I have to click on the volume icon in the notification area to actually change the volume.
    Are you using alsa or pulse audio? Might be that but I'm just guessing.

    Like everything about it, including the rat. Runs great on my now 9 years old Sony laptop.

    I'm using Pulse Audio, since that's what Xubuntu uses by default.

    My teacher always removed PulseAudio from Xubuntu first thing, until Precise finally got PulseAudio working in Xubuntu without issues.

    Re: Xubuntu Appreciation Thread

    i thought i had already posted on this thread.

    been using xubuntu since i learned of gnome 2 impending death.

    i prefer xubuntu (xfce) because it is customisable and tidy. i need to be able to configure it just right, to make things easily distinguishable, yet also change that which distracts me, for the sake of efficiency.

    i like leafpad, ristretto image viewer, screenshooter, thunar, terminal emulator, abiword is good for the rare times i require anything more than a text editor. i have been geeking long enough that i know which applications i like to use. i have also finally settled, i am staying with this system until EOL.

    i am what a lot of people would consider boring, because i only do security updates, i dont need or want for the latest software, i like it to stay the same for a while.

    theming is something silly and fun to do inbetween all the intense stuff.

    How would I go about doing that? How would I make the switch to alsa? I've never had to mess with any sound configurations in Linux before.

    Don't remove Pulseaudi. Install 'pauvcontrol' and then you have full control over it. Much better than alsa, IMHO. Sits on top usually anyhow so you have PulseA and alsa anyhow.

    You will then find 'PulseAudio Volume Control' in Applications>Multimedia and can stick the icon on your toolbar and control what you want.

    Re: Xubuntu Appreciation Thread

    I'm temporarily witholding my previous Xubuntu admiration, since it just hit me with a sudden nasty bug out of the blue. I have a help request in the appropriate forum, but these unexpected instabilities can really dampen one's enthusiasm.

    I'll go back to the KDE appreciation thread!

    Re: Xubuntu Appreciation Thread

    Xubuntu is one of my all time favs when I'm in the mood for a simple and effective OS, but by no means is it the be all. Nothing is. Just find what works for you and be happy.
