| 17:22.23 | stickster | plarsen: Were you looking for me last night? |
| 17:22.48 | stickster | Guess that didn't make it through your connection last time around |
| 17:23.00 | stickster | Either that, or your lag is _really_ bad :-) |
| 17:23.14 | plarsen | stickster: yeah |
| 17:23.27 | plarsen | Sorry, I'm still bogged down with this crap |
| 17:23.55 | 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. |
| 17:24.28 | plarsen | stickster: we need channel title changed |
| 17:24.35 | stickster | oops |
| 17:24.39 | stickster | you're right! |

| 17:28.39 | plarsen | Any clue on the gnome stuff?? |
| 17:35.40 | stickster | plarsen: ?? |
| 17:36.05 | stickster | To which GNOME stuff are you referring? I need a refresh :-) |

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

| 19:44.44 | plarsen | back |
| 19:47.55 | plarsen | no difference with the head-set?? |
| 19:48.12 | plarsen | I mean I hear the same stuff as in the speakers? |
| 19:50.56 | plarsen | btw. I have an ekiga setup now |
| 19:59.41 | plarsen | stickster: ping - sorry ;) |
| 20:00.16 | stickster | Hm. |
| 20:00.34 | stickster | I guess we'll need to dabble with it at the next meeting. |
| 20:02.08 | plarsen | hehe - yeah |
| 20:02.12 | plarsen | If I'll make it |
| 20:02.21 | plarsen | this crap of post radiation is really pulling me down :* |
| 20:04.24 | plarsen | i'm actually hoping to get the 830 up and running |
| 20:04.34 | plarsen | But nothing seems to be working; sound; video etc. |
| 20:04.47 | plarsen | maybe I'll try rawhide on it |
| 20:07.30 | stickster | Yeah, there's a lot of new HAL quirks that are handled in Rawhide, laptop experience is supposed to improve quite a bit |
