[12:51] <Pip__> hi, I can't open alsamixer without doing 'sudo alsamixer'.  What am I missing?  Usually there's no problem with just 'alsamixer'.  This is a fresh mini-iso install
[14:19] <ciccio> Hi, I'm updating mu xubunt 12.04 and the installation got stuck for about an hour at zz.update.grub-generic etc. then it moved on to generating grub.cfg and it's been stuck there for an hour now. what shall I do?
[14:24] <cortman> it can take a good while
[14:24] <cortman> just let it for another bit
[14:32] <ciccio> thanx. now it moved on to 'found initrd image'. I keep faith and when I 'll have to leave the office I'll let the pc on. I'm scared that interrupting the update process may compromise the system's integrity.
[15:48] <ciccio> quit
[15:49] <smartboyhw> ciccio: Use "/quit"
