Sound and Vision - Problems with my computer speakers and video drivers
Hello everyone,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYEOlxcirX0
I'm having two technical issues trying to get Debian (Jessie) set up
running on my Lenovo T430 laptop, and I wanted to ask if someone would
be able to help me out with either.
1. I'd like to upgrade my video drivers (for playing some games on
Steam). I've got an NVIDIA GF108M (NVS 5400M) and tried to run
# aptitude install lib-gl1-nvidia-glx:i386
(Having previously set up i386 architecture)
And, after restarting my computer, my OS would not load. I ended up
reformatting and reinstalling everything. Needless to say (but said
anyway), I'm a little gun-shy about trying that again. Is there a better
way to try and update my video drivers?
2. As part of the whole reformat and reinstall, my computer is no longer
playing anything on its embedded speakers. The headphone jack works just
fine, it's just the embedded speakers. This was also a problem when I
installed (from CD) to Wheezy.
Looking at documentation online, there seems to be a lot of reference to
ALSA, but AFAIK that seems to have been depreciated for Jessie (and the
alsa_base.conf file is not present in /etc/modprobe.d/). Does anyone
have any recommendations?
Thank you for your help,
Paul
