    Re: Kubuntu 9'04(64bit) fresh install on new HP dv3-2155mx laptop

    Please take a look at this.

    /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
    There is only the line that I wrote.
    "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1"

    But in
    /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
    I find this.
    # autoloader aliases

    Was I suppose to put the line in alsa-base or alsa-base.conf

      to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add:

      options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
      options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
      options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1

        Is this right?

                That's a hard one to answer, klrvl.

                A couple weeks ago I was helping my brother-in-law setup the Kubuntu 9.04 CD I sent him. I was talking him through it on the phone. He kept running into a world of trouble trying to type commands I as dictating to him so I asked my sister to do the typing for him and we got it installed and running. I also talked her through the apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade to bring their computer up to the latest versions. Then I had her install Skype. After she got Skype going and set up an account I make Voice/Video connection with my brother-in-law. I'd send the commands and files I wanted him to execute throug Skype chat and had him hold the webcam pointing at the screen so I could see where he was pointing his mouse and guide him to click on the right buttons, etc... It never ceases to amaze me in how many ways one request can be interpreted. In your case sound doesn't work so Skype wouldn't be very useful.

                Anyway, I saw where you were at LinuxQuestions.org a coupe days ago talking about attempting to install Slackware, and you said that Kbuntu 9.10 Alpha works "out of the box" on your compter. I have a suggestion: Install Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha3 on your laptop and ride along with it as it continues to improve, goes beta and then Gold. I did that with Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha5 on this laptop and I am now at KDE4.2.4 (you'd be at 4.3) with the *.30 kernel and everything rocks!

                BTW, the guy on that site who said that K3B doesn't work well with KDE4 is blowing smoke. K3B is in the repository and I installed it. I use it all the time on this KDE4.2.4 installation because I burn anywhere from 7 to a dozen CD/DVD's per week burning ISOs of distros and audio CDs of church services and it works perfectly!

                  GreyGeek, I would be so lost without you.
                  Okay, I tried:
                  sudo aptitude update followed by sudo aptitude dist-upgrade(no Koala)
                  sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade(no Koala)
                  sudo update-manager -d
                  Gave me
                  "sudo: update-manager: command not found"
                  That's funny, Synaptic shows that update-manager-core is installed.
                  Downloaded "karmic-desktop-amd64.iso"
                  Now what do I do?
                  Google "how to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10" only got me the the above commands as far as I've seen.
                  Any thoughts?

                    In your case you don't want to go the "upgrade" route because, for what ever reason, you have not obtained a clean install of 9.04.

                    I would download the i386.iso and burn it and then run it as a LiveCD and check out how your sound, video, USB, etc... works.

                    I am replyinig to use using Kubuntu 9.10 ALPHA3 as I write this. It is KDE4.2.96 aka 4.3 RC2. It features the 2.6.31 kernel. It detected my Intel Mobil Series 4 Chipset (GM45) and I am currently runnning with Active Desktop, wobbly windows and the FPS meter, which shows I idle around 5-10 fps and when I browse actively with Qt's Arora Browser the FPS climbs above 50 fps.

                    On the negative side I've discovered that, on my Sony notebook, the program knetworkmanager can't use my WPA-PSK password to connect to my wireless, so I am currently connected to the Internet via ETH0 and a cat5 cable from my notebook to an ETH port on the back of my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I also tried

                    sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid GreyGeek key s:mypassword
                    but got an error with the password part, so it seems that even iwconfig is affected, or it is the culprit.

                    Intestingly, Karmic appears to run about as fast off the CD as Jaunty runs off the HD.

                    I prefer the Classic Menu and when I right-clicked on the Kmenu icon and selected the classic menu opition a second KMenu Icon appeared and a dialog came up asking me if I wanted to delete the Application Launcher. I clicked Yes and the first KMenu disappeared and the second moved over to take its place.

                    I also noticed that K3b had a configuration icon in the SystemSettings application. I noticed K3b's version number was 1.66.0 "Using KDE 4.3 RC2", so I am assuming that this version is the much awaited KDE4 version of K3b.

                    I found no evidence of MONO libraries installed, but navigating to /usr/share/app-install/desktops with Dolphin, to look at the monodesktop launcher, hung Dolphin.


                    So far, I am finding that it is an excellent continuation of the KDE4.x series.

                    Oh, did I say it was fast! ??
