He does not live close by, and he currently does not have Internet access. I have a thumb drive of his that I am putting some audio onto for him, to be mailed to him. I would like some podcasts and/or audio tutorials that I could put on it so he can listen to that and get started. Thanks, and if you have specific links, that would help.

I would like to enable a beep sound when GRUB appears. So I did in a terminal: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and I notice the line: # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" So I did uncomment the line and ran update-grub. But still no beep. Do I miss something? Thanks.

Do I miss something? That should be it. You can check in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg that the "play 480 440 1" command appears, and that there is /boot/grub/i386-pc/play.mod. If so, then perhaps your machine simply doesn't have a standard PC speaker :/ Samuel From milton at tomaatnet.nl Thu Sep 17 18:47:09 2015 From: milton at tomaatnet.nl (Milton) Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 20:47:09 +0200 Subject: how can I get a beep sound when GRUB appears In-Reply-To: <1442507654.11497.32.camel@gmail.com> References: <55FAE9F9.7050106@tomaatnet.nl> <1442507654.11497.32.camel@gmail.com> Message-ID: <55FB0AAD.2070906@tomaatnet.nl> Many thanks Kyle!

I like the way I can get to everything with alt + F1, and the way I can put items onto the desktop. The only weaknesses so far is that I could not locate the WIFI, even after going into network, so I had to have my son click on it. Also, it is strange the way everything says "not selected", even though it is selected. But it is the best Ubuntu so far in my opinion. I have it running on a thumb drive. I hope it maintains accessibility when I am installing it from that drive. Oh yeah, one other annoyance, I logged out and could not log back in. I tried ubuntu in the user name field as well as trying it in the password field, and in both fields, as well as leaving them blank. Everything on-line indicated that ubuntu in the user name field should have worked. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
