given up on 9.10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having been an Ubuntu user for several years I like to try to keep up to
date. I normally try an alpha version of a new release with an older version
as backup.
I've tried 9.10 several times, each time the pulse sound system fails to
work. In desperation I went back to 9.04 and then 8.04 to try to solve the
sound problem, only to find that when they updated they also got a faulty
pulse sound system.
Having tried all the solutions on the web I finally gave up and decided to
remove one of my Ubuntu systems, big mistake! Messing with partitioning is
fraught with dangers you don't realise. Having removed one version of Ubuntu
I checked the other 9.10 and XP, both worked until I rebooted, I then got
error 17 on the grub bootloader.
Failing to fix this I looked to see what drives I had in the computer. There
was a third drive not connected, so I disconected my windowsXP and Ubuntu
drives and connected the third HD. Lo and behold a failed version of Windows
7, I was asked if I wanted to run in safe mode, I did and now I have a legal
version of Windows 7 running.
I've always prefered Linux to Microsoft, but can't understand a release
where something as basic as the sound system doesn't work.
I still have my Suse 11.1 live disk which works , but sadly I don't see any
resolution to the pulse sound system on Ubuntu. I've read all the other
messages from other users with the same problem, surely this should be dealt
with.
