Well, I can finally say I've had breakage in an Ubuntu upgrade!
The surprising part is, this is also the first time I waited until the release was, well, released. I almost always upgrade 1 to 2 months before the release is official. This time I waited.
Now I'm having a few issues. Only a few, but fairly major ones considering this computer is used for music and videos.
First off, Xine claims it can't connect to the sound server. I'm assuming that's a PuleAudio issue. Wouldn't be a problem except that Xine is the only app I have configured to work with my Lirc remote so far.
Anyway, Rhythmbox doesn't work either, it claims that it doesn't have the CODECs to play anything. Doesn't matter what it is, ogg, mp3, flac, none of my music is playable anymore. It tries to search for a CODEC to fix the issue, but doesn't find any. I have all of the gstreamer0.10- packages installed (except the -dev and -dbg ones) so I can't see what it's going on about.
The Totem Movie Player doesn't work at all either. It says it "can't locate the resource" when I try to get it to play a video or audio file. Very odd.
The volume control thingy still works, and I know that it's not a kernel driver issue, as VLC works fine (with all my video and audio files).
I'm going to play with it for a while to see what I can find, if anyone has any advise, let me know. I'm going to try blasting away a bunch of dot directories and see what effect it has.
Anyway, on a positive note, Hardy seems much faster than the last few versions, and I really like the PolicyKit implementation and Firefox 3.
