Update breaks sound on Toshiba NB100 (Ubuntu NBR 8.04)
Posted: 27-Apr-2010 11:25

My netbook ran a batch of updates yesterday including a new kernel I think ( 2.6.24-27-lpia) and the result is no sound (everything else seems to be fine); it doesn't appear to be able to find any sound devices. Booting to the previous kernel ( 2.6.24-24-lpia ) appears to solve the problem, but of course, this isn't an ideal solution.

Is there a fix?

Thanks
John

You should think this cannot happen twice, but it has and I can confirm this. Will install easypeasy 1.6 if there is no fix for this problem. I am testing the beta installed on usb-memory and it works good.

Glad to hear it is not just me.

As a temporary fix I've changed the default kernel in GRUB's menu.lst. (I don't know enough about this to recommend it but it worked for me.)

I've noticed that Update Manager has a greyed out update that won't install, linux-image-lpia. Using Synaptic I see that the installed version is 2.6.24.24.26-0netbook1 and there should be a version 2.6.24.27.29-0netbook1, but when I try to install (using Synaptic) I get the error message

linux-image-lpia:
Depends: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-27-lpia but it is not installable

Any ideas for a better fix?

Thanks

My solution:
Yesterday I have installed easypeasy 1.6 (= Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 + codecs, flash, Skype, Picasa ...). Everything worked "out of the box". I only installed sun-java6 and ttf-mscorefonts-installer packages additionaly. Battery time not tested yet.

Pipe-symbol didn't work on my keyboard with Easypeasy 1.6. I have a german keyboard where the | -symbol is on the X-key.
Fix:
In file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de change line

key <AB02> { x, X, guillemotleft, U2039 };

to

key <AB02> { x, X, bar, U2039 };

Restart and AltGr+x (not Fn+x) is the |.

Not using a german keyboard? In Folder /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols you wil find the keyboard-file for your country. Search for the line according to your letter / |-symbol combination.
