Ubuntu, love it!

Just installed ubuntu and so far I really like it!

I'm a completley nub at this, haven't used any linux before, but I've gotten some windows applications to run like ventrilo.

I have 1 really big issue the sound, I cannot hear sound when I open ET or ventrilio. I can hear music via youtube on my speakers (not headset) but the volume is really low even if I put it to max.
I've goggled my ass off and the commands that is posted haven't seem to work for me, maybe I've gotta install some plug ins or?

Well, for sound use these commands:
Quotesudo sh -c "echo 'et.x86 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss"
sudo sh -c "echo 'et.x86 0 0 disable' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss"

et-sdl-sound is what you need!
plug the speakers in your onboard soundcard
The prob with ubuntu and other linux stuff is that whenerver you reach a prob and google it, its like 10k different similar problems in an ocean full of different probs and solutions. Havent really tried it for too long but thats my experience with it, and ofc that key things I needed was fucked up as hell didnt help either ;D
Linux is nice but kinda pointless for lambda users like me.
I mean, a stable windows is decent and when you are used to use windows its boring to change.
ofc Linux is nice but i wouldnt change my windows for it.
A dual boot is ok if you really want to try it.
/q plekter sometime i'm actually there ;)
you can hack the shit out of the ppl with linux and you cant get bust3d!

I see what you did there ;]
Easy to get busted :(

Parent
SO NOW YOU ARE TALKING WITH ME?!?!
Parent

Seriously, i haven't been online a lot lately
Parent
can you explain me about wubi? D:
Parent
Wubi is a way to install ubuntu without having to repartition. It installs ubuntu to a big file on your windows partition, and gives you a boot option when you start your computer, so you can select to boot windows or linux.
Parent
why this fucking ubuntu have problems with monitors
my tft can have 60hz at max reso
and on ubuntu its 50hz :(
Parent
what graphics card do you have?
Parent
run "sudo nvidia-settings", set the monitor to be 60hz and make sure "Force GPU Scaling" is unchecked in the monitor section (DFP-0 or something)
Parent
should i also write it to xorg.conf?

btw what i mean is that in system--->screen resolution, when i see 1440x900 which is my max reso, i only have 50hz option
but i will try your method :~>
Parent
btw from where i download the nvidia drivers?
from that hardware drivers or nvidia site? :~<
Parent
