The reason we are so upset is that we want to support Ubuntu and therefore we are surprised that Fiesty was issued with the development team knowing there was a difficulty. If there had been a clear warning e.g. : "Don't upgrade to Fiesty if you want to use a xsane or similar scanner" then we (your customers/clients) could have taken an informed decision and probably waited for the next issue. Now you have a lot of very miffed people who are complaining and probably a lot more who have not complained but just ditched Ubuntu as too much trouble to mess around with a fix that it shouldn't need. NB I am using Mandriva 2007 as it lets me use my scanner - It is not perfect but then we all know only MS is - until Gutsy appears of course regards Mervyn Mitchell Probably I am not using the right protocol for this site but then why should I bother when courtesy of proper information is missing?
