Although a "pain", I followed some of the steps from the Ubuntu resource for the '''Intel GMA500 "Poulsbo" video driver''': [ [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo#karmic https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo#karmic] ]<br /><br />From with resource, I performed the following:
:* '''Opened terminal ''' and '''ran the command:'''<br /><span style="font-family:courier;font-weight:bold">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config</span>:* '''Rebooted ''' the computer.:* After reboot, then '''installed the updates ''' (ie. Ran "update manager" from Admin).:* '''Rebooted ''' the computer.:* Ran '''Synaptic Package Manager ''' (from Admin), and installed '''Ubuntu Studio Desktop ''' (I pretty well selected ALL packages associated with Ubuntu Studio).
:* Followed instructions to make my Tascam US122 device work with my netbook: [ [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122] ]<br /><br />
