Yesterday, after running boot-info, I looked and ran boot-repair. I got to where to install the bootloader, and picked sda. This didn't work.

After seeing your post, I went back and did...

I see this near the end:

I have Xubuntu installed with sda configured in LVM setup. Previously, I have used older, standard partitioning with a root, /boot, and swap all on separate sda1,2,3. I have always seemed to have...

Yup, that did it for me, too!

Just want to clarify the path in dconf-editor a bit more. It is:
org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings

Good find!

I was able to duplicate your problem by running the ubuntu-greeter. What you listed to fix it would work for that session, but logging out and in has not.

I am going to look into this a bit more...

Do you use Firefox for playing? Does your sound work if you boot and just try to play music or a sound outside of a browser (such as using mplayer)?

If so, try opening a terminal and starting...

I had this happen when I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.4. The music in Runescape would sound, but not the normal game sounds (combat, spells, bank PIN, etc).

It is working on mine after doing two...

I am using Fluxbox, so can't navigate the KDE or Gnome menus.

If you are using the headphones, you might want to go to your output tab and make sure you select your headphones. It is in a drop-down select box. I'll attach a screenshot.

Well, the Intel chipset is supported. Do you have it muted? Does it work if booting the Ubuntu CD as a "liveCD"?

Accessing it via smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't mounting it.

Jad, you didn't type the command in properly.

Here's a neat little Linux trick.

Ok. Fedora sets up their accounts a little differently. They don't put /sbin/ in the path for the default user, so you may need to specify the system binary directory, since "fdisk" is a system...

To be honest, I can't think of how any command would tell you if something was working right.

I don't have any clues on this, but if you open a terminal, and type in the following:

Can you post the output of the following command?

It will list the supported resolutions and frequencies that X has determined your card can handle.

The CD you have works as an install CD, and it can work as a "Live CD", which boots into Linux without writing to your hard drive.

So you already have your LiveCD. No, it does not use your hard...

Wrong.

If you install with wubi, then Ubuntu will be a little filespace on your Windows drive.

Or you can do a traditional partitioning, in which case, Linux will be on a separately-created partition...
