Current Issues

Issues with Breezy Badger

* Headphone jack does not mute internal speakers

* Latest SMP kernel breaks keyboard

* SMP Kernel boots into X and then just before GDM loads it hangs with mouse perpetually doing "hourglass" spin thing -purpleidea

* Intermittent heat-related issues -- not properly understood

* gnome-terminal and xterms not closing properly -- become uninterruptible

Issues with Dapper Drake

* Headphone jack does not mute internal speakers

* (and "jack sense" options aren't available in sound mixer)

* sound quality is not what it's supposed to be. often "crackles" --purpleidea

This is really beginning to drive me nuts. I have to listen to my co-workers! --TennesseeLeeuwenburg2

Issues now fixed in Dapper Drake

* Hard disk spins down far too soon/often, no obvious control mechanism (i.e. in "power settings" or "disks" -- don't know where else to look)

This the spin-down on AC power, on Battery, on both. It is reproducible if you start from a clean reboot? -PaulSladen AC Power, haven't checked with battery. Happens 100% of the time, reboots do not affect. --TennesseeLeeuwenburg2 The problem just ... went away one update. --TennesseeLeeuwenburg2

* SMP Kernel seems to work now in Flight4. --purpleidea.
