No problem. Maybe I also have to apologize for my response directed at
you.

Thank you for creating that issue. I subscribed myself to it.

Fair enough. Unfortunately, some of the early reporters didn’t report
back.

Thank you for clearing that up, and thank you for doing this in your 
spare time. But, that’s not how it should be. When I bought this laptop, 
I thought a certain amount of that price goes to “Dell’s GNU/Linux team” 
and Canonical, so that people are paid to look into issues. I’d love to 
hear more about the relationship between Dell and Canonical, and what 
the support includes.

With Dell it’s hard enough to deal with their support, which always 
responds that they cannot really help, when GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) is used.

Thank you gain.
