Been a long night but have done much of the rest of the tests.
Haven't been able to test with DVD/CD medias, only bare metal USB.
Whisperback worked fine.
Language selection and admin password bug seems to be gone.
# Memory erasure feature seems broken compared to a 0.12:
- in 0.12, I was able to see smem's output after the kernel is loaded,
when installed both manually or using the usb creator, with or without
persistence.
- in 0.12.1-rc1, none of them seems to work, in any way I installed the system.
Haven't tested using the long process, but as the machine simply shutdown a
very few seconds after the "loading kernel" message, in place of displaying
smem's output, it doesn't seem so much functionnal.
Memlockd and udev-adm are started and seems to care about the right
device.
In 0.12, there is a "live-boot: caching reboot files" message right before
that the memory erasure feature starts and display its message. It isn't
displayed in the 0.12.1-rc1, and I suspect it is responsible for the bug
but have no clue why.
# /var/log/gdm3/:0-slave.log
Ends after Network manager message with multiple lines saying:
/etc/gdm3/PostLogin/Default: line 48: [: eq: binary operator expected
# Remaining tests:
* MAT should be able to clean a PDF file.
* Running `getTorbuttonUserAgent` should produce the useragent set by the
Torbutton version installed and used in Iceweasel.
* Boot and check basic functionality is working for every supported
language.
- The chosen keyboard layout must be applied.
- The virtual keyboard must work and be auto-configured to
use the same keyboard layout as the X session.
- The iceweasel search engine must be localized (for languages we
ship a localized searchplugin for).
* Doing an apt-get update and installing random packages.

Shutdown process is started, but no smem output. Fast shutdown after the last
"loading kernel" message.
