A few Problems - campisi_44 - 2006-01-30
Alright I'm not a total noob but I'm having some issues. I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 5.10 and right now I'm pretty confused.
Problems:
1. My sound card is seen by the os. Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit, but I dont get any output. I'm going to see if disabling my on-board sound does anything because right now it is enabled.
2. I installed Firefox to my desktop [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img] ...I know...it has a folder icon with a lock on it and now i can not remove it. I was hoping I could log on as su and remove it but I dont no the command.
3. I would like to code java on my linux box but I also installed the SDK to my desktop and can't remove that also...
Thanks in advance...

that means you tried to install it as another user, possibly root, to give yourself ownership of the file/folder login as root and do
chown -R anyweb:anyweb /path/to/dir/andfiles
where anyweb:anyweb is user/group

as above
ps, try to keep one question per post, makes it easier to keep track
