Hardware Specific / No sound V2 install not even for the "user" account

« on: November 11, 2014, 09:55:52 PM »

We have some Gateway E4300 systems that we have put the current version (2.04 I believe) on and we have no sound.  It seems that it is a somewhat common problem that started with the 13.04 release of Ubuntu.  I have tried several "fixes" list in the Ubuntu forums to no avail.

Out of desperation I booted to a Linux Mint 17 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) to see if sound worked - and it did. 

When I check sound in Ubermix the output device is listed as dummy output.  It has an on board Intel sound card that shows to be an Intel 82801FB. If I open the alsamixer it normally comes up showing that sound is muted, but it is not the complete mixer listing. Removing the muted setting does not help. Currently I am unable to open the mixer at all.  Running cat /proc/asound/cards returns the message --- no soundcards ---

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I am stumped. - deniro55

Q&A / Error resizing base system partition

« on: May 14, 2013, 02:51:32 PM »

I have been trying to increase the base system partition following the instructions found on the Ubermix Customization page. After selecting the size that I would like the new partition to be I get the following errors and messages:
udev-work[381]: open /dev/null failed: No such file or directory
udev-work[382]: open /dev/null failed: No such file or directory
udev-work[383]: open /dev/null failed: No such file or directory
udev-work[384]: open /dev/null failed: No such file or directory

Base system partition resized. Press any key to continue
Key press takes me back to the options menu.  Pressed enter to exit. Pressed enter to exit. Pressed enter to reboot.
Booted system pressing ESC to be able to modify the "Default System"  opened a terminal and entered df -h
which shows that the partition size has not changed.
What am I doing wrong?  Sorry but I am lost at this point.
