the sound problem can be solved by adding your login to the audio group : sudo adduser your_login audio
I didn't havfe the issue by installing ubuntu from the install DVD, but as soon as I install some updates, I'm affected as well (I reinstalled my computer several times to clarify the symptons) I think it has something to do with permissions, both the audio & the shutdown problem. Another symptom I see, is that all options are grayed out in "System - Administration - Login Screen". -- Unable to shutdown and restart, logs out instead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
