It also means not everything will work everyday. The nvidia graphics issue is a known issue. It has been reported as several bugs, it has been blogged about by developers. As for the audio issues, I can only say that for me, pulseaudio is a tremendous improvement. I can finally use my sound! It works on all my systems, and I can even get the music I listen to to play through it. No, it doesn't work for everyone, any more than anything else does. That is why we keep asking to have bugs filed. It is also why, when bugs are filed, specific information is asked for. Audio bugs and kernel bugs are both filed as new bugs for each user. Why? Because hardware is not the same. A bug for one system is not a bug for another system. Please file a new bug for each system that has audio issues. Thanks for letting us know you have issues with Lucid Beta. Thanks also for testing the beta version. -- Charlie Kravetz Xubuntu Quality Assurance and Testing Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
