Ubuntu-My new primary OS

first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see *help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound

Make sure PCM is not set too low (Go to Edit>Preferences and select PCM in Volume Manager)

 

[SunnyChahal]

anybody knows hot to isntall DX9.0c?
i tried the method on digg.i copied both the Dll files that were mentioned there in digg and then added the libs in wine too and Dx9 DLL files are there in wine sys 32 folder too but when i try n run wine it gives Dx9.0c error
cedega doesnt run COD4,OB or GUN,gives win installer error with all of em
when i googled i came to know that COD 4 is incompatible with cedega too.though It runs of wine but it need a looooot of steps and patching to be done

 

[gary4gar]

COD4 on wine is not that hard
You just need to install latest wine from GIT,wine patch for COD4 and dx9.0c
More details :*www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+COD4&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games

it works nicely except Multiplayer mode.

*BUMP*
Used Linux till hardy but gave up coz it was buggy.Back with Ibex and it seems all too well altogether!
Ubuntu 8.10 is great.Improved a lot over the previous releases.It's also more stable that Hardy till now
Now I'm gonna shoot my noobish questions.
1.Which is the best music player for Gnome?
2.How to get the curved AWN.I did that quite a while ago and now forgot the procedure.
3.How to get Trash and home icons on screen?
That's all for now.More questions coming up

 

[infra_red_dude]

1) For me its been Exaile
2) AWN Curves, read this: *budirj.blogspot.com/
3) You can either install gtweakui which will give you the options of adding these icons on the desktop or you can do it the manual way:

Run gconf-editor (from Run dialog box - Alt + F2, or terminal) and navigate to 'apps\nautilus\desktop'. Mark the checkbox on whatever icons you want on the desktop.

1 banshee 1.4.1

[SunnyChahal]

Thanks guys!I personally don't like exaile so I'm looking for some alternatives. Wil give Banshee a try.

 

[Dark Star]

If 1.4.1 isn't available add banshee ppa *launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive
