Bad Simon. Bad

by Dietrich Schmitz

The other day I reported an issue concerning no audio in Fuduntu 2013.2.
In truth, the issue was not Fuduntu's fault at all.

Turns out, a cat with a fascination for wires and possessing sharp incisor teeth neatly cut not one but both wire leads to the PC's external speakers.  Well done. :/

Such is the life of Cats, who shall forever remain at the center of the universe.
Such is the life of the Cat owners who must suffer and endure their mischievous antics.

Bad Simon.  Bad.  -- Dietrich
