I have tried the bug again now, with the USB devices (as before I installed Kubuntu), it now works fine. Where it used to get locked up I now get a system beep (which even works when I disconnect my speakers! wohooo!).
In other words, the bug seems to be due to something lacking in the base install which is in the desktop-package. Does this lead anywhere? P.S. The system beep, does it use my internal speakers or something else? Anyway I could finally make my internal speakers work using this? -- [Hardy base system] System locks up on system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223153 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
