[03:04] <DarkwingDuck> grantbow: if I could get my hands on a ExoPC I would LOVE to do any wiki work with it.

[04:05] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: hi
[04:05] <DarkwingDuck> Hey pleia2. I like the idea and after April 7th I'll have time to put toward getting it on it's feet again.
[04:06] <DarkwingDuck> My standard answer... "After April 7"
[04:07] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: I'll be away Apr 8-16 ...but after that!
[04:11] <DarkwingDuck> sounds good pleia2
[04:11] <pleia2> mostly I just wanted to connect the dots to make sure we don't duplicate effort anywhere, and to let you know of my interest :)
[04:24] <DarkwingDuck> I don't know why we couldn't open it up again.
[17:34] <icarus81> Hello
[17:36] <jhanafrog> Hello
[17:38] <icarus81> Hi I having a werid sound issue with my computer. I came to see if I could get some ideas on why it isn't working correctly.
[17:38] <icarus81> Is this the right Chat for that or should I go elsewhere?
[17:39] <jhanafrog> if this is your ubuntu user group, then sure :)
[17:39] <icarus81> Yeah I am in Cali.
[17:39] <jhanafrog> cool
[17:40] <icarus81> So my sound only plays clear with aplay but when I use totem or mplayer I get werid feedback
[17:40] <jhanafrog> well, i can try to help you, but between audio driver, alsa, pulseaudio, and gstreamer it isn't easy.  what version of ubuntu, icarus81?
[17:40] <icarus81> 10.10
[17:40] <icarus81> icarus is fine
[17:41] <jhanafrog> huh?
[17:41] <icarus81> you can just call me icarus not icarus81
[17:41] <jhanafrog> i use tab complete, so that i don't have to type your name out
[17:41] <jhanafrog> i do it so you get notified in your irc client
[17:42] <jhanafrog> in case you are multitasking
[17:42] <icarus81> ah, I see
[17:42] <jhanafrog> so it's an issue with gstreamer and pulseaudio
[17:42] <jhanafrog> that's my guess
[17:42] <jhanafrog> i'm not really sure what will fix the feedback problem
[17:42] <icarus81> I don't think I have pulse but I know i have gstreamer
[17:43] <jhanafrog> do ps aux | grep pulseaudio in a terminal
[17:43] <jhanafrog> if it's a default install you have pulse
[17:44] <jhanafrog> it should show you like 3 lines, one of them will be the grep command and the other should be pulseaudio with pid and everything, something like this:  /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
[17:47] <icarus81> yeah I have pulse
[17:50] <icarus81> this is the command aplay -D plughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav sound comes out fine with this but when I play anything I got feedback I though it was the cable but I used a diffrent one.
[18:22] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems is probably a good place to start
[18:50] <pleia2> ok, for April and May I bumped the SF Ubuntu Hour a week later (so, 3rd Wednesday)
[19:01] <Eureka> wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours edited
[19:11] <pleia2> there, reminders for meeting tonight sent out :)
[19:21] <jhanafrog> icarus81: let me know how it goes.  i'm curious, i've had sound trouble before.
[20:42] <jhanafrog> i just saw one of these:  http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2311/1533431859_6d34f86965.jpg
[20:43] <jhanafrog> he is outside on my outer shirt
[20:43] <jhanafrog> i wasn't sure if i should allow it to crawl on me
[20:43] <jhanafrog> they're called Phidippus apparently
[20:45] <jhanafrog> i'm gonna' go outside and look at it :)
[20:46] <pleia2> good luck :)
[20:55] <jhanafrog> it apparently ran off :|
[20:55] <jhanafrog> i was creeped out putting my outer shirt on
[20:57] <jhanafrog> i thought it might be hiding in it
[23:38] <jhanafrog> this kind of put fedora in perspective for me:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638477#c149
