Could try running it "windowed", start it from the terminal with the -w option. See if it at least runs that way.

Hello, hivar, and welcome to #!

Have you tried alsamixer, instead of amixer? alsamixer is a pretty tried and true bare-bones way of getting volume levels set/unmuted.

In a terminal, just type :

alsamxer

You should see some bars. You can use your keyboard's arrow keys to move between bars that correspond to your PCM and Master Channel. You can use the M key on your keyboard to toggle a given channel being muted or not, and the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to raise or lower the volume of the selected channel.

A nice wiki page on alsamixer : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsamixer

Hope that helps somehow!

murak : 3.5 from the ubuntu repos is not beta, but they kept the beta name as part of not replacing firefox 3.0 as the default/standard ubuntu 9.04 browser. I have also used the ubuntuzilla script as described by NewCityVegas above and also found it to work very nicely. If you go that route please do read the instructions on the script's homepage carefully, there's good stuff there about how to have firefox 3.5 be able to update itself sort of like it does on Windows, IF you want to go that route.

mehall : sorry about that, done now.

So I'm one of those irritating early adopters who has installed a minimal CLI install of Ubuntu 9.04 and used the testing Crunchbang 9.04.01 script. Things seem nice, except for the little language button in the panel that always starts me in GB instead of US, even when I've set American English to be the default in the GDM screen. To get rid of that, anyone know if I can just uninstall SCIM or whatever that language-choosing app/applet is?

Hi all,

The 0.3.999 version of lxpanel was something I packaged to try and correct the issue in the previous version of lxpanel for 64-bit where icons didn't render in the taskbar. The 0.3.999 version did indeed fix that issue, but as others have noted here it comes with its own set of fun. I double-checked my packages, and I followed the guidelines for configuration options that the upstream authors of lxpanel recommended. Looking at the upstream bugtracker for lxpanel it seems as though there are numerous stability complaints, from various users running different distros.

corenominal, my hat is off to you and anyone else who develops/packages. I cannot imagine the unending cycle of frustration of try this, patch that, fixed that issue but introduced new issue so try this, patch that...ugh.

This is NOT meant as a snarky reply, please don't take it that way. I went to sourceforge.net, did a search for "novel writing", and got 1296 matches. Now some of those only match one word or the other, but even so, there is a LOT to wade through. The programs you listed in your original post seem to be the standouts in terms of features and quality, but again, there seems to be a lot available.

No worries, just keep tinkering away and asking questions, and have fun with it all!

Tux in space. Nice!

njama, don't worry about asking questions, the community here is knowledgeable and friendly. Google, of course, is your friend, but if that friend lets you down, ask nicely and someone here is sure to bring their own search-fu to help your cause.
