Ubuntu 7.04 'Fiesty Fawn' Released

[Possible]

I think its CTrl + Shift + Left or Right arrows. Or simply click the virtual window bar at the bottom... (If it ain't Ctrl, Shift, try Alt etc)

Is anyone using 'beryl'?
I just installed it and emerald theme manager via Synaptic but don't see any beryl icon. How do I use its features?

 

[Possible]

do a sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager to get beryl. And then type beryl-manager in the terminal to get that icon.

For VIsta themes,search google?
or art.gnome.org is also a good site:
*art.gnome.org/search.php?search_text=vista&search_type=all

repositories are included in the config file /etc/apt/sources.list
there are custom repositories for different packages for eg; beryl etc
u can try if u got feisty my sources.list:

:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# # If you get GPG errors with this sources.list, locate the GPG key in this file
# # and run these commands (where KEY is replaced with that key)
# #
# # gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys KEY
# # gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

Ok.. I didn't want to start a new thread, so continuing here.. I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my PC oday morning and have been experimenting since then.. I have one problem right now..
I have a Creative 7.1 SB Live soundcard connected to 5.1 speakers.. But I am not getting a surround sound, meaning only the front left and right speakers are being used.. How do I enable a 5.1 output..??
I've found that the drivers (ca0106) are installed, so no issues on that part. Can someone clarify..??

 

[amitava82]

did you check volumes in alsamixer? open console then run "alsamixer" make sure you don't have any channel muted or volume is turned down.. now My problem is I'm not getting any sound from center speaker.. could not find any solution..
