OK:

• I'll get the 32-bit ISO ready.
• I experimented with hybrid ISOs and my tests were successful. I'd like this release to feature this (basically it allows for the ISO to be dumped straight to a USB stick without using Unetbootin or Startup Disk Creator)
• I'll check the installer for that kernel issue and to make sure it doesn't perform updates. That's the only potential blocker for the RC release.

Rejecting this ISO for now and preparing new ones. Thanks guys.

Wes: 3.0.0-12 is installed in the ISO. I'll check to see if Ubiquity performs updates (it definitely shouldn't in regards to Mint QA).

Ok i will be unable to test this release so someone else will have to test the intel chipset.

Sorry for absence as of late, being a truck driver in the U.S. really isn't condusive to iso testing, been home a total of about 8 days in the last 3-4 months. But, I'm downloading this now, and will try to get the testing done today, will get it completed by the end of the weekend at the latest.

I will attempt to test this whilst on holidays. Looks like a great release as always.

More on Test #021

Of course I'd expect problems since the new driver and xserver were corn-fused. But trying to restart was fun because all the menu items seemed to exist where they should be when selecting a diametrically opposed location. For example the restart selection in the KDE menu launched Firefox.  

#021 test

Jokey crashed on log out. 

Logged back in, installed additional drivers, and re-tested. Note I didn't reboot the machine. Logout worked fine. Logged back in and had an interesting desktop. Everything was up-side-down. Good for those times that you just have to work while standing on your head. :-)

Test #019 results differ as described below:

Note: default location for audio Cd ripping is not in home/music; it rips to Home by default. Yes it is a nit and I'm sure there are just as many who would say don't choose the default for me.

I don't know if this is a known issue or KDE change to the menu, but when selecting Applications --> System there isn't an arror on the LHS to move back to Applications from System. One can select Applications from the list at the top of the menu panel however. I don't use KDE much. :-) 

Clem, The images were:

3.0.0-12

3.0.0-14

We're using a new compression algorithm (to fit more content in less space.. :)) so that might explain the time it took. KDE also, isn't easy on the resources :)

I'll check for the kernels.. which kernel versions do you have in your grub then?

Just one note about the install on the test rig with two disks and multiple partitions - i.e. a manual install. The installation went well but seemed to take longer - even for this desktop computer.

After the reboot I noticed that grub2 listed Linux Mint 12 KDE with two different kernel versions. So it seems this KDE has a built in kernel update feature.    

Happy testing everyone.
