Re: [newbie] Sound issue
My e-mail program is Thunderbird and, with Mdk 10, the system bell does not ring when a new message arrives. I have already checked Thunderbird configuration and everything seems OK. I have meanwhile found the solution to my own problem: modprobe pcspkr solves the problem. Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Depends on the type of problem, and where you have reported it. If it is a genuine *bug* in the system, and it has been reported to Anthill (http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com/login.php) then it should (eventually!) be fixed. If a bug has only been "reported" on the mailing lists, it is unlikely that it will be fixed - I don't think any Mandrakesoft staff monitor the list, so they won't know the problem exists. On the other hand, if the "problem" is with the user not fully understanding how the system works, the list is the best place to go for help - the staff can only "fix" the software, not the users! Margot, Thanks for your reply. I have just installed Mdk 10 and, regarding the sound, there is only a minor problem, which I shall describe in what follows. My e-mail program is Thunderbird and, with Mdk 10, the system bell does not ring when a new message arrives. I have already checked Thunderbird configuration and everything seems OK. Any ideas?

Depending on what you have for hardware, sound may be problematic. I'm staying with 9.2 (and 9.1) until I can install with more confidence than I have now. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
