Comment 16 for bug 382488

 Yes, it is still a problem/issue.
Do you mean Ubuntu 10.04 is already available.? Anyway, I haven't upgraded
after 9.04.
However, due to my busy schedule (and to avoid possible mess-ups that
occured with my
laptop when I upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04), I am not likely to upgrade the
system and do
the tests until the end of May 2010.
I will test and respond then. Hope that will not be too late.

thanks,
sridhar
