So I installed Hardy Heron not too long after it came out. Since then, I've installed it twice more, each time with similar problems. I was wondering, if I describe them as best I can, if anyone can help me with the problems I'm having? Thanks in advance.
The sound appears to conflict in certain ways. If, for example, I'm playing something on Youtube, then close the Youtube tab and open up Exaile / Rhythmbox / Amarok / etc. the program will open correctly but the music files will not play. I'll click on play, but they just won't do anything.
Sometimes opening up a video in Totem will crash my system. My mouse will work fine, but I can't click on anything and the graphics have frozen. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE-ing won't work, and I have to hard-reboot.
Exaile has been screwing up on me. I installed it fine, it worked nicely, then I shut down my computer and opened it back up. When I opened Exaile, it gave me the message "Loading library from database..." and just stops there. I can click around, etc. but I can't play any music. I can play things one file at a time, and the playlists tab won't show anything.
Ubuntu's not mounting my Windows partition at boot, which it used to do.
I had a problem with Pidgin (haven't tested this problem since the latest install) where I set it in my Sessions to load on boot, and when it did it completely took over my CPU. It was using, like, 96% of my CPU and had the state "Uninterruptible". Also, while this was happening, I don't think it worked properly.
Firefox 3 Beta 5 crashes every now and again when I try to open too many tabs at once (not sure if that's still being worked on, but I thought I'd throw it in.)
Firefox will sometimes not play sound (e.g., when watching Youtube).
In my first two attempts at installing, when I played music then tried to open a video file in Totem, the sound in Totem wouldn't play and the video would go really slow (choppy-like). This happened even if I stopped the music and wouldn't stop happening until I shut down the music program and restarted Totem.
If anyone's had these or similar problems, please let me know how/if you got around them. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix these, I'm very appreciative of it. Thanks again!
