| Micah | tyvm | 06:00 |
| psycho_oreos | what specifically do you need though? | 06:00 |
| Micah | to make my sound play | 06:00 |
| Micah | lol | 06:00 |
| psycho_oreos | sometimes even stuff from dmesg or /var/log/messages shows infos or maybe the driver itself can be modprobed with verbose info (if its compiled and has that ability) | 06:00 |
| psycho_oreos | probably alsamixer | 06:00 |
| psycho_oreos | err alsaconf | 06:00 |
| Micah | i had this problem before and i fixed | 06:01 |
| Micah | all i can remember is that the solution was very simple | 06:01 |
| psycho_oreos | probably alsamixer, lol set it as mute | 06:01 |
| psycho_oreos | err by default, it was set as mute | 06:02 |
| Micah | lol yes i think that might be it\ | 06:02 |
| Micah | yeah i fixed it thanks | 06:03 |

| JarlG | Hello! I had an ubuntu installation, but I installed xfce, and removed GNOME, so now I basically have a xubuntu installation. There's one problem, however, the update manager still wants to download GNOME-things, which I don't want.. Is there a way to change the download manager to get xubuntu updates, not ubuntu updates? Thanks! | 08:39 |
| _Pete_ | JarlG: remove the packages it's trying to update if you dont need them | 08:43 |
| JarlG | _Pete_: Okay, thanks. :P | 08:50 |
| JarlG | _Pete_: But if I had the xubuntu update manager, wouldn't there be xfce-related updates? | 08:50 |
| _Pete_ | no | 08:50 |
| _Pete_ | it updates all installed packages | 08:51 |
| JarlG | _pete_: Aaaah! | 08:51 |
| Shaymin | hey all | 11:16 |
| Shaymin | would like to throw a quick question out into the void in relation to a file browser crash issue | 11:17 |
| Shaymin | open in new window works fine | 11:17 |
| Shaymin | a simple double-click causes the window to die | 11:17 |
| Shaymin | any idea what I managed to screw up to make it behave this way? :D | 11:17 |
| Shaymin | fixed. | 11:31 |
| linuxNOOB | I'm getting ready to head to work, but I thought I'd post this problem I'm having installing linux on a G3 iBook. With Xubuntu, after I select my keyboard type, nothing else happens. I just get a blue screen. With Debian, I get as far as Network Setup (I'm not really sure what to put in at the network setup screen, so I just make up stuff), then it goes to "acquiring additional componenets" and it doesn't get any further than 0%. | 12:30 |
