How do you install an audio driver in Ubuntu 9.04?
ALSA drivers are built into the kernel. Virtually every that can be used in Linux already has a driver in the kernel. The fact that you are even looking indicates that your sound card is very likely unsupported.
the way I did it was install windows first, then use the Linux CD (preferably a live CD) to do the Linux installation. During the installation it will run a partition manager, and from there you can select the drive to use for the installation. It will create a bootloader (grub, lilo) on the 1st disk so it knows where to find the 2 different operating systems.
Obviously, its because you didn't finish upgrading. If you were in the process of hot rodding your car, and you had ripped out the engine but hadn't put a new one in, would you wonder why the car didn't start up? Partially upgraded = broken. Services and programs are turned off or left in an inconsistent state during upgrading. Not completing the process can leave some things non-functional.
What is the main meaning of uBuntu?
"I am what I am because of who we all are." (From a translation offered by Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee.)
Does Ubuntu Linux recognize Windows folders on external media?
Yes. Ubuntu can read files and directories created by a Windows system.
Can you run Ubuntu on top of Windows?
There are a few methods you can use to run Ubuntu "on top of " Windows:
1. Virtual machines
Virtual machines behave basically just like a real computer, except they run in a window. Running an operating system in one provides the best possible performance without dual-booting. Things like graphics acceleration will be extremely limited or non-existent, however.
2. Emulators
Emulators like QEMU and Bochs can be used to run Ubntu on an emulated machine. This is much slower than a virtual machine, and is thus usually only useful for debugging or for running Ubuntu for a non-native platform, such as PowerPC or ARM.
3. Cooperative Linux (not recommended)
Cooperative Linux runs a Linux kernel as a process on Windows. The reason I don't recommend this is because:
A. It is more difficult to set up than the other methods.
B. It is not supported by Canonical, and thus you cannot file bug reports.
C. It will require installing several pieces of software (such as a terminal emulator and an X server).
D. It has the potential for corrupting your Windows installation.
What is the default screen resolution for Ubuntu?
It does not have a default screen resolution. If it detects your graphics card and monitor correctly, it will use its resolution automatically. If not, it will probe different VESA resolutions to find one that works, such as 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, or even 640 x 480.
Where can one find help with using Ubuntu with virtual machine software?
You can find information on how to use virtual machine software under Ubuntu on several websites such as Ubuntu Documentation, Ubuntu Forums and Download Squad.
How do you enable the mouse in ubuntu virtual machine?
Clicking inside the virtual machine window should "grab" the mouse and allow you to operate the window inside. Depending on the virtual machine, it may also have additional drivers ("guest additions") that can be installed in the guest OS to allow seamless mouse movement between it and the host.
Does switching to Ubuntu remove your files?
Not if done properly, but there's always a chance of user mistakes, as well as computer glitches, so always backup your data first. In fact, everyone should regularly backup their data!
Many people choose to 'dual boot', which means having Linux and Windows installed at the same time, and then you can just boot into whichever one you want to use.
A dual boot installation that goes smoothly will not erase any data, but again, make a backup to be safe.
If, on the other hand, you decide to delete Windows and only have Linux installed, for many people, this would mean that an installation would erase data, so a backup would be necessary before installing.
Another situation that applies to many people, are those who have multiple Windows partitions, where, for example, one partition would contain Windows and programs, and another partition would contain data, such as music, movies and office files.
In that case, a Linux installation could be guided to overwrite and install on just the main Windows partition, and not the data partition. However, some data is still typically found on a main Windows partition, such as any data on the Windows Desktop and in the My Documents folder. That data would need to be copied over to the data partition before installing.
(Note: I reference locations found in Windows XP. These may be different in later versions such as Vista and Seven)
Always get at least FIVE good opinions when considering major computer modifications, such as installations and deletions! Play it safe!
What are the uses of terminal ubuntu?
the terminal can be a strong tool in the right hands if one knows what they are doing they can do in ten minutes what may take an hour or more by going through gui (Graphical User Interface) menus you can automate mundane tasks and keep resources used much lower by only passing necessary commands.
Where can you get the game'Book Worm' download for Ubuntu Linux?
That isn't one of the programs that is designed to run natively through linux. You can try to install it using wine (at a terminal type wine <file name>. However there is no guarantee that it will work.
This assumes of course, that you already have wine installed. If not, go to System > Administration > Synaptic package manager and search for wine. and install it. once it is installed go to a terminal and type
winecfg
this will set up wine for you, and then you can type in
wine <application name>
How do you change the allowed space for Ubuntu?
When you first install, you will be presented with a choice on how you want to partition. The options, if you have Windows, are to automatically resize Windows and use the space freed for Ubuntu, format the entire drive automatically, or choose how you want the partitions set up (manual). Under the resize option,there will be a slider to give more or less space to Ubuntu and less to Windows.
After you've installed Linux, you can change the partitions either by using the manual option in the installer, or using another Linux LiveCD designed for this purpose, like GParted.
How do you fix a computer that crashed while running a dual os?
SuperGrubDisk is the most popular dual boot and Grub repair utility. There are different versions so dig around. See below for link
he is a Finnish software engineer best known for initiating the development of the Linux kernel. He now acts as the project's coordinator.
What file systems does Ubuntu support?
Ubuntu supports a large number of file systems, including ext2 (read/write), ext3 (read/write), ext4 (read/write), ReiserFS (read/write), JFS (read/write), XFS (read/write), FAT (read/write), and NTFS (read, additional software available for writing).

Why memory management is important?
The speed of processor is very high in comparison to that of user and input/output device.... So if processor is made to wait and work in the speed to user and I/O devices the system becomes very slow... Hence, in order to make full use of processor's speed MEMORY MANAGEMENT is done
I think I broke my computer OS somehow. How do I fix it?
To clarify, I executed “sudo apt remove python*” in my terminal, and now all it’s doing is showing me a black screen with a sign-in prompt in the top-left. What have I done, and how do I fix it?
How many lines of code on average can a programmer writetest and document?
The answer will vary depending on the development environment being used. Some development environments e.g. Microsofts Visual Studio, allow developers to write macros that will write code for them. I have a 3000 line macro that I use to build class libraries. Each time the macro is run it will write 1500 lines of code so is this code I have written after all, I wrote the macro that wrote the code?
