[ubuntu-uk] update manager

2011-11-24 Thread Norman Silverstone
I am just trying to find my way around 11.10 and have noticed that there appears to be an option missing, the option to have updates downloaded in the background. Thus, when I respond to the cue that there are updates available I have to wait for them to be downloaded before they can be installed.

Not sure what happened (or what I've done!) but I don't seem to have sound any more. I'm convinced it's a software issue as if I boot from a live CD the sound works OK. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling alsa pulse in synaptic to no avail + various terminal commands (doing similar

I sometimes get get no sound in Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) after an update. I normally delete the .pulse folder, log out then in and all's good. Maybe rename your .pulse folder (if there is one) to see if it works? If not, rename it back. Good luck! Quoting George Tripp

This sort of think occurred fairly often a few versions ago. My general test was to run alsamixer - check if anything was muted. If not the run 'killall pulseaudio' restart any audio apps then test. If that worked, pulseaudio needs reconfiguring or removing Only other things I would do is a

It may have been a deliberate change. For example if a background upgrade was being applied to pulseaudio and firefox, for the duration of the upgrade to that app you would be unable to use it at all - firefox goes haywire part way through an update Is there anything in the release notes about

Hello, I recently had to sit through a 2hrs workshop on how to use windows office 2010 and outlook 2010. Frankly most of it was a waste of time and could have said: just like thunderbird or openoffice 3 years ago get up and leave. But I did learn some tricks that will probably come in handy.
