Comment 114 for bug 185311

Hi! I see I'm a little late. Anyways, I also installed the following packages from Bryce's site:

libx11-6_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_amd64.deb
libx11-data_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_all.deb
libx11-xcb1_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_amd64.deb

And now everything works fine again!
I strongly agree with Aleksander Demko. I don't want to blame anybody at all, but I just wanted to state that this bug is on the simple user, who just installed the system from CD to use it for work or whatever (maybe even with the user who originally installed the system). These users are simply not interested on the systems insides, they just want to have a stable and fast system to work with. I'm a computer scientist myself and nevertheless it is pain in the ass for me to hunt such bugs during work time, because I have a lot of other things to do. So my own productiveness depends on the reliability of my Ubuntu powered system. So bugs like these can make me sad. I just want to warn that fast development on systems which were already modified from the standard installation can cause bugs which are bad for Ubuntu's image and also for the image of Linux and OpenSource in general.

Cheers,
