Hi Axtel,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble, but this is not actually the list
to get help. This list is only for discussing bug triage work, and not
for reporting bugs themselves.

I hope you can find some answers using one of the options at
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community>.

Thanks,
David
