edlikEvery time I update my system lately I get an error message. Could someone help me check this out and guide me to fix it. Here is the paste bin http://pastebin.com/rczRtZEy15:49
geirhaBased on the error message, you may have a syntax error in /etc/default/grub15:50
edlikThat makes sense. I can hardly read the grub menu when it comes up.15:52
geirhaPastebin it and let's have a look15:55
edlikhttp://pastebin.com/SdUwijqt15:56
geirhaAh, Missing an end quote (") on line 1115:58
geirhaSo just edit it and add that, and try again.15:59
edlikThank you so much, this looks like the answer!:)16:04

laurent_I'm having a hard time with pulse audio and audio devices... if someone is interested18:17

laurent_well basically I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with pulse Audio ; i'm trying to configure a 3rd party app which is trying to connect to the mixer, in order to play sounds18:20
laurent_usually this app deals with /dev/mixer, /dev/alsa-ctl, /dev/dsp, all of which are missing on my box18:21
laurent_I looked for an audio related device in /dev, but couldn't find any18:21
laurent_I certainly miss the point about the way pulseAudio works18:22
=== webjadmin_ is now known as jalcine
laurent_nice ! PulseAudio FAQ gave me a good one : using padsp for launching my app might help18:33
