Help me with a few problems plz!!!!!!
I tell people about linux and open standards when ever I get a moment. I have a few distros, but I just started to use ubuntu on my harddrive I have 8.10. My first problem is I have no audio at all but only at the logon screen. I cheched the sound prefrences and looks ok. My second problem is my keyboard will not add the $%?$?&&$%& keys they do the blue not the black. Also Im using the default as generic 105-key (Intl) PC. One newbish question also how do you use a tar for example to install a program and is rar able to be opened in linux. One last question what is an exetuable for example .exe is in windows. Thanks in advance.

When you check the sound preferences in System -> Preferences -> Sound try selecting different drivers like OSS, ALSA, or PulseAudio. If you have a file that is in tar.gz format, you can extract it by typing:
Code:
tar xvzf <file>.tar.gz Code:
./configure |

My sound problem I did try drivers like OSS, ALSA, or PulseAudio It wont work with all but ASLR. It seems to be working. Thanks. |

tar -xvzf /home/your_username/Desktop/StepMania-CVS-20080103-linux.tar.gz It is better to download files to a folder. Create a folder download and download the files to that folder. |
so, I have an exeutable in the folder but will not open. and can you help me with my other problems. thanks. one other thing how do you make shortcuts.
|
Once you untar the file it will create a new directory. cd into that new directory and then run the install commands (the final command should be run as root by doing 'su -c "make install" ' without the outside marks). It will then install itself to the correct directories on your system and should give you a shortcut in your start menu.

StepMania-CVS-20080103-linux cd into the directory and read the readme files. Tar does not install, it just contains the files to install. In general you need to do ./configure make make install But again, look at the readme files. |
Does anyone have a fix to my keyboard problem or sound. thanks.
|
Please read the man page and post the output of
Code:
lspci Code:
amd64@amd64-desktop:~$ lspci | grep Audio |

Try running the lspci command as root - some systems require you to be root to run it. Or run /sbin/lspci as the user.

Ok, so your audio card is detected and it appears that it is properly read by your system. There may be some options you can edit to enable the card. Ubuntuforums has a few people that have gotten this working, and a few that are still having problems. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=940689 Please see post #2.
