Hi!
I installed zorin today and after a while using it had soundcard problems (Dummy output). So i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316634 this solution and it helped. After rebooting the right side dock doesnt start at all though, it just keep loading and some "indicator3" keeps shutting down.
Im quite new to whole Linux os so if someone could explaine whats going on and how to fix it (and explaine as simple as possible) i would be thankfull.

HI and welcome to Zorin! :D I think your AWN (Avant Window Navigator) - the panel at the bottom, has got corrupt. Have you completed an update after installation? Please see Wolfman's excellent Post Installation guide here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2054

After you have followed the advice there and still having issues you may want to uninstall AWN and reinstall it at the terminal (Accessories | Terminal or Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get purge avant-window-navigator


Let the terminal prompt for a 'Y' to remove the package and after it has done so, remain in the Terminal and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator


and after you have been prompted for a 'Y', remain in the terminal and update once more:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Please be aware that whenever you use the 'sudo' command you are asking to be elevated to 'Root' (Administrator) and will be asked for your login password to be able to do so - THERE ARE NO ASTERISKS OR DOTS! So be careful that you type your password correctly - you get 3 attempts before it drops back to 'user' level. :D
