[03:16] <AlligatorJoe> well sound is in very bad shape on the pulseaudio device and there seems to be no way to use an alsa device without uninstalling the entire mate desktop
[03:18] <AlligatorJoe> so i guess no one will really be able to listen to the Jim Croche song called "Car Wash Blues"
[03:21] <AlligatorJoe> for some reason the way ubuntu is set up...the alsa device defaults to the pulse device instead of the hardware device
[03:22] <AlligatorJoe> i can see why a lot of people prefer to use the plasma desktop even though you have to have better graphics hardware
[03:23] <AlligatorJoe> but mate is still in good shape except for the terrible audio on the pulse device
[08:14] <sixwheeledbeast> Oh you switched channels
[08:15] <sixwheeledbeast> I haven't tried pointing gstreamer to something other than default but that was how you did it years back.
[08:16] <sixwheeledbeast> some gconftool setting
[08:51] <AlligatorJoe> this os and hp hardware is pure trash...how the os which used to play fine to an alsa port became a piece of crap after many years of working on it thanks to the Frankenstein experimenters that wanted to make sound servers and then screwed everything with them
[08:53] <AlligatorJoe> not only does the xvideo driver option in pcsxr crashes but also music sounds like shit on the pulseaudio sound server when it used to work fine on alsa many years ago
[08:54] <AlligatorJoe> how these hardware manufacturers sell this shit to the public is beyond me
[08:55] <AlligatorJoe> the only music they listen to is the jingle of cash in their bank accounts....damn greedy profit seeking scumbags
[08:57] <AlligatorJoe> and evil,soulless corporations
[08:58] <AlligatorJoe> with talking puppets dressed up in fancy suits and ties to try to disguise their hidden ugliness.
[09:03] <AlligatorJoe> mumbling a bunch of trickledown craponomics they just memorized and regurgitate to the subordinates
[09:06] <AlligatorJoe> and looking under every rock for dollar bills to feed their insatiable greed
[09:25] <AlligatorJoe> they are like alcoholics digging in trash cans looking for another sip of wine.
[09:28] <AlligatorJoe> and not giving us the trillions of dollars that we personally deserve based on our pioneering ideas
[09:35] <AlligatorJoe> we have to sit and watch trillions of dollars flowing in many industries around the world depending on tools based on our ideas and none of them giving us the trillions of dollars they owe us.
[09:39] <AlligatorJoe> lots of money, so we could have some spending money to buy things we need and to be able to save some money for a rainy day or our old age, or be able to afford our wife and kids, or be able to pay bills and lots of other important uses of money
[22:09] <skookum> if I install the daily build of 20.04, and keep updating it, will it be at parity with the official release of the LTS when that occurs?
[22:09] <skookum> or should I just wait the extra month
