Hello ACM-prestator,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Ubuntu. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, run the following (only once):

and upload the updated logs and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
