No sound after upgrading to 11.10.

After some long hours of furious Googling I thought, perhaps, I should check my envy24controls.
Lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. My also-tools were deleted during the upgrade.
So, reinstallation of alsa-tools and -gui and my sound was back up.
But, now, no mention of my hardware in the sound menu.

Alas, as I continually learn in the open source world, I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Tonight I made this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/kohlrabi-with-white-sauce/detail.aspx
But I never have cream or milk, so I substituted almond butter and almond milk.
It was fantastic. The nuttiness of the almond nicely complemented the earthiness of the kohlrabi.

Attempting my MyFirstApp with Android and ran into this problem:

error executing aapt: please check aapt is present blah blah blah.


I found two suggestions for troubleshooting. The first didn't seem to work, though.
1) This is hinted at by Eclipse:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

2) Make sure your permissions are set. In platform-tools, run:

sudo chmod a+x aapt


This is brilliant.

I couldn't get the SDK Manager to download and install any versions of Android older than 4.0.
I would receive an error such as this:

Skipping 'Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API 3, revision 3'; it depends on 'SDK Platform Android 1.5, API 3, revision 4' which was not installed.


The solution is to run Android SDK Manager from root.
Duh.
