Hello, Sorry for the slow response, but I upgraded to Ununtu 15;10 on the release day, and have been checking to see if the problem still exists om 15.10, unfortunately it still exists with 15.10
I am very new to Linux in general, (just in process of migrating from Windows 7 to Ubuntu), I am new to the forum and am not sure what you mean by filing a new report via a terminal. Looking at the forum, the reports seem to include a lot of device / system specific information What information needs to be included, and how do I f in it? Please, a bit of advice would be very helpful, as I am a complete newbie, :-[ On 22/10/15 02:54, Christopher M.
