    [ubuntu] Re: No Sound From New Build.

    Martin, I would guess that the Intel "sound card" is integrated into the Intel motherboard. The Audigy is a PCI card.

    Is alsamixer the deal that opens when one double-clicks the speaker icon in...

    [ubuntu] No Sound From New Build.

    I have posted this on the "Absolute Beginners" Forum, but, the action there is so slow (three days, and, no response) that I thought I'd rephrase my situation on this forum.

    I have just installed...

    [ubuntu] Re: New Build --- Need Drivers.

    Still not getting sound. Have tried another speaker system to no avail.

    In the Ubuntu Volume Control all Playback selections are turned on and cranked up to high volume. In Volume Control, the...

    [ubuntu] Re: New Build --- Need Drivers.

    Opps, sorry. I should have mentioned that I had done that.

    And, BTW, in case it is significant, I have enabled the following three "envy" entries: envyng-core, envyng-gtk and envyng-qt. Those...

    [ubuntu] Re: New Build --- Need Drivers.

    Thnx for the tips. I applied both and still don't have sound (I do have a hum from the speakers which should mean they are, at least, properly connected).

    I also have all sound options checked in...

    I've put together a new computer, dedicated to Ubuntu, and can't figure out how to get and install drivers for the video and sound cards.

    The video card is an nVidia-based MS 8850. The sound card...

    [ubuntu] ?Automatrix Version For Hardy Heron?

    Is there a new version of Automatrix for HH, or, would the older version for Feisty Fox work with HH?
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run.

    Happy Day! I am pleased to tell you guys that I found an old wired network card in my closet, installed and connected it to my router, rebooted to Ubuntu and, like magic, my monitor resolution was...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run.

    Tom, can't do that w/o an internet connection. The computer in question doesn't have connectivity under Linux. Am looking for a U.S.Robotics usb wireless adaptor driver, but, will probably follow...
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run.

    Oh, my, I am making this much too complicated by using two different computers with Ubuntu---the main Ubuntu computer (ONLY Ubuntu) is the one with internet access and has proper video display...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run.

    Thanx, guys.

    CR, I printed out your instructions. Many thanks!

    Unfortunately, I had already tried the "Ubuntu" way, using System/Admin/Hardware. This does result in the nVidea driver being...
  14. [ubuntu] Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run.

    Is this (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12.pkg1.run) the right driver for a GeForce 7600GS GPU-based card? The card is an ASUS En7600GS Silent.

    The installation instructions seem to indicate that one...
  15. [ubuntu] Re: Seemingly Spotty Peripherial Support in Ubuntu.

    Thanx, LowSky. I don't have a wireless adaptor installed on that computer. Will that affect the validity of the "lspci" results? Obviously, there will be no wireless information contained in the...
  16. [ubuntu] Seemingly Spotty Peripherial Support in Ubuntu.

    Well, I am pleased to report that I had no trouble cleaning Windows Media Center out and installing HH in its place for a totally Ubuntu computer (a spare Pentium 4 box with 512 meg of RAM). The mobo...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Well, Louie and Cat, my own experience follows your lead, I'm happy to say. First, I used the liveCD to check if the hardwired lan connection worked. It did and I am now reformatting the C:\ drive...
  18. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Okay, here is a whole new approach that I'm hoping will be a foolproof way to get my Ubuntu computer connected to my network. Please tell me that I can install a wired (CAT 5) PCI card and have...
  19. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Cat, your link (quoted above) states (in bold) that those instructions are not for Ubuntu desktop CDs, which is what I am using. However, I went through them and, it would appear, successfully...
  20. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Thanks, Petero. The USB adaptor is one I purchased and is a standalone wireless adaptor.

    Ah, you have reinforced my hope that I'm on the right track because I have already started the Ubuntu...
  21. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Ptero, I ran "lsusb" and the USRobotics wireless adaptor was listed. Running "lspci -v" didn't list a reference to the USRobotics adaptor, just mostly a ton of nvidia stuff.

    The router is a...

  23. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    But, TJ, I have a third desktop (wife's) and a laptop that have no problem connecting wirelessly. This rules out the router as the culprit. Has to be the USRobotics adaptor.
  24. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    Sorry about that---the model number is USR5422. It is a 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adaptor.
  25. [ubuntu] Re: Newbie Install of 8.04.1 Has no Internet Connection.

    No, K2, the other machine is connected with a CAT5 cable to the router.

    The terminal output is several screens long. I think the best way would be the cut and paste approach you suggested. I'm...
