change the line with defaults:3 to 5
save and reboot

thats weird i wonder why it doesn't work with your sound card why don't you download your windows sound driver then use ndsiwrapper that should do the trick.

@esquire plz do your siblings a favour and hide windows from them as much as possible. pack your pc with lots of eye candy beryl games anything that will make them stick to linux like glue. a piece of advise get the programs they really need and perform some magic . guys if you have a web cam or a nice imaging device its time to pull some crazy stunts with zoneminder. imagine you viewing your house from a remote pc or a suitable mobile phone.

Thanks for those piece of advice. With little eye candy stuff from KDE.org Kubuntu will be smashing because have seen and feel the 6.10 interface men its really cool. Whats zoneminder and where can i get it because gettin a usb webcam is never a problem. Cheerio

well fellow nigerians,
I like this idea about ubuntu. well i requested 4 free cds from their site. I made up my mind because i want to explore linux because i want to be working on it. It seems its the best linux distro 4 beginners. Well I am confused because i saw kubuntu and edubuntu and xubuntu
Are these 3 a difft disto from the ubuntu community?

ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu are all the same the difference is just the way they look and the applications that comes with it. but i'll always recommend kubuntu for new comers. i still have some cds left

This is an interesting piece.But why did u opt for Ubuntu instead of Redhat, i thot that was d coolest distribution.I am planning to install Redhat(making it dual with Win XP) on my laptop soon,so i'd like to know your views and how to go about it.

ubuntu is the best even for beginners what made me prefer windows over linux was red hat 9 and what made me prefer linux to windows was ubutu. Red hat isn't a distro 4 beginners and red hat 9 is outdated

@Christino and adewaleafolabi
Have been trying connect my ubuntu laptop to
my company LAN, the system uses a window
2003 server and runing dhcp. When i connected the
laptop with my interface setting, I could see other
systems on the network but can not connect to the
net. can someone help me out.
|

But can you access the internet?
You may not be able to connect to other systems but you should be able to browse. Secondly, other windows pcs use the network setup wizard, i don't know if there is an equivalent in Ubuntu. Check your workgroup/domain settings because most companies have one. And also if other systems have a DNS server address or default gateway you may need to enter those too.
Can you see your laptop from the other systems?

Whao, am back with my ubuntu, was able to connect to the
net. I had to setup my browser to point to the LAN proxy
address. Also setup the system proxy by editing my .bashrc
file as root. Quite an experience. What is left is connecting
to the LAN printer.
Imagine, using Linux in mist of window users, well, that's the
challenge.

Just installed Ubuntu.
No source headers for the Kernel?!
No built in compiler?!!
INIT doesn't work right off the bat?!
Ubuntu seems to be aimed at marginalising the power user! Its either a GUI-less server or totally bloody useless!!!!! Naija internet connections suck, so sitting around doing apt-get from morning till night after a full install is not my idea of a great OS.
Then there's the whole root disabled on desktop version thing, what?!?!?!?!
I think all this hype is more damaging than helpful to Ubuntu.

dude
sudo has been in unix/linux from the dawn of time
We've always had the option of sudo-ing in distros that respect our intelligence
I don't need some idiot distro *forcing* me to sudo when i want to su
root is disabled by default in ubuntu. You have to re-enable it before you can function like a sensible person
Just to get vmware tools working, I had to battle with kernel recompilation and the inexplicable lack of gcc/devtools/kernelsource headers. What the Hell?!??!?!?! those are the LIFEBLOOD of unix!!!!!! How dare they remove them.
