I had the same problem with Karmic UNR on an EEE 901 pc. Neither the internal microphone nor the plug on the side were working. Walkaround was installing the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and rebooting. Then installing the pavumeter application.

[Bug 398687] Re: Gnome shutdown dialog timeout cannot be adjusted
I was going to set it to 0 seconds, actually. There's just no reason for me to have the confirmation box at all. I'm used to hitting shutdown and then walking away from the computer and let it do its thing. It's also annoying on my laptops because I hit shutdown and then close the lid before the dialog appears, because it takes a couple seconds to show up. And sometimes it goes into suspend instead because it hasn't started the shutdown process when the lid closes. Most frustrating of all, however, is that I have problems with some ubuntu virtual machines running in Virtualbox that sometimes seize up and refuse to accept keyboard or mouse inputs. I can still send it the shutdown signal through Virtualbox' interface, but then I have to sit and stare at the dialog counting down for a whole minute before the VM can be restarted.

[Bug 398687] [NEW] Gnome shutdown dialog timeout cannot be adjusted
Public bug reported: With the new gnome comes the 'system will shutdown in 60 seconds' nag dialog, which I'm sure is wonderful for laptop users who accidentally press the button, but it's annoying otherwise. I have searched for a way to turn it off, or set the timeout to a much lower value. Something like 2-3 seconds would be bearable, but I can't find any option to do this. There's nothing in the gnome power manager, I can't find any mention of it in gconf either. I've looked through forums of other people asking for this, someone said they even looked through the source code of the shutdown dialog, but couldn't figure out how it works because it's just a widget-like thing (?) There should be a way to change the timeout value.

@Cody Russell I'm not exactly sure how my comment is not as useful as the others just because I have an opposing opinion. I'm not saying I'm not used to the renaming functionality, I'm saying it's unbelievably stupid UI design and at the very least I would like a Nautilus preference option to turn this off. This is a prime example of one of the early windows UI bugs that have been forced down people's throats for so many years that they've gotten used to it. If you want hard data on this, try to actually count the number of times per day on windows/mac when Explorer puts you into rename mode and this isn't what you wanted. It happens so often that you don't even notice anymore. And distinguishing between icon and label is not a good solution because that makes the selection area too small to be useful (especially in list and compact view) and you always end up clicking on the label the second time anyway because this is big and easy to click and better symbolizes the file you're trying to manipulate. -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 61237] Re: Drag 'n Drop in list view doesn't work
I second this bug, this has been a source of endless annoyance for years! I don't like to use the words Windows and Usability in the same sentence, but they've actually solved this user interface idiocy very easily by the DnD selecting the folder you're in (not any of the subfolders) when you move the mouse to a column different from the name one, i.e. every other column (type, date, permission, owner, group, etc.) is treated as whitespace for DnD. This makes sense because you're no longer pointing directly at a directory where you want to drop the files. The error Nautilus makes is to assume that there is an invisible row all the way across the interface. Which means that when your DnD is pointing at for instance the 'type' column, Nautilus is still going to drop your files in the folder that the row corresponds to. -- Drag 'n Drop in list view doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT IMPLEMENT THIS! This was a stupid idea in Windows and it'll be a stupid idea in Ubuntu. When I click a file, 99.999% of times it's because I want to select it. Not rename it. And the moment the UI is just slightly unresponsive, or when I have selected the file and then realize I want to drag and drop it so I click it again, or a million other situations where I accidentally click the file twice, the rename idiocy is going to be activated instead. I think renaming a file is to be regarded as more intrusive an action than selecting it and it's good to have to right-click or press F2 to show that renaming it is actually what you want to do. -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 372461] Re: Jaunty Remix should be available as .iso file
I whole heartedly agree. Using an .img file is madness! I realize the target for the distro is USB sticks, but why is it a problem to use an .iso file for this? I've had to help several people figure out how to burn UNR to a CD because they couldn't figure out how to put an .img file on a USB stick and I don't blame them. Let me summarize my recent experience in trying to get UNR on my laptop: * The default USB writing app in Ubuntu (administration-create a USB startup disk) does NOT support .img files. * The default CD writing app Brasero does NOT support .img files. * The help page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles) recommends something called ImageWriter, I don't know where to find this thing and I shouldn't have to. * More importantly, the suggested Windows app (Win32 Disk Imager) is a pre-alpha POS that fails with error 8 (no further info) on every computer I've tried. The alternative is a Windows commandline tool from Russia with no discernible connection to Ubuntu, the instructions are in Russian, and some forums warn that it'll corrupt the images. Alternatively, I've just tested six other netbook distros (Puppy Linux, Easy Peasy, Xubuntu, Cruncheee, Debian EEE, eeebuntu) on a USB stick without any issues at all using Unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) which is cross-platform and just works. In my experience there is no solid cross-platform GUI tool available that makes it easy to handle .img files.

I can confirm this bug. I've been running Ubuntu on my L20 ever since Feisty Fawn and updated every release since then and suspend has never worked. It still doesn't work in Jaunty now.

The laptop suspends to RAM and the power light flashes slowly it is should, but the laptop never awakens again.

When I opened the document again in XGL, it did not crash and everything worked fine. I tried opening and closing it several times, rebooting, logging out and back into the session, I can't make it crash again. Something about the Web Layout view seems to kill the graphics driver.
