No I am dead serious. I am not able to submit fixes because I don't know how to do the coding. I submitted a bug which wasn't properly dealt with. If a new user can't get the thing working easily from scratch the "Linux is geekware" gets thrown around. This bug is so easy to fix as it is just a dependency problem. So why hasn't it been fixed. The last thing I want is to complain and complain, but this has been going on for months now for no apparent reason. linux users seem to me to be keen on the open source aspect and a good deal of them want to see distros become accessible to the person in the street. If the bug fixing is slapdash then ......... The support for semi literates such as me is exemplary, but the linux experience isn't straight forward and it should be. -- mudlark SB3>CyrusDACX>PreXvs>ESPAudio P09B Active filter>NAP140+260A>Rhapsody, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Karmic Koala servers, various boxes for storage.
