Yes. That's an example of something that I've always seen since desktop Linux came along. The bug or fault is discovered and fixed and then when the next version of Ubuntu or Debian or Fedora comes along it's put back in again. Can't understand why the developers do that. Must be something to do with manpower and number of monkeys working on the wire ? I don't like to complain if I get a desktop that mostly works :) I would try and suggest Linux Mint or Trisquel but you'll probably be better of staying with Ubuntu. -- Richard -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
