Here is the solution:



1. Open a terminal and switch to root user.
Launch the terminal from the panel menu

Type your root password and hit enter key on the keyboard.

2. Check whether sound is properly configured on your system.
play /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav

How to install any applications(apps) on fedora

If you have just installed GNU/Linux and would like to know how to install software on your new OS then go thru this.

There are many ways but I prefer these:
1.By downloading from internet and then installing manually
2. By installing repositories first and then using yum package installer

lets go for first method

REMEMBER: YOU HAVE TO BE ROOT USER FOR THIS
=======================you need to get the site address for the software(get it from any search engine )
#wget -c site addresslike (# wget -c http://easylinux.info/upload/1.0.bin.tar.bz2 )
# tar -jxvf filename
like( tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz) (note: use jxvf only for tar.bz2 files,zxvf for tar.gz)it will create a directory by same filename to that directory
#cd directory
# ./configure
#make install
====================================================================================Now 2nd method (I prefer this most)
for this u have to install repositories first =============================================
# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm (if u rusing different version of fedora then just change the numeral above.)or
you can do it other way

first download corresponding livna-release.rpm from anywebsite (as required fedora 8,9)
then open terminal
go to the directory in which you u've downloaded the livna repo.and
#rpm -ivh livna-release-9.rpm
now the repo. is installed . now you u can continue with yum package installer
#yum install packagename

u can search for the package by
#yum search packagename
and then install the required package.
