The situation is getting curiouser and curiouser. Early this morning I installed another large batch of updates. After the installation the headphones were working and the alsamixer column was no longer greyed out.
But then I rebooted and disaster struck in the form of a hangup at the "Checking battery state" message. After much net searching and thrashing about, I managed to log into gdm but not kdm, despite the fact that kdm was installed. That's where I am now. At this point the sound sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and the headphone column is sometimes greyed out and sometimes not. I have yet to discern a pattern. It does seem that the latest updates solved the headphone problem temporarily, so I suppose that's progress. -- Headphone jack not working in Asus K60I https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669224 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
