Heron

Day two of running Kubuntu Hardy Heron revealed a minor issues: my VirtualBox wouldn't run. VirtualBox appeared to open up fine, until I selected one of my virtual machines to run. It tried to load it, but errored out because it couldn't find the VM files on the system. I'm sure this stemmed from the upgrade process from Gutsy Gibbon and how it rewrites files. The fix was really easy. I simply reinstalled the Deb package and alls good again!

Well, I upgraded my system from Kubuntu Fiesty Fawn to Hardy Heron today. Five minutes into using it, I found my first oddity: the left channel was playing ten time louder than the right on my headphones. After a little bit of digging, playing around, and tweaking, I discovered that if you open up KMix, Right Click on the Output for the device you are using, and select split channels, the problem goes away.
