Is this what confused you?

Sound Issue:
Sound was not working so I had to do :

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-rt

I rebooted and sound worked

In Linux whenever you wish to customize or reconfigure your install you have 3 choices.
1. Applications>Add/Remove
2.System>Administration>Synaptics Package Manager
3. Applications>Accessories>Terminal

In Seths blog he used option #3 and opened Terminal, copied and pasted : sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-rt : Then hit enter,then typed his password for sudo,then hit enter, then let everything finish doing its thing, closed Terminal, restarted his computer.

Options 1 and 2 are what Windows users will find familiar when it comes to adding software. After running Linux for a little while and you get familiar with option 3 you will start to prefer option 3 as you have waaaaay more control on what you can update and install on your system. Options 1 and 2 are somewhat limited.

In my linux help thread in this section I have links on using the CLI (command line interface)
Numerous other linux forums besides Ubuntu forums
Lots of How To sites for installing anything in Ubuntu and other Linux Distros
Step by step instructions on installing Linux with Windows with Screenshots or Video movie.

I did the hard work there so you guys wouldn't have to.


I had to Edit, Bootneck ,after reading "once I have mastered Ubuntu"

It made me smile cuz after running these Linux O/S for awhile now I am still a NOOB when it comes to Linux.
