This is not an issue anymore for me since I upgraded to Jaunty, but it has been an issue until the last day I had been using Intrepid. Now I haven't Intrepid anymore on any of my computers, so I don't know if it is still a issue for it.
As a side note (e.g. "rant") Intrepid support will end in 8 months, and since this bug received some attention after 6 months from the first reporting, I guess any energy in its resolution would be wasted anyway. As another side note (e.g. "rant 2 the revenge"), for a desktop system this bug is quite important (I refer to the "low" importance assigned to it), because if you disable a sound there could be a good reason behind that choice besides your personal taste. FYI, I moved to Jaunty in the hope of seeing this bug magically disappear (and it disappeared), but I gained other problems with the move (and let alone bug #280657...). From my p.o.v. bugs should not have any importance that differentiates them, because if you dare to take the time to report a bug, that alone means that bug is important, otherwise no one would have reported it. I think that all bugs are at least "normal" bugs, then there are "security" related bugs and bugs that "cause data loss" (more important) and maybe others, but below normal bugs there should be no distinction between what makes a particular package unusable or what renders a whole system noisy and less "sleeping baby nearby" friendly: in my case this bug rendered the whole system unusable in some situations (I couldn't turn it on). I know, it's volunteer work, little time, few developers, I could contribute more, Vista is way worse, and so on. I'm not upset with anyone, I just like saying what I think in hope someone takes my thoughts as hints for the future. -- gnome does not honor the "Disabled" setting in sound preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331429 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
