Guest Leviticus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Help!!! How do I access the root window? specifically ubuntu... Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 if it ends with a .tar issue the following command: tar -xvf cedegafilename.tar this will extract the files inside the archive, perhaps a README or INSTALL files would be extracted as well for you to read, if none of it exists, look for some .sh or .bin files they could be the setup.exe we have in the win32 world.in case you have a .tar.gz file, change the -xvf with a -xzvf or if its .tar.bz2, the -xvf should be -xjvf<{POST_SNAPBACK}>this is all in root/console window?

RTFM so to speak...also, softwares for your Live CD can either be found on-site or compiled from source (again depending on your distro or CD... ). Good luck on Linux!!! Now I have a question regarding Linux or rather ALSA in Linux...I downloaded the latest kernel source 2.6.13.2 and have already compiled and recompiled it a few times...about 8 times in the past 2 days I believe (for a Linux newbie such as myself, that's quite a nice number... :cool: )...now my question is, HOW DO I GET ALSA SUPPORT ON THIS THING?!?!?! I have already enabled the ALSA support as module, and again as built-into the kernel and have enabled and disabled this and that but all I get when I run the test application of Point2Play is that ALSA is either not supported or not configured properly on my BIOS!!! I already compiled version 2.6.12.2 earlier and I remember that I was successful in enabling ALSA support (or at least get it recognized by the P2P app...) but now the solution avoids me...can anyone help?
