| samtop | hello, I just installed Xubuntu and I am pretty new to it. I wanna listen to music on the internet with Exaile, but I get an error message that says "You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins." | 01:38 |

| likemindead | Any of you folks use Skype in Xubuntu Lucid? My video works fine, but audio is a problem. It was perfect in vanilla Ubuntu Lucid, though. | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | !skype | 17:49 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 17:49 |
| likemindead | ... | 17:52 |
| ochosi | likemindead, hard to say since both ubuntu and xubuntu use pulse-audio these days | 17:54 |
| likemindead | Yep. It's strange. It seems to be the mixer that Xubuntu uses. It doesn't have the options the GNOME one does. | 17:55 |
| likemindead | Can I uninstall the Xfce mixer and install the GNOME one? Will that cause problems? | 17:56 |
| ochosi | likemindead, i can't see the mixer causing the problem | 17:56 |
| ochosi | likemindead, before you start with that, what's the audio problem really? | 17:56 |
| ochosi | likemindead, just saying "audio is a problem" isn't a very helpful description ;) | 17:57 |
| likemindead | True. | 17:57 |
| likemindead | In Ubuntu, you can select the input. In my case, the Hercules webcam mic. | 17:57 |
| likemindead | No such option in the Xfce mixer. | 17:57 |
| ochosi | ah right, so you're using an external usb device | 17:58 |
| ochosi | you can try to install the pulse-audio mixer additionally, that might help with your problem | 17:58 |
| ochosi | one sec, i'll dig up the package-name for you | 17:58 |
| likemindead | Skype isn't picking up audio input from me in Xubuntu, but is fine in Ubuntu on my wife's laptop (and was fine on this one 'til I switched to Xubuntu). | 17:58 |
| ochosi | likemindead, try "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol" | 17:59 |
| Sysi | hercules doesn't appear on drop-down menu you mean? | 17:59 |
| likemindead | Looking at it in Synaptic now. | 17:59 |
| likemindead | Right, Sysi. Not like it does in GNOME. | 17:59 |
| likemindead | The Xfce mixer is about the only thing I dislike in Xubuntu. Always have. :-[ | 18:00 |
| likemindead | Well, it shows up, but has no real options other than "Master." | 18:00 |
| likemindead | :-\ | 18:00 |
| likemindead | What does the red dot button mean? Is red on or off? | 18:01 |
| ochosi | likemindead, the xfce-mixer is actually pretty much a recent rewrite based on gstreamer, as long as you add all the channels it's pretty functional | 18:01 |
| ochosi | the red button is a toggle button, so its state is pretty self-explanatory | 18:01 |
| likemindead | So... red is on? Or off? | 18:02 |
| likemindead | :-\ | 18:02 |
| ochosi | the color of the button doesn't change | 18:02 |
| ochosi | in the xfce-mixer | 18:02 |
| likemindead | Uh... yeah it does. | 18:02 |
| ochosi | oh well, it does... :) | 18:02 |
| ochosi | but still: it's a toggle button | 18:03 |
| ochosi | so if it's pushed it's activated | 18:03 |
| ochosi | and concluding from that means: red == pushed == activated | 18:03 |
| likemindead | Thought so. That's not the problem, then. They were all red. | 18:03 |
| ochosi | well for choosing your hercules webcam you'd have to use the drop-down and change to that anyways | 18:04 |
| likemindead | In Xubuntu, Skype has fewer options. See this thread: http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9368977 | 18:05 |
| likemindead | They're describing exactly what I'm experiencing. | 18:05 |
| ochosi | likemindead, that's not a very eye-opening description of your problem tbh | 18:06 |
| likemindead | IT LIVES! | 18:06 |
| ochosi | basically it only tells us that you have an audio problem | 18:06 |
| likemindead | Well, I just added all 1,000 options in the mixer and turned them all up to 80% and one of them did the trick. | 18:07 |
| likemindead | Sweet. | 18:07 |
| likemindead | But annoying. | 18:07 |
| likemindead | It's so much easier in Ubuntu. :-\ | 18:07 |
| likemindead | It's a good thing I love Xubuntu so much. ;-) | 18:07 |

| cristian_c | hi guys | 23:02 |
| cristian_c | I have a problem with the sounds of startup and login | 23:04 |
| cristian_c | I was told that the service would be restored in Lucid | 23:05 |
| cristian_c | I do not know how to select sounds | 23:06 |
| cristian_c | Until Jaunty, this could be done | 23:06 |
| cristian_c | Just go to the Login Window and select the Accessibility | 23:07 |
| cristian_c | Now the Login Window dialog no longer exists | 23:08 |
| cristian_c | How do I resolve this? | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | hmmm, ask in #ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | there is a "play login sound" in Applications -> System -> Login Screen | 23:10 |
| cristian_c | Ok, but they told me they do not use xfce | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | You don't actually want sounds in xfce. You want sound in GDM | 23:11 |
| cristian_c | ok | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | There is also "enable event sounds" in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance, Settings tab | 23:12 |
| cristian_c | <charlie-tca>, ok, thanks, but I can't hear any sounds | 23:20 |
| cristian_c | charlie-tca, Especially I can not select any custom sound as jaunty | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | GDM has changed too much since Jaunty to expect it to work the same | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | I think gnome took those options out when it was re-written | 23:25 |
| cristian_c | ok | 23:25 |
| cristian_c | charlie-tca, then cannot I do anything to the command line? | 23:28 |
| cristian_c | in the terminal, I mean | 23:28 |
| charlie-tca | You said startup and login sounds. What does that have to do with terminal? | 23:32 |
| cristian_c | charlie-tca, maybe that those options are no longer in the GUI, but that we should do everything through text file and terminal | 23:35 |
| cristian_c | :) | 23:35 |
