Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
OK, having some issues now I can't seem to get past. I am trying to install the supposed sound fix for laptops with fiesty. Unbuntu hosts this link at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto Note that this is not a sound issue with any particular application (i.e. Rhythmbox) it applies to all sound, even the test sounds in system-preferences-sound. While my laptop speakers do not work, my headphone jacks do, but with moderate to heavy distortion. I am working with a HP pavilion dv2000 Here is my sound card (according to system-preferences-hardware) is: 82801G (ICH7 FAMILY) High Definition Audio Controller Here is what I did according to these directions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto 1. I downloaded the lastest versions of alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa- utils provided by the link 2. I extracted those files and then moved them into a directory I created /home/lord/Desktop/drivers-installs/ALSA/ They then give me the command sequence: sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa cd /usr/src/alsa sudo cp /home/naaman/installers/alsa/* . sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 3. I changed it to what's below because I assumed /naaman/installers what just arbitrary or personal organazational I also changed the tar xjf command to refer to the files real names which I had located in that directory (but I have tried it both ways: ) sudo mkdir -p /home/lord/Desktop/drivers-installs/ALSA/ cd /home/lord/Desktop/drivers-installs/ALSA/ sudo cp /home/lord/Desktop/drivers-installs/ALSA/* . sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4 sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.132 sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.13 The response to this command sequence is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mkdir -p /home/lord/Desktop/drivers-installs/ALSA/ Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/src/alsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo cp /home/naaman/installers/alsa/* . cp: cannot stat `/home/naaman/installers/alsa/*': No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 tar: alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 tar: alsa-lib-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.14rc1.tar.
