someone has to be tough and take the hard road! You're good company Sam.<br>
I ran a couple of commands:<br>
/etc/init.d/dbus restart<br>
dpkg-reconfigure hal<br>
and the sound issue resolved and all the icons in the panel returned,
etc.<br>
On another note, I installed gnash 0.8.2 from the repos and it doesn't
do anything. I downloaded and built 0.8.3 and it starts and crashes. I
checked my plugins in firefox and it seems the only one that renders
flash is the swfdec plugin and it will even play youtube videos but
without sound.<br>
any ideas?<br>
Problem solving is fun, frustrating, maddening and completely
satisfying!<span class="moz-smiley-s11"><span> 8-) </span></span><br>

updated, python is cured and it just looks great! I'll post to the
other forums and lists your solution and it is obvious that NMGLUG
rocks way more than the other guys.

That's awesome Brian, I'm also a member of the
keep-banging-on-apt-and-dpkg-until-it-works club, (as opposed to those
mamby-pamby re-installers ;)
But when I saw your post this morning I was a little worried, as one of
the more painful upgrades I've ever had was the gNewSense 1.1 to 2.0
upgrade. Which are based on the same two ubuntu releases that you were
working with.
So really glad to see you got through it without too much pain. (Mine
was broken for a month)
Plus I've been waiting for a good opportunity to brag about how well my
other recent big dist-upgrade went. So fwiw, if anyone is considering
updating from Ubuntu Feisty to current Debian testing, that works pretty
well :D
