Did you do alsaconfig or whatever the command is?
[editline]04:48AM[/editline]
Wait, you only installed alsamixer? Not the rest of the alsa tools?
ahhh... It was a while ago.
I believe I just did alsamixer, or alsaconfig. Nothing else. What else do I need?

Linux Mint serves me just fine, thank you. :h:

No. Mint is the only distribution Openbox doesn't work in. If you try to install it, make will just fuck up on you. It will start eating away your root directory.

Why exactly do you like it? It's just a derivative of ubuntu. And ubuntu is just a derivative of debian.

Alsaconfig should do it. It'll configure the drivers for your soundcard, and then you should hopefully have sound working.

Side note: Mint is rubbish.

I installed it, but I have no sound, on youtube or when I play videos using vlc.
I'm also trying to google around and figure out how to set up ssh. Is there anything I need to install or is there conf file I need to edit? I think port 22 is closed.
[code]ssh: connect to host maccabee port 22: Connection refused[/code]
I use OpenSSH. You just need an SSH server.
Code? And after installing that, I will just be able to connect from any computer using ssh maccabee@maccabee?
O, and any clue how to download files from terminal? or do you have to connect with a program to do that?
Open port 22 in the [url=http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/SSH/SSHindex.htm]port forwarding options[/url] of your router to connect from a remote computer over the internet. You will not need to do this if you just use SSH to connect over your local network. You can only use you@hostname if you are connecting over your local network. However, if your hostname is an actual domain, you can use the hostname from anywhere. Otherwise, it has to be your [url=http://www.whatismyip.com/]IP address[/url].
To download files from the terminal, you need to use the right program for the job. If you want to copy files from one computer over another using SSH, use [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy#SCP_program]scp[/url]. If you are using ftp, well, use [url=http://linux.about.com/od/commands/a/blcmdl1_ftpx.htm]ftp[/url]. If you are copying over http, use [url=http://lifehacker.com/161202/geek-to-live--mastering-wget]wget[/url] or [url=http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html]curl[/url].
ahhh, does wget work from command line while using ssh? It looks like the thing for me...
And I don't think it is that the ports are closed becasue I have used ssh between two laptops on the network already. Actually between two macs. I made my brothers mac speak.
And from command line on a linux box. But I still can't connect to the linux box from commmand line. And for downloading stuff, I would use smb, like I have before, but I can only log into the smb share on linux from my mac, as guest, and I'm not even sure where the shared folder is located. It's just showing up on my mac.
edit:
I did sudo apt-get install ssh on the linux computer and tried again on the mac, and it worked.

Same thing.
Well, I was trying to turn the openbox pc, into a server, but I screwed up and internet does not work now. i'm not gonna try and fix it. I'll just reinstall with debian.
CJ, I think I asked you this somewhere... Last time I installed debian, sudo apt-get install tint and basically everything else didn't work, but it does work in ubuntu. Can i just use my sources list from ubuntu?

I don't see why not, but don't quote me on that. I haven't tried.

Done.

you got a good link to a tutorial, on how to turn a linux box into a file server? Like one, that I can enter, the ip of from any computer? And then possibly, get a dyndns or co.nr subdomain for?
:D

Install server software, such as Apache2 or my personal favourite: Nginx.
Unless you mean an FTP server, then you have a whole different set of software available to you.

Then what? Can I just go to my ip address? Where do I put the files? I think I messed up, when I was trying to get a static ip.

You have to contact your ISP to get a static IP.
you can just go to your IP address, but I strongly recommend attaching a domain name to it. (I personally use Afraid.org for my subdomains)
