To test / install fix... a bit involved this. I can't work out how to get launchpad to make a kernel package for my PPA, so had to do it manually. The source package linked to this isn't actually the full kernel sources, which you need to build.
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2010/11/06/how-to-compile-a-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-kernel/ You need the git tree for the kernel you want, currently that's git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-natty.git The server isn't all that fast ; I found it faster to clone the "Linus" tree from kernel .org git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git cd linux-2.6 And then do git remote add natty git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-natty.git get fetch natty git checkout -b fix-ad1988b-mic natty/master Apply the patch attached to bug ticket patch sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c /path/to/patch_analog.c.diff , edit the debian.master/changelog file as described in http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2011/01/10/how-to-update-the-version-of-your-custom-ubuntu-10-10-kernel/ ... to add a .1 to the end of the version number. Commit the changes to your git clone git add debian.master/changelog sound/pci/hda/patch_analog.c git commit -m "Fixed AD1988B mic input bug" .. and then build as described in the "compilation" section of article linked above ("How to compile an Ubuntu 10.10 kernel") Make a cup of tea. And savour it. This takes AAAGES. You should end up with some deb files in the folder above the sources, with your new version number. Install the header packages, and the linux-image. cd .. dpkg -i linux-headers*.deb linux-image*.deb ... and reboot. If I work out how to get Soyuz to build me a kernel image in my PPA.... you could just download it from that :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776964 Title: p5n32e-plus HDA Nvidia AD1988B microphone input not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
