How to install Ubuntu 9.04?

How do I install Realtek HD Audio Manager (In Ubuntu/Linux)?

• I downloaded the file from Realtek's website. It says it's for Linux/Unix so I assume it's also compatible to Ubuntu. I attempted to install and even made a video about it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p85ouyuHaD8 I tried again with the from the root terminal (sudo su root command) but no luck. I emailed Realtek and thiss is what they said: " 1. open a "termainal" 2. "sudo su root" enter the root password 3. copy "patch" to "/usr/bin" 4. tar xvfj alsa-driver-1.0.24.xxxxxxx 5. cd alsa-driver-1.0.24 6. ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel 7. make; make install 8. reboot" I understand most it, but I don't know what they mean by "patch" I have searched the entire folder for patch but nothing returned in the results. Maybe I have to download the correct file from somewhere else? I tried searching for it, but I have no luck finding it. I had Ubuntu installed for over a month and never tried compiling software before until when I tried to install Realltek HD Audio Manager. Where do I install the correct and most recent file and what do I do to install it? I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (64 Bit)

• Answer:

  You shouldn't need to. The driver should already be included in the Linux kernel. "patch" is a program used to alter source code. it can be installed by installing the "patch" program from the repository.
