I realized I have a few threads floating around that no one is really answering. I thought we could make a centralized thread of common problems and solutions that most people are dealing with while operating hardy. I have to problems that are ruining my computer experience (both of which worked well under Gutsy).
Problem 1 is a simple problem. S-Video out to TV does not operate. In Gutsy you had to go through nvidia-settings and simply select twin view there and it worked. If you select and apply it in Hardy the computer thinks it is outputting the signal to the TV but in reality it does not. I can not fine a solution for this ( I have searched around for a while).
Problem 2 is a much more broad problem that I feel probably affects everyone. PulseAudio refused to output sound to more than one program at once. This is a problem because I play competitive counterstrike (through crossover of course) and can't run vent and cs1.6 with sound at the same time. I try and try and can not fix this problem. I have read numerous threads with people having the same problem. Can someone walk me through how to fix it? I feel that this makes hardy fail in comparison to Gutsy. I know pulse has a lot of advantages but you can not utilize them with this problem. Another problem is that you can not remove pulse and use AlSA without removing the whole ubuntu-desktop package. I propose that we either write a tutorial on how to fix pulseaudio or create a replacement ubunt-desktop package that is based on ALSA. This could than be replaced once the issues with pulse are resolved.
This thread can and should be used for other broad problems in Hardy. Make the issues general problems that everyone is dealing with so we can have a unified source on popular fixes (individual problems will make the thread too bloated).
Happy Helping!
