    UBUNTU NO GUI NO MORE ?

    While trying to sort a sound card problem I kinda removed gnome, as you do. :o

    into ye olde recovery and startx starts but mouse, like loads of failed attempts at linux in the past.
    so a little aptitude install ubuntu-desktop and have GUI again :)

    anyway to the cycle of
    apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base
    apt-get --purge remove alsa-base
    apt-get --purge remove alsa-utils


    have unticked ESD in System / Preferences / Sound
    still no default sound card :(

    Hmm where are you seeing the lack of a default sound card? Is there a /dev/audio ? I have had problems with AC97 before but never in ubuntu oddly enough.

    Bearing in mind ubuntu-desktop is a meta package
