| MythGuy | I need help. I installed Xubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, and the only sound hardware that works is the headphones. The external mic and onboard speakers aren't working either (yes, this is after I unplug the headphones). | 00:45 |

| trebuchet | alsa/pulseaudio are terrible things | 00:46 |
| MythGuy | Not to be rude, but that doesn't much help. | 00:47 |
| trebuchet | MythGuy: A more appropriate channel might be #alsa, they have some automated script to do diagnostics and upload that information to a pastebin site. You should have prefaced your question here with what audio chipset you're using. | 00:50 |
| MythGuy | True, I should have. Thank you for the channel suggestion. I'll go there. | 00:52 |
| mikubuntu | hey, guys, just brought my friend subuntu to see if we could get help with her 'new' old computer | 02:48 |
| mikubuntu | it was her daughters and she inherited it, but | 02:48 |
| mikubuntu | there's no sound. we figured out that a sound jack had been broken off into the headphone jack on the front of the box | 02:49 |
| mikubuntu | there is also ports in the back of the box, but no sound coming from them, so we're guessing that the machine thinks there is a device hooked to the front | 02:49 |
| mikubuntu | is there a way with the command line to maybe disable the front port and make the back ones useable? she is running ubuntu 10.04. | 02:49 |
| mikubuntu | aside from this issue, the machine is running great, but it's a bummer not being able to hear the music | 02:50 |

| nikolam | This stupid pice of sh* this abiword | 12:38 |
| nikolam | so full of bugs | 12:38 |
| nikolam | i am rewriting a text for thirs of time and had data loss wen selecting text in the document | 12:39 |
| nikolam | aargh | 12:39 |
| nikolam | and open office dies every now and then also | 12:39 |
| nikolam | what a mess. (lucid 64bit) | 12:39 |
| nikolam | It just do not display large chunk of a document after selecting, like it is not there (abiword) | 12:40 |
| nikolam | what a hell. abiword mixed my document all around without order | 12:44 |
| nikolam | what a nightmare | 12:44 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| nikolam | I am truly pissed off to this abiword and its handling of .odt format | 17:25 |
| nikolam | it is making my document into sausages | 17:25 |
| TheSheep | nikolam: did you try to use a text file or a real dtp application (depending on what you are trying to abuse abiword for) | 17:28 |
| nikolam | aha i am just merely typing a text in it. nothing fancy. and openoffice is crashing and he is behaving strangely wile selecting text etc | 17:30 |
| stockhunter | would anyone like to help me with burning a data dvd? | 17:30 |
| charlie-tca | nikolam: openoffice and abiword are not the same | 17:38 |
| nikolam | i know. | 17:38 |

| Anom01y | hey guys anyone here know how to upgrade Rhythmbox to 0.13 ? right now the latest in the repositories is 0.12.5 | 19:15 |
| Anom01y | it crashes alot, and some of the plugins do not work (shoutcast) | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | Anom01y: if the latest available from Ubuntu is 0.12.5, you would probably have to compile 0.13. You could search launchpad for a PPA, too. | 19:15 |
| Anom01y | I tried downloading the source files from rhythmboxes website apparently I need all these extra gnome packages, and I use xfce | 19:16 |
| Anom01y | charlie-tca, hmm what is the launchpad ? | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | https://launchpad.net | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | You probably know one of the reasons Xubuntu doesn't install Rythmbox by default is all those gnome packages? | 19:17 |
| Anom01y | charlie-tca, yeah I know | 19:20 |
| Anom01y | there is just no other media player that is nearly as good | 19:20 |
| Anom01y | the origional Amarok was good | 19:20 |
| Anom01y | amarok2 sucks | 19:20 |
| charlie-tca | exaile | 19:20 |
| Anom01y | i used to use exaile but I switched to Rhythmbox for some reason | 19:21 |
| Anom01y | trying to rememby why | 19:21 |
| Anom01y | charlie-tca, I think the only reason I switched to rhythmbox was the visualizations | 19:29 |
| charlie-tca | oh | 19:29 |
| Anom01y | its just a nicer player | 19:30 |
| Anom01y | but Exaile is really nice and simple | 19:30 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe you could try the exaile visualizations plugin, then | 19:30 |
| Anom01y | sure that would be cool | 19:31 |
| nikolam | Ok, now a bug with Openoffice dying when selecting text inside writer and copying it, is now costing me Time and money. | 19:31 |
| nikolam | Clipper is active and I am pissed again | 19:31 |
| nikolam | I was working on something and because it crashed I missed deadline to post something I was working on. | 19:32 |

| Sysi | i have 2BG ram, when i'm using ristretto and FF at the same time they pretty often crash | 22:34 |
| Sysi | dmesg said "Out of memory: kill.." | 22:35 |
| Sysi | 1GB swap also | 22:35 |
| Sysi | ristretto is using almost 90% of memory :O | 22:39 |
| * TheSheep uses 'comix' instead | 22:45 | |
| Sysi | that's nice? | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | it's much better for reading scanlations than anything else I tried | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | and it's written in python | 22:48 |
| * likemindead vouches for Comix too. :D | 22:58 | |
| Sysi | it has some interesting features | 22:59 |
