Alright I'm not a total noob but I'm having some issues. I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 5.10 and right now I'm pretty confused.

 

Problems:

 

1. My sound card is seen by the os. Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit, but I dont get any output. I'm going to see if disabling my on-board sound does anything because right now it is enabled.

 

2. I installed Firefox to my desktop [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img] ...I know...it has a folder icon with a lock on it and now i can not remove it. I was hoping I could log on as su and remove it but I dont no the command.

 

3. I would like to code java on my linux box but I also installed the SDK to my desktop and can't remove that also...

 

Thanks in advance...

yeah one soundcard at a time is recommended. also check alsamixer and verify that nothing is set to MUTED (scroll all the way to the RIGHT) press M to mute/unmute

that means you tried to install it as another user, possibly root, to give yourself ownership of the file/folder login as root and do

 

chown -R anyweb:anyweb /path/to/dir/andfiles

 

where anyweb:anyweb is user/group
