TBH, I can't imagine that that's the problem because it was a completely fresh install, w/ formatting all partitions etc., but one never knows so I will of course try it, thx!

I just installed Kubuntu 13.04 normally from a DVD. Then, using Synaptics Package Manager, I installed geany and its plugins, which I have been using for years now). However, now when I start geany...

Yes:

Hi

This is related to my previous question, in fact repeating one part of it. On Kubuntu 12.04, when I go to System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon > Audi Hardware Setup, I can change the settings...

Well, I thought those are installed because

- Phonon recognizes the sound card and, more importantly,

- did what you said and installed the VLC backend
- also chose the X-Fi Titanium series as the audio device in VLC

Update: I now seem to have reliable audio in Amarok and videos in VLC (when the master channel is set to "X-Fi Titanium series [EMU20k2] Analog Stereo", but I don't get sound in Firefox, no videos,...

Thanks for that advice. I do need the whole 1.4 tho, but I am the king of backups, I have everything important in at least three locations so if the disk really were to die, so be it ;-)

Thanks so much :-), downloading it now ...

Ok, so both scripts that are out there don't help and jsut now it got really nasty: Upon pressing on the on-button again to resume, the laptop went off and then wouldn't go on anymore unless I take...

What happens is that the hard drive, wifi, and bluetooth light come back on (with the hard drive light flashing/indicating activity). The screen comes on again but is all black with no mouse pointer...

Here's the info, hope it helps!. Thanks for looking into this! :-)
