Hi,
I am stuck on this step

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic alsa-utils ##Here comes your sound

I get an error that says couldnt find package linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic

Has anyone run into this before?

I have a Jetway and i have xmcfreak live running off of a usb.

Thanks

Update:

It is causing me some problems, alsa-utils just drops out when setting up (I think upower and or policykit-1) and requires a fresh install.

Hardware:
Jetway Mini-TOP HBJC600C99-52W-BW - New Ion 2 ###GEforce 218
Intel Atom 525 dual core 1.8Ghz (June 2010 release)
1 GB Notebook (200 pin) PC-6400 Rendition RAM (Cruical)
WD Scorpio Blue 250GB 2.5" drive
1 USB 4GB Patriot disk as backup (Clonezilla)
SW
10.10 Mav.
1.0.23 alsa with current patches
260.19.12 Nvidia

The minute I installed upower and policykit-1, I lose alsa-utils functions and installed drivers it seems. (Alsamixer, aplay, etc.)

Here are some snapshots of my current situation after installing the pkgs. above.
$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...

$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.

UPDATE: Fixed it, it was in the wiki hiding in the nvidia 2XX section. It seems that the ION2 is a GEforce 218 card, kinda good to know. I was installing alsa from the maverick backports and not removing them when finished. Found that tip on the Nvidia Geforce 2xx wiki.

Maverick minimal cd with only ssh server app enabled during install.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils

cd /proc/asound/card0  ##or card1, you are looking for the one that has eld# in the directory

cat eld#0.0

cat eld#1.0  ###When I looked in this file it was the only one with data, look at bottom fo this for card/device info
