Comment 11 for bug 272108

Jim,

Sadly the Ubuntu bug squashing team decides not to fix the issue. Which is hard to understanding since they do so many downstream changes anyways.

The best fix is to either move to openSUSE or Fedora, where both work just fine for me.

I've even attached the following patch:

That fixes the issue (I think that was made against early 2.6 versions).. It's just sad..
