It might help if you included the type of monitor along with what video card you're running. Getting an a answer requires a bit more info.

Have you checked to see if your volumes have been turned up after the install? Have you checked your PulseAudio settings to see if the audio is pointing to the correct hardware? The only time I've had problems with sound is when something is not configured correctly.

Log in as root, or use sudo to complete the task. It would also help to see what you did to bring up this error. Showing the error without the command is not going to get you accurate answers.

Just in case there's still interest:

His Blog Archive shows a part 2 & 3.

Yes you may, as long as to stick to the GPL.

Thanks for keeping us updated. It looks interesting.

I think seeing the error messages that appeared after you executed the make command might tell where your problem is. You'll need to post them in order for anyone to help you.

Open Cloud is a generic term. There are many large storage companies that offer cloud services, but, you would be syncing your files out in the cloud, and, for me, that decreases my privacy. Owncloud, which allows you to set up a cloud service on your own machine, is the way I would go. If it's not available in your distros repos yet, here's a how-to from the Debian based distro I use, siduction.

In Fedora, I use Autoten to install codecs.

Although I hear installing Google Earth is broken at the moment, every other option in Autoten is working great.

A couple of years back, when I tried Backtrack, it came with wifi disabled. I'm sorry it's been a long time, so, I can't give you a how-to, but, poking around the systems or settings menu, or, the config to their network manager, should find you the wifi enable option.

Of course, that is, if their disabling wifi is still default. Sorry I couldn't help you more, but, I didn't use Backtrack except for that one time.
