Kamal, Based on all of the previous comments, I am certain this issue has been fixed. Unfortunately, I can't verify the fix myself right now. I had to switch back to Windows temporarily because I had too many problems with Ubuntu and the XPS 13 is my primary computer. I will re-install Ubutntu at some future time once I know that all of the issues I encountered have been addressed. Thanks again for fixing this one.
