Go to System Settings > Sound and adjust settings, test speakers. --- Both Thunderbird and Firefox work as expected now. This bug report deals with applications locking up on the Ubuntu desktop. It is obvious this was due to sound difficulties. However, even though the Original Poster's problems have been solved, is there still a bug in the Ubuntu desk top? That is, is it still a bug that the Thunderbird and Firefox applications locked up when Ubuntu's sound was compromised? -thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022390 Title: Apps lock on default Ubuntu desktop.
