Ubuntu Hardware Set Up - An Important Step
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). The sound card did not work. I followed almost every “how-to” article I found on-line. None of them worked. It was always an installation failed, sometimes a package was missing, sometimes a dependency problem.
I messed around and finally took one step, and many of the failed steps worked. All of a sudden my laptop had sound and worked fine. It was weird all those failed to mention this step:
- Click “System->Administration->Software Sources”.
- Enter the admin password.
- Check everything under tab “Ubuntu Software”.
- Choose a sever from “Download from”.
- Click Close.
After that, “how to” articles became easier to follow.
