Several Questions about Linux Ubuntu

Asked by pirateesp

Hey guys,

First of all, I am having this problem with my soundcard.
I have a Sweex 5.1 soundcard, and on the CD, there was SCO 02. Could this be the name for the driver? On WIndows, it worked just fine, with the driver included CD.
Now I went over to Linux Ubuntu, and the driver doesn't work anymore because the drivers with in the CD were for Windows. Now can anyone tell me how to install the sound card? I am really new with Ubuntu and I do not understand the installing/downloading thing.

Now with my second problem, I tried to install Kiba-Dock for fun, but it didn't work on my computer.
I think I have done the installation wrong, since I do not know how to install things correctly.

My Linux Ubuntu version is 7.04.

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers,
Pirate Esp.

Hello,

     Try accessing your Restricted Drivers Manager it is located at System->Administrator... and try activating your drivers... That works for me with my video card and sound card.

I've never used kiba but you might try Avant Window Navigator (AWN). It's pretty nice and you can make it look a lot like the Mac bar.

It is a bit light on documentation so you might have to search around a bit for all the tips and tricks. You can find out more here:

Hey,

I could try that instead of Kiba Dock for now,
But as for the sound card problem, I still need an answer.
I really appreciate it that both of you want to help me.

Hello,

Ubuntu Installation

Treviño manages a repo with kiba-dock, These can be accessed by adding the following to your sources.list file: Note: Currently, there are only 32 bit (x86) deb packages available, 64 bit users can use SVN.

   1. Open a Terminal Window.
   2. Type the following:

# sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

   1. If you are using Edgy (6.10) version: Add the following lines to the end of the file:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn

   1. If you are using Feisty (7.04) version: Add the following lines to the end of the file:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

   1. Save and Exit Gedit.
   2. Run from the same terminal window:

# wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock
# sudo apt-get install kiba-dock-dev
# sudo apt-get install kiba-plugins

After installation Run Kiba Settings first then run Kiba Dock...

Hey,

I am really new to the terminal, and I don't seem to understand this.
I have typed # sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
but this did not seem to work.
What have I done wrong?

Well it's not a terminal command, you put this in /etc/apt/sources.list
obtained by running:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

you then place:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

at the bottom.

Hey,

Ah, thanks, this helped.
I think I will open a new answer for my sound problem, since this
has become a bit not understandable.
I thank you all for helping me.
