Hello all, I gave up trying to fix the previous installation, and I had to reinstall feisty from scratch, this time taking notes of all passes. The good news is that now sound works well like before updating. Although I really have no idea of the reason it presented such a strange behavior, I am reporting here what I did for the sake of anyone should bump into this problem:
0. Install feisty from CD: kernel is 2.6.20.15.14 1. sudo apt-get install: 1.1 915resolution (reboot) 1.2 build-essential ncurses-dev gettext 1.3 linux-headers-`uname -r` 2. Alsa: 2.1 Find and untar version 1.0.14-rc4 2.2 Apply patch realtek6 2.3 sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop 2.4 cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4 2.5 ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel 2.6 make && make install 2.7 make install of alsa-lib and alsa-util as well 3. Reboot SOUND WORKS! 4. Update from 2.6.20.15.14 -> 2.6.20-16.28 5. Reboot 6. Repeated pass 2 for new kernel 7. alsamixer to regulate PCI volume SOUND WORKS! Many thanks to everyone for helping. roberto -- no sound with lenovo 3000 n100 0768FEG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107821 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
