    The launchpad bug reports don't give credit where due. Without a 
single update a re-boot stalled not able to turn off alsa sound device. 
Forcing a reboot causes all sound to be lost.

    After a total Update there is no change in sound. And the re-boot is 
still slow and trouble prone.

    I will say that Intrepid has been the worst Linux I have had to try 
an use. There is no one to complain to, but it is a shame that Hardy 
which runs great on my nVidia computer can not even LOAD on it! My 
laptop has known problems. I must have the new GTK video drivers that 
Intrepid has. With this good GTK I get great pictures on my Laptop which 
Intel Mobile4 video. But I have zero sound.

    There are a lot of different versions of Linux besides Ubuntu. I 
will do a google search to see if there is a model that might work on my 
laptop. In the meantime I will keep Intrepid updated and hope for a 
break through.
