My Lenovo N100 laptop used to have sound under Ubuntu Edgy
Then I installed Mplayer and it has been silent since.

There is sound in XP but none in Linux. I even reinstalled the
sound drivers but nothing.

Has anyone experienced this? Any fixes welcome!

and that seems to have activated sound in
everything else.

I noticed if my cpu(s) are using OnDemand frequency scaling
then my laptop hangs when suspending.

I know I have to set them to PowerSave in the ACPI scripts
but I don't know where to put the commands.

I have Ubuntu Edgy on a Lenovo N100. Help!

OK, I found where to put the commands. Just create a file
in /etc/acpi/resume.d/ and key in the commands.

have you tried Synaptic Package Manager? It's easy to
add repositories to Synaptic and you can browse around
to see if Mplayer is listed.

Some software is easier to install from the GUI and some
better by apt-get, from my experience :-)

After upgrading to Feisty on my Lenovo N100,
the screensaver won't start.

Also the laptop won't go to sleep after 1 hour
as I have set.

What can I do?

Solved the sleep problem. Turns out, after waking,
the keyboard generates some rubbish text that
keeps going and going. This prevents the power
saving features from kicking in.

Needed to rebind the keyboard with some extra
resume.d and suspend.d scripts.
