[00:31] <revisionz> Hi
[00:32] <revisionz> new xubuntu user here. What is a good GUI disk/partition manager?
[01:38] <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."
[03:53] <datz> hi, is there anything which makes xubuntu lighter than ubuntu besides xfce?
[03:53] <datz> is it basically ubuntu server with xfce?

[17:48] <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.
[17:49] <TheSheep> !skype
[17:52] <likemindead> ...
[17:54] <ochosi> likemindead, hard to say since both ubuntu and xubuntu use pulse-audio these days
[17:55] <likemindead> Yep. It's strange. It seems to be the mixer that Xubuntu uses. It doesn't have the options the GNOME one does.
[17:56] <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?
[17:57] <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.
[17:58] <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).
[17:59] <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.
[18:00] <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> :-\
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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... :)
[18:03] <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.
[18:04] <ochosi> well for choosing your hercules webcam you'd have to use the drop-down and change to that anyways
[18:05] <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.
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <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. ;-)
[20:47] <slow-motion> hi
[20:49] <likemindead> Yo.
[22:41] <slow-motion> n8
[23:02] <cristian_c> hi guys
[23:04] <cristian_c> I have a problem with the sounds of startup and login
[23:05] <cristian_c> I was told that the service would be restored in Lucid
[23:06] <cristian_c> I do not know how to select sounds
[23:06] <cristian_c> Until Jaunty, this could be done
[23:07] <cristian_c> Just go to the Login Window and select the Accessibility
[23:08] <cristian_c> Now the Login Window dialog no longer exists
[23:09] <cristian_c> How do I resolve this?
[23:09] <charlie-tca> hmmm, ask in #ubuntu?
[23:10] <charlie-tca> there is a "play login sound" in Applications -> System -> Login Screen
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <charlie-tca> There is also "enable event sounds" in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance, Settings tab
, ok, thanks, but I can't hear any sounds
[23:22] <cristian_c> charlie-tca, Especially I can not select any custom sound as jaunty
[23:25] <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
[23:28] <cristian_c> charlie-tca, then cannot I do anything to the command line?
[23:28] <cristian_c> in the terminal, I mean
[23:32] <charlie-tca> You said startup and login sounds. What does that have to do with terminal?
[23:35] <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> :)
