Name of the sound settings application in Ubuntu?












3















I'm trying out Xubuntu and Kubuntu. I have a complicated sound setup which I knew how to setup in Ubuntu but I'm having trouble doing the same in Xubuntu and Kubuntu. I'd like to install the main GUI application from Ubuntu (the one where you click on a taskbar and go to preferences and you see all the devices, input, output...) to try to set the sound in Xubuntu and Kubuntu. What is the name of package I need to install?

Should I expect and conflicts?

          11.04



          It's very straightforward in 11.04...



          however note from comments received - Xubuntu made an active decision not to include the gnome-packages since they depend very much on gnome settings, indicators, etc. Xubuntu and Xfce use xfce4-miser. When it is not sufficient, xubuntu advise pavucontrol be added instead.



          The name of the package in ubuntu is gnome-media



          From a quick test in xubuntu - if you install this, it will replace the screen displayed when you choose sound-preferences from the panel.



          The command launched in gnome-volume-control



          In terms of packages installed -



          sudo apt-get install gnome-media


          gave the following results:



          The following extra packages will be installed:
          gnome-media-common libgladeui-1-11 libgnome-media0
          The following NEW packages will be installed
          gnome-media gnome-media-common libgladeui-1-11 libgnome-media0


          11.10



          Its not so straightforward in 11.10...



          The package in oneiric is called gnome-control-center and you would display the sound preferences with the command



          gnome-control-center sound



          If you try to install (simulated) you will notice it will effectively try to install most of the Unity shell...



          sudo apt-get -s install gnome-control-center

          I'm not sure if it's the same as what you get from the top bar in Ubuntu, but pavucontrol might help.
