Generic Ubuntu/Kubuntu problem resolution post

Fixed "current dist not found in meta-release file" on upgrade to Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04"
The first time it ran I was within the university wifi network and the upgrade script downloaded the login page rather than the meta-release file. I corrected it by removing the incorrect file and trying it again:
rm ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release

Fixed Audigy 2ZS sound problem in Kubuntu!
Finally figured out that I had to MUTE the Analog/Digital Output Jack, and that's it! Do it either in kmix or alsamixer, it doesn't matter.
