Comment 20 for bug 705988

Hi, I solve all problems by simply way - on Fujitsu Siemens desktop i have UBUNTU 10.10 and wont update anything anymore - no need.
On notebook ACER 5553G I had installed SUSE 12.1 - All works immidiatelly 100% no bug with microphone, camera & other bullshits..
Also easy way how to switch from crazzy unuseful UNITY to Standard one (multidesktop w gnome-panel&&&)..

As I reading reactions of users, I'm not only one who do that...

PS: I had start using Linux in year 1998... an UBNTU I'm using since 8.04. Unity kills all also things like FORBIDEN runs .exe w/o permision,
where is LINUX user freedom ?

T.K.

Seems to have been fixed in recent system updates since the more recent
version of software-center was rolled out some time ago.

Haven't experienced that issue since the 11.10 roll-out.
