Hello,
I'm fairly new to linux and I'm still learning how to use it. I just
connected to the internet using Win2K internet sharing connection. A
great accomplishment for a newbie, I suppose... Anyway, ahead with my
problem...
I just installed the current version Linux-Mandrake on my Compaq Armada
1750. The installation was smooth, I did not encounter any problems.
The only thing that I am not happy with is that there is no sound. Has
anyone found any sound drivers for linux? I have tried to look up the
information on the sound drivers for Windows, but I haven't been
successful in retrieving any information. Besides the sound thing, I am
having problems logging out of a KDE session. Whenever I try to logout,
it just sits there. I can still move the mouse around and everything,
but nothing will open. I have left the computer alone for about 10
minutes to see if it needed more time to logout. Has anyone else had
similar problems like this? Is there a set of steps that I should take
before logging out??
I should mention that I am using a 3COM 10/100 LAN Cardbus (model
3CCFE575BT) for my network connection. I have noticed that when I have
the card inserted into a slot, it takes longer to enter a KDE session.
Could this be the cause to the problems that I'm having?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
