After upgrading my Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 laptop to Ubuntu 7.04 “Feisty Fawn” my sound card stopped working. The only mixer options available are related to the built in 56k dial up modem.
My A100 uses an ATI SB450 soundcard, which worked out of the box in 6.06, 6.10, and the early beta stages of 7.04. From what I can see, this problem is related to the release kernel not detecting the sound card model correctly.
This is bound to turn into an Internet cult favorite, I introduce to you, Batman: Defenders of the Night.
I originally spotted this on BoingBoing. My favorite parts, the fight scenes, and the end credits.
Enjoy.
Hugh at Digital Home has his list of HD channels available in Canada up. its current up to April 2007, and its worth a look if you are looking at switching from Cable to Satellite or otherwise.
The main reason for the update to the list appears to be the addition of HDNet to StarChoice and Shaw Cable’s lineup. (not too surprising, StarChoice is owned by Shaw). Bell has had HD for a while now, and they still appear to be the HD leader in Canada.
I’m not expecting to see many new HD channels this year, Bell is expected to focus on upgrading to MPEG-4, adding additional bandwidth for HD channels, as they try to stay ahead of the Cable, and IPTV providers.
