What's a/some good way, to fairly quickly get the working pulse-audio system from the Ubuntu 10.04 into a KUbuntu 10.04 system? = Background: KU's pa install is broken: doesn't work. But, Ubuntu's works. In fact, Ric Moore, Ubuntu+KDE user, specifically took extra steps to get a system with a working PA in an Ubuntu 10.04 system that uses the KDE desktop: He installed Ubuntu, & added in KDE. Note: merely adding the pulse-audio package into a KUbuntu 10.04 system brings in a pa system that is broken, doesn't work. = So, given Ric's success, a working KDE system on Ubuntu 10.04 can have PA working properly, I'm thinking there is highly likely some fairly easy way to get the Ubuntu PA stuff into a KUbuntu system. I'm thinking there is likely somewhere on earth someone who can fairly easily figure out how to do that. Probably someone who knows some CS graph dependency theory, some sort search & prune theory & tools, & who can figure out how to query the Ubuntu & KUbuntu 10.04 apt package manager database, & figure out exactly what packages & configurations are needed, & a procedure to get them there/installed. Do a diff on 2 working systems, or on just the package dependency graph, & determine what the relevant differences & necessities are. = Point: I have a working KUbuntu system, with so much configuration & extra sw added to it that it would be an immense job to do a fresh Ubuntu install, add KDE, (to get PA working), & have to add in all the other stuff I've added & configured. Background: this is currently motivated by the fact that my Skype install fails the voice loopback, by returning voice grossly lowered in pitch, but at the proper rate. [In Audacity, I can record & play back my voice fine, so the problem is Skype related, & pulse-audio might provide a better setup for Skype to work from.] IIRC, I'm 50% sure, some months ago Skype did loopback my voice properly. &, I have a vague recollection that pulse audio somehow might have helped, or could help, get this skype problem fixed. = I'm thinking that perhaps, for a working KDE in Ubuntu system, at worst I might have to apt _UN_install some/all of the KDE stuff, then install the pulse audio stuff, & then reinstall the KDE stuff. = Anyone know the answer, or see this as an interesting challenge, & can figure out a way to get pulse-audio working on an already installed KUbuntu 10.04 system?
