pulseaudio volume differs from alsa volume
I've found a really strange problem in alsa and pulseaudio with my intel H.D.A. chip (on a clean Jaunty install) I opened alsamixer in a terminal, and gnome-volume-control (set the view to playback: HDA intel STAC92xx). now, watching both at the same time, I tried to change the alsa volume, and I found this really strange thing: there is no 1:1 proportion in the 2 volumes. In fact, alsa 36% is pulseaudio 0% This is quite bad! since the volume is mute at 36%!!! does this happen to you? do I need to file a bug to alsa or pulseaudio? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I also unchecked check updates in software sources and yet it still pops up all the time. Am i missing a setting somewhere? Have you tried unchecking Update Manager from Startup Applications (I think its called) under the system menu somewhere?

Re: pulseaudio volume differs from alsa volume
Yes, I had run into similar bug when new style gnome volume control was available in Ubuntu Jaunty betas (for USB headset). After that they reverted to old style mixer. It is clearly Pulse Audio bug of course. If need you need help with reporting it, ping me at GT or write mail.

Spoke too early

Vincenzo I spoke too early: okular does reverse search but not forward searches: it only supports a -p switch. When working with multi-file latex documents it is very comfortable to have the viewer switch to the edit point. Please do not get me wrong: I like okular and hope it will be able to replace kdvi. I understand the desire to get rid of kde3 applications in a kde4 installation; probably patching okular to accept forward searches (and kile to use the same syntax) is very simple and will come soon, but in the meantime could kdvi be re-uploaded? I think it was in jaunty at least until the beta am I wrong?

When working with multi-file latex documents it is very comfortable to have the viewer switch to the edit point. Until now I've only heard talk about the reverse search, and that was the reason for bringing kdvi back in Intrepid. You might be right that forward search doesn't work in Okular; then that is indeed a valid request, that we need to take upstream if it is not already there.

It is not possible to re-add kdvi at this point. But I've just tested, and installing the kdvi package from intrepid works fine in jaunty; so that is a possible solution for now.

replacing xsane by gnome-scan
Seriously, xsane terrifies me. I'm completely lost each time I use it. It reeks of that poorly designed early-90's hacker-app feel. There's Scanner Utility in Add/Remove, but it doesn't let me scan all of my scanner.

Re: replacing xsane by gnome-scan
I agree, gnome-scan is a much better choice. I haven't tested it lately, it might need a little attention to make it suitable, but it isn't hard to be more user friendly than xsane. --Ken On Sat, 2009-04-25 at 18:11 -0500, solaris manzur wrote: Seriously, xsane terrifies me.
