Ask away. What do you want to know? Several members here use Ubuntu.

Can you give me a link ( or provide a few lines of text) regarding the term " too big adjustment 32" .
After realizing how well Rhythm Box works ( for my needs!), I thought I’d try to load Itunes on to my computer( for a laugh) so that I wouldn’t have to throw out my itouch ( got it a few years ago,) This " too big…" thing came up in my system log (?).
If I find a reasonable facsimile to the itouch that works well with Rhythm Box, please let me know. I’m done with this proprietary stuff. Actually, I shouldn’t have even worded My last request like that. I know there’s better devices out there.
I’m starting to rant!
I’ve gone to Ubuntu help, but they tend to talk in terms I’m not well versed in.
ON htmf, letting it all show, here’s my request: Can you explain this term ( too big adjustment 32) to me as though I were a monkey?

I’ve been trying the forums but they are quick to lose me in their language. I should buy an ergonomic chair and settle in for a long ‘Ubuntu help’ session. Start from scratch and actually attempt to learn the language.
Thanks J’

If you google the term too big adjustment 32 you’ll get lots of hits. It seems to be a bug that is happening with intel sound cards. This issue is not specific to Ubuntu; I read that people running Red Hat, Gentoo, and Mandriva are also having this issue.
To fix this issue you will need to become familiar with some of the terminology that the Ubuntu people are throwing at you. Perhaps someone here running Ubuntu may choose to help you. Good luck!

Yeah, the new version of openSUSE looks sweet indeed, very polished! 🕶

I’ll be curious to hear what you think about it, jase. I last used Mandriva back at version 2006, it was a solid distro. 😄

I actually like it better than suse, it loads faster its nicer to use, for some one that wants to learn and use it, its very easy and straight forward to setup, install, configure.
