Hi,

In an attempt to get my sound working (it was working, then after a reboot it says I have no devices and volume controls all snap back down to zero when I try to move them), I was hoping to instal alsa-utils to run alsaconf.

When I run apt-get install alsa-utils, included under REMOVE packages are gnome, gnome-desktop-environment, and 5 others.

Is this correct? Will I lose gnome?
