linux, suse

[pintomz]

i installed linux suse 10.2 but i can't hear any sound (the sound sound card was found).
and the command "updatedb" is not found
what can i do

I believe you must be root to run updatedb

type su then the root password

What sound card or chip?

Have you checked the volume control?

In Yast did you run the advanced button on the sound card setup screen and test the sound there?

try as root to run alsaconf see if that does not correct that problem it also plays a sound bite.

i alrady did that. when i type updatedb it says command not found or not recognized somethig like that, and other commands too don´t accept.

I checked the volume control its all ok but i dont hear any sound even in test control, when i play some music no sound too

what can i do
thankz

That sounds like a pathing problem or some things simply did not install.

I assume that the alsaconf command also failed to be found also.

How much disk space did you allocate to the install?

Also what is the sound chip or card?

[pintomz]

The chip card is 82801G (ICH7) High Definition Audio Controller

i allocated 20Gb for the installation

Some distros don't install locate (and hence updatedb) by default. On SUSE, you need to install findutils-locate.
