Colin, thank you very much for trouble shooting and finally coming up with a fix for this long existing Ubuntu specific nuisance :-) Looks like while composing my last reply, overlapped with your investigative findings. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to the next release, which then I should be able to install Ubuntu for the very first time successfully here in my existing setup. :-) So again, a very big Thanks.
