[02:11] <igmu> I am having audio issues. When I cold boot, output sound in sound settings is muted. When I unmuted & adjust sound to 100%, the sound works fine. If my system goes into suspend, I loose sound even when sound settings indicates that it is mot muted. I do not have the sound icon on my gnome control panel. I currently have the sound settings & system monitor windows open to possibly see what...
[02:11] <igmu> ...audio driver I am using. I see pulseaudio. Can anyone helpme get my audio default setting to unmute upon logon? How would I find the reason I loose audio after suspend?
[02:13] <holstein> igmu: i would check for, and apply updates
[02:13] <holstein> i would try a different kernel and/or alsa version
[02:13] <holstein> i would try these from a live CD if i didnt feel comfortable
[02:14] <igmu> I am copying this from system monitor if this helps.. Release 12.04 (precise) 32-bit, Kernel Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae, GNOME 3.4.1
[02:16] <igmu> I started from 10.04 LTS & I had no problems. I started having this issue once I upgrade to 11.04, I think. I think it's when Unity? was installed.
[02:28] <igmu> running Synaptic now...
[02:30] <igmu> It may take awhile because my bandwidth is throttled down. Someone is using a game system and is playing a online game.
[02:31] <igmu> I have marked 46 pages to upgrade...
[02:35] <holstein> nah, its not unity
[02:35] <holstein> if you think it is, install XFCE and test
[02:35] <holstein> i would try applying upgrades, then i would try differnt kernels or alsa versions.. or just install and use 10.04
[02:35] <holstein> i still have several 10.04 boxes running
[02:43] <igmu> I ugraded all packages. The packages that upgraded were mostly libreoffice, cups, python, gnome-session.
[02:46] <igmu> I also noticed that when I unmuted and set the volume of output sound, the test did not produce sound, but the alert sounds worked until I suspend the system.
[02:51] <holstein> igmu: that can make alsa crash
[02:51] <holstein> you can look into trying a differnt kernel version, maybe an earlier one... or a newer or older verion of ALSA
[02:54] <igmu> I do not know if I'm using GRUB, but I am not given kernel version options from the bootloader. In synaptic, I see linux-headers 3.2.0-24.39, 3.2.0-25.40, 3.2.0-26.41, & 3.2.0.26.28 installed currently.
[02:56] <igmu> I have grub version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 installed.
[02:56] <holstein> igmu: grum wont effect the sound
[02:56] <holstein> grub*
[02:56] <holstein> you can hit shift when booting, and go to previous versions
[02:56] <holstein> OR, review this
[02:56] <holstein> !grub | igmu
[02:56] <ubot2> igmu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)
[02:57] <holstein> and set grub to show manually all the kernels
[02:57] <holstein> OR, load up a live CD with a different kernel and/or alsa version
[02:57] <igmu> I am asking how to change kernel versions.
[02:57] <holstein> igmu: i would hold shift at boot, and select older kernels
[02:57] <igmu> ok, thank you.
[02:58] <igmu> I will reboot now to try to change kernel versions... I am crossing my mouse buttons :)
[02:59] <igmu> ty
[03:08] <Igmu> Holding shift works to select kernel versions. I am now using my phone to irc. Most current kernel version displayed in grub is 3.2.0-26-generic-pae. Earliest kernel version is 2.6.32-41-generic. I have 9 kernel versions to choose the are not recovery mode.
[03:10] <Igmu> Should i start with the earliest kernel & test the sound issue then work my way to the current version until the sound problem arises?
[03:13] <holstein> Igmu: thats an option... you can try some older kernels and see.. or alsa versions
[03:28] <Igmu> Trying to run earliest kernel. I'm getting several fails & errors.
[03:29] <holstein> you might.. try the last one that worked
[03:29] <holstein> try 10.04 live..
[03:29] <holstein> try reloading alsa after the crash
[03:30] <Igmu> I'm switching between tty1 & lightDM/GNOMEDM
[03:32] <Igmu> I have no graphics page to login using GUI. Rebooting to next kernel.
[03:33] <Igmu> How would i switch alsa versions? Is that something i can do in synaptic?
[03:33] <holstein> thats one way to do it... or just try live CD's with different versions
[03:34] <holstein> at some point, you need to determine if the hardware is funcitoning properly.. you can do that with a 10.04 live CD
[03:34] <holstein> then, you can dertermine if its the alsa version, or try and see what is making the sound crash
[03:35] <holstein> i would try and get the sound to crash, and just reload alsa
[03:35] <holstein> i would spend about 3 minutes on each of these troubleshooting steps
[03:38] <Igmu> Once i find a workable kernel version, should i start with lssound (i think that is the command) to establish hardware to accurately troubleshoot between hardware & software?
[03:39] <holstein> whatever it takes... i would literally just load the other kernel back up.. get it to crash... and reload alsa
[03:39] <holstein> i would maybe look at some logs.. i would search google for some bugs relating to that hardware
[03:40] <holstein> i would try running in a terminal "aplay -l" for that information before and after the crash
[03:57] <Igmu> I am logging this session for my notes... Kernel version 3.2.0-24-generic is the earliest version to fully load GUI without major errors. Audio is still muted by default, unmuting & volume adjusting produces alert sounds but the test sound still does not produce sound.
[03:58] <holstein> Igmu: i would run in a terminal "aplay -l"
[04:00] <Igmu> Aplay command is not installed. Checking aptitude for aplay
[04:00] <holstein> Igmu: what are you running?
[04:01] <holstein> aplay should be there... aplay and arecord
[04:02] <Igmu> Ubuntu 12.04? Is answering what I'm running.
[04:02] <Igmu> ?
[04:02] <holstein> should have been installed by default
[04:02] <Igmu> Dammit. Forgot sodu...
[04:02] <holstein> how did you install it?
[04:03] <Igmu> I started this system from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS cd.
[04:04] <holstein> maybe the upgrade has failed?
[04:04] <holstein> i would try a live CD... a 12.04 live CD.. i would let it sleep... i would see if the sound crashes
[04:06] <Igmu> The only unique package that is getting my finger print reader to work for GUI & terminal password entry.
[04:06] <holstein> sure.. but aplay should be there, and you are having issues...
[04:07] <Igmu> Ok. I have to download a 12.04 iso to burn.
[04:07] <holstein> gotta sleep... goodluck!
[04:07] <holstein> check the sum, and try it live
[04:07] <holstein> !md5
[04:07] <ubot2> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[04:07] <holstein> GN
[04:08] <Igmu> Tyvm, sir.
[05:19] <Igmu> Update to my sound issue...
[05:21] <Igmu> I updated using synaptic. I went through different kernels. I finally entered the latest kernel, updated using aptitude in terminal, rebooted...
[05:23] <Igmu> Now I have an audio icon in my gnome control panel. It still defaulted muted & audio icon in gnome control panel did not respond to left or right clicks of the mouse.
[13:03] <Tzem> Hello to all.How to get the accomplichment Ubuntu Beginners Team Member .I've done all he need.
[14:14] <pandamensch> hey guys. question for you. I have this rss feed window that I want to stick to the tool bar that I set up on top of the screen, so that when I fullscreen windows, the window doesn't go over the rss feed. Anyone has a clue how I could do this?
[14:14] <pandamensch> my rss feed is tickr.
[17:33] <Bentheplantguy> i just did the 12.04 upgrade.  i'm running Firefox 13.0.  why doesn't Youtube "play all" continuously, and why are all other video sites disabled/videos wont play?
[17:48] <holstein> Bentheplantguy: i would try the official chrome browser, and see about the flash version bundled with it
[17:50] <holstein> you could also try adding the stable firefox ppa
[17:56] <geirha> some old firefox settings may be causing issues, I'd try with a fresh profile. To try a fresh profile, close firefox, then hit Alt+F2 to run   firefox -ProfileManager
[17:56] <geirha> or log in as guest user and try firefox there
[22:07] <naskopalov> hello
[22:16] <Unit193> Howdy.
