in Sound Muted After Restart in Ubuntu (Gnome) Fix on Web Upd8
Thanks! I should have known. Not only it works, but I can hear that login sound which I missed a lot!

I have read the whole topic at launchpad. Unfortunately, it is too much asking of me to try all of what is suggested to correct the problem, and all the more it is not sure that one of these will be successfull. I only hope the bug will be corrected in Karmic. Until then, I'll apply the solution proposed here.

Yes it is executable...

Andrew OK so I got home and checked it and it works for me putting the command in /etc/rc.local

But if it doesn't work for you, again: put in in startup and it should work.
Andrew I only made the change last night, I'll try it again tonight when I'll get home. If it doesn't work in rc.local, it must definitely work in startup!

Me again. Seems that rc.local with the command "alsactl restore" added is NOT executed when I (re)boot.
I still can manually restore my sound state with "sudo alsactl restore", even if it gives me a warning (same thing with "alsactl store"):
"E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/gilbert not ours."

Andrew Maybe you didn't make the file executable?

I would also suggest to use the lean and quick Opera browser, available for all platforms.

Andrew Opera is a great browser but unfortunately it's not as customizable as Firefox...

in John Noone » Comandante on John-Noone
Si jamais tu cherches ce livre, tu ne le trouveras pas au Québec. Lanctot ne l'avait plus à son catalogue dès septembre 2005. Impossible de savoir pourquoi un livre à peine paru et recensé dans Le Devoir cet été-là a disparu de la circulation.
Reste que je l'ai trouvé et commandé, un an plus tard, sur voltaire.net.
