You sent a mail to a loco team list complaining that 3 things we broken with your upgrade. Your mail was sent in reply to another mail, mid way through a thread. The visibility by skilled people who can help you solve this issue is therefore minimal. So the chances that someone might respond will be low. However now we are talking about it I am sure someone will reply. The answer tracker I pointed you to is a support system on Launchpad. It is part of the Ubuntu infrastructure. There are a number of people who subscribe to the answer tracker and receive all the support requests that come in. They spend their time answering exactly the kinds of questions you posed. > Perhaps I should have added to the first paragraph in my > original post that I have been reporting bugs and making, what I hope > were useful comments, for more 2 1/2 years.

I was merely trying to direct you to a support system that might help you resolve them. Of course I would like to help.
