Comment 13 for bug 64173

Fionn,

Thanks for the patch. I have it running on Edgy for now. I've run out of time to test it throughly tonight, but for the first fifteen minutes, I can definitely say it is working. :)

I want to post the more precise sets I used for the patch and upgrade process on Edgy, in case someone less technical also wants to try it out. Once I'm able to test it for longer, I'll provide morem feedback about how well the patch works on Edgy. Thanks again!
