I am trying to do this now, but I am not sure to be doing... more » By Marco Maggi - May 23 - 4 new of 4 messages

	Slowness, I/O and kswapd issues

	Hello In two slack14 install (32bit and 64) bits, I installed the XFCE desktop. I installed the Mixer applet. When I mouse scroll on it, it crashes. In 13.37, it used to raise volume down and up. How to make the mixer applet works again? Thanks -- Kevin By Kevin Denis - May 20 - 6 new of 6 messages
