Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
This report is to assist Gutsy developers in identifying and solving outstanding issues. Attached is an archive containing the important configuration reports and logs that will assist.
Summary:
Laptop Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z Intel Core2 Duo T7200, 2GB RAM with Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 1280x800 HDA-Sigmatel audio
LiveCD boot
* When desktop is displayed: "Error starting Gnome Settings Daemon"
"Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-
This seems to cause many other knock-on effects with various Gnome applications and applets such as no keyboard mappings,
inability of many applications to save settings, etc.
Detected problems:
* HDA 'digital' microphone input records static
(suspect pin assignment wrong - will compare against Feisty and report)
Tested in both Sound Recorder and Ekiga, and tried altering Sound settings
* Ekiga softphone cannot display video from built-in MotionEye camera in correct format
UVC manages the camera correctly, and "luvcview -d /dev/video0 -f yuv" displays camera output correctly
and *without* needing the r5u870 driver installed (great progress!)
* No power management facilities available, no Hibernate or Suspend options
Seems to be caused by the missing dbus
* Texas Instruments MemoryStick not available. tifm_core detects it, but tifm_ms not yet advanced enough to provide access)
Tests Satisfied:
* Intel IPW3945 WiFi works immediately
* NetworkManager switches between WiFi and wired e100
* Sound playback
* Playing the introductory video
* MotionEye camera works (using "luvcview -d /dev/video0 -f yuv" to test)
* Inserting USB Storage key, volumes recognised and mounted
* Bluetooth scans and detects devices
Possible Feature Enhancements
* cryptsetup available on CD so mounting of encrypted devices possible without Internet access
* Enable connection of Bluetooth mice. This can be done easily through a simple edit to /etc/default/
HIDD_ENABLED=1 (currently it is set to 0)
If the device is reset/put into 'discover' mode a scan and connect will allow use of the mouse:
$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
$ sudo hidd --connect 00:07:61:3B:86:98
This can be done automatically with a script similar to this:
BTDEV="`hcitool scan | grep -i 'mouse' | awk '{print $1}'`"; if [ "x${BTDEV}" != "x" ]; then echo "Trying to connect to ${BTDEV}"; sudo hidd --connect ${BTDEV}; fi;

I've just discovered another fault:
* HDA headphones don't work.
Plugging in headphones the speakers are muted but no sound in headphones. Unplug and sound returns to speakers.
