Roll back to 13.10? Test 14.04 on a VM?<br>
<br>

Hmm, I could, if by rollback you mean re-install and restore data. should have installed in a vm and attempted to passthrough the usb wireless card. Now that sounds interesting...<br>
<br>
Most likely, I will test on my Debian laptop and get it running there, and refresh my memory on how I got it to work on 13.10. Then revisit Ubuntu again on my desktop. I am at a loss to explain why that kernel module just "went away" when it was there in 14.04, was there for three days, a (rather) small update of (who knows what packages, I was not looking) was performed and it went away. I thought it died, but the new wireless of the same make does not register either. Strange.<br>

so, noticed my sound has been all distorted since I upgraded to<br>
14.04 the other day. Thought it was feedback through a skype<br>
connection (playing a game and talking to my brother, playing the<br>
same game). so today, played some music and sounds like the<br>
speakers were blown. OK confirmed problem with the sound system.<br>
<br>
swapped out speakers. Same issue. What? Ubuntu has crappy sound<br>
drivers or my sound chip on the MB is bad.<br>
<br>
Swapped out OS (rebooted into win). Played same game. Perfect<br>
sound. Dang. time for a sound card, no need to buy a new MB.<br>
<br>
well, maybe it IS crappy drivers, try an update. Yup, there was<br>
one. installed it, it modified linux headers in some way and a<br>
new boot image was generated.<br>
<br>
reboot. no wireless.<br>
<br>
no connection with wireless extension. Pluged in my spare, not<br>
seen. modprobe rt2870sa, no module found. Pluged in a different<br>
brand usb wireless adapter, modify WICD to say "wlan1" vs wlan0,<br>
refresh, BAM! wireless. bummer. I picked up a spare Valet for<br>
$12.99 just because it worked so well for Ubuntu 13.10. Uname<br>
says 3.11.0-19-generic<br>
<br>
Reminds me that Ubuntu is an old African word that means "can't<br>
configure Debian, and distrusts RedHat"<br>
<br>
Remind me again WHY I want to keep up with Ubuntu and don't run<br>
Debian or Fedora on my desktop (run Debian on my laptop in a kick<br>
but openstack that eats up 554MB of RAM while running htop,<br>
gkerllm, pretty desktop, cairo-dock, and firefox).<br>
<br>
anybody else run into issues with the Cisco Valet?<br>
<br>
When I feel like playing with it, I will take it over to my<br>
laptop, but since I also do this for a living, it has kinda lost<br>
it's shinny allure to troubleshoot a home issue. Now days, I just<br>
act more like the water than the rock. OHM, OHM.<br>
