Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synaptic
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, attached is one letter probably giving the solution of my problem, but I feel unable to perform the suggested set up. I am new with Linux/Ubuntu and I would prefer using the updates by synaptic. It was told me that my ALSA drivers were not mature for my sound card and that I should go to the ALSA homepage and download the current driver and lib packages. Going to the suggested web page http://www .alsa-project.org/ I have found: Driver (alsa-driver) 1.0.16 Kernel drivers Firmware (alsa-firmware)1.0.16 Firmware for cards that require it Library (alsa-lib) 1.0.16 Userspace library Plugins (alsa-plugins) 1.0.16 Additional library plugins Eg.jack, pulse, maemo ... Utilities (alsa-utils) 1.0.16 Utilities aplay,arecord,amixer etc Tools (alsa-tools) 1.0.16 Tools PyALSA (pyalsa) 1.0.16 Python bindings for ALSA lib OSS compat lib(alsa-oss)1.0.15 OSS compatibility library Looking into synaptic with the key word "alsa" there were packages like: (alsa-firmware) 1.0.15-2ubuntu4 (alsa-utils) 1.0.15-3ubuntu2 (alsa-tools) 1.0.15-2ubuntu4 (alsa-oss) 1.0.15-1 As you see the version for ALSA is 1.0.16 but using synaptic only 1.0.15. I would feel very uncomfortable to do the manipulation (compilations) on a running system. All trials I have done so far ended in error messages. I have a big lack in knowledge (e. g. I do not know basics like were to put the decompressed files - to the desktop, my home or root directory). Therefore I feel better to wait until the updates were available by synaptic. Please tell me, who is responsible for maintaining the updates or forward my report to this person. Here, I describe not a real bug but my notebook gives no sound / failure to use slmodemd. How long it will probably take to get the required ALSA update by synaptic?
