Hi, I installed the chromium snap and it's not able to open the locally installed winehq.org compatible Roblox! This is a super huge deal IMHO because having Roblox on Linux is very awesome for the Pipeline of Linux users(the Children) who love to play that game! Roblox.com (the great creative

Workaround in #19 working for me so far on Ubuntu 19.04. Have done a reboot test and a powerup test so far. Something I noticed earlier when the machine was stuck is that the machine was able to get to the point where I could ssh to it after the GUI hadn't started. The command below did bring

Thanks @Raymond!! So Earl, maybe we can try the suggestion from the bug there to get sound working: #Bootup normally, ensure sound works, then run these in the terminal and test the sound again: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel position_fix=1 If the above works, we can see

@Raymond - Thanks for the answers. Would you happen to know where we can get the 'hda-jack-sense-test' util for Saucy 13.10? David Henningsson's PPA at ppa:diwic/ppa, which formerly provided it, only seems to provide packages for Precise(12.04) and below. For example, the hdajackretask util has

Ok, I just thought of something.. For all those who want to get the values from 'hda-jack-sense-test' (there are many apparently), perhaps you can do this: Run the LiveCD of 12.04 on your computer, then add https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/ppa to it and run the 'hda-jack- sense-test' from

Um, woops... Please disregard my previous 2 comments. I must have been suffering from a lack of oxygen to my brain or something.. To get hda-jack-sense-test, we simply need to run these commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/hda (hit enter to run, authenticate, then hit enter to add) sudo
