[01:55] <hot_wheelz> Hi guys
[05:36] <hot_wheelz> anyone here?
[05:37] <jea> yes, I am
[05:43] <hot_wheelz> jea, do know what's going on regarding ubuntu 12.10 no sound after login issue?
[05:44] <jea> no, sorry, i am not sure
[05:44] <jea> do you know if there is a bug raised for it?
[05:45] <hot_wheelz> plenty of reports no sure if there is an official bug report though
[05:46] <jea> ok
[05:46] <hot_wheelz> are you experiencing it aswell?
[05:46] <jea> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066353
[05:46] <head_victim> I'm seeing lots of random comments about sound issues in 12.10, not seeing many that state after login there is an issue.
[05:46] <jea> could that be related?
[05:47] <jea> i am not running ubuntu on any computers at the moment to test it
[05:47] <hot_wheelz> seen this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/212453
[05:47] <jea> and even if I was, i always mute the sound
[05:47] <jea> so i wouldn't notice it
[05:48] <head_victim> And while it's for 12.04 have you tried the solutions listed - http://askubuntu.com/questions/132577/no-sound-in-ubuntu-12-04
[05:48] <hot_wheelz> yes
[05:48] <hot_wheelz> no good
[05:48] <jea> http://askubuntu.com/questions/204277/sound-not-working-with-ubuntu-12-10-clean-install
[05:48] <jea> i think i might install 12.10 on a netbook this afternoon
[05:49] <head_victim> I've been running it since a few days before release, other than an evolution glitch it's been fine.
[05:49] <jea> i don't use evolution any more
[05:49] <hot_wheelz> I tried this http://www.unixmen.com/2012003-howto-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu/
[05:50] <head_victim> I use it as a basic offline backup of my gmail account and to tap into the calendaring built into Ubuntu
[05:50] <jea> oh, the calendar
[05:50] <head_victim> I do all my emails and editing of calendars via web browsers.
[05:50] <jea> i still want to write a calendar app
[05:50] <hot_wheelz> head_victim, So you have sound then?
[05:50] <jea> maybe i can do that over the holidays
[05:51] <head_victim> hot_wheelz: yep, I know heaps of people on 12.10 and not heard of a sound issue until you mentioned it in channel the other day..
[05:52] <jea> hot_wheelz: did you do an upgrade or clean install?
[05:52] <hot_wheelz> jea, clean install
[05:53] <jea> mm, ok. that removes that suggestion then
[05:57] <head_victim> Anyone know how to manipulate the screen desktop image to spread across 2 screens rather than having 2 of the same image side by side?
[05:58] <hot_wheelz> head_victim,  Did you see this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/212453
[05:58] <head_victim> hot_wheelz: yeah, but it's far too much information for me to comprehend.
[05:59] <head_victim> I wouldn't even be sure it's an alsa issue, could be pulse or hardware related
[05:59] <jea> head_victim: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/ubuntu-multi-monitor-tweaks-full-screen.html
[05:59] <jea> or maybe this also http://askubuntu.com/questions/89417/how-to-span-single-wallpaper-over-dual-monitors
[06:00] <hot_wheelz> head_victim, this is related yeah https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1014866
[06:00] <head_victim> Ah I believe I played with nitrogen previously
[06:01] <head_victim> hot_wheelz: so have you tried a different kernel?
[06:01] <jea> nitrogen or syncwall seem to be the two main options
[06:01] <hot_wheelz> head_victim, said 3.2 right?
[06:02] <head_victim> hot_wheelz: not really sure, I'd pick a couple and see what worked
[06:02] <head_victim> jea: cool, I can't remember why I ditched nitrogen (it's still installed), perhaps it was an upgrade thing that went awry and I forgot about it
[06:03] <hot_wheelz> that bug is 3.2 right 12.10 ships 3.5
[06:03] <jea> ubuntu ships a modified kernel
[06:03] <jea> so version numbers are sometimes different
[06:05] <hot_wheelz> jea, how can i tag my info on to a bug?
[06:05] <jea> you should be able to log in to launchpad and then comment on an issue
[06:06] <jea> you could potentially try one of the latest daily kernels
[06:07] <jea> i would back stuff up first though, because they are potentially unstable
[06:07] <jea> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2012-10-22-quantal/
[06:07] <jea> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.3-quantal/
[06:07] <jea> maybe 3.6 would be a bit better, seeing as it is not a rc or beta
[06:15] <jea> i have no sound problems in my vm, hot_wheelz 
[09:41] <hot_wheelz> jea,  Are you still here?
[09:51] <hot_wheelz> head_victim, How about you?
[10:12] <hot_wheelz> it works now
[10:12] <hot_wheelz> sound
[10:49] <head_victim> Glad to know, interesting to see what the issue was if they come back.
[12:11]  * joey168 is away: going out to catch some fresh air, be back soon
[13:49] <jea> yes, will be interesting to find out the solution
[13:54] <sagaci> At changi
