That's not the point. I disliked the awkward combination of Thunar+Catfish (which couldn't even interact with the files it found besides open them). So, I grabbed another file manager which had what...

Hello,

I disliked Thunar's lack of a search function that actually worked with the file manager, so I decided to install Nemo instead. Afterwards I attempted to remove Thunar. Now, Nemo is...

What about Fruity Loops Studio, or Ableton Live? I'm not into music production but from what I've seen those are the standard for audio production nowadays. Particularly if you're an independent...

Hi all, I've recently started using iTunes again in Windows because it is the best music manager around IMO, with the latest update to version 11. I know I sound like a joke, especially to the open...

You may have noticed the "fglrx" and "Catalyst Control Centre" in my first post. That means I have an AMD graphics card. :P
The ASUS HD 7770 (1 GB), to be exact.

I'm inclined to believe it's...

Hi all, been a while since I posted on these forums.

I've been using Ubuntu 12.10 with the default Unity config (tried Cinnamon but preferred it pre-config'd like in Mint).

I've noticed for a...

I just bought and finished the original Crysis on the Xbox 360 the other day (Games on Demand). That and Mass Effect are probably my favourite games published by EA. Then there's Star Wars: The Old...

That's funny, Windows 8 with a direct upgrade from Windows 7 - not a clean install - on my desktop computer runs faster than Windows 7.
I take it the last time you used a modern Windows OS was...

If you absolutely must use Adobe Photoshop, then sorry but Linux will never be for you. Why? Because Adobe are a-holes and are dropping support for everything Linux, INCLUDING FLASH (not that it ever...

Hi all, I decided to give Xubuntu a try because Lubuntu is, IMO, too lightweight, and I thought it was missing a few features.

Right away after plugging in my LiveUSB drive, I was pleased with the...

I agree. Speaking of the GUI, I had to switch to Lubuntu because Unity (Compiz) kept crashing with the Nvidia drivers that came with the install CD.
And they call 12.04 a long-term support distro?...

Well, once I finally figure out how to burn files split using the "split" command to multiple DL discs, I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu (fresh install) to my other, 500 GB hard drive. Perhaps that'll...

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Seems to be basically a GUI for the split/cat commands, but was made by people who know what they're doing...
Unlike me...

EDIT: Okay, I tried it, and it fails....

Heh, same here. This fact just confirmed itself when I switched out a defective motherboard a little while back, and Windows was broken (irreparably, I might add) while Ubuntu took it in stride. The...

Sorry, forgot to check back here as I've been busy and I guess I turned off email notifications. :-/

Anyway, yes, I "messed around in the GUI" as you put it, in fact that's all I did. The Advanced...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but I can only get Centre/LFE to work, not the rear channels, and the front speakers are considerably louder than the centre one. Not sure if that's...

After installing a new motherboard (ASRock N68C-S UCC), I booted into Ubuntu to discover that the front two speakers work, but it seems as if the mobo is not detecting the other two jacks as outputs,...

Please don't revive old threads.

Especially ones that are almost 2 years old now.

If you are experiencing a similar problem to those listed above, please create your own thread and post your...

Had to install a new motherboard yesterday and when I boot into Ubuntu (after trying to fix problems caused by updates) the left speaker is the only one out of my 5.1 setup that works. That is, the...

Huh... that has happened on occasion with me on Ubuntu 12.04, but as I always change the resolution back to native as soon as I am able to in game settings, it's a bit of a non-issue for me.
Really,...

By the way, I did end up fixing my sound issues.

The solution is this: fiddle around with your sound levels in Sound Preferences, selecting different output devices (preferably one that doesn't...

I have Windows 7 on one hard drive and Ubuntu 12.04 on another. The Windows drive is 500 GB and has a separate "Libraries" partition that takes up most of the drive. The Ubuntu drive is 80 GB. If I...

Really odd stuff going around here...
Fresh install of 12.04. Sound seemed to work perfectly the first time I booted, though I wasn't really paying attention.

Here are my issues:


5.1 setup,...

Hi, I'd just like to know how to do that? Fresh 12.04 install here, same problem as your original post: front speakers dead (or very, very quiet, not sure).

I looked in alsamixer but there was no...
