Thanks Sebastian, AFAIK this is a problem with the update because I haven't done anything specific regarding sound.
Why would I want the jaunty version when I'm using Intrepid? On synaptic I only have intrepid repositories present and it shows libavcodec51 as returned above both for the 'installed' and for the 'latest' version. ~ $ dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.5-1 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii libavcodec51 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 ffmpeg codec library ii libavformat52 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 ffmpeg file format library ii libavutil49 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 ffmpeg utility library ii libpostproc51 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 ffmpeg video postprocessing library - These are also the correct versions to have according to synaptic. It looks like we're getting close but how do I resolve the issue? -- Unable to start the settings manager gnome-settings-daemon after updating Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
