Re: Jack and SB-awe soundcard
I have used Creative's Sound Blaster cards for as long as I've had a PC and never a problem. DOS, Winsloth and several distros of Linux. The price is right here.

Did that. 'Only effect seems to be I lost my shortcuts on the "Kicker" line. I could replace all but Kmail as it must not be a "stock" item of gnome.

Re: Need Help.. BAD!
Hi Robin, I have replaced the nVidia card setting in xorg.conf with the proper one that worked with 6.06. But no luck. I "Slocated" for .gnome2 and had so many that I'm reluctant at this time in removing it from /home/ray/.gnome2 until I can know more about it. It has many sub-dirs as "/home/ray/.gnome2/ " as well. I am ignorant as to its usage and fear to render myself unable to enter the OS at all... /home/ray/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 Is there as well. Same caveats apply... ?

Re: Need Help.. BAD!
Hi Michael, You've got it! I'm trying to figger how to run the CD as "Live" and do as he suggested, saving the xorg.conf file and replacing in the resident OS. Guess a trip into Winsloth is my next move??? Thanks for that and please "stay tuned", as they say. :-) Ray On Saturday 26 January 2008 15:34, D.

Help for upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 7.1 gutsy
I don't know if this is the proper forum... But, I have upgraded my Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to Studio 7.1 using a CD brought to me by a friend. I ran the validity test on the CD and it passed. ALL works very well except; ALL GUI screens/sub-screens have TEXT shown only as clear blocks. ie; 3x6 (5x9?) pixelations(?) In Icon names and Kicker Line. This, of course, renders the desktop all but unusable. During boot, I see a line; "Could not init /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/Truetype" Yet, when I enter the following from a terminal, it appears valid with many entries displayed... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType# The SET command shows the path as; PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin I would certainly hate to have to reinstall 6.06 and lose a lot of work put into the OS over the year(s) If anyone has some ideas I could surely use them as this has gone on for nearly a week and I have gotten nowhere, so far.
