Where can someone get a copy of the new Ubuntu?
Also, does anyone know how to create an account while forcing the new
user to change a password at first login?

Based on some good feedback I've read I decided to try and use
network-manager to manage my wireless connection on kubuntu Dapper. I
can
see the daemon starting and the Knetworkmanager applet is running on my
system tray, but it reports "No network device found". I also had
kwifimanager installed which I thought might be the problem but
uninstalling
that didn't help. Using iwlist shows eth1 recognizing an ESSID so I know
that my wireless is working. I believe another program has control(?) of
my
wireless connection and that is why network-manager can't see it. How do
I
determine if this is the case?
Thanks.

Are you sure you have everything running? NetworkManager can be a bit
of a chore to get running properly because it's a client/server
application that communicates over DBUS. It's really strange because on
Ubuntu you need to start it up with the HAL scripts. Make sure you've
got your DBUS setup properly.

I'm trying to record the output of my sound card, I've come across a
bunch of articles saying that simply putting by simply putting the
following in ~/.asoundrc file & using arecord should be enough.
pcm.copy {
type plug
slave {
pcm hw
}
route_policy copy
}
The arecord command then being:
arecord -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav
However, this file always appears to be empty when I'm done recording.
Additional (helpful?) facts:
1) The application (Elluminate) is written in Java and appears to only
recognize OSS drivers, so I'm forced to use the alsa-oss emulation
layer.
2) I've also tried esd & esdmon, but the app just blows past that and
goes straight to the OSS drivers. (At least the output of esdmon is an
empty file).
3) I've tried to use audacity, but the app grabs the sound card and poor
audacity can't get control to record anything.
Anyone out there have experience in doing this (trying to get the sound
output from a stubborn application)?

I'm not certain about the best way to do this in software, but if you
have a
full-duplex sound card you could always just run a cable between your
line out
and line in and record the analog signal.

I found a box of Ubuntu CDs in a starwell at CMU. If you lost such a
box, let me know. If you just need some Ubuntu cds, let me know :-)

The new Ubuntu just came out a few days ago... I already ordered my new
Ubuntu CD's, so perhaps this person ditched their old CD's?
