Hey Ian. Nevermind. After looking at the patch file, I realized what I needed to do and I can report that my m6700 from 9 years ago (what a journey) can finally make use of the mic on my Bluetooth headset. Cheers, Anthony. For anyone looking for the same instructions as I was, I used the

Hi Ian. I've had my m6700 since 2012 and have never been able to use any Bluetooth headset. Any chance you can provide pointers on what incantations one needs to call upon to get this fixed like you've done on your laptop? Cheers, Anthony. -- You received this bug notification because you are

I'm also going to add to this. I have just done a clean install of 16.04 LTS and OpenVPN connects intermittently. Despite installing openvpn, network-manager-openvpn, and network-manager-openvpn-gnome, the "Configure VPN..." option remains grayed out. In addition, after creating my VPN profile

In comparison, when attempting to lunch a VitualBox VM, it fails with a slightly better error message at least directing one to investigate what else would be using a hypervisor. But it also suggests some rather drastic steps to do with recompiling the kernel to remove KVM kernel extension - wow:

This begs 2 questions from my end: 1. How does the removal of such a critical VPN component get past QA? 2. How is it that the very vulnerable PPTP VPN is still readily available while a more secure option gets tossed to the gutter? Can anyone at Canonical please answer these questions? --

Being that I'm still having this issue on Ubuntu 15.10, I can only conclude that this appears to be a design philosophy at Canonical rather than a bug. Logical volumes that are not necessary for system boot and/or are not on the primary disk where the OS is installed are not made available /
