Graham, I have operated an HP laptop very much like yours with Ubuntu (desktop version), and it performed flawlessly with both audio and video. Very likely, the Linux audio drivers that run your soundcard need to be adjusted. The Ubuntu forums are your best resource - very few people on this forum can help you, because PG Music software is not compatible with Linux. This thread will get you the information you need: Ubuntu audio

If you installed Lucid 10.04 this has been reported by some. Be happy it's only audio. When i upgraded to 10.04 it hosed my whole system as it booted up to a totally Black screen. Video card issue. Also VERY common complaint with 10.04

Hi John,
Something like that happened to me a couple of upgrades ago with Ubuntu. These days, I never upgrade. I simply re-install. Since I have a separate /home partition, it's not a problem because all my settings (email, internet, etc.) are stored in /home. It's only the root directory that needs to be formatted during the re-installation process.

Noel, Yeah same here /home on separate partition. Lucid took a giant step forward in the graphics arena however that rendered some of the old machines like mine with a problem. They have a work around for it but i had to reinstall 9.1 and this does what I need so I'll sit still for a few months. 9.1 will have support until 4/2011.
Have you installed 10.04?

Graham Don't limit your choices to only Ubuntu. Download and burn other Live Cd distibutions and then test each one for functionality before installing it. You will find a list of possible distros at http://distrowatch.com/ from which to choose. Personally I prefer those that have a long term support (LTS). I have been using Mint 5 (supported through April 2011) for my everyday internet Pc, so I still have a while to go before I'm forced into even considering an upgrade. By the way, if your Pc is too old and slow for the newer releases, you might check out and test some of the distros, like Puppy Linux, which are designed for older Pcs and their limitations.

Mac, Yes you are right about drivers. It's just like when Vista came out. This new version doesn't have drivers that support older hardware.This is kind of contrary to what Linux has been all about. If I'm going to have to upgrade my computer it'll be to run Win 7.

What does an Ubuntu Mute sound like? Do they make them for different instruments?

Can't tell you John I've never heard one. I can tell you though that I don't like the new theme. It's totally black. Everything blends in together. I guess it's the latest in computing. Can't hear or see anything.

Just curious. What is the appeal of Linux? I know from this forum that it's very useful to boot into Linux if you have a bad virus infection because you can go into the Windows root directory since Windows is not running, and delete it. That makes sense but what else is so hot about it especially in the context of PG Music when none of these programs run under it? I can see the point of using it for internet surfing if you constantly seem to have problems with viruses or other things but Firefox, Chrome, having some AV protection and just being careful seems to handle that just fine for me and many others so what gives?
Btw, isn't the Unbutu Mute that Kenyan gadget that turns a didgiredoo into a zither when it's run through an analog flamulator?

Graham. In a terminal type alsamixer. You will then get a graphic display of all your mixer settings. Make sure that there is "00" under each of the vertical bar charts and not "M" "M" means that that channel is muted. BTW if you want to experiment with running BIAB under Ubuntu, then you need to install WINE. This will then give you a pseudo C: drive and will let you run the BIAB .exe files and install onto that drive. You might have some problems setting up MIDI but it works for me.

I like the freedom of surfing anywhere I want to go without being careful. I like the freedom of not having to download Windows updates to keep my Windows PC secure. I like the freedom of not having to bog down my Windows PC with security programs. I like the freedom of not having to have Gate's permission to install the operating system on my internet PC. I like the freedom of not having to image my internet PC.
These are a few of the appeals I can think of at the present time. Maybe other users can add some appealing reasons. .

Tony, Do you have any problem with Biab finding the "pgmus.ttf" file for the notation view for Biab? I've been running an old version of Biab from a usb drive in Mint 5 and, though the songs play just fine, when I try to go to the notation window I get a "can't find pgmus.ttf" message. I have the font file in the Window's system folder of Wine. Is that the same location on your setup?
TIA

Thanks Tony, that did it. For some reason Wine didn't create that folder, so I added it and moved the ttf files to that folder. Now I can view the notation windows.

Thanks for the link. Linux about as bulletproof as one can get. Since I am using it is a Linux internet PC, if I get tagged, I'll use the Live Cd and be back up running a lot quicker than I would be with a Window's machine. Your much appreciated link contains a section entitled "The Reality". I employ similar procedures for any download destined for Windows and I would urge others to do so also.

Cool. I know lots of users can use Linux safely with relative ease... but when someone new asks "why use it?" and the answer is 'I surf without being careful' it can be misleading. That link, by the way, was the first return when googling 'ubuntu virus'. There are many more sites and reports, depending on flavor of Linux. It is safer to surf in Linux, but it bothers me to see people misled on it. Surf safe! Use Linux, or No-Script, or whatever you feel comfortable with, but never surf carelessly. We all count on each other for that.
