Don't you have the Intel HDA sound like I do? If you do, you have to increase 
volume in Kubuntu by clicking on the speaker, then click Mixer, and to 
control your volume, use the PCM slider. You can set the PCM to be the master 
channel so the main volume slider works. Do this by right clicking on the 
speaker and selecting "Select Master Channel".

It is his fault they were overwritten, so he should be P.O'ed at himself. When 
the config files have updates, it asks you to overwrite them or use your own, 
and the default setting is to use your own and not overwrite. He selected 'N' 
which meant he over wrote them. Tisk Tisk! I have done this on multiple 
occasions by not paying attention.

I have been running Gutsy since the day we had a complete tool chain, so that 
was what, May? This was the first development cycle where an updated didn't 
totally kill my system. I had one scare with my server, but that again was my 
fault, and after rolling back all of Perl, I was able to do a proper update 
and get it up and running again. 30 minutes of downtime. Feisty had an update 
that took me down for 2 days. And Edgy, well that was a waste of time in my 
eyes.

Jeff, see ya Sunday!
