Comment 3 for bug 215636

I upgraded from the alt-CD downloaded after the formal release of 8.04, and I get the same behaviour except that I cannot see the Report Problem information (see bug #157720) as hal-device-manager thinks I have an evil corrupted hacked bootleg Ubuntu (the exact wording is "not a genuine Ubuntu"

if this is true, then Ubuntu themselves are distributing it off their mirror sites (ok, it was the Canadian mirror, so it's not completely tamper-proof, but still seems very highly unlikely)
