hi guys,

I am a newbie and recently I was troubleshooting my sound - which at the time was crackling - but now I have no sound, to which I sound card is not detected or is deleted.  Can you please help?  I tried following the sound troubleshooting in the manual options for my OS and this is what I got up to.

I really can't stand no sound - no music, no videos, mo' problems.  Anywho, so I have browsed a lot of different areas and I have no access capabilities which may be the problem? In the sound control panel I have no output or no sound cards to configure.

It seems to me the system is recognizing drivers and all that and when looking I'm not I have the right compatitibility either:

The first link shows the troubleshooting I have done in terminal (sorry if it's a bit excessive):

I have attached files for any hopefully helpful information.

I've been testing the 14.04 Ubuntus. Been very impressed with both main Ubuntu and Xubuntu. I'm looking forward to the next new LTS release of Linux Lite. Any idea when we might see an Alpha/Beta/RC early version of Linux Lite?

Awesome new forums guys.  Great work Valtam, ShaggyTwoDope, and Teddy5090.

;D

In this section, you can post anything you like, as long as it doesn't include any inappropriate content. One thing to be aware of: DO NOT advertise, market, or promote any Microsoft / Apple products or any topic that will conflict with the philosophy of Linux, Open Source and Free Software. This is a Linux forum, so it should be made clear. Thank you and happy posting!

I tend to go with smaller, personalized versions of distros.  I joined the LinuxLite community a few months ago when I needed a new distro after the one I was using was discontinued (SolusOS by Ikey Doherty).

I've been using Linux for many years at home, and even got my wife and kids to use it!

I really like the SMF forums and especially in a dark theme.  I like this theme quite a bit, but still had to modify it to be a little darker/simpler (see my sig for link even though the BBCode seems to not work fully).

This is a simple desktop using 3 panel: 2 XFCE panels (bottom left and bottom right) and 1 DockBarX panel (top left).

Conky is used to monitor the system.

Why was Libre Office selected for Linux Lite?

For me I only need a word processor so I uninstalled Libre Office. I installed AbiWord  because I think it is lighter that Libre Office's word processor. I found whenever I wanted to open a word document, I was asked if I wanted to use Libre Office first then something else where I found AbiWord. I have uninstalled AbiWord and reinstalled Libre Office's word processor because I figured there must be a good reason to use it instead of AbiWord.

If I install AbiWord and uninstall Libre Office's word processor, will AbiWord be updated when I update Linux Lite?

Can I change the preferred word processor to AbiWord?

I wonder if a "Thank You" button (like on the LDC forums) would be implemented into these forums?

Hello all,

I was just wondering if some wise person could give a list of the essential customizations to save before doing a clean install of a new version of Linux Lite. 

I've tried Aptik to prepare somewhat. I know some advise backing up the root and home directories, but that seems like overkill - surely there is a small subset of that that is relevant to changes one might want to keep and reinstall?

Thanks!

As Valtam said I had to register again on this new forum after I found it by shortening my old bookmark url.

8) I have been using Linux Lite for about a month and using the two previous forums. I have been getting a lot of help especially from Valtam which I very much appreciate.

I started as a reluctant computer many years ago when my boss said he wanted me to keep doing the job I was assigned but my secretary would no longer type my reports. I would have to type them myself on a computer. So I learned on a DOS computer using an interface I think was called a menu. Got very good at it and help design input programs for the state. (The computer gurus made them work.) I got my own home computer with a "menu" interface over DOS, moved to Windows when it came available. Became the go-to-guy for years on computers at work as long as it did not involve DOS. Went as far as Windows XP Pro at work and XP at home. Finally after getting sick enough of virus, crashes, etc., I tried Linux for a little while then got scared off by Terminal and Synaptic Package Manager. I went to an iMac for home just before Apple stopped using PPC.

Of course now I keep getting notified by Firefox, Facebook, etc. that I need to update my software or I won't be able to use sites in the future but can't because I have a PPC. Had this computer rebuilt as below in 10/08 for my son to run Ubuntu 8.04 but he lost interest in it. Bought a new 24" monitor for this computer so now I am using it. I am not going to buy another Mac now that I am getting comfortable with Linux.

When I started up this computer it update Ubuntu 8.04 to 13.something with the Unity desktop. I hate the Unity desktop but played around with it a little then crashed it and tried Lubuntu for a while. Discovered Linux Lite and bought a DVD burner so I could install it. Linux Lite will be the OS that I am keeping. I tried a couple of dock program but not have figured out how to make the desk top without an extra program look like my Mac. Still learning on it and had to do a reinstall because I messed it up. I still avoid the Terminal because it is too much like DOS for me.
