17:22.23sticksterplarsen: Were you looking for me last night?
17:22.48sticksterGuess that didn't make it through your connection last time around
17:23.00sticksterEither that, or your lag is _really_ bad :-)
17:23.14plarsenstickster: yeah
17:23.27plarsenSorry, I'm still bogged down with this crap
17:23.55plarsenIn gnome when you use the vol up/down functions in key mappings, what is actually called? They used to work but no longer. The keys are still mapped, but I wonder why volume up/down/mute doesn't work anymore.
17:24.28plarsenstickster: we need channel title changed
17:24.35sticksteroops
17:24.39sticksteryou're right!

17:28.39plarsenAny clue on the gnome stuff??
17:35.40sticksterplarsen: ??
17:36.05sticksterTo which GNOME stuff are you referring?  I need a refresh :-)
18:08.29plarsen[13:23] <plarsen> In gnome when you use the vol up/down functions in key mappings, what is actually called? They used to work but no longer. The keys are still mapped, but I wonder why volume up/down/mute doesn't work anymore.

18:48.09stickster_afkplarsen: Ah
18:48.21sticksterplarsen:
18:48.23sticksteroops
18:48.40sticksterplarsen: Have you looked at the Keyboard Shortcuts tool already to see what's mapped?
18:53.27plarsenyeah - still mapped
18:54.01plarsenVolume up/down/mute are mapped, and no "missed mapping" are given when Ipush the keys.
19:00.36sticksterplarsen: What model laptop?
19:00.48plarsendell latitude d820
19:01.01plarsenit worked out of the box ... after I configured the short cuts.
19:01.10plarsenbut something's happend ...doesn't work anymore.
19:01.20plarsencan't figure out what really happens ...
19:02.11sticksterplarsen: Have you tried selecting a different keyboard model already?
19:02.27sticksterSystem -> Prefs -> Hardware -> Keyboard
19:02.52sticksterThen choose Keyboard model, Laptop/notbeook Dell Inspiron 6xxx/8xxx
19:03.47plarsenI don't see that
19:03.52sticksterUnder "Layout" ta
19:03.54stickster*tab
19:04.09plarsenDell,dell 101-key pc, dell precission M65 (selected), dell USB ...
19:04.15sticksterLook for "Laptop/notebook"
19:04.24sticksterq.v. abov
19:04.29sticksterMan, can't type today.
19:04.59plarsenOk, changed but no effect :(
19:05.03sticksterHm.
19:06.29sticksterHave you already tried using the standard X keyboard debugging stuff to see what signals the kernel is seeing?
19:07.18plarsenhmmmm - I used dmesg errors to see what keys wheren't mapped. I don't get those messages anymore.
19:18.59sticksterHmm, showkey doesn't seem to be much help here.
19:19.07plarsennope
19:22.41sticksterIf you remap the sound keys to something like <Alt><Shift><Up>/<Down>, does that work?
19:23.36plarsennope
19:23.53sticksterWell, you have a different problem than the keyboard mapping.
19:23.55plarsenIt's like the programs behind the scene isn't using the right mixer or the program called doesn't exist
19:24.08plarsenRight - but I don't know what program gnome is trying to use
19:24.11plarsenSound is working in gnome
19:24.15plarsenIt beeps and stuff
19:24.20sticksterHave you tried rerunning system-config-soundcard?
19:24.29sticksterAnd what is your local multimedia system set to?
19:24.59stickster(System > Prefs > Hardware > Sound)
19:25.24plarsensystem-config-soundcard doesn't produce any sounds ... hmmmm
19:25.54plarsenALSA
19:32.16sticksterplarsen: I'm curious -- if you plug headphones in, do the mapped volume up/down keys (whatever you have them set to now) work there?
19:36.09plarsenhmmm - I don't know ...
19:36.25plarsenI think they're hardwired to turn off the speakers if I do. The normal speakers work
19:36.38plarsenbrb ... gotta reboot.
19:36.48sticksterplarsen: Try plugging in a set and see what changes
19:36.50sticksterplarsen: OK

19:44.44plarsenback
19:47.55plarsenno difference with the head-set??
19:48.12plarsenI mean I hear the same stuff as in the speakers?
19:50.56plarsenbtw. I have an ekiga setup now
19:59.41plarsenstickster: ping - sorry ;)
20:00.16sticksterHm.
20:00.34sticksterI guess we'll need to dabble with it at the next meeting.
20:02.08plarsenhehe - yeah
20:02.12plarsenIf I'll make it
20:02.21plarsenthis crap of post radiation is really pulling me down :*
20:04.24plarseni'm actually hoping to get the 830 up and running
20:04.34plarsenBut nothing seems to be working; sound; video etc.
20:04.47plarsenmaybe I'll try rawhide on it
20:07.30sticksterYeah, there's a lot of new HAL quirks that are handled in Rawhide, laptop experience is supposed to improve quite a bit
