DSL Tips and Tricks :: sound?

ok i just noticed when i type in modprobe sound it shows a bunch of things then at th eend it says insmod sound failed this might have somethign to do with it?

and where do prt screen shots go, like what folder thing. so i can show you exactly whast going on when i type in certain things.

Highlight the text in the terminal and use the centre mouse button (both mouse buttons at the same time on two button mouse) to paste the text into your post. This will allow people to examine what is going on.

here is what happens when i type in modprobe sound

Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ modprobe sound
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o: create_module: Operation not permitted
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o: insmod sound failed

You need to perform the operation as root. I mentioned it before but I was not exactly clear on it. use sudo first.

dsl@box:~$ sudo modprobe sound

IE: First type in:

sudo su

Then your user prompt should no longer be "dsl@box:" for the next set of commands.
