Two Lenny problems
There is no sound from any of the ports on the computer. System Profiler
says the multimedia audio controller is an Intel 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW,
and a Creative Labs SB Audigy LS, but only the Intel shows up on the Sound
Preferences dialog window as Intel ICH6-IEC958. The sound hardware is
good: it works on a machine running Windows 7 Ultimate and another machine
running Windows XP Pro. When I try to test the system sounds, an error
message says the Gnome Audio Package is not installed, but there is no
such package in Aptitude nor Synaptic. What must be done to get sound to
work?
The second problem concerns installing Opera 10.10. I downloaded the
Debian-Linux version of Opera 10.10 (opera_10.10.4742.gcc4.qt3_i386) to
the /home/cecil folder, opened a terminal window, issued an install
command (install opera_10.10.4742gcc4.qt3_i386 /home/cecil), and nothing
happens. Probably should have been to some bin folder, but which? If
not, what must be done to install the package? In Kubuntu 9.10 just
double-clicking the file installs the package, why is Lenny so obtuse?
