Okay, the chown'in only worked until reboot.Apparently something is fixing the permissions at reboot. Apparmor maybe?

As it turns out, apparently some people were thinking exactly what I was.

KDE Activities are different than virtual workspaces

I think I'll give KDE another go just because of this.

Sudo'ing fails because you need to

Sorry, I think there was something going on with the forums, so I don't think the multiple postings was your fault. My apologies for laying down the hammer.

Sorry about the multiple responses. There seems to be something lagging in the forums.

For starters, don't blow up the forums with redundant posts. Wait and I'm sure someone will help you.

You won't notice much of a difference. There is a difference, but like I said, it's not very noticeable.

That being said, however, some vendors only support 32 bit architectures. So sometimes...

Well its doing the same thing in Windows, so I'm pretty sure this is hardware related.

Although it boots, the mouse and keyboard randomly stop responding. This is getting highly annoying.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Weird. I ran memtest. It passed so I stopped it. Now the linux partition is booting as expected.

Weirdest thing, everything was working fine earlier, but now my linux partition won't boot. I've tried booting a livecd and it won't boot either. The recovery partition tries to boot but hangs at...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm out of ideas presently. Good luck pal. I'm working on trouble shooting my own at the minute. I have an audio chip that isn't properly supported yet in the alsa package that is in the repos. So I...

And you're sure that they're not muted?

Is this a laptop or desktop?

If a laptop, make sure that the headphone jack is not working too.

Have you checked all of your volume levels?

try this from the command line:


alsamixer

Then you can see the levels for all of your devices. That's the first place to look.

Obalix, not enough caffeine. Ignore my previous reply. I'm sorry this isn't your solution. Like I said, its not working for everyone. Good luck.

Well, let me start by saying, if you're having a problem where the brightness applet changes, but the actual brightness doesn't change, the above solution may not even solve your problem, as I've...
