Hard drive with xubuntu swap into new computer

[Derringer81]

So I have a drive that I pulled from an old pc and threw it into a new pc. Everything seems to function ok except my sound, and network cards.

I still have the install disks, but there is a wiki site I would hate to lose. Is there a way to update these?

I'm sorry if this is a double post, I did a search but didn't find much.

Updating individual drivers on a linux system is hard, especially without knowing exactly which ones. You can backup and reinstall, or upgrade to a supported release - no need to loose anything.

I'm on the latest release already.

Cool thanks!

If you just have driver issues you may be able to just update or re-install the kernel.

Maybe try in a terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

reboot and see if that fixed anything, otherwise do a re-install of the kernel

sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r`

Those are back-ticks around the uname command

Try deleting pulseaudio's user config files so it generates fresh ones:

rm -r ~/.config/pulse*
pulseaudio -k

If that still doesn't work give more info:

For network give output of:

sudo lshw -c network -sanitize
