Accepted into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Scratch that last comment; a) this isn't lucid, it's maverick, and b) since this was a regression in -proposed only, the bug should be fixed now. Marking as fix released, as the binary packages should all be published within an hour.

You guys are too bloody good

I forgot to ask, but how would I apply this bug fix? It doesn't seem to be anywhere at the moment...

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?

Cedric,

 From the update manager, and i received the update.

However, the sound icon from Indicator applet has dissappeared.

Any ideas, anyone?

Cheers

Just run a
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

The built packages take time to get published. If they are not on archive.ubuntu.com now, they should be shortly. The packages will appear on other mirrors at the time of their next update run.

Still havent recieved it, probably need to switch from an aus mirror to main repo?

Log out and back in does not restore it?

I've just received it, and everything seems to be working. I just needed to change to the main server.

I'm really sorry to have bothered you with this. Thank you very much!

My update-notifier icon in the system tray is now showing an error. I have tried everything I could find. Strangely I can use synaptic, apt-get, and even aptitude perfectly but the update icon continues to show an error.

'E:Could not open file /var/lib/synaptic/preferences - open (13: Permission denied)'

I think it is related to the failed upgrade of alsa-utils and though it has upgraded properly now I seem to have this residual error.

Error fixed. Probably a bug from Xubuntu's initial configuration when it was installed.

Linux xxxxx 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:36:48 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.10

Tried this morning, fixed for me. Thank you.

setting to fix committed, 1.0.23-2ubuntu3.4 is not in -updates.

For those you can want to test the package is in maverick-proposed. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Works on my system:

Thanks for the superb effort and turn around time. This is definately fixed and is working 100% for me. Thank you again!!

This just failed for me again on the most recent; I can't figure out how to
attach it to the right bug in launchpad though--it wants me to report it as
a new one. I tried putting the bug number in the description, and even tried
copying the text into the summary box to search again.

Can someone tell me the trick to attaching the report to the existing bug?
Sorry if this is a nube question.

@Bryan What is the output from `apt-cache policy alsa-utils'?

only reporting it since it keeps generating crash reports. Thanks for all
