| Geocosm | My mic amplification keeps turning itself up to 100% which is way way way too loud. I put it back down to unamplified but when I talk it automatically shoots back up to 100% | 02:31 |
|---|---|---|
| Geocosm | How do I make my input volume not possessed? | 02:31 |
| holstein | Geocosm: in what application? | 02:31 |
| Geocosm | Sound Preferences | 02:31 |
| holstein | see if there are 'automatic' controls | 02:31 |
| holstein | Geocosm: right, but with what application? | 02:32 |
| holstein | that could be an application setting | 02:32 |
| Geocosm | It's in the Input tab in Sound Preferences | 02:32 |
| holstein | i remember seeing something in skype that says 'manage settings' | 02:32 |
| holstein | Geocosm: yes, but what are you using the mic with | 02:32 |
| Geocosm | Tons of things. | 02:32 |
| Geocosm | Mangler, Skype, G+ | 02:32 |
| holstein | Geocosm: well, im proposing that those applications have control of that, and are changing those settings | 02:33 |
| Geocosm | Interesting. | 02:33 |
| holstein | you can always open skype, look for the settings im mentioning, and try it while you wait on someone else | 02:33 |
| holstein | you can also install pavucontrol if its still available in whatever version of ubuntu you are running | 02:33 |
| Geocosm | Ah. Allow Skype to adjust my mixer levels. But... it's still doing it. | 02:34 |
| holstein | Geocosm: OK.. so we can call that 'ruled out' then | 02:35 |
| holstein | its not application specific then | 02:35 |
| holstein | Geocosm: is this something that has always happened, or something that has just started happening? | 02:35 |
| holstein | are you up do date with all package upgrades? | 02:35 |
| holstein | did you see anything helpful in 'pavucontrol' ? | 02:36 |
| Geocosm | I'm not sure. | 02:36 |
| Geocosm | I am. | 02:36 |
| Geocosm | I didn't look yet | 02:36 |
| holstein | cool... let me know when you have time to do some troubleshooting :) | 02:37 |
| Geocosm | Installing it now | 02:37 |
| Geocosm | ok. installed. | 02:42 |
| holstein | i assume you are looking in alsamixer? in the terminal? | 02:43 |
| Geocosm | applications>sound & video>Pulseaudio volume control | 02:43 |
| holstein | right, but prior to coming here, you were looking in alsamixer? | 02:44 |
| holstein | if you open a terminal and type | 02:45 |
| holstein | alsamixer | 02:45 |
| Geocosm | I clicked the sound preferences button on the speaker in my panel | 02:45 |
| holstein | you should be able to hit F5 and see all the settings, boost or whatever | 02:45 |
| Geocosm | oh, god. what is this | 02:45 |
| holstein | Geocosm: ? | 02:45 |
| Geocosm | it's all weird looking. my terminal. | 02:46 |
| Geocosm | AlsaMixer v1.0.24.2 | 02:47 |
| holstein | should be alsamixer | 02:47 |
| Geocosm | It's got like bars in it and stuff lol | 02:48 |
| holstein | if you hit F5 you should see the boost settings and all that | 02:48 |
| holstein | Geocosm: right, thats the mixer | 02:48 |
| holstein | i would try setting the settings there, and see | 02:48 |
| Geocosm | This is like weird. I don't know what to do lol. | 02:48 |
| holstein | Geocosm: you navigate to the boost settings after pressing F5 | 02:49 |
| holstein | turn them to the setting you chose | 02:49 |
| holstein | start an app, see if the settings change unwantedly again | 02:50 |
| Geocosm | aha. I have to use the keyboard. | 02:51 |
| holstein | ? | 02:51 |
| Geocosm | On this thing in my terminal. these bars. | 02:51 |
| holstein | Geocosm: you can hit escape and close it | 02:51 |
| holstein | and look for a bug report... if you dont see one you can file it | 02:52 |
| Geocosm | I closed G+ and it stopped messing up my mic. | 02:52 |
| Geocosm | But there's no setting like that on G+ | 02:52 |
| holstein | if it were my machine, i would try a few live CD's | 02:52 |
| holstein | the LTS... 10.04, and maybe knoppix | 02:52 |
| Geocosm | is there no way to deny my web browser mic permissions? | 02:53 |
| holstein | i would make a note of if it is happening or not, and make a note of the kernel version and ALSA versions | 02:53 |
| Geocosm | My sound has always been messed up. | 02:53 |
| holstein | Geocosm: you should probably be filing bugs with alsa then | 02:54 |
| Geocosm | Like, only one application can use it at a time. And when I close that application, all the other sounds that should have happened before happen. | 02:54 |
| holstein | Geocosm: open a terminal... and run a few commands and paste them for me here | 02:54 |
| holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:54 |
| Geocosm | Like, when I close my music player, Skype will make all these sigh and blip noises. lol. | 02:54 |
| holstein | run... | 02:54 |
| holstein | lspci | 02:54 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 02:54 |
| holstein | arecord -l | 02:54 |
| obarthelemy | hi. I'm running natty on an arm-based hercules cafe. works globally fine, except at boot I get a blinking curosr at the top left corner, and hav to do ctrl-alt-F1 to get a tty. It would be great if I could also know where to change my keyboard map at bott time instead of manually each time :-p | 02:54 |
| obarthelemy | I've tried to hack together a simple inittab, no change, but maybe i made it wrong | 02:55 |
| Geocosm | http://paste.ubuntu.com/707124/ | 02:56 |
| holstein | obarthelemy: thats quite over my head, but feel free and pastebin what you got here, and maybe someone will be able to give you some feedback | 02:56 |
| obarthelemy | I hink what I did amounts to nothing, we can start from scratch: how do I get natty to launch a tty at boot, and what will be that tty's onfig files ? (runlevel 3 preferred) | 02:57 |
| holstein | the GUI is running on one is it not? | 02:58 |
| holstein | anyways, again.. over my head | 02:58 |
| holstein | Geocosm: i found an interesting post | 02:59 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1055105.html | 02:59 |
| obarthelemy | no, no gui, this is for a server... thanks anyway | 02:59 |
| holstein | suggests adding Add -> options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig probe_mask=1 <-at the end of the line in file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 02:59 |
| holstein | obarthelemy: right | 02:59 |
| holstein | im just not sure why you arent getting to a tty anyways | 02:59 |
| holstein | my server installs just boot up to a login prompt, no hacking needed... | 03:00 |
| holstein | Geocosm: as long as you understand how to add that to that file, and remove it if it doesnt work/help, i would try it | 03:00 |
| Geocosm | Got it. Thank you. | 03:01 |
| holstein | theres also http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:3A3E:8086-AUDIO | 03:02 |
| holstein | Geocosm: ^^ those units should have the same audio hardware you have | 03:03 |
| Geocosm | "Make sure you don't have 2 applications sharing sound. It seems like a pulseaudio problem." | 03:04 |
| Geocosm | lol I have like 6 applications using sound right now. | 03:04 |
| holstein | Geocosm: thats not the issue | 03:05 |
| holstein | you dont share the exact same problem, you have sound, you just have a glitch | 03:06 |
| holstein | that could be a glitch no one has noticed | 03:06 |
| * Geocosm pulls his hair out. | 03:07 | |
| Geocosm | That might have mostly fixed the problem, actually. | 03:09 |
| holstein | Geocosm: ? | 03:09 |
| Geocosm | I'm still not able to get sound on a youtube video, but like Skype is making noises while I'm using Rhythmbox. | 03:10 |
| holstein | Geocosm: sound with youtube? | 03:10 |
| holstein | i didnt know about that | 03:10 |
| holstein | that could be anything... i would try different browsers too just to be sure | 03:10 |
| holstein | flash is just awful | 03:10 |
| Geocosm | yeah I tried chromium, chrome, and FF. | 03:11 |
| Geocosm | It is. | 03:11 |
| Geocosm | Oh. I know. I'll try to find an HTML5 video. | 03:11 |
| holstein | anyways, i would also be interested in knowing how it workds with 10.04 and 11.10 | 03:11 |
| holstein | i was thinking it was the mic boost issue, and that was it | 03:11 |
| holstein | i would test with live CD's first so as not to break something, but updating alsa is not a bad idea | 03:12 |
| holstein | Geocosm: you'll just need to fiddle around with it | 03:12 |
| holstein | if its a desktop machine, i would go spent $4 at a charity shop and get *any* compatible card, and disable that one in the bios | 03:12 |
| holstein | can you get that one working? sure... but who knows how much of a pain it'll be | 03:13 |
| holstein | you'll need to pick a bug reporting path and be diligent about it | 03:13 |
| holstein | anyhow, im out.. GN folks and good luck | 03:13 |
| Geocosm | Night. Thanks. | 03:14 |

| malev | hello!! | 14:20 |
| malev | so, what's up throw this lands? any new cool project or something? or are you having beers for the new release? | 14:21 |
| holstein | mey malev ... maybe you want to try one of the more social avenues like #ubuntu-beginners-team or #ubuntu-release-party | 14:25 |
| malev | holstein: maybe, but I also asked about the channel it self. I've participate on this channel some time ago, and I saw there where to be big changes and ... that was what I was asking | 14:28 |
| holstein | malev: welcome back :) | 15:58 |
| tuxforprez | hello can anyone help me with sed ? | 16:03 |
| tuxforprez | Hi there I am trying to | 16:03 |
| tuxforprez | echo "Your weather code is $CODE It is now being move to the correct place " | 16:03 |
| tuxforprez | but I want to replace the 1st line in weather.conf to $CODE | 16:03 |
| tuxforprez | echo $CODE >> /opt/Weather/weather.config | 16:03 |
| coalwater | hm i don't know much about bash but i can try | 16:05 |
| coalwater | u want to replace only 1 line? or does the file only contain that line | 16:06 |
| coalwater | cause >> means append | 16:06 |
| coalwater | so it will create a new line | 16:06 |
| coalwater | tuxforprez: | 16:06 |
| tuxforprez | thaks | 16:07 |
| tuxforprez | thanks | 16:07 |
| tuxforprez | I am just learning | 16:07 |
| coalwater | so ? how many lines are in the config file? | 16:07 |
| tuxforprez | 2 | 16:08 |
| tuxforprez | 1st one is yahoo weather code | 16:08 |
| coalwater | 2nd should be kept ? | 16:08 |
| tuxforprez | 2 is Celsius or fer | 16:08 |
| tuxforprez | c or f | 16:08 |
| coalwater | is it possile to just create the file? or would that need more coding? | 16:09 |
| coalwater | i mean is there a variable in the code that already knows the setting? | 16:09 |
| tuxforprez | more coding | 16:09 |
| tuxforprez | a guy @ # bash said to use sed | 16:10 |
| tuxforprez | this is what he gave me | 16:10 |
| tuxforprez | { echo "$CODE"; sed 1d /opt/Weather/weather.config; } > tempfile && mv tempfile /opt/Weather/weather.config | 16:10 |
| tuxforprez | I guess that one 1d is the 1st line | 16:10 |
| coalwater | idk if sed can read a certain line | 16:11 |
| tuxforprez | neither do I :>) | 16:11 |
| tuxforprez | I will try brb | 16:11 |
| coalwater | ok i think i got what it meant | 16:12 |
| coalwater | it's like an offset | 16:12 |
| coalwater | skip first line | 16:12 |
| coalwater | so yea that code should run successfully | 16:13 |
| coalwater | hmm, now it doesn't seem to be an offset, its more like an ignore line | 16:14 |
| coalwater | d = Delete pattern space. Start next cycle. | 16:15 |
| coalwater | w//e that means | 16:15 |
| coalwater | :D | 16:15 |
| tuxforprez | thanks | 16:16 |
| tuxforprez | almost there | 16:17 |
| Riviera | Is the question solved? | 16:17 |
| tuxforprez | \0/ | 16:19 |
| Riviera | sed has two buffers, the pattern space and the hold space. normally it operates on the pattern space, where the input is read in line-wise. | 16:19 |
| Riviera | each reading-in of a new line is "a new cycle." | 16:19 |
| Riviera | That behaviour of the d command allows code like that: | 16:19 |
| tuxforprez | cool Riviera thaks | 16:19 |
| tuxforprez | yeah it worked | 16:19 |
| Riviera | sed '/some pattern/d; s/^/hehe/' | 16:19 |
| Riviera | the s command which prepends each line with the string "hehe" would be skipped for each line containing "some pattern" | 16:20 |
| Riviera | which would then not appear in the output | 16:20 |
| Riviera | $ printf %s\\n {a..c} | sed '/b/d; s/^/not deleted: /' | 16:20 |
| Riviera | not deleted: a | 16:20 |
| Riviera | not deleted: c | 16:20 |
| tuxforprez | Real cool stuff right here | 16:20 |
| Riviera | I actually use that a lot, for instead of doing | 16:22 |
| Riviera | grep 'some pattern' | sed 's/some/thing/' | 16:22 |
| tuxforprez | anything from a to c is that why the dots are there or is it just a and c that are not deleted | 16:22 |
| Riviera | doing | 16:22 |
| Riviera | sed '/some pattern/!d; s/some/thing/' | 16:22 |
| Riviera | If you are into these insane things, ##sed is a very friendly and very helpful (though sometimes quiet) channel. | 16:22 |
| tuxforprez | lol | 16:22 |
| tuxforprez | I am joining now thanks | 16:23 |
| tuxforprez | join ##sed | 16:23 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: that {a..c} thing is a feature of shells like bash, ksh and zsh: | 16:23 |
| tuxforprez | v. cool | 16:23 |
| Riviera | try, for example: echo {a..z}; echo {01..10} | 16:24 |
| tuxforprez | this is going to make life so much more fun and easy | 16:24 |
| tuxforprez | SO cool | 16:25 |
| Riviera | echo {dog,cat,bird}{house,pool} | 16:26 |
| Riviera | ;) | 16:26 |
| tuxforprez | lol | 16:26 |
| tuxforprez | So coll | 16:26 |
| tuxforprez | cool | 16:26 |
| tuxforprez | this is REGexp ? | 16:27 |
| tuxforprez | sorry that I am so new | 16:28 |
| tuxforprez | to all of this | 16:28 |
| Riviera | no, it's something completely different, bash calls it 'brace expansion" | 16:28 |
| tuxforprez | REGexp moves mords on ? like if I want to move up a step | 16:29 |
| tuxforprez | from 1 to say 300 | 16:29 |
| tuxforprez | echo {1..300} {300..1} | 16:30 |
| tuxforprez | yes | 16:30 |
| tuxforprez | thank you so much | 16:31 |
| tuxforprez | :>) | 16:31 |
| coalwater | i dont know much of sed, i usually like grep more, but i think i'll try to see what sed has to offer and maybe i'll find it useful some day :D | 16:33 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: regular expressions match things | 16:34 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: (or, well, in theory they define regular languages, but ignore that) | 16:34 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: that "changing" what you meant, as in sed's s command, only partly consists of regular expressions: | 16:35 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: s/pattern/replacement/flags | 16:35 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: where "pattern" is a regular expression, and "replacement" is not, both have different syntaxes | 16:36 |
| Riviera | tuxforprez: the "s" stands for "substitute" | 16:36 |
| Riviera | anyway, need to hurry now, back later :) | 16:36 |
| tuxforprez | thanks again :>) | 16:36 |
| chrisinleedsuk | Hi everyone | 17:11 |
| chrisinleedsuk | How do I make my yamaha opl3-sa3 soundcard work? | 17:12 |
| chrisinleedsuk | There appears to be no drivers currently installed but I know NOTHING about linux. | 17:12 |
| coalwater | hm | 17:12 |
| coalwater | !sound | 17:12 |
| ubot2 | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 17:12 |
| coalwater | there, check that | 17:13 |
| chrisinleedsuk | Thank-you | 17:13 |
| tonywade | hi | 18:16 |
| tonywade | does anyone know if you install a version of ubuntu on a usb does it affect your other files on the usb? | 18:17 |
| bioterror | you need partitions | 18:18 |
| tonywade | how do u do that? | 18:19 |
| tonywade | how do u do partitions? | 18:24 |
| holstein | tonywade: i typically just use the normal ubuntu installer, and choose the USB as the destination | 18:25 |
| holstein | you can use the alternate installer too to ensure GRUB will go where you want it to go | 18:25 |
| tonywade | but how about using startup disk creator | 18:26 |
| holstein | tonywade: use whatever you want to make the installer | 18:27 |
| bioterror | but if you want to keep files on usb | 18:27 |
| bioterror | you need two partitions | 18:27 |
| bioterror | one for files, and one for ubuntu | 18:27 |
| holstein | i usually use a USB stick to install to another USB stick, or SD card | 18:27 |
| holstein | yeah, making a persistent stick is different | 18:27 |
| holstein | i personally dont see the benifit | 18:27 |
| holstein | i just make an install on the USB | 18:27 |
| tonywade | ok can i use the files on the usb if i have the ubuntu running? | 18:29 |
