poningruhmm00:19
poningruI think there is something wrong with turning on the fan in my laptop after coming back up from hibernate00:19
poningruas in the cpu temp goes waaay up00:19
poningrubut the fan doesnt kick in00:19
poningrubut only after I hibernate and then come out of it00:20
DanaGDon't you just love broken BIOSes?00:32
DanaGI've been lucky to only have the opposite problem, and only occasionally:00:33
DanaGMy ACPI Thermal Zone will sometimes randomly decide it's really hot, and ramp the fans way up, and stick that way until I reboot.00:34
poningruhmm you think its the bios?00:34
poningruoh that makes sense I guess00:34
poningruwhats hibernate?00:34
poningruS5?00:34
DanaGOr rather, the ACPI code -- what's called a "DSDT".00:34
DanaGI find it odd that it'd work after hibernate -- hibernate seems mostly like shutdown, to me.00:35
poningruS400:35
DanaGSomewhere the kernel must be poking something in a way that makes the fan work.00:35
poningruno I think its probably the bios00:35
DanaGDSDT is stored in / part of the BIOS.00:35
poningruoh hmm00:35
DanaGBut you can override it if you can find a fixed one online.00:36
DanaGYou'd have to look up your system (laptop or desktop or whatever) by model number, along with the word 'ACPI'.00:37
poningruyeah tried that already00:37
poningruhavent really found anything00:37
poningruoh well not my laptop00:37
poningrujust the chipset00:37

crimsunhmph.  We seem to have a problem with the default mixer element being mislabeled in pavucontrol.00:54
crimsune.g., PCM vice Master00:54
DanaGPulseAudio does odd things to my USB headset.00:58
DanaGThe control name in alsamixer is "Speaker".  When I try to use the gnome volume control, the left channel repeatedly drops to zero volume.00:58
crimsunDanaG: what're the `lshal` and `asoundconf list` bits for your headset?01:03
DanaGoh01:06
DanaGasoundconf list:  "Headset"  (without quotes)01:07
DanaGWhich part of LSHAL?  Just name and Device ID?01:07
DanaGinfo.product     Logitech USB Headset01:08
crimsunDanaG: everything relevant to your headset.01:08
DanaGI'll pastebin the whole thing, then.01:09
DanaGhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49369/01:11
DanaGOddly, it shows up as a composite device with only one subdevice.01:11
DanaGI guess they must make another model that uses similar chips but adds a HID device, or something.01:11
crimsununfortunately there's no SSID info01:14
crimsunthat's the only way that can be cross-referenced01:14
DanaGSSID?01:16
crimsunsubsystem identifier01:16
DanaGOh yeah, another odd thing is that it shows three "USB Audio Interface" devices in hal-device-manager tree, but only one has the sound card subdevice.01:16
crimsunhal just needs to be taught about it.01:17
DanaGEven Windows shows it as a USB Composite Device.  Besides that cosmetic issue, the "mutes left channel" is the real issue.01:17
DanaGI believe PulseAudio is what's doing that.01:17
crimsun...01:18
crimsunwhy would PA have anything to do with what d-01:18
crimsunh-d-m exposes?01:18
DanaGOh wait, it's not pulseaudio.  Even without PA running, gnome volume control still mutes the left channel.01:18
crimsunso we need to look at GSt if alsamixer/amixer/aumix work correctly.01:19
DanaGAAh.  Console alsamixer works correctly.01:19
pwnguini do wish liferea had proper mime type handling01:42

romistrubwhat's this new sound system being developed?02:03
romistrubI'm entirely new to the linux community (first week) and my friend (who intro'd me) told me about this new sound system02:04
DarkMageZromistrub, possibly pulseaudio.02:25
* DanaG uses PulseAudio.02:28
DanaGIt can do wonderful things, but it also can cause evil bugs in poorly-coded apps.02:28
DanaGFor example, one time PulseAudio crashed, and the next time Pidgin went to play a sound, it sat there eating up my memory until it was taking 80% of (RAM + SWAP).02:29
DarkMageZhehe, pidgin = poorly coded app =D02:30
DarkMageZis there a way to stop this new xorg from ignoring /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?02:49

DanaG2+2 = ....buzz..buzz..buzz... 10.     In base 4, I'm fine.05:33
DanaGs/=/is/05:34
DanaGHmm, I just discovered ANOTHER thing about PulseAudio:06:45
DanaGIt uses the "PCM" slider of my Audigy, not the "Front", so I can't upmix.06:45
=== FunnyHat is now known as FunnyLookinHat
=== Tomcat_` is now known as Tomcat_
DanaGPulseAudio also won't automatically use surround on my Audigy2.07:08
Hobbseeyour sound setup sounds terrible.07:08
Hobbseecrimsun: fix it :)07:08
Hobbseecrimsun: DanaG's sounds worse than my old frankenstinean laptop, no?07:08
DanaGNo, it actually sounds rather good.07:09
crimsunit should sound better.  It uses speex's resampler by default.07:09
crimsunalso, I noted the mixer element issue above.07:09
crimsunit's 2 AM localtime, so I will have to peer more closely later today.07:10
* Hobbsee was meaning level of tempramentalness, not actual sound07:10
DanaGOh, and daemon.conf seems to have had all comments removed lately.07:11
DanaGthe .dpkg-old version still has them.07:11
crimsunum, no.07:11
crimsunthat's very much a local issue for you.07:12
DanaGOdd.07:12
crimsunHobbsee: yes, but [un]fortunately that's not PA's fault.  We can blame ALSA for the overly complex mixer elements enumeration for EMU10Ks.07:13
crimsungranted now that we've had that for upwards of a half-decade, we have to carry that legacy compatibility...07:13
DanaGIf you need sleep, you should get sleep.07:13
Hobbseetrue07:13
Hobbseejust don't give up sound, whatever you do07:13
DanaGIt's 11:13 for me (Pacific) so I should go to bed soon, anyway.07:13
Knightlusthi all, quick question.. i have hardy installed, but i want kde4.. how do i go about that. i tried installing kde4 and kde4-core but aptitude gave me dependency errors and won't install it.07:14
DanaGThat reminds me... I've spotted a few bugs in various packages, but I reeeally need to formally file them.07:14
crimsun(speaking of KDE 4, I'm quite pleased that it will be an option for 8.04.)07:14
DanaG....and not get stuck in an endless cycle of "I'll do it tomorrow".07:15
crimsunmemoserv your primary irc nick.07:15
crimsunuse tomboy or stickies, etc.07:15
Hobbseeuse compiz.07:16
Hobbseeannotate :)07:16
Hobbseefar more effective.07:16
DanaGThere's also some "don't forget the milk" site online.07:16
* Hobbsee thinks annotate is far more effective07:17
DanaGIt's not permanent, though.07:17
crimsununfortunately compiz requires enabling dri, and simply enabling dri is strongly correlated to a plummet in work productivity by sig11s.07:17
* DanaG uses nvidia.07:18
DanaGI just hope ATI is better than NVIDIA by the time summer rolls around.07:18
DanaGOh, one of the bugs I need to file: that scheduler issue.07:18
crimsun(my symptom is similar to #175744.)07:18
HobbseeDanaG: for every bug you file, you either have to fix one, or triage 2.07:18
DanaGHmm, is src-sinc-fastest better than the speex resampler?07:19
crimsunno07:19
DanaGI guess I need to either give up folding@home or resign myself to running hot.07:20
DanaGEven if I 'nice' the folding@home processes, anything else (such as PulseAudio) using CPU will speed it up.  Perhaps I just need to change the thresholds.07:20
crimsunhmm, or be more precise regarding "better".07:20
DanaGBetter as in audible quality difference.07:21
crimsunthen no, it's most definitely "worse" than the default speex one used.07:21
crimsunyou could also just disable resampling period.07:22
DanaGI haven't thought about how that'd work.07:22
crimsunI would definitely disable resampling before burning a hole in my pants.07:23
crimsungranted, if it came to that, I'd chase down a bug in src:linux.07:23
crimsunbarring that and using laziness, revert to l-i-2.6.22-14-generic07:23
crimsunok, time to board the train.07:24
crimsun^Ad07:24
DanaGHuh?07:24
DanaGTrain?07:24
crimsun^Wmetro, aka "train"07:25
DanaGOh yeah, is there a way to make snd-usb-audio be able to give multiple indexes, but none below a certain number?07:26
crimsunmore precise example?07:27
DanaGEeh, perhaps commas will work.07:27
FjodorAnecdotal remark of a time long past, but back in the days when 2.6.15 was the supplied kernel (was that the dapper?), my laptop reported a cpu temperature in the high 40's or low 50's. After dist-upgrading, it ran consistently in the high 50's and up to 65-67C...07:27
crimsunyes, commas would work.07:27
FjodorJust apropos "running hot"...07:27
billytwowillyIs there a way to customize the big black bar at the bottom of kde 4?07:27
crimsunI recommend using slots=  for snd.ko instead of index=  for snd-*.ko, though.07:27
crimsununfortunately that [slots] param isn't in 1.0.15 in 2.6.2407:28
crimsunyou'll need hg or a snap07:28
DanaGI indent to have onboard be 0, audigy be 1, and anything usb be 2 or above.07:29
DanaG...but then again, with PulseAudio, it doesn't matter.07:29
crimsunright, I wouldn't use plug: for PA07:29
crimsunjust use PA natively07:29
crimsun(w/ hal)07:29
crimsunI think I made that comment earlier last night07:30
DanaGOh yeah, now I remember why I keep them in a certain order: for the Gnome mixer.07:30
crimsun(https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/109439/comments/4)07:31
ubotuLaunchpad bug 109439 in pulseaudio "pulseaudio should use default alsa devices" [Undecided,New]07:31
DanaGPulseaudio as default, using default:  bad.  Very bad.  I know -- I've tried it, accidentally.07:32
DanaGGaack, that hotplug sound always catches me by surprise. It's actually kind of funny that I haven't learned not to put headphones on until after I've plugged them in.07:33
DanaG(referring to 'conditioned response', partly.)07:34
crimsunok, really 'night.07:34
DanaGGood nigh.07:34

DanaGNext thing I think I'll do: ditch my Audigy and get a CM106-based USB sound card.07:35
* DanaG redirects his rant to /dev/null07:35

MaximLevitskyOne question, I updated the system to hardy, and notice that all gtk application use some default and not-good theme. How can I fix this, or is this a bug?10:47
MaximLevitskyI used feisty before, then updated to gutsy, used it for a day, and then updated to hardy. Usially I "update" the system by reinstalling newer version, and this is why I used so outdated version. But now I dicovered that updates aren't bad at all, and now I am back using beta-version of ubuntu10:49
MaximLevitskyMostly this is the only problem I have10:50
MaximLevitskyI use kubuntu10:50
pvandewyngaerdeFF3 is ugly here, also gtk related i think10:51
pvandewyngaerdealso kubuntu10:51
MaximLevitskyI have all gtk applications ugly: large fonts, square window98 like buttons, etc10:53
MaximLevitskyI meant square widgets10:53
MaximLevitskyI need to know whenever this is a config-related issue, or a real bug that I will report10:54
MaximLevitskyBefore the update all applications, but vmware-server did look right10:54
