Simply pointing me to the relevant documentation for enabling the kernel you mentioned would be a start. Start by installing the kernel for your given architecture. You can click the link for one of the debs, and Ubuntu will handle the rest for you, although I recommend that you save the deb instead of installing it immediately via gdebi. I recommend that you verify that the SHA256SUM is correct after downloading the deb. I have placed a GPG-signed SHA256SUM.asc file in that directory. Open a Terminal, and type: sha256sum filename where filename is the path to the linux-image...deb that you downloaded. Make sure the sums match. Once I get it up, what should I test? Should I just open different audio applications (Amarok, Skype, VLC) and try to play some files? Yes, please attempt to reproduce bug 330814 and/or bug 344057 using whatever normal usage patterns. Please remember that I am only interested in PulseAudio *stability* changes, not whether PulseAudio is inaudible, etc. -Dan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
