[00:31] Hi [00:32] new xubuntu user here. What is a good GUI disk/partition manager? [01:38] 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." === __Anthony is now known as _Anthony === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [03:53] hi, is there anything which makes xubuntu lighter than ubuntu besides xfce? [03:53] is it basically ubuntu server with xfce? === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [03:58] *updates bnc* [03:59] *updated [04:05] hello [04:12] Hi === __Anthony is now known as _Anthony [08:19] hello everyone [08:19] :D === Guest98863 is now known as m00se [12:16] anyone alive? i need somebody to check something for me [12:18] MalkavianManiac: if I can ...

My video works fine, but audio is a problem. It was perfect in vanilla Ubuntu Lucid, though. [17:49] !skype [17:49] 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 [17:52] ... [17:54] likemindead, hard to say since both ubuntu and xubuntu use pulse-audio these days [17:55] Yep. It's strange. It seems to be the mixer that Xubuntu uses. It doesn't have the options the GNOME one does. [17:56] Can I uninstall the Xfce mixer and install the GNOME one? Will that cause problems? [17:56] likemindead, i can't see the mixer causing the problem [17:56] likemindead, before you start with that, what's the audio problem really? [17:57] likemindead, just saying "audio is a problem" isn't a very helpful description ;) [17:57] True. [17:57] In Ubuntu, you can select the input. In my case, the Hercules webcam mic. [17:57] No such option in the Xfce mixer. [17:58] ah right, so you're using an external usb device [17:58] you can try to install the pulse-audio mixer additionally, that might help with your problem [17:58] one sec, i'll dig up the package-name for you [17:58] 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). [17:59] likemindead, try "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol" [17:59] hercules doesn't appear on drop-down menu you mean? [17:59] Looking at it in Synaptic now. [17:59] Right, Sysi. Not like it does in GNOME. [18:00] The Xfce mixer is about the only thing I dislike in Xubuntu. Always have. :-[ [18:00] Well, it shows up, but has no real options other than "Master." [18:00] :-\ [18:01] What does the red dot button mean? Is red on or off? [18:01] 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] the red button is a toggle button, so its state is pretty self-explanatory [18:02] So... red is on? Or off? [18:02] :-\ [18:02] the color of the button doesn't change [18:02] in the xfce-mixer [18:02] Uh... yeah it does. [18:02] oh well, it does... :) [18:03] but still: it's a toggle button [18:03] so if it's pushed it's activated [18:03] and concluding from that means: red == pushed == activated [18:03] Thought so. That's not the problem, then. They were all red. [18:04] well for choosing your hercules webcam you'd have to use the drop-down and change to that anyways [18:05] In Xubuntu, Skype has fewer options. See this thread: http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9368977 [18:05] They're describing exactly what I'm experiencing. [18:06] likemindead, that's not a very eye-opening description of your problem tbh [18:06] IT LIVES! [18:06] basically it only tells us that you have an audio problem [18:07] 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] Sweet. [18:07] But annoying. [18:07] It's so much easier in Ubuntu. :-\ [18:07] It's a good thing I love Xubuntu so much. ;-) [20:47] hi [20:49] Yo. [22:41] n8 [23:02] hi guys [23:04] I have a problem with the sounds of startup and login [23:05] I was told that the service would be restored in Lucid [23:06] I do not know how to select sounds [23:06] Until Jaunty, this could be done [23:07] Just go to the Login Window and select the Accessibility [23:08] Now the Login Window dialog no longer exists [23:09] How do I resolve this? [23:09] hmmm, ask in #ubuntu? [23:10] there is a "play login sound" in Applications -> System -> Login Screen [23:11] Ok, but they told me they do not use xfce [23:11] You don't actually want sounds in xfce. You want sound in GDM [23:11] ok [23:12] There is also "enable event sounds" in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance, Settings tab [23:20]

, ok, thanks, but I can't hear any sounds [23:22] charlie-tca, Especially I can not select any custom sound as jaunty [23:25] GDM has changed too much since Jaunty to expect it to work the same [23:25] I think gnome took those options out when it was re-written [23:25] ok [23:28] charlie-tca, then cannot I do anything to the command line? [23:28] in the terminal, I mean [23:32] You said startup and login sounds. What does that have to do with terminal? [23:35] 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] :)
