Sorry Randall,

but it is not acceptable to use a beta install cd/dvd one day after final of Ubuntu 12.10 is released.

The pulse problem you see above is known and AFAIK fixed for the final release.

I set this to incomplete.

When you can veryfy the same problem with the final installation system please set the status of the report back to new.

greetings

Idea: change apport to NOT recommend filing a bug, once a beta has been superseded.

Go ahead and close this one.
