Recently I installed Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) and everything worked fine until I made first upgrade. since then I had no sound. Solution is quite simple.
Btw. I assume that U have mediubuntu repositories installed.
sudo aptitude install alsa-firmware alsa-firmware-loaders linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic linux-backports-modules-’uname-r’
Last step was to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modules.
After restart, everything should be working fine.

go to Serial port setup, press A and change Serial Device (in my case it’s /dev/ttyUSB0).
now, press E and change Bps/Par/Bits to 9600 8N1.
Choose Save setup as df1, and then Exit.
voila! you’re connected 
for extra configuration, you can edit /etc/minicom/minicom.users or simply use man minicom.

i got quite frustrated with kde4 and it’s bugs/memory overeating/crashing… so, i’ve decided to switch to lightweight xfce and optimize desktop machine a bit…
first, i did some tweaking as said here, then i managed startup programs with rcconf, improved my graphics as described here and finally found decent applications which helped me to forget about kde4
used before -> using now
kate -> geany
amarok -> exaile
firefox -> google chrome
kontact -> evolution
ktorrent -> transmission
konsole -> terminal
kwallet -> revelation
kopete -> empathy
krdc -> terminal server client
btw. if U think that xfce is ugly, make sure U visit xfce-look and deviantart – U will be amazed!
