Whether or not this is a hw-detect thingie, I do not know... I don't know enough about the internals of the Kernel, or how things are updated to fully know one way or the other... I just think it is related, since I (and many others) have had similar issues with PPC. It is a 'hunch' or a guess.... So it looks like you are missing some important modules (from what I understand of PPC). In fact your iMac may even need to use snd-powermac rather than aoa (since yours is 01)...
You might first try sudo modprobe snd-powermac (there might be another module you need for the soundbus... I just can't remember off the top of my head right now... sorry) and sudo rmmod snd-aoa-i2sbus sudo rmmod snd-aoa-soundbus rmmod removes kernel modules from the running system... it doesn't make a permanent change. If snd-powermac works (i.e. you can open alsamixer) then you can make that one permanent. If not, then, you may need to try modprobing the ones I listed in the other e-mail. However... yours will probably need a different codec. In my e-mail I used snd-aoa-codec-tas but you may need snd-aoa-codec-onyx or snd-aoa-codec-toonie. I don't know enough about this stuff to tell you for certain which one will work. The information about this stuff was quite hard to find... and I didn't memorize which models needed which codecs... I just remember the different codec names :) The great thing about GNU/Linux is that there is always a way to fix the problem. > From: Israel <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Lu 12.04 "Network Manager is not working"??
