Ubuntu Gnome daily images now available.

the ubiquity used in ubuntu-gnome don't like my box, I have tried several installs including a freshly d/l'd . iso and ubiquity always hangs at the second screen ( I tried moving the mouse as Stinger suggested but no luck) it isnt going to sleep just ubiquity hanging . I had the same problem with the reglar ubuntu early in raring but todays daily of that installed with no problem . I guess i'll just keep trying until they update the ubiquity in Ubuntu-gnome .

Sounds like this bug:

thanks kansasnoob , it was worth a look but i'm not even getting that far (partman) . For me it hangs as soon as I hit continue from the screen where it shows if ou are connected to the internet and asks if you want to d/l the updates while installing , I've tried various conbinations but all hang . next try I'll check the logs before I shut down , the live session works even when ubiquity is hung .

[ronacc]

update I tried another install and this time read the syslog after the hang , it reads similar to (not exactly) the same as some of those in the bug you referenced so it may be partman after all . either that or it may be trying to run wubi because it sees the windows install on the same box since it references that install in the syslog .

I ran the iso build script last weekend, so I really don't need the daily image right now, everything works as it should on my atom powered netbook, I even got to test what happens when I pull the plug, and then leave for a couple of hours, the system went into suspend, and recovered gracefully when I plugged the power cord back in.

The only problem I seem to have is that when running a second monitor, I can only successfully set the resolution to 1280X1024, but that may be more of a hardware limitation, than the intel graphics driver.

I plan on enabling the 3 ppas this weekend, as the last time I did it, my system went into a constant loop, using up all the ram, then restarting, and starting the cycle all over again.

I use the following script run from cron to keep all of my daily images up to date (I've just updated it to include Ubuntu Gnome as well).

I installed the daily image to the hard drive and when booting for first time after install completed i dont get any login screen. Just the blue gnome background and the mouse pointer.

Am i doing anything wrong?

[Stinger]

@ rsrocha
I'm getting exactly the same with the Gnome3 ppa enabled as I reported earlier

So unless a solution comes up, I'm waiting for the beta release.

Ubuntu GNOME images are now on the QA Tracker also:

The i386 images and testcases are here:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...0290/testcases

The amd64 images and testcases are here:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/m...0289/testcases

Edit: I was a bit premature with this announcement

Stéphane Graber is still working on getting the Ubuntu GNOME images synced from daily to the QA Tracker but we're very close

@ kansasnoob

Do you know if there will be any testing of upgrading using the gnome3 ppa ?

It would be quite relevant for those of us who would like a Gnome 3.8 installation IMO.

Cheers
