Thanks Oli, it took me a week and a lot of head scratching. The last
reply I got to my question about this on launchpad was something like
'so, what do you want us to do?'. I just marked it solved and moved on.

Now the next issue is why does my Amazon Fire tablet write a whole lot
of information to syslog every 15 minutes when it's plugged into the
USB port? It didn't do it in 14.04LTS nor does my Samsung phone do it
when it's plugged in. But that's for another post.
