I�m configuring my Ubuntu 11.04 installation but one of the thing that really annoys me is that beeping sound every time I press a key on the keyboard. I haveńt found a way to disable it through System Settings(Sound preferences) and pcspkr is already blacklisted in the blacklist file.

note i do have a sound driver in a folder on my desktop that is the correct driver but it wants me to install it through a terminal i know how to get to it but i dont know the commands to install it the folder on the desktop is called "XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00" and there is a lot of files in their.
Here's what I updated yesterday The following NEW packages will be installed:libboost-program-options1.46.1{a} python-chardet{a} python-debian{a}

Whenever I play a flash object that has sound, there is this repetitive beeping noise audible over the audio track. I've tried this on different videos and different sites, always with the same result. Whenever I play a multimedia file in Iceweasel, for example [URL]... plodes.ogv , the sound is normal, as is the sound for any multimedia file that I play in MPlayer. So, I am convinced it is a flash issue. What I don't get is why this just started happening for no apparent reason.
recently i installed ubuntu (gnome) 10.10. i'm lovin it but only thing is bugging me is this annoying noise whenever i try to see a video on web or using vlc. i m using dell inspiron 6400. IT has VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 My glxinfo outcome is :

now my main problem is whenever i change my visual settings from none to extra , i start getting noise on my usb headphone or even on my speakers especially if i play a video on full screen mode it become worse .. it starts constantly makeing buzzing noise. sometimes even when i minimize or maximize or scroll up down a window...
if i put the visual effects in normal mode i still get the noise on video playing full-screen mood but this is time bit low and on none mode i get the noise too but very low... so i m assuming there must be some problem with my vga card which is causing this chaos. unfortunately there is no driver for my graphics card dat ati supports on ubuntu, so i used gallium 3d project using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/radeon .. graphics works fine now but this nosie is killing me ..
downloaded the ISO and tried both options. Looks like Win doesnt like the of me installing another o.s.Get error message to the effect "acces denied" and referred to log file.thats fine ...

downloaded linuxmint, put it on a CD (blank), into the CD reader, boot from CD, it doesn't boot from CD I press F12 choose boot from CD, then it goes to a black screen with letters about reading CD or something like that, then the Windows XP loading screen appears and proceeds the usual without booting from CD the CD only has the .iso but I do suspect that I didn't burn the CD correctly, if not then I dunno 224 MB RAM 2.2 GHz Intel Celeron

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to install linux on my HP pavillion 511w for several days. The first I tried to install was debian, it didn't freeze but it kept saying unable to mount cdrom drive. (This may have been from an incorrect jumper setting that I later changed.) I haven't tried debian since changing the jumper.
I next tried ubuntu 10.04 beta 2, all it did was go to a ubuntu flash screen that never stopped cycling these small round "lights".
I then tried the "stable" ubuntu 9.10. This went to a screen with several options for installing ubuntu, checking the disk etc. No matter what I selected it would just freeze. Since this is my first install I wasn't sure if this was normal or not so I waited several hours and still nothing, after enough time I concluded it must have been frozen. But before I continue wasting time waiting for hours can someone tell me... when installing these linux versions is there a sign that it is loading, booting, or installing the OS? I figure it must have a status bar or something, but want to make sure.
I next tried linux mint 8. It did the same thing, went to a sceen with several options and when I select something it says "loading" at the bottom with a blinking cursor, but of course it never loads anything, just sits there. This one throws me off a bit because it says its loading and the cursor blinks but it just doesn't seem like it is actually doing anything.
I have also downloaded ubuntu 8 which I plan to try next. I've tried changing the boot/install options by pushing F6 or whatever it was.
The computer is an older system that I never use because its so slow running XP. I thought linux would run faster and I could get some use out of it while learning/experimenting with linux. I always have to have projects to keep my mind working, but constantly failing at the starting line is not much fun.
I just installed linuxmint 10 in my lenovo s10e and cant get the wireless to work
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have "successfully" installed both LinuxMint 9 "Isadora" and Ubuntu 10.04 on it, and found I have the same problem with each. That is, I am able to:
1. startup to the live CD
2. format the hd to be all Linux
3. startup the computer from the HD into Linux
Then, I get these problems, in both distributions
4. Monitor hangs on the desktop background for an immensely long time (maybe 30 minutes?) with no cursor or menu bar or status bar or anything
5. Eventually, I get a desktop that I would expect and I have an option to do things like update, customize etc. however at this point, the cursor is invisibile. I am able to navigate and get around by guessing (menubar elements highlight when being hovered over)
6. After about a half an hour in an operable mode (I have tested network connections, played videos and music from external HD media stores, you name it.) the monitor will mysteriously crash.
Clarification:
#4: nothing I do while the dekstop background is featureless, meaning any key on the keyboard or any normal key combination, including all the F keys, ctrl-F keys, ctrl-alt-delete or ctrl-alt-escape or alt-opt-delete or alt-option-escape etc. Nothing does anything. It is utterly unresponsive.
#6 What I mean by "mysteriously crash"? the monitor goes black and then the top half starts displaying what looks like a super-zoomed in bar code. The only way out of this is to force the computer to restart.
Since this happens in both the linux distributions, I'm at a loss to figure what's causing it.

I'm havng some seriously bad performance why i try to do any work on ubuntu.. big issue..i think it's in ubuntu 10.04 and need's some serious work!here's my list.

I've been ripping my CDs to digital for about 10-12 years, and for about 8-10 years, all my new purchases of music have been in digital form. My favored method of organizing my stuff has been by using subdirectories code...
It seems that every music program that has the ability to manage your music collection wants to use MP3 tags to do so. I severely do not want that behavior. I would like to be able to automatically create a library based on pathnames.
Winamp cooperates with my directory structure, but Rhythmbox / Songbird / Exaile seem to be hard-coded to just read id3 tags and operate according to that.
I have encounted with this problem for a long time. When I boot my debian with an available Internet connnection , it performs normal speed. But if I boot it without Internet, it seems extremly slow, especially during rsyslogd and cupsd.
The same thing happens when I open any application. When I shut down my TP-link , all of applications become slow to run. But if I shut down the wired connection from network settings , everything goes all right.
I am having a very weird problem, of which I have never heard before. The problem, shortly (I will give details in the following), is that the copy speed between the partition in which I am running my Fedora and another partition where I store backup data is 50K/s, which is extremely slow (it has been usually around 10M/s, almost 200 times faster).
My laptop is a HP Pavillion Dv7 2080 ep, in which I have two disks of 250G. One of the disks is partitioned between two operational systems, Fedora 14 64 and Windows 7 64, and the other disk contains the above referred partition where I store my backups (lets call it backup disk). The problem happens ONLY when I try to copy anything from my home in Fedora to the backup disk. I first thought it could be a problem in the backup disk. Then I login into the windows and made a copy of some AVI files (3G approx) to the backup disk, which went normally, within a few seconds, thus eliminating this possibility. I try therefore to make the inverse process, a copy from the backup disk into my home folder in Fedora. It went normally, copying 4 G also within few seconds, actually with an excellent speed of 50M/s. After searching in google, I saw some people also complaining of slow copy speed (although they had 7M/s, more than 100 times faster than what I have now), and one cause could be that the source file system (in my case the Fedora home folder) would be near its full capacity. I therefore eliminate everything that I could, around 15G, and now I have like 20G of free disk space, which I think is more than enough for everything. However, the problem persists. Some people also said that it could be the type of files and/or amount of data. I therefore tried several kinds of files (from raw data files to AVI and RMVB regular video files), and several amounts of data (from single files with a few Megas to folders with 20G) and in all cases I had the same unacceptably low copy speed of 50K/s.
It seems to be a problem in the software, caused by the updates, since until 10 days ago it was everything ok. However, I usually make the updates whenever they appear but make my backups much less frequently. Therefore I don't know for sure what has changed in Fedora through the updates since the last backup I made, when everything was working fine.
Besides I use Pidgin and Empathy, and want to video chat.
How can I get the cam work.
I can watch movies without problems, with the default videoplayer in ubuntu and with xbmc.but if i have a chromium web browser window open (in the background) i have about 1 frame / sec in videoplayback and no sound.the no sound problem may be related to the fact that im using sound over hdmi. i am using the nvidia proprietary drivers for my gt220.how can it be that a simple webbrwoser is slowing down videoplayback in other programs?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer fan sounds very much on certain Linux distro's.
On some it nearly doesn't sound at all.
The ones I've tried which sounds alot:
Arch with KDE and Xfce
Chrunchbang with Openbox
Fedora 15
The ones who the computer fan nearly doesn't sound at all:
Ubuntu 11.04
Mint 11
Xubuntu 11.04
Does anybody have an idea why my fan is very quiet on the Ubuntu distros.
I acually would like to use Arch but I really hate when the fan makes alot of noise.
And I don't really understand why Chrungbang sound alot neither. It uses Openbox which is very light on resources and also Chrunchbang is based on Debian which Ubuntu is as well.
My apt gets noise from outside. I would like to generate a white noise audio file and play it to block outside noise. I would prefer something like the low frequency hum of a big fan. How can I generate this file in using linux tools?

I was gone for like an hour and when i came back it was doing this. The only way I could get on the internet was by running firefox from terminal but that is all that shows up, and none of my history, bookmarks, etc are on it. As soon as i log in, it goes to terminal in a box in the corner of the screen. What can i do to get my computer back?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new pc. It has plenty of hard drive space and ram with a 2.6GHz processor. I'm trying to run a dual-boot with Windows 7 and Linuxmint. I need some help as to how I go about installing my video driver. I have tried combinations of the following: -clicking on the taskbar icon that says "restricted drivers are available" and enabling the drivers -going to Software Manager/Drivers and choosing to install "NVidia 3D Drivers"
My efforts so far have only resulted in the following behavior: The screen changes from color into black-and-white and becomes unresponsive except to close it out The screen freezes up completely forcing me open up a terminal to kill the offending process (which turns out to be firefox)
The next thing I would like to try is to just go to the Nvidia website and downloading and installing the driver from there. It's a BIN file with a "run" extension. So I entered the command "chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run" followed by the command "./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run". But I get an error that says the following:
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. WHAT IS AN X SERVER? HOW DO I CLOSE IT?? I've got nothing unusual open. Maybe a web page. I've tried closing out of everything except the terminal and I still get the same message.
Anyone know how to get rid of the highlights (see pic) that come up in 10.04 since i installed it? They appear in different programs as well as the main menu and the taskbar at random.
