I've done a bug report, but I didn't noticed that it had to do with the primary and secondary situation, the coders also didn't noticed that, but another user does. This was for a stable Suse release and because of this, I wish to have a forum for RC versions, in this case for Suse, where users can share information and do better bug reports. It was similar here on the list. Because of troubles I upgraded 64 Studio 2.1 to Lenny and while there were less people using the list, some people did not want requests about Lenny.
