Hi @anon42388993, I installed the 32 bit version cleanly, so far:
Google Chrome won't let me on to the " https://ubuntu-mate.community/ website:
Welcome won't subscribe correctly to updates!:
I had to manually delete the Welcome PPA to do further updates/installations of other apps/packages, maybe @lah7 can help with that?.
Flash player won't run in Firefox!.
Early days yet. Bye 4 now. 
Google Chrome won’t let me
Welcome won’t subscribe
I had to manually delete
And welcome to testing 
Yes, give it some time. Its getting better every day.

I just found another problem!. 
I have both English and German languages installed but cannot change the Regional formats locale to UK English with the language support app, it basically just does nothing after selecting English (United Kingdom)!:
Hi wolfman
The translations may not yet exists.
Give it some time, its very very new 
One thought. You mention chrome. If its your main browser and you want it now, then just load the xenial release.
About the welcome screen.
I think it will depend on when the PPAs are upgraded.
I tried moving back the welcome source to xenial. I was then able to update the welcome screen, but this still left the welcome screen unusable. Maybe I need to also show some patiences

To be honest with you @anon42388993; I can’t fathom out why so many things aren’t working in 16.04 let alone worry about what is/isn’t working in 16.10. 
I cannot update 16.04 using any method!, the same much applies to 16.10 but I haven’t really put much effort into that.
I don’t have anything else to report as I can’t update 16.04 or 16.10 so cannot really comment further on any improvements!.

I’ve yet to start my testing efforts; I have questions about timing and procedure.
- At what development stage do the developers require ‘other than developers [OTD]’ to test and produce feedback?
- Is there a formal process available with tasks to which OTD test and report detailed findings?
I ask because, IMO, data not requested, or organized might just be noise to developers.

Hi Peter,
it’s appropriate that Ubuntu Mate 16.10 is called Yakkety Yak if you are worried about noise levels!.

! ganz bestimmt !
I can’t remember the spelling of the word I wanted [bestimmtlish] possibly a colloquialism I picked up in Koln
Here in the new to testing department all you do is run it. Apport will generate any necessary reports for the developers.

Thank You.
For those folks who might want or need some structure or direction to testing here’s Ubuntu’s QA
[Mate is an available filter]
Erzähl keine Opern Peter!, I bet your English is far better than my German!.
There is always Google for that missing word you know!.
Back on topic, I haven't tried anything with 16.10 in the last two days as I have been busy, I am sure that it will sort itself out as I am getting updates for 16.04 now!.
Here is the current 16.10 bug list which I haven't read through btw!:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/+bugs
If anyone is interested, this is for 16.04 which has a lot more:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+bugs
EDIT:
I just ran updates on 16.10 and it is updating now! (I'm using the 32 bit version btw!).
well i would love to try and see if the new version runs on my Asus 1015e note book pc yes i know its a bit of a slightly old tech and i really am more used to this manner of tech… oh dear i am starting to sound like my dad… any ways if any recommendations as to which version i should down load to install on that miniature pc i be more than happy to contribute with opinions, suggestions and personal experiences based on the OS performance for user needs.
Hi Guldrin
The only version we test here is 16.10. Do you already have Mate installed on your Asus? What are your computer specs (ram, cpu, video)?
Hi @anon42388993,
it shoud work with 16.04 and 16.10 no problem:

Hi @Guldrin,
16.10 is a dev version only and is not recommended for daily use, install 16.04 and it should work!.
Hi wolfman
I also got some hits
Hi @anon42388993,
on some of those links you posted it came pre-installed with Ubuntu 12.04!, what I can read from the specs is that should work with 16.04?, your thoughts on that?.
Hi @Guldrin,
As your laptop came with Win 8 and I’m not sure if you are a beginner or not, please read the beginners guide and the part about UEFI for when you do any partitioning if you are a beginner!:

I don’t believe that Apport will report the one failure I’ve discoverd thus far … ubi-console-startup failed
I posted a screen capture here
two times for me and one for @Don_in_Vermont
No, I do not think so either. Which could require a launchpad bug report. If we are going to discuss such things like launchpad/bugzilla it should be done in a separate thread. I want to keep it simple in this thread for new users and I consider a bug report something for the more advance tester to pursue. Thank you
