By using these testing images, you're '''morally obligated to test them''' and to edit this page and report -every single bug you find-, no matter if they're theme flaws, quirks, bugs or crashes. You can optionally also use [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugzilla] , use version 0.15.

IF YOU SEE ANY MISSING TRANSLATIONS, PLEASE REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

'''Please send the bug report urls to mer-chatter (see [[Mer/Awareness]] ) as well and share your bugs, testing experiences.'''

Test master is Meizirkki, and can be found in #mer on irc.freenode.net usually and you can ask him if there's some specialized areas that need testing. Take [http://guest:guest@trac.tspre.org:9010 the "Completed" things first]. If you are testing, go to #mer anyway. Good place to be.

These images will not be the only ones this week. In N8x0 installer, when it asks for URL=, write URL=http://the.image.intended. Instructions on [[Mer/Documentation/Installation]] still apply.

== Bugs in 0.16testing5 ==
* No settings application in menu->Settings item.

== Bugs in 0.16testing3 ==

Insert bugs here.

* [Nokia n810] conflict between libphonon4 and libqt4-phonon packages which is preventing installation of kdepim:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libphonon4_4%3a4.3.1-0ubuntu3_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libphonon.so.4', which is also in package libqt4-phonon

* [Nokia n810] dpad left and dpad down do not have auto key repeat. dpad up and dpad right as well as other keys do.

* [Nokia n810] GtkTreeView row dragging not working. This worked in 0.15.

* [Nokia n810] can't install maemopad due to missing libhildonhelp0

* [Nokia n810] screen calibration menu item does nothing

* [Nokia n810] app manager crashes:
** on first start after pressing "Check for updates" button
** after installing finefm from available applications menu
** everytime it tries to list available applications after that - this seems to be a timing-related problem. If I try to access the Available applications button immediately on startup, it crashes. If I wait 30 seconds, it works.

* [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''

* [Nokia n810] onscreen keyboard always pops up during text entry even though built-in hardware keyboard is being used

* [Nokia n810] display rotation did very bad things. ''Stskeeps: Did you install Mer kernel with rotation support?''. No, just clicked rotation icon in brightness app shortly after first-boot-wizard finished.

* [Nokia n810] python "import gtk" generated lots of Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". ''Stskeeps: sadly fairly normal. Only a warning.''

* [Nokia n810] xterm menus messed up. ''Stskeeps: We are waiting with new osso-xterm because the newer one was broken - it is actually not a matter of translations. Has to be past 0.16 :/''

* [Nokia n810 & SmartQ7] Unable to enter WPA password, dialog box is empty. 0.15 does not have this problem. ''Stskeeps: I suspect it's due to the movable dialogs problem. Someone revert the movable dialogs patch and see if it work?'' '' Meizirkki: no, the dialog is still empty after disabling movable dialogs and rebooting ''

* [Nokia n810] hildon-application-manager crashes. Output [[Mer/Releases/0.16testing/hildon-application-manager.launch-crash|here]].

* [SmartQ7] After installation, on-screen keyboard is completely white and has no key symbols (Working for me on Q7 /Gnuet) (Works for me --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]])

* [SmartQ7] USB Networking wont start automatically on boot- needed 'sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15 up' to get it going- also, if 'up' missed, ifconfig will segfault! --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]. ''Stskeeps: /etc/network/interfaces show it as being set up. That's weird.'' (Extra info: Device is actually pingable for about 15 seconds, then at some point during bootup it loses the IP setting --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]). ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''

* [N800] Power button do no work
* [N800] Installing gpesummary crashes the desktop, same after reboot (unusable), message is like "cant open /home/<user>/.gpedo" --[[User:Eichi|Eichi]]
* [770] starting bluetooth manager kills MER / MRP

== Bugs in 0.16testing2 ==

Please test bugs in http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Releases/0.15 and see if they still persist. Otherwise add them below:

* [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''
* [Nokia n800] Could not pass first-boot-wizard "Type your full name" (don´t have a usb keyboard to test with it/screen keyboard do not appear with stylus or with finger) ''Stskeeps: maemo-launcher wasn't being run, expected fix in testing3'' "marshel: fixed in testing3"
* [SmartQ7] As above, could not pass "Type your full name". No soft keyboard and usb keyboard did not work. ''as above''
** This can be worked around by using [[Mer/Documentation/USB_Networking|USB networking]] and installing [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Maemo://Mer://Devel/Ubuntu_9.04/armel/first-boot-wizard_0.8_armel.deb first-boot-wizard_0.8_armel.deb] then doing a reboot
* [SmartQ5 & Q7] Wifi-enabler not working, lacking unzip. The file 47smartq-firmware misplaced and in DOS-format. ''Stskeeps: expected fix in testing4''
** Workaround: Copy contents of /etc/47smartq-firmware and make new file: /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware
** Don't forget to make read/executable (chmod a+rx /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware) ''Stskeeps: not needed''
** Install [http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19674308/unzip_5.52-12ubuntu1_armel.deb unzip_5.52-12ubuntu1_armel.deb], reboot and presto - wizard runs. ''Stskeeps: Expected in testing4''
* [SmartQ5 & Q7] Application manager doesn't work. Starts but nothing more. ''
** Try plugging in the bluetooth dongle... spooky... (the log shows : get btadapter: No such adapter)

PS.: at 3pm@GMT the trac above cited is offline. ''Stskeeps: yeah, power cut in my city'.
