crtlbreak, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dimension-c521/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.1.11). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: - Good Day Launchpad bug reports, - I have been having a "i2c-4: >sendbytes: NAK bailout." error occurring on a Dell workstation - As per Christopher Penalver's request here >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1015165 - I have now submitted this report with all attachments. - --- + I have been having a "i2c-4: >sendbytes: NAK bailout." error occurring + on a Dell workstation. + + --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
