Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Audio Conf for Lubuntu
2011/9/11 Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset jpx...@gmail.com I've added the PPA for LXPanel made by Julien, but still it haven't upgraded... Oh i see now... LXPanel it's not there for natty :P How can I install it under Natty?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Audio Conf for Lubuntu
For ALSA, a potential candidate GUI mixer is gamix. For PulseAudio, maybe we can use pama. Both are written in pure C language IIRC. Please evaluate them if possible. They are not the best ones, but at least they will be better then xterm -e alsamixer. Other ones I can find are written in python or some other scripting stuff.

I'm not a fan of the solution, because it will add a non translated entry in the menu.

I didn't plan to fix this problem with this solution. My idea was to enable the Configure button when you right click on the volume applet on the panel. So, as it seems to be an annoying bug for people, I take some time to implement this. You can test the result by adding the ppa : ppa:lubuntu-dev/staging . The lxpanel will be available in a few minutes. This is the behavior : - If pulseaudio is detected, it will try to launch the gnome-sound preference if it's installed. If not, it will look at pavucontrol. - Else, it will try to launch gnome-alsamixer, and if it's not on the system, try to launch xterm -e alsamixer. It will offer a GUI for sound configuration, with a bit of dynamism, and without adding an English entry in the menu. Please test it (you need to reboot after installing lxpanel) and give us feedback about this solution.

Alsa :) Been trying Gamix for some minutes, and at first sight is allright, but now i can't get anything to work (go to config and you'll see).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Audio Conf for Lubuntu
I agree. A link to sound preferences makes sense. The only issues I see are 1) alsamixer is not very intuitive and 2) it dumps users into a terminal which might scare the crap out of many of them. :) On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 10:49 AM, Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset jpx...@gmail.com wrote: I know we are pass the freeze, but maybe this shortcut could be added to preferences menu for 11.10.

The only issues I see are 1) alsamixer is not very intuitive and 2) it dumps users into a terminal which might scare the crap out of many of them. :) Completely agree that a terminal app scares a lot of people, but in particular this one it's more friendly than it seems.
