If you are on ubuntu hardy I feel your pain. It completely blows. Perhaps this will help, the result of many many painful hours combing the forums. It seems to do the trick for me, anyway. I programmed this as a bash shortcut so I wouldn't forget. I don't really know what the fix is when things crap out, I have just kind of tried things blindly. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968697.html (?) sudo alsa reload sudo alsa force-reload also: look for a dialog that pops up, possibly in task bar, if it asks if reload is ok, it is. beh. also related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/294859 also suggested: sudo killall pulseaudio sudo alsa force-reload also: rm /var/lib/alsa/asound.state (don't include the rm if googling for this post) sudo force alsa-reload http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:faaeSQtYS4cJ:pennsylvania.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php%3Fp%3D6242032+gvfs+alsa&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=pl

Is there a new trick for making these wide comments not screw up the page width? The last trick users suggested stopped working in FF4, apparently. What is the latest?

  I think this page has nice technique, although it's a bit different than what your old CSS was going for: http://users.tkk.fi/tkarvine/pre-wrap-css3-mozilla-opera-ie.html http://users.tkk.fi/tkarvine/pre-wrap-css3-mozilla-opera-ie.... P.S. -- disclosure: I work for Mozilla P.P.S. -- I kinda hate CSS

    The "toggle word wrap" FF add-on just sticks this into whatever page you're looking at, I think. Works great.

This is exactly the kind of maintenance issue that makes me occasionally hate using Ubuntu. Oh look! My flash player suddenly stopped working! I get to do six hours of forum combing and troubleshooting, whoppee!

  Yeah. Ubuntu marketing says, We make Linux Easy. And mostly this is true. But here, they opted for using the latest and greatest technology (pulse) rather than old and known to work everywhere (alsa) because of developer pressure, in a supposedly LTS version that huge numbers of people are going to use. I view this is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, ubuntu screwup.
