[orca-list] Ubuntu 11.10 fails to talk after install.



Hi.

 

I have an HP Pavilion DV6 laptop. I installed vmware player 4 (workstation 8). I use Windows 7 Home 64bit, jaws 13. After downloading Ubuntu 11.10 X86, I created a VM with the following hardware:

 

1.       2GB memory

2.       30GB hd

3.       2 processor cores

4.       DVD drive from ISO file (points to Ubuntu 11.10 image downloaded)

5.       Network nat

6.       Floppy audo detect

7.       Usb present

8.       Printer audo detect

9.       Sound audo detect

I told the vmware player I wanted to install at a later time. Now, when I start Ubuntu VM that was just created, I have no sound at all. Pressing F11 turns sound on. I hear no drums or audio to signify that Ubuntu is ready for a response of some kind. I press CONTROL+S. Orca and the Ubuntu installer start. I run through the installer and am told the computer needs to restart. I restart into the dvd image loaded for the dvd drive. I turn off the VM, remove the ISO image and turn the dvd back to hardware dvd. I restart the VM and cannot sign in, I get no sound (even unmuting it fails). I am stuck. Any ideas? I need this for school and am on a timeline.
