Hi Gordon,

I've had this same issue for many months and have come to the conclusion
that there is no expertise within Ubuntu or if there is then no one who
is prepared to fix it and get it out to the community.

I have reluctantly had to revert 42 machines back to Windows. Windows 10
now which is miles better than XP and until Ubuntu has a professional
organisation behind it.

I'm leaving Ubuntu 14.04 on this one unit just to see it this issue ever
gets fixed.

Its been suggested we give Fedora a go and ditch any ideas of ever using
Ubuntu.

If you have any experience (good or bad) of Fedora then please share.

Many thanks

Alan
