Precise 12.04.4 images need testing

[kansasnoob]

This is for those who just love to test

The 12.04.4 images are now available for testing:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...nes/311/builds

These images include the Saucy Hardware Enablement Stack as well as a couple of 'ubiquity' bug fixes.

So, if you're inclined, please test and report

I used /current/ instead of /20140204/.

Anyways .. I have a few new convert/noobs and they are just amazed by some of the precise Unity2D features and I have been able to encourage some of these to try the testing branch.

Just upgraded an existing copy of Precise. I used Update Manager and it failed lol

I then went to terminal and sudo upgraded there . Al went well.

I still have 12.04.0, but with updates not distribution update. So still 3.2-xx kernels.
But it says I have 12.04.4.

I have notice that for several weeks all the BootInfo reports show 12.04.4 for all 12.04 versions.

fred@A105-Precise:~$ uname -a

So to really know what version a user is running you have to see which kernel it still has.

Ahhh .. yes .. I'll check that now.

I used synaptic to install the latest kernel and it was strange because it downloaded two sets of kernels. One mentioning somthing about generic-lts-quantal.

So this is still not it ?

perhaps I'll run the live image that kansasnoob is refering to.
