Problem/Bug: HDMI video output from pc to Samsung Syncmaster P2250 via HDMI/DVI adaptor cable no longer works after Ubuntu's Software Updater updated my system from linux-image 3.8.0.30.44 to 3.8.0.31.46. I get an initial purple screen, without the Ubuntu logo, then absolutely nothing. Had to revert to old style analogue connection to make my system useable. --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: study 1937 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: study 1937 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
