Nikos, Does Ubuntu 8.10 otherwise work fine on your VAIO NS? For example, when you plug a headset into the headphone jack, are the speakers muted appropriately? Does X run normally, at full resolution? Thanks, jds -- integrated microfone does not work (sony vaio, hardy) https://bugs.launchpa

This is the sort of severe and *OBVIOUS* usability issue that just kills Linux in the consumer space. I just installed 10.04 on a test system, went to (what I thought was) delete the mail icon, lost the other icons including the volume control applet, which I want. I browsed the web to restore it

Does the closing of this bug mean that this won't be fixed until the next Ubuntu release? Note that at Apple this bug would be considered a total show-stopper. User can delete volume control icon and never get it back. -- Right click menu could confuse users, leading to accidental removal of pa

I can reliably reproduce this bug on a fresh, stock install of 12.04 with all updates done. Install, say, Medit. It appears in the taskbar. Unintall Medit, icon is still in the taskbar. It's amazing to me that such an *obvious* bug could make it into a final LTS release. It's the sort of easily

All, This is a horrible kernel bug that affects BayTrail systems. See here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 >From what I see there is still no solution. And little activity from Intel or kernel devs to fix it. Which is too bad: there are a *lot* of BayTrail systems out ther

I am also getting complete lockups, no mouse movement. Fresh install of 12.04 64-bit with all updates. Computer: HP DM1Z with AMD E-450 CPU and ATI graphics. I have to say, after challenges with 11.04 and 11.10 I thought surely that 12.04 LTS would be a good release for me. Alas. Back to the M

Andy's patched kernel worked like a charm on my EEE PC 1001px, on which I originally noticed the boot-time error message. On the netbook 10.10 was installed in its own partition, separate from the bootable partition of the system (which has 10.04 on it). Thanks Andy, terrific work. I was also on

I didn't use the patch command at all. I just installed the two header files and the kernel using 'dpkg -i ', then rebooted. Grub will show you the new kernel on the boot screen. jds On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 1:59 PM, lunix <642...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > > > > Once i figured out to install

Michael, Again, I'm totally sympathetic with what you're saying, but I don't believe this case is comparable to the experience you have in your organization. Here we don't have a minor bug that some bunch of free- loaders are whinging about. In fact, as far as my own usage is concerned, I could

Andrew, Thanks for your reply, and for keeping the (totally misplaced) discussion going :) I too for a long time held the position you have stated. My opinion has changed though. First observe that Macs also have a command-line interface (though one can get away with using it rarely) and that g

Michael, I hear you, but I read your reply as reproductive of the head-in-the- sand mentality that won't examine cases such as these as opportunities for improvement. I've been a regular user of Ubuntu for many years, and I've always felt the releases are rushed, whenever a "Final" comes out, sev
