[17:29] I just want a clean and fast desktop. :) [17:30] same here i am just wondering what i lose by chosing LXDE. it seems like just user friendliness, but i dont even know if that is the case if i bother to learn commands [17:33] grape_: I think LXDE is very customisable, even without commands. But maybe you will need to do some things manually. But we can help you. There are already much options in the GUI. :) [17:40] Anyone already installed Cinnamon from deb on AMD64? :) [17:42] smile4ever: not yet, but i tried http://razor-qt.org/ [17:42] not 64bit though... just noticed that [17:42] holstein: did you like razor qt? :) [17:42] Because omgubuntu noted that it was eating up more ram than lxde [17:43] its interesting... really polished.. i dont find it all that light though [17:43] holstein: a new kde?

Thanks a million :D === pAt_ is now known as Guest80071 [21:15] recently installed lubuntu on one of my computers, sound doesn't work. Already tried configuring alsamixer, unmuted everything, still no sound. Is there a GUI sound manager like on the normal ubuntu? [21:19] who broke the sounds! [21:19] what does aplay -l list [21:37] bioterror, card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] (4 times) [21:37] only the device number changes [21:38] so you're hdmi :-) [21:39] aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [21:39] does that work? [21:42] bioterror, nope [21:42] okay [21:42] change that 7 to something else [21:42] until you hear sound [21:43] you have that list from aplay -l [21:43] ok [21:44] bioterror, I don't hear sound on any of those devices [21:44] not even on my headphones (which are plugged in) [21:44] you're using HDMI [21:44] is that connected to TV or what? [21:45] bioterror, ohh, it's only showing the sound of my GPU [21:45] card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog] [21:46] no, I am using DVI for my display [21:46] and my screen has built-in speakers [21:46] which are connected to my sound card [21:46] which is not displayed in the aplay -l list [21:46] why aplay lists only DMI then? [21:46] HDMI [21:46] I don't know [21:47] oh well, that's your problem then [21:47] wait, my display probably has a HDMI connection, the next problem would be.. headset won't work :/ [21:47] do you have HDMI to DVI? [21:47] nope [21:48] and my screen doesn't support HDMI [21:48] Hello [21:48] hmmm [21:48] but alsamixer shows your device correctly? [21:49] Why won't http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/pybliographer install on my lubuntu 11.10? [21:49] AmberJ, you tell us [21:49] I have universe repo selected in synaptic...And, I did sudo apt-get update after enabling it. [21:49] AmberJ: what error(s) do you get? [21:49] bioterror, nope, it has the same problem [21:50] Daniel0108, alsamixer only shows that HDMI interface? [21:50] bioterror, yeah [21:50] okay, that's why analog output doesnt work :-) [21:50] bioterror, wxl oops sorry nevermind. I mistyped the package name :( [21:50] Thanks... [21:50] dooooooooh [21:50] pebkac [21:51] bioterror, can I reload my connected devices? [21:51] *how can I [21:51] hmmm [21:51] bioterror, wxl Even after correct package name, I get "E: Unable to locate package pybliographer" [21:52] it's in the universe [21:52] has nothing to do with partner [21:52] AmberJ: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -i universe [21:52] I would concider another mirror [21:53] bioterror, /etc/init.d/alsasound doesn't even exist :/ [21:53] wxl, http://pastebin.com/pQGXGvX4 [21:55] AmberJ: where are you located at? [21:55] India. [21:55] As bioterror suggested, I'm trying "Main mirror" [21:56] k let me know how it goes [21:56] sure [21:57] AmberJ: archive mirrors by country here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors -- there are three for india [22:00] bioterror, how to restart alsa? [22:01] I dunno about lubuntu now :-) [22:01] now using it atm. [22:03] bioterror, yeah, but isn't alsa always the same? :P [22:03] shall I install pulse? :P [22:03] it worked on pulse [22:04] i have a 2nd generation Intel Core i5-2410M processor... it's 64-bit... which version of lubuntu should i install? [22:04] pitlimit, the 64bit version :P [22:04] pitlimit, 64bit ofcourse [22:04] well the description was confusing [22:04] AMD64 [22:04] it made it seem like I must have an AMD processor to do so [22:04] Switching to "main mirror" found it. Thanks bioterror wxl :) [22:04] pitlimit, the name is amd64, but amd64 always means 64bit [22:04] oh :) [22:04] pitlimit, AMD was first on the 64bit playground, that's why it is used [22:05] also... is lubuntu a better choice than xubuntu? [22:05] pitlimit, and if your processor supports 64bit, use it! If you're not sure, 64bit processors also support 32bit ;) [22:05] pitlimit, lubuntu is more lightweight than xubuntu [22:05] but dont use 64bit if you dont have much RAM ;) [22:05] ok... and less buggy? [22:05] as 64bit uses a bigger address space than 32bit [22:05] it will use more RAM [22:05] bioterror, yeah, indeed :P [22:06] even though, I currently use 64bit with 512MB ram :PP [22:06] :D [22:06] hm bioterror or less depending on how you look at it [22:06] Restarting alsa: http://knol.google.com/k/william-wynn/how-to-restart-alsa-sound-driver-in/3fegkfxlkmrqb/10# Daniel0108 :D [22:06] AmberJ, thanks, but I'm now installing pulse :P [22:06] wait so is lubuntu less buggy than xubuntu? [22:07] Lubuntu uses LXDE while Xubuntu uses Xfce [22:07] AmberJ, also, I tried all of the commands (I always google before asking) :P [22:07] none of them worked for me [22:07] LIES! :P [22:07] ;) [22:07] pitlimit, you cannot really say it's less buggy, I've tried both, it depends on your system and on the programs you use [22:08] the programs are buggy, not the whole operating system ;) [22:08] lxde is under heavy developement ;-) [22:08] or should I say active [22:08] XFce has been there for ages if you compare it to LXdE [22:11] Off now to sleep. Take care :) [22:12] bioterror, weird, still doesn't display my sound card, only HDMI [22:13] Got an issue Daniel0108 ? [22:13] Daniel0108, plugged it to a TV with only HDMI? [22:14] bioterror, it's not plugged in to a TV! :P [22:15] MrChrisDruif, yeah, a sound issue on lubuntu [22:15] Dear God, no! What is the issue exactly? [22:16] MrChrisDruif, alsa/pulse only displays my HDMI output, not the internal one :/ [22:16] !audio [22:16] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.
