special call-out to those who have actual i386
computers to test on. Please note somewhere in your test description
that you are testing on hardware, what sort, or only in VMs.

Thanks!

There is a change chance this could be the final spin, so please don't hold off testing if you have the time and bandwidth for iso downloads. Plus of course, testing now can help squash more bugs if they are found.
