Hallo,
i'm using another pc, a desktop one, running a dual boot, both mint rebecca 
CHINNAMON and ?MATE?. The old NB has a new HD with MS OS only, upgraded from XP 
to 7. Once in a while i also run a not persistent live pen drive with lubuntu, 
and external disks with Debian. Kubuntu, Ubuntu... with almost the last 
releases installed: pretty funny, but some new bugs still left on Ubuntu 
(15.04).
Sometime i receive some mails like yours: should i make any sort of change in 
my status about my bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341309 
since at the present moment i'm not involved in it anymore? Thank you.
pino
