There was a big error made when Intrepid was released. It is certain the sound part is flawed. I am not good enough to figure out what has died. When I loaded Intrepid it was wonderful. But after a few re-boots the sound disappeared never to return. I have done some bad things trying to get it working, following leads that lead no-where. Others have told me they do not use Intrepid just because of this problem. On my cheap-laptop I will not use Intrepid, and may try another type of Linux. Karl</blockquote><div> I have the same problem with my Gateway laptop. Fortunately its a dual boot so if I must have sound I can crossover to windoze. My wireless worked at first, but at some point during the updates it no longer works and I can't even find how to set the parameters for the wireless. This has been an ongoing issue with Ubuntu and wireless for me. Again, if I need wireless I just go over to the darkside. I just submit a bug report and hope one of these updates will fix it. I don't have time to waste trying to fix something that is over my pay grade. Also, not worth the stress. Bob </div></div>
