[LUNI] Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop - Audio

[Mike Scott]

I did see that, but haven't had a chance to try it out.
Hopefully my experience will be better than 10.04.

As I said, I never do upgrades, but rather swap SATA cables in the
desktop (HDD in the tablet) and do a clean install.  Then I mount the
old drive and move my data over.  I have done this since my epic fail at
a Red Hat "upgrade" years ago and never regretted it.

One thing that really irked me about 10.04 even before it started
flaking on my desktop.  It always displays a list of users on the login
screen rather than making you type in the user name.  There used to be
an option to turn this off in older versions, but they either removed it
or buried it in 10.04.  Do you know where I can find it?

Mike,

you know 10.10 is out, right?

I am running it on HP EliteBook 2540p, some older HP and a ThinkPad
T43 - sound works good.
