I'm having trouble with the keyboard on the Packard Bell EasyNote R4. I'm using the standard xorg driver that gets configured by the Debian Lenny installer and the problem is that the keys sometimes generate weird keycodes or something, causing unwanted behaviour of the window manager (XFCE 4.4) such as creating a new terminal window or shading windows. Could the keyboard be faulty or does someone know of a driver that would work better with this model?
I cannot install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35. Version 9.04 was OK. After the installation I get a black screen? I installed 9.04 again.
My brother installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Packard Bell Easynote NJ65. He has a wired home connection, which seems not to be working now. It was working with the same machine under Vista. What are the first places I should look? Any hints or clues or people with similar issues would be most welcome.
I'm using a Packard Bell Easynote Tn36 laptop, and I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 10.10 and the wireless network card, (probably because of lack of driver). I.e. it is disabled.
I have Packard Bell easynote tn36 and I used to use ubuntu 10.10 and then when I upgrad it to ubuntu 11.04 the wireless doesn't work (disable) and I can't press the botton of Enable wireless.
The graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT220) was not detected at startup, but the open source driver function quite good. The display (TFT-LCD Monitor HP 2009v 20") has a good resolution altough the screen resolution is smaller than expected, and a frequency of 70Hz (that would be correct to 60Hz). There's no problem, I have found a tool for install NVIDIA drivers in 1-click: NVIDIA - openSUSE (with the official owner NVIDIA driver the display resolution is 1600x900 and the frequency is 50Hz).
The only problem I have found is that sometimes (specially if I open many applications) when I press the shut down or reboot button, the OS logout me instead shut down or reboot itself. When I login again, I can shut down or reboot without any kind of problems (is it a problem of stack?). But the most worrying aspect is that, altough I installed the official owner NVIDIA driver, sometimes when I login again the video shows me only wavy lines.
I just tested a HP DM4 in a computer store with a Mint DVD live boot disc and the laptop worked well with one exception that gives me Sony shivers (going back a few years with serious incompatibility in certain wifi cards). The wifi card did not appear to work and with store alarms going off (nothing to do with my tweaking bios settings honest) I didn't have time to run any console commands to investigate the wifi card.
I have a problem with headphone sound with my Ubuntu 10.04 on laptop Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820 TG. When I insert the headphones, the sound from speakers stop, but there is no sound in the headphones. Manipulating with the alsamixer did not help. Modifying /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf also did not help.
I cannot get sound out of the headphone port on a laptop. Headphones are plugged in, and sound comes out of the internal speakers. Windows behaves normally (sound switches to headphones when headphones are inserted).
It did work in Linux at one point, but something changed, we're just not sure what. Rebooting doesn't fix. This appears to occur whether or not PulseAudio is running. code...
This works in Windows: You plug headphones in, the internal speakers stop making noise, and noise comes out the head phones. Windows says I only have two sound cards: the HDMI port (which I don't care about) and the "sound card", which it claims is a "Conexant Pebble High Definition SmartAudio" In Windows, both the internal speakers and the headphone jack show up as one soundcard, which in my experience, is typical. (This is a laptop)
I have a Fujitsu Siemans Amilo A1630 installed with squeeze and am having problems making the headphone jack work with ALSA, there is no sound from this port and jack auto-detect does not work. All drivers are present and correct and necessary modules for my sound device appear to be loading properly, the device seems fully functional except for headphones.
I am using Dell Vostro 1520 with Debian Lenny installed. My problem is that I am getting sound through both my headphone and laptop speakers. But it works fine in Windows XP.
I just installed FC13 on my HP laptop and everything has been working great with one exception. When I plug in my headphones, it doesn't mute the speakers and there is no sound in the headphones. I've checked alsamixer and the gnome-volume-control and all necessary channels are unmuted and turned up. But I have no idea how to proceed. I'm afraid to make any configuration changes because I don't want to lose the sound completely. Here is the output from lspci
Code: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller
All of my audio is working great now on Open Suse 11.2: MP3s, Skype,Flashplayer etc.all are working great. There is only one strange thing that is happening, when I plug in my headphones I get audio coming out of my laptop and my headphones! How can I get my audio to come out of my headphones only when I plug them in?
I am using Dell Vostro 1520 with Debian Lenny installed. My problem is that I am getting sound through both my headphone and laptop speakers. But it works fine in Windows XP.

My laptop's (Acer Travelmate P243-M-6456) headphone jack had been working fine, and has no issues when booted into Windows, but it suddenly stopped working.
I've gone through alsamixer, and the volume is up, and nothing seems to be muted, and I've tried to do everything I could throughout the sound options in the Gnome System Settings.
Here is my ALSA information script output : [URL] .....
I'm running 10.04 on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505 laptop. Normally, when I plug my headphones in, all sound is diverted to them. I haven't found anything in sound preferences that changes this.(Under Sound Preferences, Output tab, there's a dropdown called Connector.It has options: "Analog Heaphones", "Analog Output" and "Analog Speakers" but they don't seem to make a difference.) I'd like to leave my headphones plugged in all day and setup my machine to play all sounds through my speakers (including Skype ringing), except Skype calls, which should play through my headphones. Skype has a feature to split the ringing and call sounds, i.e. play them on different devices, but the only option in each dropdown is "PulseAudio Server (local)".
My headphones were working in lucid 10.04 till last update, now its not working? my application like mocp - terminal based music player works fine with headphones, but vlc is not working? How to get vlc work with headphone??
Also there is no application under sound->applications tab while i play VLC using headphone.
The problem I'm having is that when I plug in my headphones into my asus g60vx laptop I do not have sound, however if I unplug them I have sound through my laptop speakers. [URL]. Ubuntu 10.10
I have an imac and i recently decided to dual boot Ubuntu as well. The sound is fine on the mac partition but the internal speakers dont work on the Ubuntu side. headphones do work but the volume is oddly low Nothing is muted on alsamixer, and I think i have the right driver for my sound card
I have tried every forum that exists, but I have been sadly frustrated in setting up this netbook's headphone jack and internal microphone to work. Basically the speakers work fine, but as soon as I plug in headphones nothing happens, then I unplug the headphones and the speakers work fine. I tried adding the following two lines to the /etc/modprob.d/alsa-base.conf options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack options snd-hda-intel model=dell-vostro enable=1 index=0 one of the other forums told me to do this, but no luck.Also I tried this too: [URL]...
I'm using an HP Pavilion dv7 and so far I've been unable to get my headphone jacks in the front to function at all. I've browsed various forums for the last couple days trying to find a solution but have been unsuccessful so far.
what is the best/easiest way to install a all-in-one device from Hewlett Packard (hp)?Is there a way/makes it sence to set it up via Yast? I do not know why this wiki.How to set-up a HP printer - openSUSE.shout be "obsolete" (at least not for all-in-one printers).And for "only" printers: Is there an other way including bidirectional communication (ink etc.?).
This is for all of you who are having problems getting sound out of the PC Speaker, as far as getting the system beep or system bell. In Karmic (9.10), a change was made to get rid of the system beeps and disable the pc speaker. Unfortunately for people who liked (or more likely need) the beeps, the changes occurred in multiple places and are not that easy to find. The pc speaker and beeps were disabled in response to this bug. I believe there were other bugs dealt with here because not everything that was done seems to be covered, if that makes sense.
This bug was created in response, in hope of getting the beeps turned back on. This post by one of the developers has some pretty comprehensive instructions for getting the beep back on. I want to note right now, that I did not have to apply his patch to get the beeps back on where I wanted them. It may already have been included in an update, or was obviated by something else I did. I realize this is pretty fragmented, and you may or may not want or need to go as far as I did with this. When I get a chance to do a new clean install of Karmic (maybe in a vm or something) I intend to go back over these instructions and try to create a synthesis of them that should work for certain. If I can, I'll figure out a way to script it.
One other thing I should point out. I didn't get the bug where I had to reload the pcspkr module on every boot, so that must be fixed. (I did have to remove it from the blacklist so it would be loaded on boot, but I didn't have to kill and reload it or add it to rc.local like some people did in those descriptions). I also did not get the bug of an endless loop of beep sound or multiple beep sounds, but that only happened to people who followed the directions to change the system beep to another sound.
I've recently installed Xubuntu Lucid Beta2 on my new laptop. But I'm unable to turn the bell back on. The 'pcspkr'-module is removed from the blacklist and is loaded. However, 'alsamixer' doesn't show me any volume-options for the beep. However, 'echo -e "a"' still doesn't make a sound. I've installed the 'beep'-package, and it works, thus I am assuming that the hardware-bell itself does WORK fine. It's just deactivated/muted somewhere, and I can't find the option to turn it back on.
The computer bell isn't working on a CentOS machine. I know it isn't a hardware problem. I tried "xset b on" and "xset b 100", which is the only thing I can think of.
