Ubuntu :: Almost Perfect Update To 9.10 Except Sound
Nov 1, 2009
After many troubles with an update, I did a clean install if 9. 10 64-bit and it seems to work really well. First thing I did, was install the restricted codec and Tweak. using tweak I added Chromium and VLC. Then I right-click the speaker icon and un-muted the system. I then opened the Sound preference and in the hardware menu and disabled the Internal Audio and the R700 Audio Device. The Sound Blaster Live Value card is the only one highlighted..the Setting is "Analog Surround 5.0 Output". But still no sound!! When I did a fresh install of 9.04 the sound was automatically installed and I got the start up drum sound but nothing now. Kinda frustrating considering everything else seems to work fine compared to others even feels a little better than 9.04 but the sound thing is not cool.
Here is the terminal output for aplay -l:

Recently I installed Renoise demo and followed their install instructions from the Renoise 2.1 quickstart guide. It said if you get any errors to do the following:
Configuring Realtime Threads: If you get a warning message when you start Renoise, read this section. To allow Renoise to create realtime threads, which are required for low latencies with ALSA or JACK, you have to edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file. A realtime kernel does NOT help here, it does not set the required options automatically! To enable RT thread creation via PAM open the /etc/security/limits.conf file in a text editor as root (or sudo). Then somewhere near the end of the file add:
YOURUSERNAME - rtprio 99 YOURUSERNAME - nice -10 Replace YOURUSERNAME with your username. You can discover this with the 'whoami' command. Alternatively you could also create a group named "Audio", add your user to that group, and use '@Audio' instead of 'YOURUSERNAME'. Save the file. Log Out. Login. At this point it should be working. To verify that it works, launch Renoise, select ALSA and make sure the 'Realtime threads' option is on. You will get a friendly warning like the one above. If RT creation failed. Try again.
Jack Configuration If you don't have "Jack Control (JACK Audio Connection Kit)", we recommend that you install it. Jack Control allows easy Audio/MIDI routing with an intuitive GUI. On Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install jackd qjackctl Now you can start it from [Applications] -> [Audio] -> [Jack Control]. Click the "Setup" button, and set following values: Change the "Priority" value to 89. (If you use realtime kernel, also add check mark beside "Realtime") Change the "Periods/buffer" value to 3 or more.
In addition, please configure latency and other settings according to the needs of your system. Now I don't have sound where and when I used to, for example: songbird no longer plays sound tho it plays the track and no sound in web browsers aswell, like ..... plays but no sound. It has to be something simple because audio for everything was fine until editing that one file and installing that audio jack program.
I recently updated my computer Using 9.10 and I updated on the 14th. Before the update my sound was working great. No problems, but afterwards my sound is completely gone and under hardware when I click the sound option on the speaker icon I get nothing listed under hardware.
I am using the HP DV2810 US notebook PC. With this being listed as the audio device.
I will also list the updates from my synaptic history. I'm having to use Win7 . And i only wanted that for the few games that one run well in wine.
Under 10.04, I was using my sound card just fine, but after a system update,I lost all my sound profiles and my sound. I'm using my mobo's SPDIF ( I have an ASUS p7p55d).
have you ever set up the perfect ubuntu , all the softwares,games,libs,customizations... and wanted to back it up so if anything happens in the future you could just go back to "perfect one" ?
i want to create a perfect copy of my HDD. I have ubuntu and windows on here. I want to make it so that i can boot off an external HDD, and it will start up the GRUB menu, and all my files etc. will be the same on each OS as they were on the internal. is there a good way to do this?
Ok, this is not a matter of life or death for me. I am just an experimental geek. I had a three partition HD originally, one blank, one with my home directory and one empty one. Then, I used unetbootin and put puppy on my empty partition. Now, puppy works, but I wantt a way to switch. I can reinstall, I just want a way of having several linux OS's on a hard drive.
my ubuntu laptop is running very slowly, it was running fine until I rebooted it then it has stayed really slow. It takes 7minutes to boot and crashes alot, most of the time it takes a good 3 mins to open anything,
The requirements are: SystemA must be 100% Identical to SystemB no matter what rsync runs into: symlinks, same size files with different dates, directories that no longer exist... etc. What is your perfect rsync command?
I encountered a doc file recently that opened noticeably differently in OOo than it did in MS Office. I think the difference was a small change in spacing that pushed some text onto the next line. It's also feasible that the problem was on my end. My question has this.
1. Should I expect OOo compatibility with text-only .doc files to be absolutely, 100% perfect? 2. If not, any insights on where the problems usually are?
For those of you who have no idea, the original plan for Ubuntu 11.04 was to have only one beta release, but that has changed and there is now a Beta 1 and Beta 2. The Beta 1 has been scheduled for the time the original Beta was scheduled for, and Beta 2 has been scheduled for 20110414. For those of you who have seen my profile, that falls on the day I turn 18! (Just wanted to add my 2� here). However, I plan to be humble about it. Guys (and girls), what would you do if a Linux distro version (alpha, beta, or final) was released on your birthday?
I'm looking to find a way to ensure that what I'm hearing from my computer is Bit Perfect, and can also play 24/96khz files.
Audio on Linux has always confused me, so I'm not entirely sure where to start. So if we were to say I'd be starting from a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.3, where would I have to go to achieve my goal with an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 Sound Card (ICE1712 Chipset)?
Anyone who has been in the world of Linux for more than a minute knows there is a good deal of choice when it comes to package manager. What is your package manager of choice and why? Why do you prefer to use RPM/dpkg/apt-get/yum/pacman/emerge/<insert random package manager here> over others out there?
I'm looking for javascript tutorials or books that meets the following criteria:
1. Very thorough: Starts with the most fundamental concepts and progresses logically from basic to advanced concepts, without skipping over important ideas for the sake of expediency.
2. Lots of small practice exercises that parallel the concepts and syntax being learned.
I've looked at a lot of tutorials, but they all tend to be lacking in one of these areas or the other.
The more I use openSUSE 11.2, the more I love it. Today, I tried another highly recommended KDE4 distro, and while it was nice, I immediately recognized that the excellent integration and refinements SUSE includes are very much to my liking. openSUSE is nearly perfect for me in every way -- except one. The package management continues to leave me baffled.I was hoping I would eventually learn to like it as much as Synaptic, aptitude/apt-get and the other tools on Debian-based distros. But the more I read, the more I am questioning whether I will ever like it.I'm now fairly convinced that Debian-based package management is the gold standard. (Of course, I'm just going on what I have read. I'm far from expert, and I'm hoping to get educated by posting questions like this one.)
But I doubt I will find a distro that is equal to openSUSE in every way except that it uses Debian-based package management. (I wish such a distro existed.)So, if I have to live with YaST, zypper, RPMs, etc., how can I learn to have the best experience with the least amount of investment? Low investment is important because if I really wanted to invest the time to become more of an expert in operating systems, package management, etc., I would probably just jump to Arch Linux and KDEmod and enjoy a rolling release. Or maybe Gentoo, etc. What I like about openSUSE is that it just works. It works out of the box. Except for package management.
deal with the initial setup of all the stuff on another (Debian-based) distro that isn't to my liking or that just doesn't work, and then thereafter enjoy that distro's good package management..have a great out of the box experience and the overall nicest initial OS experience I ever remember, but live every day with a package management system that isn't up to what I experienced under Ubuntu.Quote from the link above: It is almost unfair to include Red Hat in the same category as Suse because, frankly, Suse makes Red Hat look like geniuses. I don't know why a company which can create arguably the most attractive and professional looking distribution available in the Linux world has such a godawful package manager.
I would like to get help from experts who are experienced in the area of Linux network programming to help me to choose the proper way to create a special Firewall program.I do start reading WinSocket and tending to start BSD. I don't want to start with an API like winsock then stuck. So please, I do need a way to accomplish all features such as capturing, dropping or allowing all kinds of LAYERS as well as Intrusion detection.I am a good programmer in C++ but I am new for linux.So, what is the best Linux OS to install and start with and which is the best way to accomodate C++.
I use crontab to execute a bash script every minute and the output is redirected to a log file.In that bash script there is a screen command to start a screen session.When I execute the script manually it works perfect, but with crontab, the screen command is not executed, but the echo's are. Because they are written in the log file...Here's my script:Script removed for violation of LQ Ruleso the script runs perfect when I do it manually, but not with cron...Here's my crontab (sudo crontab -e)

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu, and sound worked fine out of the box. I ran software update, and after the reboot, no sound. it knows there is a sound card, but no sound is coming out of any port. i done everything in the sound problems guide, and nothing worked. My soundcard is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! pci.
Yesterday I updated my ubuntu 8.04, after few months I haven't done it. Sound stops. I tried to remove pulse nothing happened. I installed Alsa mixer...nothing happens (when I open alsamixer, it is blank and if I select "Sound card properties" it crashes). I installed ac97_bus and souncore usinge modconf still no sound.
What can I do? My card is nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio,
I have no sound after upgrading to 11.04. Sound control panel and test speakers emits no sound. The new music player won't play sounds from music CDs either.I thought I had listened to a music CD since upgrading early last week, but not sure. I definitely don't have sound today even after rebooting.
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on Toshiba NB100. Following an update about a month ago I now have no sound. A similar fault occurred after an update about 12 months ago. The patch I found on the Toshiba site doesn't work this time. I had a look at 10.04 and this time the sound was fine but no wireless so unfortunately this was no good as a solution.
i am running gigabyte GA-M68M-S2P and AMD sempron 2.7. the problem is when i try to run dual core. it will boot and run for 2mins then it crashes. single core runs perfect.
I just installed 9.10 Karmic Koala and everything was kosher. I installed Amarok and the libxine plugins etc and was getting sound and able to play my mp3s, I let the update manager run and voila now without any sound. Machine is a gateway desktop using Realtek High Definition Audio.
Since about a few weeks, I have a problem with the sound on my Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit. From any application it would simply provide noise instead of the real sound. The motherboard is working fine and providing sound under Vista. Initially, I then managed to change the settings in System-> Sound from Auto to one of the options, which provided for a decent test result. Now this is not working anymore either ... so I only get noise out of my speakers.
After running an update yesterday my sound stopped working. Here is the log that I found in synaptic.

I wasn't able to find which one of these could possibly cause the problem.
