[02:59] <McDickChunk> hello
[12:03] <Phule> Hi. I dont know if I'm in right channel. I need help with correcting gateway/firewall or webserver settings. Depends on whats wrong in my case.
[13:03] <holstein> Phule: this is one of the support channels... let us know whats going on
[13:05] <Phule> holstein: trying to check my routing tables with user in #ubuntu-server. Will let you know if the problem remains
[22:26] <ciara8bubbles> Is anyone familiar with a setting that causes Ubuntu to automatically mute the sound?  Mine started doing this recently and I have been unable to discover why.  The sounds used to work fine and as far as I know I didn't change anything that would affect my sound settings.  It's terrible because now I have NO sound on my system even after I have unmuted it.  I've tried the alsa mixer everything there is normal ...
[22:30] <meditatingfrog> ciara8bubbles: hmmm, not sure, have you checked the forums?
[22:30] <holstein> ciara8bubbles: i would install panucontrol.. i would look in the terminal after running aplay -l
[22:30] <holstein> also, let us know what operating system you are using
[22:32] <ciara8bubbles> meditatingfrog: yeah I have browsed the forums a bit - seems i'm not the only one but I didn't see any resolved threads
[22:32] <ciara8bubbles> holstein: I'll give that a try
[22:34] <ciara8bubbles> holstein: pavucontrol?
[22:34] <holstein> ciara8bubbles: yup. that was a typo above
[22:36] <meditatingfrog> ciara8bubbles: you could also try alsamixer in a terminal, to see what is muted there
[22:37] <holstein> there was a bug in XFCE where if you muted with the hardware switch it was challening to get it unmuted
[22:37] <ciara8bubbles> holstein: ah fantastic stuff :) thanks!  The problem was with a mute in pavucontrol - so it's great to have my sound back!  Thank you.  I'll just have to try figure out why it's muting it in the first place now.
[22:37] <ciara8bubbles> ah i see
[22:42] <ciara8bubbles> is that why my little sound shortcut in the top menu bar also disappeared ... Anyways it's not too much of a problem :) now that I can undo it I'm happy.  I'll have to read some more about it to solve it properly but at least you helped me to discover the panel for Pulseaudio ... Howcome Pulseaudio and Alsa mixer are separate?  Just different sound management systems or what?  ... Rhetorical questions - I'll read up abou
[22:47] <meditatingfrog> good luck :)
