Also working now for me with Lucid Lynx LTS 64-bit. This is great, so happy!

This works for me too! Thanks so much for digging up this old thread and letting us know about this. I've been using OSS but it is only a half solution. I now have full audio for...

OK, I think I have this just about solved. To recap,

1. I followed these instructions for setting up OSS:

Progress report:

Well, I seem to have sound about half the time. osstest always gives me sound, both from my rear and front "green" jack.

Using the test function in the Multimedia Systems...

Thanks for the suggestion. When I run gstreamer-properties I just get the Multimedia System Selector box, where I get the "Unsupported" indication (see #3 in my post above). At least I think that's...

I'm one step closer....

I followed the Ubuntu Community Documentation that I listed in #2 in my previous post. I'm still not getting any sound out yet, but:

Thanks for the tip, Webe12. I have been studying this today and will give it a try as soon as I get a chance. For the possible benefit of others I will briefly summarize what I have found.

Hi. Just wanted to chime in and say that I just installed Karmic on my HP Pavilion Elite and have the same problem with my Creative X-Fi Xtreme. ...

A big THANK YOU!

I installed wacom-tools but I don't know if I really needed to or not.

The one bit of information I was really missing was the Wacom Community Documentation page....

Thanks very much! Just trying to help a guy out and here I get some good info myself.

I'll have to dig into this when I get a chance this week and see what I can accomplish.

Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

I have a Wacom Bamboo which did not work "out of the box" with Gutsy (8.10), but which works very well with Jaunty (9.04) without installing anything else....

Yea!

Alsamixer is a great tool. I sometimes use an external sound card with my laptop, and alsamixer gives me quick access to its settings.

alsamixer -c0 for first card

alsamixer -c1 for...

This might be as simple as unmuting the external mic or turning the gain up. I prefer using alsamixer in a terminal to do this. (Seems like there's a volume control somewhere in the menu system but...

Also, Adobe has a test site that will tell you if you have Flash properly installed and if so what version:

Hi. I gave up on upgrades a long time ago and decided that doing clean installs was much better, besides giving me a chance to dump some of the software that I have installed but never use anymore. ...

If this is your first experience with Ubuntu and you are already comfortable with Windows, then I recommend you go with Vista and then install Ubuntu inside Windows using Wubi. If you find you like...

I recently installed Intrepid using Wubi and am very impressed by how easy it was and how well it works. Essentially, it makes a large file on your hard drive and treats it as a virtual partition. ...

I agree with the Brasero recommendation. I'm not on my Ubuntu machine right now, but as I recall it comes standard with the Hardy distro and is available for Gutsy from the repositories.

Something new in U3, maybe? Don't know if this is a new development in U3 or is particular to this manufacturer, but is sure makes removing U3 easier:

I just bought a Sandisk Curzer 2 GB USB...

You could install Gparted using Synaptic, and that will let you format and partition drives.

(Be very careful that you do not format the wrong drive!)

You could also go to...

Maybe someone can comment on this -- wouldn't this do the job?:

sudo update-grub

I know that will update menu.lst to reflect things like uninstalled older versions of the kernel. Don't know...

I have two laptops both of which dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, and my wife still uses Windows, so I have the same situation. My solution was to partition an external drive and leave one partition as...

That's pretty interesting and good to know. When you get a chance, please let us know the exact command. Sounds like a good thing to know about. I had the same experience as...

Sounds as if you might be able to help "thegodfaza" with his touchpad configuration problem. Thanx.

I did quite a bit of tweaking on my touchpad settings quite a while back, but I think I have forgotten more than I ever knew about the subject!

But, in case you have not seen these, here are some...
