hi,
First I want to thank you guys for this wonderful os, the best i've ever seen, the fact that it is so small, in worsk very good on old pc's, and last but not least, it's graphics are better than windows xp pro. (and free!)
So, I'm a noob when it comes to linux so I have a few questions.
First of all, I got the same problem as the other ones here. SOUND, I can't get it to work, i ded the sudo commands, nothing happened. But then i wanted to try to add this:
| Quote | I have an Armada 1750, and was able to get sound to work by changing only the Audio settings in BIOS and using Haohmaru's sudo commands.
Actually in my case the only BIOS change I made was the IRQ, from "9" to "5".
It may be important that this laptop has never seen XP, only has NT on it (and, of course, my DSL CD!) |
so the bios settings, but i can't get into bios, so that's another problem (beware, this is a compaq armada 1700, so the bios is not on a chips, it's on the harddisk).
Then, I have some more problems:
- I installed amsn-094.uci , so that's nice, an msn messinger for linux, but everytime i reboot, it's gone, and i need to click on it n emelfm.bin so it activates again (is it possible to make keep it on active )
-i downloaded openoffice, but then, when i installed it, i can't see any buttons or something like that, who can help me, sry for the noob questions
thanks,
greetings from Belgium
/edit: i found it to launch openoffice, but now, how do i create a shortcut?
