[Bug 438318] Re: [karmic] no sound on toshiba nb205

Hi !

Am i the only one to think that this never ending bug is wrong ?
The fix is well known since a long time. Even before lucid was released we already knew how to fix that bug.

And it's still not working if you don't patch modprobe.d manually...
Maybe the bug is not important, maybe it's the bug correction procedure that is defective :/
I don't really know what the SRU is so i won't insist more. But bugs that can be fixed by ading one single line in a conf file shoudn't be that long to fix.

Anyway concerning the actual fix #89:
When you want to sudo a graphical app like gedit it's better to use "gksudo" which is exactly made for this purpose:

"gksu  is  a  frontend  to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.  Their
primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the
need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly."

so it's more :

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

i know it works perfectly with sudo but it's better to use the correct
tool anyway :)
