Hello David,

Please address your mail to the list so that all can benefit.


Lubuntu is just Ubuntu with LXDE desktop instead of Gnome/Unity
desktop.
There is no need to upgrade to 12.10 if you have 12.04 up to date,
which happens
automatically.

Your problem sounds like it is to do with ALSA configuration.
ALSA is a completely baffling piece of the Ubuntu OS.
Alsa is definitely not Ubuntu specific.



You will need to edit some of the ALSA configuration files
so that when the headset is plugged in, the headset's mic and speaker
are
prioritised,
and when they are not, your main speaker and mic(if any) are
prioritised.
Google is your friend - over a quarter of a million hits for "ubuntu
12.04" and
"alsa",
the one you want is among them.
I don't think looking through a quarter of a million hits is the sort
of experience anybody would want to enter into.
Let alone somebody who is obviously a little new to the environment.

If alsa is the problem.
Apparently there is sound to some degree.

If he were to try 'alsactl init' as root and then call up 'alsamixer'
to set levels, that would probably fix most problems.
After that refer to the forums for his distribution would probably
supply the rest of the answer, if any was required and, in fact,
might be the best resource in the case of a bug unique to his distro
first up.
In SFLphone, you can also select which devices you want to use with ALSA if you choose
the dmix plugin.

I have older laptop.  Have lubuntu 12.04 installed.  Cant' upgrade
to 12.10
due to computer not having PAE thingy?
Hello Aaron,

The PAE thingy is no more than multicore facility.
If you don't have a multicore processor, it simply defaults to
single core.
Unless there is some other aspect involved, this should not stop
you from
upgrading.
Just to clarify, PAE doesn't have anything with multicore.
PAE stands for physical address extension, which allows 32 bit processors
that support it to address more than 4GB of memory.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
Unfortunately, certain processors (e.g. Pentium M) don't support
it. AFAIK, if you have such a processor, you can't upgrade to 12.10 with the
default kernel that is provided.

</snip>

Then it might be an idea for Aaron to post what CPU he has installed, or the read out from lshw.
This could save a lot of work if it is from an obsolete CPU type.

I remember it.
Intel had it mounted on an Intel board and it was matched to its own specific RAM type and only worked with that.
Another effort to 'capture the market'.
Regards,

David

That's if the SFLPhone devs don't have an easier answer for you.
Kind regards,
I've created an issue for us to test SFLphone on Lubuntu:

Best,
Tristan

David Crosswell.
