But seriously, sound was a bit of a hack in Intrepid with KDE4. I would, from time to time, have to kill pulseaudio and start it to get sound working again. At the moment, things are looking good with Jaunty but I rather give Nexenta or rather StormOS a shot and compile KDE there than upgrade to Karmic at the moment. ------------------------------ </blockquote> </div> I would like to briefly say that I decided to submit a blog like entry to shake things up a little. Obviously I had sound issues and a couple minor bugs, but I thought that a blog format would be a bit more entertaining than a simple list of problems. Also I thought it might be a good conversation starter. I'll refrain from being so different, however, I am a Linux user and as such how could I be expected to "color inside the lines"? 1.) What do I do if I accidentally delete a piece of hardware from hardware profile? Isnt there like a 'modprob' or like a 'probdd' command that looks for hardware? 2.) I've tried to use that kdesudo command so that I could open root files in Dolphin and edit them in Kate, but it dosent seem to work- any ideas? 3.) Dose anyone think KDE will ever replace GNOME as the defacto DE for Ubuntu? Christopher Chan- thanks for the tip, ill go check out those two flavors :) -- I am David and I approve this message
