[01:25] why is lubuntu the only ubuntu distro that doesn't have separate volume controlls for headphones and inbuilt speakers? [02:25] Noskcaj: AFAIK, its the one that isnt using pulse audio [02:26] Noskcaj: you are welcome to install it.. or maybe one of the other distros might be a better out-of-the-box fit for your needs [02:28] Noskcaj: i added pulse audio to lubuntu, tested something, and removed it.. not too challenging at all [02:29] holstein, thanks for the info. i am considering swapping back to xubuntu but i have 30gb of movies to watch that i don't want to delete and i just put in heaps of themes an hour ago [02:31] ? [02:31] Noskcaj: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. just as lubuntu is [02:32] if you have lubuntu, just install XFCE or the xubuntu-desktop metapackage [02:33] !purexfce [02:33] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [02:33] !purelxde [02:33] If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » [02:49] holstein, thanks for the links, when i get back from my holiday i think i will change === len is now known as Guest69707 [04:36] whats the best way to install graphics drivers?

[14:55] Has anyone had the error, "Failed to execute child process "lubuntu-logout" (No such file or directory)" while attempting to log out? [15:37] hi... [15:46] hello, does anyone know how to change audio hardware settings in Lubuntu 12.04? Specifically, I want to set my bluetooth headphones as output device. You can see my issue here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2042456 there haven't been any replies to it in months [15:46] however, I cna't even find where to access audio settings in the first place... [16:19] bennypr0fane: i might consider using pulse audio [16:19] bennypr0fane: i might fire up xubuntu live or main ubuntu and test and see if using pulse simplifies your situtaion [16:19] holstein is there gui for it? [16:20] bennypr0fane: pavucontrol is nice [16:20] otherwise, you should just start a bluetooth manager, and make sure the bluetooth is connected [16:21] it is, i made sure [16:21] the connection is up, but no sound in the headphones [16:21] also, there are audio settings in alsa mixer [16:21] alsamixer in the terminal [16:22] whenever i am doing more than just a simple setup, i use pulse [16:22] or, im using JACK and i dont care about system sounds at all [16:23] In alsmixer I can't find how to set the output device [16:23] installed pulse audio. of course (sorry, Lubuntu) there isn't a starter for it in the menu [16:24] bennypr0fane: a starter? [16:24] bennypr0fane: lubuntu doesnt ship with pulse, so there wont be a "starter" [16:24] bennypr0fane: if you have pulse installed, and configured properly, install pavucontrol [16:24] done [16:25] I mean a menu entry to click on in order to access pulse aduio [16:25] there isn't one for pavucontrol either [16:25] bennypr0fane: ? [16:25] bennypr0fane: there wont be any menu item for pulse [16:25] bennypr0fane: there never is [16:26] bennypr0fane: you can start pavucontrol from the terminal and test [16:26] oh, wait, there it is. just not titled pavucontrol [16:26] should be pulse audio volume control in the menu somewhere [16:26] it's called pulse audio volume control [16:26] yes [16:26] sure.. and you can start it either way you like [16:27] but i would test its functionality, then bother with if you need it around or not, and how to launch it [16:27] ok [16:28] well the headset is not listed as an output device in pavucontrol [16:29] bennypr0fane: then i argue its connectivitiy [16:29] conectivity of what? [16:29] bennypr0fane: make certain some bluetooth manager is using/seeing it [16:29] bennypr0fane: the headphones that are not presenting them selves in pulse [16:29] yes, blueman sees the connection up [16:30] bennypr0fane: i would test with something like skype [16:30] bennypr0fane: i would try with a live cd of something running pluse [16:30] pulse* [16:31] test what eaxaclty? [16:32] i don't care whether the mic works, my main concern is for the sound to got to the headset, not audio card [16:32] which it doesn't right now [16:32] bennypr0fane: test the device with pulse audio in a system that has shipped pulse and is configured properly [16:32] maybe it's about the bt services [16:32] bennypr0fane: otherwise, you are troubleshooting multiple things at once right now [16:32] does ubuntu ship with puplse? [16:32] bennypr0fane: AFAIK, lubuntu ships without it [16:33] otherwise, xubuntu ships with it, and ubuntu.. as i suggested trying live CD's for above [16:33] because it works there, on another conmputer though, laptop /w bt built in [16:34] debian on this machine doesn't even see my bt adpater [16:34] so does it say anything useful if the headset works in Ubuntu on another pc? or should I test with ubuntu on this one? [16:36] bennypr0fane: it says that it works with pulse in ubuntu [16:37] bennypr0fane: if it does... id sayd that means it *can* work with lubuntu then, since lubuntu *is* ubuntu [16:37] then no need to test with an ubuntu cd, yes? [16:37] just need to figure out how to make pulse see the device [16:38] right? [16:39] right now, I got 2 services connected: headset and audio sink. is one of them a2dp? because I think that's the service I need to connect [16:40] when you say bt built in.. if you have a bt dongle, i might troubleshoot is seperately [16:41] good idea, how can I go about that? [16:41] there is nothing about my adapter in blueman [16:41] i would try a known good bt device [16:42] i would try removing variables [16:42] i would try a live CD on the integrated bt hardware.. see that you get that headset and all that working [16:42] I'm actually surprised it works, because I can't find anything in system. [16:42] move to the other rig, and replicate the procedure... [16:43] I don't have any other bt device that works with this pc. I do have an older bt dongle with 2.0, and it displays the very same issues [16:44] you mean a live cd of Lubuntu, in that case? [16:45] I actually have Lubuntu installed as well on the laptop (the one with built-in bt chip) [16:45] bennypr0fane: i was suggeting the headset.. i suggest a live CD since it removes the user config [16:45] well I don'T have another bt headset either... [16:45] you load a xubuntu live CD on the hardware that was working with the headset.. test.. repeat that *exact* same procedure on the other machine [16:45] the only change is the BT adapter [16:45] why xubuntu? [16:46] bennypr0fane: some live CD with pulse [16:46] sorry, not following :-( [16:46] bennypr0fane: use what you want [16:46] Daviey: dont do anything im suggesting [16:46] Daviey: sorry [16:46] bennypr0fane: ^^ [16:46] ok, which pc, which bt chip, which external hw? [16:46] bennypr0fane: bot [16:46] boht* [16:46] bennypr0fane: both* [16:46] bennypr0fane: change only the bt adapter [16:47] bennypr0fane: test on the machine that you said it worked with.. test with a live CD that you can boot on the other machine that is *not* working [16:47] well, like i said, the other adapter has the same problem [16:47] if you do everything the same, then the adapter is likey the issue [16:47] in which case, you can stop looking in audio settings as its not an audio issue [16:48] ah, you mean put the adapter into the other machine [16:48] bennypr0fane: do whatever you feel will isolate that hardware [16:48] the adapter [16:48] bennypr0fane: i would run a live CD on the machine that has the itegreated BT hardware.. i would boot that.. test the headset.. see that it works [16:48] THEN, i would repeat that *exaxt* same thing on the other box [16:48] yes it does [16:49] oh, but not tested on live CD, just installed system [16:49] because, due to the above test, the headset shoud work [16:49] bennypr0fane: i like the live CD since that is less changes [16:49] I still don't get why the live cd is nevess [16:49] *scratch that [16:49] bennypr0fane: its not.. its just isolating points of failure [16:50] "fewer changes"... :-) [16:50] bennypr0fane: what if the machine with the integrated BT hardware is configured properly? [16:50] I see [16:50] bennypr0fane: what if the pulse on the other one is not configureed? [16:50] is it different bluetooth GUIs? [16:50] yes [16:50] that one is gnome, this one is lxde [16:50] i would remove *all* of these questions.. test witn one OS... the same live CD OS [16:51] if its gnome from 10.04, that would be relevant.. that is a different kernel [16:51] no, Gnome from 12.04. when you say hardware, please say exactly which one you mean, bcs hardware can mean pretty much any device [16:52] that is likely a point of failure.. an older kernel that supports the BT usb dongle.. and the newer lubuntu 12.x kernel not supporing [16:52] bennypr0fane: the BT dongle.. [16:52] bennypr0fane: what isnt working? is it the headset? or the dongle? [16:52] bennypr0fane: is the dongle capable or working with linux? [16:52] bennypr0fane: that is what you havent dont [16:52] done* [16:53] and right now, you are testing 3 other variables and that at eh same time (at least) [16:54] is its LXDE? is the the bluetooth software in lubuntu? is it pulse audio? is it gnome? is the the kernel version? [16:54] minimize the variables and isolate the bt hardware [16:55] ok, I need to isolate the dongle. that means I need to test it a) on a different pc with b) a different audio and c) a different headset, right? but i don't have c) ! I just know that this headset does work on the other pc with Ubuntu, and with Windows [16:56] i wouldnt use windows for anything other than "is the headset broken" [16:56] the drivers are different and it doesnt help [16:58] what i would do: boot the machine with the integrated BT with the headset and a live CD... *if* that headset works fine on that hardare with that live cd, then... [16:58] If I test this headset with the same OS, the same audio (Pulse), but a different bt hardware (built-in chip), than it's proof that the donlge is the culprit, right? [16:58] take that same live CD to the hardware you have now, and test [16:58] if the headset is not working then the big relevant change is the BT dongle [16:59] i think this would be good evidence that its the dongle... [16:59] ok [16:59] BUT [16:59] lemme think... [17:01] what if I use a live USB of Lubuntu, install Pulse Audio and then try the same thing? wouldn't that be even better (bcs it's closer to my setup here) than using a live CD of another distro that ships with pulse? [17:02] ah, you mean if the distro ships with pulse, that would exclude errors in LXDE/Lubuntu? [17:03] bennypr0fane: whatever you feel will isolate the dongle [17:03] bennypr0fane: trying lubuntu live on the hardare with integrated BT would be a good relevant test as well [17:05] ok, I may be getting the picture... stupid dongle. the manufacturer doesn't even offer linux drivers for download. That's why I wonder how Lubuntu made it work/find the driver. You got any explanation for that? [17:06] bennypr0fane: the ubuntu kernels tries to support what it can [17:08] yes but how, if there isn' a driver? [17:09] do you happen to know if +buntu live images have an integrated bootloader? [17:09] bennypr0fane: sure, there is something that boots the live instance [17:09] good [17:09] bennypr0fane: there are drivers in the kernel for what is supportable [17:10] doesnt mean they are good or work with all hardware [17:10] cause i recently came across a distro that gives non-bootable images [17:10] like Debian? :P [17:10] no [17:10] nah, i kid, there's a lot of non-live-image distros out there [17:10] elive [17:11] I didn't know that [17:11] Debian must be using a different kernel then, bcs it can't see this bt dongle [17:14] ok gotta go, thank you holstein [17:14] bennypr0fane: good luck.. === Guest33719 is now known as fragalot [18:33] are there 13.04 images for Lubuntu, for testing purposes, yet?
