penguin42oh that's quite neat actually12:16
switchtehbeathi, there. :)12:16
ali1234popey: what is unity_gtk_shell_menu?12:19
ali1234is it related to appmenus (global menu) or HUD?12:19
popeydunno12:19
popeyprobably12:19
ali1234it's definitely one or the other12:19
ali1234zero hits on google for unity_gtk_shell_menu12:20
zmoylan-pigoogle isn't what it used to be12:20
ali1234i have a feeling that the HUD integration patches are crashing thunar now12:21
ali1234we already fixed the crashes caused by the global menu inegration hacks12:21
zmoylan-pii recently had to switch away from unity as he bugs were getting weirder12:21
ali1234yeah the thing is you only have to have unity installed, and it patches your gtk to hell :)12:22

* penguin42 hands bigcalm the mindbleach15:57
SuperEngineerbigcalm - using a combo of SMPlayer & [playlister of your choice] - i suspect it os15:57

bigcalmUsing a chome plugin in chromium, seems to have done the trick15:58
SuperEngineercool15:58
* SuperEngineer hugs SMPlayer YouTube Browser15:59
SuperEngineerbigcalm: a thought - have you got Dear Esther working in 14.04?  It wouldn't install for me cos the libraries are deprecated... all research came up with "iffy" options - late found to be confirmed.16:04
bigcalmSuperEngineer: haven't tried it since the bundle release16:04
SuperEngineer[i now have a miniture Mint partition just for Dear Ester lol[16:04
* SuperEngineer knows of someone else on this channel who has been seen on Steam playing it]16:07
SuperEngineer... no names mentioned but "he" also has a windows pooter which I suspect is where "he" was playing it...16:09
SuperEngineer...or was *he* playing on Mint himself, I wonder16:11
SuperEngineer[damn - *he*'s not taking the bait]16:12
SuperEngineer;)16:12

* penguin42 yaaawwwnns23:20
doubacoluxury. i cant even yawn as my lubuntu netbooks no sound23:20
doubacoi tried volume contol nothing. i tried bbc r4.asx stream nothing, i tried iplayer, nothing.23:21
penguin42hmm23:24
penguin42doubaco: Personally I like to use a program called paman to debug sound23:25
doubacopenguin42: what's paman and how can a noob like me use it?23:27
penguin42doubaco: Start by installing the paman package - it's a manager for the 'Pulse audio' system that does a lot (but not all) of the audio work23:28
penguin42doubaco: It's got a GUI and I can talk you through some stuff; if you don't find it with that then you might need to try alsamixer, but start with paman23:29
doubacoit found it23:29
penguin42doubaco: So start paman and go to the devices tab, and look at the list of 'sinks' - does it list something like Built-in audio/analog stereo?23:30
