Here are the bugs I've found in the latest beta image as of Feb. 03.

Major issues:

  • Suspend and hibernate (most importantly, the default suspend action when closing the laptop lid) do not work correctly. This is likely dependent on ATI Radeon graphics card. Who else can duplicate this bug?
  • No boot splash (probably dependant on my ATI radeon card)
  • Logging out/switching users crashes x.org and does not work (probably dependant on my ATI radeon card).
  • Multimedia player in Preferred Applications is set to 'rhythmbox' instead of 'totem'

    Minor issues:

  • software-properties-gtk (Software Sources) is installed but missing from the Main Menu.
  • The default GDM session is called "Ubuntu Desktop Edition". It should be "GNOME".
  • Evolution includes a .py scipt called "Ubuntu" that contains the simple signature "Sent from Ubuntu". We should either remove this or replace it with our own .py script called "Trisquel", containing the signature "Sent from Trisquel GNU/Linux".
  • "Install Trisquel 4.5" application is missing the slides
  • Startup disk creator icon needs to be rebranded; use this icon to replace it: http://download.paulk.fr/trisquel/usb-creator-gtk.svg
  • DuckDuckGo is not in the browser's list of search engines
  • No file backup app (I suggest Déjà Dup)
  • Pidgin IRC points to the ubuntu's network (irc.ubuntu.com); needs to be irc.freenode.net
  • gloobus-preview, qdvdauthor, unknown horizons and handbrake should be added to the repos, as enough money has already been pledged for these crowd-funded tasks

    The icon for the startup disk cretor . - solved with the last actualizations.

    gloobus-preview doesn't work properly on 4.5 maybe we need to ponder his inclusion

    Does gloobus-preview rely on Compiz to work?

    Overall, GREAT work! I feel that a release is coming very soon.

    I'm not sure we could ever fix this... I'm asking the ATI developers
    about how to overcome this issue.

    On it.

    Mostly done.

    It does include it, but I tuned it to make it appear in the admin menu,
    and to drop amazon as default backend. I've just compiled a new pair of
    isos, I removed Audacious.

    Sure, but it is not linked to the release. I'm writing a script set to
    automate external application inclusion, to avoid manually pushing
    the packages at future releases. It will also compile the packages, to
    make sure they play along with our own packages.

    Thanks! I see it coming soon too.

    Evolution also has an email about the Ubuntu One cloud service in the inbox, (see attached), as well as the standard Evolution welcome email. Maybe that should be deleted.

    Attachments not showing??

    Yeah, that email is unnecessary and should be removed from our distro.

    I've no bugs to report with this beta so far, only improvements:

    * Boot-up and shutdown are faster.
    * During shutdown there are now no terminal output messages, previously there were messages about killing processes, etc....
    * Update Manager is quicker, works faster and looks better, downloading updates at about 241kbps now.
    * Web browsing with Web Browser seems faster, pages load more quickly.

    I'm glad Gwibber was added, though I won't need it myself.

    I do miss the mail notification icon at the bottom-right. I found it quite useful, and I don't think I am the only one.
