Comment 96 for bug 581925

Now that a fix has been released for Lucid, please consider issuing a release for those of us still using Karmic. This bug was first reported over a year ago. That is the amount of time that I have been soldiering on with a crippled system. I hope you can understand that, for a beginner, upgrading from a crippled OS seems to be just an opportunity to exchange one set of problems for another. Karmic is supposedly still supprted, but the amount of time that has elapsed since this problem was reported has caused me to mistrust the level of commitment to that support -- or for that matter, to the support of subsequent releases. I've got to have a stable, fully functional system before I can consider an upgrade.
