|Anthony|i want to run pulseaudio in system-wide mode. Following http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide the groups it lists are already present. it also says to make a home for pulse user. is there any issue with this and if so how can i revert the changes on failure02:58
holstein|Anthony|: wonder if you could get by with testing on a live CD...03:00
|Anthony|it wouldn't be a proper test in my use case tbh03:00
|Anthony|i'm working on multiseat if you remember03:00
|Anthony|which would of course require some xorg and lightdm configs that wouldn't persist after a reboot03:01
|Anthony|nor could they go into effect without one03:01
|Anthony|catch 22 hehe03:01
|Anthony|and a vm wouldn't suffice either i think03:01
holsteinhmmmm... you could ask in #opensourcemusicians in case anyone there has done anything like that.. most folk there do alsa only though03:02
holsteinlooks like that would be challenging to "undo" at a quick glance03:03
|Anthony|so many chans out there... hard to keep track03:03
|Anthony|adduser --system --ingroup pulse --home /var/run/pulse pulse03:03
|Anthony|that is my only concern really03:03
|Anthony|really, the whole project is above my pay grade, but i'm looking to promote myself03:05
|Anthony|this is a summary of my efforts with pulse: http://pastebin.com/AsAjQTcy03:06
holsteini wouldnt be scrared of alsa only if it helps.. though pulse should be capable03:07
|Anthony|i'm gonna give it a go03:08
|Anthony|what's the worst that could happen03:08
|Anthony|hehe03:08
holstein:)03:08
|Anthony|so close03:09
|Anthony|the audio is the only thing in the way03:09
|Anthony|both seats work fine. hotplugging works as expected03:09
|Anthony|system is stable03:10
Unit193I generally run off to the archwiki for their alsa and pulseaudio section, been quite handy.03:10
|Anthony|arch and gentoo have great wikis03:10
|Anthony|but *buntu has better packages03:11
|Anthony|and apt (imo) is far better than other package systems03:11
xubuntu340Hello03:12
xubuntu340anyone can help me??03:12
|Anthony|ask and ye shall receive03:12
Unit193|Anthony|: Heh, was just saying you can use their wiki with Ubuntu, just a little translate from arch to Ubuntu style.03:13
xubuntu340I have problems with some files I have on my removable disk03:13
xubuntu340anyone can help me?03:14
|Anthony|i knew what you meant Unit19303:14
|Anthony|xubuntu340, state your question/problem03:14
xubuntu340I have problems with some files I have on my removable disk03:14
|Anthony|just rm -R /03:15
|Anthony|and all your problems will go away03:15
|Anthony|kidding don't do that03:15
xubuntu340I can not change folder permissions anthony03:15
|Anthony|there is a problem03:16
xubuntu340?03:16
xubuntu340you  understand ?03:18
|Anthony|yes03:18
holstein!chown03:18
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions03:18
xubuntu340I need to change the permissions of my folders03:19
xubuntu340ah oks03:19
xubuntu340tnks03:19
|Anthony|files folders03:19
|Anthony|it's all a file03:19
holsteinxubuntu340: you should be able to right click and see what the options are. you can also run a file manager as root, though its not advised to do without care03:20
xubuntu340all my files contained removable disk with the name of ROOT03:21
holsteinxubuntu340: you'll be able to chown what you need03:21
|Anthony|chown is the way to go03:22
holsteinthe root filemanager i mentioned will have access to those files as well, though chown is the way to go03:22
|Anthony|using the dialog boxes from gksudo nautilus usually fails for subfolders and files03:22
|Anthony|in my experience03:23

erkan^i go read this03:27
xubuntu340ok03:29
|Anthony|one of the first things i did once in xubuntu03:29
xubuntu340chmode not working03:29
holsteinchmod*03:29
holsteinxubuntu340: whats the issue?03:30
xubuntu340sumo chown not working03:30
holsteinxubuntu340: sudo*03:30
holsteinxubuntu340: are you typo-ing those commands?03:30
xubuntu340I do not understand holstein03:31
holsteinxubuntu340: im asking, if you typo-d the commands?03:31
holsteinxubuntu340: its sudo, not somu03:31
xubuntu340sudo03:32
holsteinif, as root (sudo) you change the permissions of a directory, then you will give permissions to whatever user you specified03:33
holsteinyou likely need to read the part about applying the settings to the files under that directory03:33
holsteinhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77037503:34
holsteinxubuntu340: note *recipe for disaster* there03:35

xubuntu340oks03:36
holsteinxubuntu340: the -R flag is what you want03:36
xubuntu340I'm looking03:36
xubuntu340Wait a second please03:37
holsteinsure... you'll need to elaborate anyways... i still dont know if thats the issue03:38

Gamoder_Hi everyone, I got the following problem: I am using Ubuntu 12.10 (don't redirect me to #ubuntu+1 please since this problem existed in 12.04 as well) with XFCE - and whenever I type ALT+F2 it takes ages (10-30 s) to load the application launcher - even starting a terminal is faster (and in fact, I often do that)12:21
recon_tvGamoder_: dont think xubuntu even has a application launcher12:23
Gamoder_it has. Type ALT+F212:24
Gamoder_well12:24
Gamoder_press the keys12:24
Gamoder_and then wait a bit12:24
recon_tvGamoder_: but the problem is probably in unity. but I have no ideas so i'll shut up12:26
toraxIt pops up instantly with me12:27
Gamoder_well - I do not use unity12:27
Gamoder_I just use XFCE12:27
Gamoder_well - strangely unity-files-daemon and unity-music-daemon is startet12:28
recon_tvGamoder_: how did you setup xface? a clean install?12:30
recon_tvGamoder_: how did you setup you computers, a clean install of xubuntu?12:30
Gamoder_recon_tv: no, an install of ubuntu, then I installed xubuntu-desktop12:32
recon_tvGamoder_: I would think thats the cause then12:32
Gamoder_yeah, but it shouldn't make the application launcher start that slowly12:34
Gamoder_I am able to afford some MB of Ram for a not-that-clean-install12:34
recon_tvGamoder_: why would more ram help? anyway, why stick with a fraken install?12:35
Gamoder_recon_tv: oh - no, I mean: I got enough Ram for some senseless daemons; and - maybe because I want both unity and xfce?12:40
Gamoder_unity looks good so it is nice if some other person comes and I use it for "showing" that linux can be beautiful. On the other hand, I like xfce more for doing real work12:41
recon_tvGamoder_: well maybe some else here might know the details, afraid I don't :(12:42
