Suddenly I don't have the little icon at the upper right portion of the screen telling me if I am connected to a network. At first I didn't think that was a big deal, but I find that I can no longer...
Man, thank you so much for the advice. I think we are on the right track, but I still can't get flash to work for me in Opera. I tried pasting both options you gave me into terminal, the first time...
For some reason I can't flash to work in Opera. I have verified that it is intalled in synaptic. I even re-installed it, and I have verified that it works in Firefox. I have made sure that plugins...
Of course you are right. I guess I am just wondering why the truly brilliant people behind Ubuntu Linux don't seem interested in seeing the user experience through the eyes of idiots like me. Scratch...
I know that makes perfect sense to you and most other experienced Linux users, but for people like me it is not that simple. For example, when I wanted to install Google Earth I had to download the...
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I understand that Medibuntu cannot initially be included, what I am saying is that there should be a button you click on that enables all that crap that...
First of all, I love, love, love, both the idea of Linux and the reality of Ubuntu Linux. I have played around with two or three releases of Ubuntu over the last year or two and I am fairly...
Never mind. I feel pretty stupid. I just saw the "help" feature. I might be way too stupid for Ubuntu.
I just came back to Ubuntu on an Acer netbook. Things look great, but I am having a hard time adjusting to the new desktop or whatever. Anyway, is there a tutorial that I can watch or read that would...
Nothing I have tried has worked. This is pretty frustrating.
There are indeed jacks for speakers and microphones back there. I am going to attempt to remove alsa, reboot, and put it back to see if that works.
I do not know much about the provenance of this computer. How likely is it that there actually is no sound card present?
I feel like I am getting closer:
I get to here with the process:
Where did I go wrong?
Here are the results:
Thanks again.
I am posting a screenshot with the error that came up when I tried the test.
So, does this mean that there is no card or that the system doesn't see the one that is there?
I have tried different websites that have audio. Honestly I had not put a whole lot of thought into how to test now that you mention it. What do you suggest?
I have tried both usb speakers and standard stereo jack speakers. Is there a typical reason for this not to work?
It's OK, I just sort of hoped this was some kind of a known issue for which there existed an easy fix.
I am not sure I know what a FF profile is. Anyway, it is happening on my laptop too.
It is constantly going to a sort of modified "full screen" mode where the screen resizing buttons dissapear and things sort of tend to freeze up and slow down. The only to fix it is to press F-11 to...
Well, I was able to do what you said without getting any weird error messages. Once that was done I went ahead and tried to open opera by coding "opera" in terminal. What I got was this:
My...
Dude, I am to the point now where I can barely remember why I started this whole mess. I think it was because there were a couple of websites that were not rendering correctly in 9.5. Anyway the...
