bwat47 is correct. What's worse, is that this defect is FAR worse than this bug makes it out to be. This isn't JUST a problem where people's sound cards don't work; on systems where the nVidia binary driver is installed, this defect makes Ubuntu *unusable*: Unity fails to load due to the chain of events at play (broken HDMI driver -> unable to load nVidia video driver -> unable to load Nouveau, which is blacklisted by the installation of the nVidia binary driver -> unable to load Vesa, because it relies on the framebuffer driver, which is *also* blacklisted by Ubuntu's nVidia packages).
But none of that gets mentioned when they mark the higher-intensity defect reports as duplicates of this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169984 Title: 3.8.0-18 HDMI audio regression: Either oops or opening device fails with -ENODEV To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1169984/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
