Comment 1 for bug 315641

This should be fixed from the upgrades. Could you upgrade and confirm on
your system too? On my experimental VMs it works nice.
You have to understand that even if the iso had some bugs (and we had a
previous alpha and beta but those bugs weren't, unfortunately, discovered by
anyone) they have now been fixed from the upgrades. Of course when you
posted the problem, I'm sure you were not able of upgrading because of the
previous issue, sorry.

The iso is out there and I cannot post a new 8.04 iso, so, even if there are
a number of unsolved bug in the release version, an upgrade is the logical
way to fix that all. Greetings,

Luca D.M.
