[xubuntu-users] magic processes

I may have sent this before my subscription was processed. If it already appeared, I apologize. Processes keep appearing, eating up to 40% of my cpu. They show up in /tmp. I have absolutely no idea what starts them. They tend to cycle among sleep, gvsfd, initctl and a few others. I kill them

[xubuntu-users] Dummy Output

I did the upgrade today. This one caused some problems, which is unusual. The big one is only a Dummy Output for sound. I can lspci and get results. Killed and restarted pulseaudio. Alsamixer can select between 2 cards, neither of which work (HDA Intel PCH + HDA ATI HDMI). This is a popular

[xubuntu-users] Dummy Solution

After opening up my search, I found a Debian issue: 'timidity' grabs the card before anything else can. Since I don't need a MIDI to WAV converter, I made it go bye-bye. Hopefully it won't reinstall itself, like it did in Satanic Linux. /s
