Saw that I had no sound. Also saw that from adept & synaptic there did not seem to be any sound installed with the OS, so installed (?) the alsa packages that seemed to fit this machine (no brand-specific files for HP, etc.). None of these made a difference or, as I remember, even showed up in any guis. Then I saw wiki-alsa troubleshooting page and followed the directions for installing alsa components (mixer,..) Now I did not log the changes, and the page seems to have changed since I used the instructions on it, but the terminal commands, as stored, that have to do with it all are as follows. As far a the kernel goes, I thought the whole affair was about installing modules distinct from the kernel itself, but maybe I have the wrong idea of the kernel as being a discrete, read-only, "unmoved mover" in the software hierarchy. lspci sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14.46 sudo mkdir -p ~/Desktop/alsa* sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa sudo ls sudo cp ~/Desktop/alsa* sudo mv ~/Desktop/alsa* /usr/src/alsa sudo tar xjf alsa-driver*.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*.tar.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-util*.tar.bz2 cd alsa-driver* sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intelsudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel sudo make sudo make install cd ../alsa-lib-1.0.* sudo ./configure sudo make installsudo make install sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev blessings on all who read this! r.e. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
