Sound control buttons & No Sound problem

Volume Control buttons:
I opened the System / Preferences / Hotkeys and redefined the buttons for sound controlling.

No Sound problem:
This was very trivial...
I opened the Volume Control and found the PCM mute :-)

How to rotate the display?

ATTENTION! THIS POST IS OUTDATED!
The scripts I use now to rotate the display can be copied from this post.

---

I found a great soultion on this page!

It needs a little alternation, so I'll copy and modify it here.

Which program to use to take notes?

The answer is: Xournal.
You can download Xournal with synaptic package manage. After installing it will be in the programs / tools menu.

(Note that I'm using hungarian ubuntu, so I'm just trying to translate the menu names :-))

To make the eraser tip to work go to the Options menu, and activate the "Eraser tip" option.
To make the pen button work as a highlighter go to the Options menu and choose highlighter in Button2 Mapping submenu.
---------------------------------------
Installing Xournal:

You have to download these packages through Synaptic Package Manager before doing anything:

• libgnomecanvas2-dev
• libgnomeprint2.2-dev
• libgnomeprintui2.2-dev
• autoconf
• automake
• xpdf

... and dependancies.

Compilation and Installation

Download the Xournal distribution tar.gz file, and unpack it. (it will be a folder)

Go to the folder in the Terminal and type:

sudo ./install-binary

(and upgrade GTK+ and the other libraries if needed).

Then type:

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
sudo make desktop-install

Configure error message:
If autogen.sh generates the error message configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libgnomeprintui-2.2 >= 2.0.0) not met even though you have sufficiently recent versions of these libraries on your system, then you need to install some missing development packages.

Problems #1

I've already installed Wacom-tools and Xserver-Xorg-Input-Wacom.

Which Ubuntu?

Now the Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron is out, however installing this version on my tc4400, Alice, was not a good idea :-)
The tablet didn't work at all.

Trying to make my tablet alive, I decided, to install an earlier version.
So second time, I installed Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.
The tablet works fine, but I've got some other problems, which I will try to solve.
