You’re never supposed to enable the proposed repository and wholesale upgrade. That’s a surefire way to break the entire system. The proposed repository is not meant to be upgraded from.
The process is that you can add that repository, upgrade a specific package you’re trying to test via sudo apt install {package} , disable the proposed repository, and test.
When we are testing Ubuntu, we have very
detailed and specific instructions on what and
how to perform the testing.
Test Cases
I often try the ISO, having various ISOs installed in different partitions I wanted to take a risk by enabling the proposed.
trying the latest ISOs I saw that the ‘Applications’ installation screen ‘What app would you…’ in the extended selection says: … browser and games. But games are no longer installed!
Should I open a bug?
Agreed.
Which is fine if that’s what you really want to do and can deal with any adverse results.
Enabling -proposed during the development cycle won’t really give you an installation that Ubuntu’s
developers will want testing.
You obviously know this but for less experienced testers I feel I need to make this point.
I installed the Ubuntu Desktop PPA as from Desktop Team Integration Squad Updates – Monday 11th March 2024 and system does not starts. I have all the log and the crash file, can they be useful? as?
Technically PPAs (and snaps) were not part of an Ubuntu installation but their use by various Ubuntu teams now makes that somewhat unclear, e.g. firefox, libreoffice, chromium-browser, etc.
Of the updates you refer to @jbicha says:
but he doesn’t say by who or where any adverse reports should be made.
Maybe contact Ubuntu Desktop in Launchpad for clarification?
Two quick questions about filing bugs in the right places:
Thanks everyone! 
Installation is working great for me. I have tested a desktop autoinstall configuration with encryption and the system seems stable. No issues with installation.
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
version: 1

- keyboard
- network

ssh:
install-server: true
authorized-keys: []
allow-pw: true

packages:

late-commands:
- rsync -vr /cdrom/custom/scripts /target/tmp/
- curtin in-target -- /tmp/scripts/my_script.sh
I did however encounter a bug with the first-time setup prompt after logging in. If I choose to ‘send system info to Canonical’ I get an error message every time.
Looks like an outage on the other end in the Canonical infrastructure.

Hello you all,
where can I report the issue about the impossibility to try Ubuntu in another language than English?
I installed it in a VM (Libvirt KVM) yesterday OK. The installer issue seems to have been fixed. You only have the option of the full install though.
This is correct. There is no minimal install option for Ubuntu Studio at this time. I’m in talks with the desktop team to make it so that install option selection can be skipped altogether. In the future we hope to create a minimal install option, but we just ran out of time before Feature Freeze this release.
Hello again,
where do I report the bug about the installer and the languages?
best regards
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+filebug
However, the languages issue is 1) work-in-progress, and 2) already a known and filed bug, so if you file a bug for the reason you stated, it’ll be marked as a duplicate.
What’s the criteria for the package versions included?
I just took a look and it appears that the OpenCV library version included (after apt update) is 4.6.0, which is 2.5 years old. After that there have been 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 (OK this one is too recent). I got a bit disappointed. Is there some issue or compatibility problem?
Hi,
When will the time 64 transition completed so we can try all the updates (GS and so on)?
Big thanks to everyone who pitched in on the Ubuntu 24.04 testing week! Whether you were deep-diving into test cases, hunting bugs on Launchpad and Github, or just spreading the word, your efforts were key to polishing the upcoming Ubuntu release. You’ve all shown what our community is capable of when we come together. I’m especially happy there has been lots of discussion here. Cheers to you all!
Special thanks goes to the top testers for this release. I want to specifically call out @leok who blew it out of the park with 849 results. This is absolutely amazing, and helps Ubuntu 24.04 be as stable as it can be!

Thank you for the kind words - but to be fair my Noble Testing results date from 01 November 23 until present day (not just the testing week).
Please can you post the number of results for each tester?

Hello, I have a few problems. 1. At startup the error logsize 0 appears.
2. Sometimes the keyboard on my laptop in tablet mode gets stuck.
3. I lack the “insert” button for the touch screen keyboard, it is very inconvenient to use the terminal in tablet mode.
