sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
theuni Wrote:A dist-upgrade will likely break alsa due to the fact that we compile it ourselves. I'll be working hard to change that before final release.
In the meantime, the easy answer is to avoid doing a dist-upgrade. If a regular upgrade won't work, please report it so that we can fix the packages.
And _please_ stop using those alsa upgrade scripts unless you understand what you're doing. (Hint: If you understand what you're doing, you'll likely understand that you shouldn't do it)

do
Code:ls /root
this should show you the directory name where the alsa sources are, it's propably /root/alsa
Code:cd /root/alsa
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
reboot
wamj58 Wrote:When I do the ls /root I get 3 choices:
alsa-driver-1.0.23, also-lib-1.0.23, also-utils-1.0.23
Which do I use?

sudo apt-get upgrade xbmc
but on every live distro i've tried this one i always get other packages upgraded and then it breaks my alsa sound
So why does that work for everybody else but not me ? confused

anonym1te Wrote:Simply execute the following at the command prompt:
Code:sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
This will install the latest back-port modules for alsa which will not have the symbol errors.
