Hi again Israel,

After I installed the full hardware enablement stack and rebooted, there
was at least one big problem, pcmanfm stopped working :-(

I started from scratch again (and again installed the full hardware
enablement stack). It works now, also pcmanfm works now.

Maybe I was doing something in an awkward way last time. Anyway, now I
changed lsb-release to the standard for Ubuntu before starting to
update/upgrade and installing the hardware enablement stack.

There are proven issues and strongly suspected issues. I think we should
not bother to debug everything possible in order to use the modified
lsb-release file. Please reset it, and go back to the old dltbl
(remember to make it executable).


Best regards
Nio
