Thank you, but I'm not installing anything from other repositories or
packages not in the repositories, I'm keeping my installation of Ubuntu
to what the Ubuntu devs put in the default repositories, because I want
to make sure this is fixed without having to go through hoops.

I'm hoping an update comes in on its own soon to fix all these issues.
