    Installation Laptop ASUS Z83T

    2) Installation of Kubuntu :

    For my installation I use a AMD64 kubuntu Installation CD, and it works well.

    So Download the CD or DVD for AMD64 :

    choose the right mirror here :
    http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php

    and take AMD64 version.

    After you have burn your kubuntu iso, the installation process is very simple.
    Put your new CD/DVD in the CD tray and boot your laptop on it

    !!! Don't forgot to let your bios boot on CD/DVD !!!

    in fact, the liveCD/DVD must run An X Window system with KDE, click on "install" Icon and let the installation wizard drives you.

    !!! Don't forgot to save your Hard Drive before start!!!

    the installation take approximately 1 hour, reboot.

    After reboot, you can see you have an usable system but some hardware doesn't work after install.

    Hardware OK :
    System Base => OK work fine
    Wired Network Card => OK work fine
    Wireless Network Cards => bluetooth and wifi => OK work fine

      3) Sound Card Installation :

      Your sound card is a Realtek HDA Intel (ALC880) provide by Nvidia
      The Alsa Drivers and Libraries gave by default in kubuntu packages doesn't work with this audio card.
      The current alsa version in kubuntu is 1.0.13.
      You need at least the 1.0.14rc* for your sound can work

      To do this you have to download the lastest alsa sources at :http://www.alsa-project.org/

      at least get these sources :
      • alsa-driver
      • alsa-lib
      • alsa-utils



      copy the archives to /usr/src and uncompress them here :
      Code:
      sudo cp * /usr/src
sudo tar -xjvf alsa-*1.0.14*tar.bz2
      so now, you have to build your new alsa driver :
      Code:
      cd alsa-driver*
sudo make clean
sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes
sudo make
sudo make install
      Build Alsa Libraries :
      Code:
      cd ../alsa-lib*
sudo make clean
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
      and now Alsa Utils :
      Code:
      cd ../alsa-utils*
sudo make clean
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
      Stop the alsa-base and alsa-utils daemon :
      Code:
      sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound stop
      Run the alsaconf utility :
      Code:
      sudo alsaconf
      choose the hda-intel card and let the utility works for you.

      You have to add an option to the snd-hda-intel module in /etc/modprobe.d/sound file ( if the file doesn't exist, just create it):
      Code:
      sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/sound
      add the line :
      Code:
      options snd-hda-intel model=asus
      your sound card is now configure, before reboot delete, if exist, the ~/.asoundrc file :
      Code:
      rm ~/.asoundrc
      Now you can reboot and you have sound now normally
