When I was beating my head against the wall for over 2 months when I first set up this system the amount of information available or offered to me was close enough to zero so as to make it a moot point for open source support. In the years since I've found that most coder types really don't get into screen real estate - - - - in fact some serious programmers were still using 19" monitors (within the last year) where I had moved to a 1600x1200 crt some 20 years ago. Horses for courses except I've far too often found my screen real estate far too confining when I'm working on something complicated. All of what I've found only reinforces the point that what I'm doing is w a y out there! > FWIW, reportbug is *NOT* monitoring your system.

So even with a complete listing of all of what you have - - - - the actual problem still isn't visible. I spent a few hours reading through files in /var/log/ and haven't been able to find anything. Which is why I was asking for assistance in where to ask. (The assumption seems to be that I don't have any idea - - - - and maybe I don't . . . . .)
