[00:45] <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).
[00:46] <trebuchet> alsa/pulseaudio are terrible things
[00:47] <MythGuy> Not to be rude, but that doesn't much help.
[00:50] <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.
[00:52] <MythGuy> True, I should have. Thank you for the channel suggestion. I'll go there.
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <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.
[02:50] <mikubuntu> aside from this issue, the machine is running great, but it's a bummer not being able to hear the music

[12:38] <nikolam> This stupid pice of sh* this abiword
[12:38] <nikolam> so full of bugs
[12:39] <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)
[12:40] <nikolam> It just do not display large chunk of a document after selecting, like it is not there (abiword)
[12:44] <nikolam> what a hell. abiword mixed my document all around without order
[12:44] <nikolam> what a nightmare
[17:25] <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
[17:28] <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)
[17:30] <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?
[17:38] <charlie-tca> nikolam: openoffice and abiword are not the same
[17:38] <nikolam> i know.

[19:15] <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.
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <charlie-tca> You probably know one of the reasons Xubuntu doesn't install Rythmbox by default is all those gnome packages?
[19:20] <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
[19:21] <Anom01y> i used to use exaile but I switched to Rhythmbox for some reason
[19:21] <Anom01y> trying to rememby why
[19:29] <Anom01y> charlie-tca, I think the only reason I switched to rhythmbox was the visualizations
[19:29] <charlie-tca> oh
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <nikolam> I was working on something and because it crashed I missed deadline to post something I was working on.

[19:52] <craigbass1976> For some reason, everything but thunderbird prints fine to my brother MFC 7820N.  Any ideas?
[20:33] <lifenotfound> hey, what is the name of the default icon pack in 10.04?
[20:44] <charlie-tca> lifenotfound: elementary xubuntu
[22:34] <Sysi> i have 2BG ram, when i'm using ristretto and FF at the same time they pretty often crash
[22:35] <Sysi> dmesg said "Out of memory: kill.."
[22:35] <Sysi> 1GB swap also
[22:39] <Sysi> ristretto is using almost 90% of memory :O
[22:45]  * TheSheep uses 'comix' instead
[22:46] <Sysi> that's nice?
[22:48] <TheSheep> it's much better for reading scanlations than anything else I tried
[22:48] <TheSheep> and it's written in python
[22:58]  * likemindead vouches for Comix too. :D
[22:59] <Sysi> it has some interesting features
