Sound in Gutsy

Posted by Alan in Technology

Ubuntu LogoBelow I mentioned that I was having issues with sound under Ubuntu’s new release, Gutsy Gibbon. After some digging, it turns out that the module I need for my soundcard (snd_hda_intel) was moved to another package, which wasn’t installed during the upgrade process.

If anyone else has the same issue, then after doing:

sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-386

and rebooting, everything seems to be working again.

    Glad to hear you got it all working in the end.
    Incidentally, did you try Elive?
    And if you did, how’d you find it?

    I did indeed. I tried out the liveCD to get a look at it.

    Its a fantastically pretty OS. The creator’s really gone all out on the eye candy and I was really impressed by just how nice it looked.

    Must get the latest Enlightenment installed in my Ubuntu setup.

    Good =]

    Get back to me on your efforts in including Enlightenment as an alternate desktop manager in Ubuntu, as I’ve only been able to grab Enlightenment 6.0, although that was only through Synaptic…

    Yeah. I think I installed the stable version a while back, but this new version looks incredibly nice.

    I found this thread linked from the Enlightenment site:

    HOWTO: installation of E17 from CVS

    Looks like getting it installed will be interesting ;-)

    Well, this seems an easy enough way of doing it.
    Since all the scripts are there so we don’t have to waste brain cells thinking of what to type.

    However, Sod’s Law dictates that a thousand and one different things can and will probably go wrong. The next time I install Ubuntu, however, I will definitely try this. Enlightenment 17 is the only desktop manager that has ever, and I mean out of them all, actually worked with my laptop battery. No Linux has ever worked with my wireless card yet, alas.. I’m back with Windows since my last Hard Drive partition table crash, and not yet eager to install a distro yet. However, when I do, I just know I’ll use Ubuntu Studio. Its my favourite, I mean c’mon, look at this beautiful default theme.

    The black shading reminds me of the Vista theme

    Logon screen, tis a thing of beauty to see on your screen.

    Hmm.. In looking for screenshots, the newest version of Ubuntu Studio looks somewhat.. different.. …almost a step backwards rather than a step forward..

    Basic black..?

    This is a logon screen..?

    Due to the.. questionable changes in the program, I recommend downloading from Softpedia, as they should still have the other version. Then, just install the updates.

    For some reason, the date on this distro submission is the same as the release of the newer version, but the screenshots are the same as the other. Ah well, if the new version doesn’t have the same theme as the original, then either it’ll be an option, or it’ll be available to download and install somewhere else. I’m sure this theme can be used in other Ubuntu versions too

    I see what you mean in those screenshots. That’s a really funky looking theme. I especially like the (first) logon screen.

    Another candidate for a LiveCD trial for me I reckon :-)

    I think I’m going to try installing E17 from that dev script tonight. Wish me luck ;-)

    I wish you luck, my friend, but alas, I must impart some sad news to you.
    Due to the amount of programs, being a multimedia based distro (which is actually a lame excuse -_-;;) the Ubuntu Studio disc is not a LiveCD, but a simple (but effective) installer. But very worth it. Hm.. actually.. The newer version may be a LiveCD, but I don’t know. One thing I always liked about Ubuntu Studio, was after installation, you could choose your default resolution before first use, which was great for me and my widescreen laptop, since the LiveCD Ubuntu was crap for this!
