Question #107349 on DOLFIN changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/dolfin/+question/107349

    Status: Answered => Open

bluejerry is still having a problem:
Thanks that looks better.

I assume this is to be set in the 'krylov_solver' submenu? If so it is not
in the parameter options (KeyError) in my last bzr pull (today)

Unless there is something I am missing.
