[SOLVED] Can't get sound and compiz to work

[jose158]

I was trying to install virtualbox-ose-modules and the next time I rebooted, the sound would not work and it went into no visual effects mode. Any help appreciated.

I think it might have something to do with my graphics card... My computer can't tell which graphics card I'm using:confused:

I really don't want to reinstall Ubuntu again.=;

AFAIK virtualbox-ose-modules messes with the kernel - don't you get additional kernel choices in your GRUB menu? If so - chose the previous kernel version and I reccomend that you install the binary version of Virtualbox they provide for Ubuntu. A lot less hassle.

Im not sure what you mean by that.

I mean by that that you will be better off installing this version of Virtualbox:

I am no expert - I just had similar problems after installing the ose version.

Bu what about the sound and compiz not working? How do I fix that?

I miss watching videos and movies on Ubuntu:(

I don't really care if compiz won't work that much, but I really want to listen to music and watch videos:(

I have a problem which might be similar...whenever I manipulate (scroll, maximize etc) firefox (or opera) I get glitches in the sound...

using atiradeon 1300 series with thepropietary drivers....hmmmmm


anyways.

Will the only way to fix it have to be to reinstall Ubuntu? I really don't want to since I got everything just as I want it :(
