| Lachezar | Hey all... I'm having a weird issue with Volume management: | 13:07 |
| Lachezar | When I use my laptop's Volume UP and Volume Down keys I see the pop-up with the volume change, but the volume does NOT change. | 13:07 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: go to settings manager and in your sound settings change which channel is used for the volume changes | 13:16 |
| TheSheep | Lachezar: oh, sorry, it's not available in the settings manager, you need to click on the speaker icon on your panel | 13:17 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: Come again? How do I see which is controlled? | 13:22 |
| TheSheep | if you go to mixer properties, you will see a window with 3 dropdowns: sound card, mixer track and left-click command | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | you want to change the second one -- experiment with different tracks until you find the right one | 13:24 |
| Lachezar | I have a window with 5 tabs: Playback, Recording, Output Devices, Input Devices, Configuration | 13:24 |
| TheSheep | let me make a screenshot | 13:26 |
| TheSheep | http://imgur.com/8jTIYNX | 13:27 |
| Lachezar | Ahh... I have some Bullsh*t integrated into the bullsh*t indicator plugin. | 13:27 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: Let me try running the volume manager manually. | 13:27 |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: I didn't even have xfce4-mixer installed :-/ | 13:28 |
| TheSheep | it's actually properties of the mixer plugin in the panel :/ | 13:28 |
| Lachezar | I don't have the mixer plugin too :( | 13:32 |
| * Lachezar sighs: xfce4-mixer did not help at all. | 13:35 | |
| Lachezar | TheSheep: I added the panel plugin, but changing the setting there has no effect whatsoever. Thanks anyway. | 13:38 |
| GridCube | Lachezar, its pavucontrol | 13:52 |
| GridCube | no xfce4-mixer | 13:52 |
| GridCube | you need to clic the speaker icon, not right-clic, and go to setting to reach it | 13:52 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: This is opened on left-clicking the audio icon in the indicator plugin... But I see five tabs and nothing there seems to influence what the volume up and down buttons modify. | 14:10 |
| GridCube | Lachezar, go to the keyboard settings and see to what command those keys are binded please | 14:11 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: Nothing. | 14:11 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: I mean: the XF86Volume* key codes are not bound. | 14:12 |
| GridCube | right | 14:12 |
| GridCube | mine neither | 14:12 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: When I press Volume buttons I can see a notification pop-up (consistently moving in the right direction), but I have no idea what it changes. | 14:12 |
| GridCube | mmmm yes | 14:13 |
| GridCube | i know what you mean | 14:13 |
| GridCube | it happened to me once | 14:13 |
| GridCube | what version of xubuntu are you using now? | 14:13 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: I've had this behaviour when CTRL-ALT-F? switching to a console, and returning to F7 I can no longer modify the volume with the Volume keys until I log-out and back. Now it's permanent :( | 14:14 |
| Lachezar | 12.10 | 14:14 |
| Lachezar | Updated | 14:14 |
| GridCube | mmhm yes | 14:15 |
| Lachezar | Yesterday I updated to a newer kernel, had Xubuntu unable to boot up. Found a work-around by turning 'NVidia Optimus' off in the BIOS... | 14:16 |
| GridCube | im still on 12.04 here | 14:16 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: I have the ugly feeling that this problem has arisen due to the fact, that now I have a NVidia VC, that has HDMI stuff, meaning another audio device. | 14:16 |
| GridCube | Lachezar, did the volume key worked before? | 14:17 |
| Lachezar | (I replaced the NVidia Optimus with the 'Discrete VC' option that turns the NVidia VC on). | 14:17 |
| GridCube | Lachezar, did the volume key worked before? | 14:17 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: Yes, they worked two days ago (apart from CTRL-ALT-switching). | 14:17 |
| GridCube | ok, do this, reset your setting to enable the nvidia card and reboot using a previous kernel, you can still choose a previous linux version on the grub menu, if you dont see the grub menu press tab while the computer starts until you see it | 14:18 |
| GridCube | choose a previous linux version and try an older kernel, see if the keys work there, that will take a lot of guessing out of the box | 14:19 |
| Lachezar | Grid: I'll havo to do that at home tonight... | 14:19 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: But I see your point. I'm pretty sure it will work (I haven't purged the previous kernel yet). | 14:20 |
| Lachezar | BTW: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-quantal/+bug/1158562 | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1158562 in linux-lts-quantal (Ubuntu) "system will not start after updating to kernel 3.5.0-27" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:20 |
| GridCube | :) if that works then you will need to re-enable your hdmi card properly, and thats a whole another cup of tea | 14:20 |
| * GridCube thinks, more reasons for keeping out of updates for me | 14:21 | |
| Lachezar | GridCube: I'll probably have to stick to the Integrated VC (Intel iWhatever) that has no DisplayPort out, so no second audio device. | 14:22 |
| GridCube | thats sad | 14:22 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: True, but it beats having not-working system :-/ | 14:23 |
| Lachezar | 10x for the time wasted on me :) | 14:23 |
| GridCube | i would simply revert to an older kernel | 14:23 |
| GridCube | i dont really see the need to a newer one if it brokes things up | 14:23 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: That's actually something I might do... Untill a fix for the regression comes out... | 14:23 |
| GridCube | if you need to find workaround for a lot of things because one thing broke, then you are aproaching the problem incorrectly, but thats my opinion | 14:24 |
| Lachezar | GridCube: I am having constant problems with kernels. With me (Lenovo T***) it's win some, loose some every update. | 14:24 |
| GridCube | if you find one that work properly then dont update it, unless its utterly necesary, but again, and again, its just my opinion | 14:25 |
| * GridCube its not fond of constant updates | 14:25 | |
| Lachezar | GridCube: That's just it: no kernel has worked properly. They just differ on WHERE they break :) | 14:25 |
| GridCube | ha, well :) good luck then | 14:26 |
| Lachezar | I'm hoping someone is on tonight. I am having trouble booting my home computer with a Xubuntu USB Stick... Which is weird... | 14:26 |
| gex | Hi there | 16:19 |
| gex | any know problem with linux pen drive? | 16:19 |
| gex | anytime i install i get grub rescue on reboot | 16:20 |
| GridCube | gex, are you using an uefi machine? | 16:21 |
| gex | i dont know, i've been using the freebsd boot loader | 16:22 |
| GridCube | its a new machine? | 16:22 |
| gex | i have the freebsd loader on top of W7 loader wich tops Xp boot loader | 16:22 |
| gex | no | 16:23 |
| gex | i used to have xubuntu with W7 before | 16:23 |
| gex | but now i cant get it to boot | 16:23 |
| gex | doesnt even show on freebsd boot loader | 16:23 |
| GridCube | in any case, boot using a pendrive and use boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:23 |
| gex | except when the xubuntu install breaks | 16:23 |
| gex | how do i know if im using uefi boot? | 16:24 |
| GridCube | !uefi | 16:24 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 16:24 |
| gex | no | 16:24 |
| gex | for sure its not uefi | 16:24 |
| GridCube | ok then :) use boot repair | 16:24 |
| gex | its a DFI for the Athlon 939 | 16:24 |
| gex | i would like what am i doing wrong | 16:25 |
| gex | is there any direction i can follow? | 16:25 |
| gex | any query i can do on google? | 16:25 |
| GridCube | gex, i dont know sorry | 16:25 |
| GridCube | there are many many reasons why grub could fail | 16:26 |
| gex | the strange thing is that it gets written LINUX on freebsd boot loader when i try to install boot loader to the partition to which i install xubuntu | 16:26 |
| gex | when i do this i gets an error which stop the install | 16:26 |
| gex | i've been using / as mount point | 16:27 |
| GridCube | usually it ends up being that the pointed destination of the grub boot doesnt exist anymore, or changed its name, so if you where pointing at hw0,0 it became hw1,0 or somthing like that | 16:27 |
| gex | is is wrong? | 16:27 |
| gex | grub rescue gives me a strange sequence | 16:27 |
| GridCube | i'm not a grub guru tho, so i dont really know | 16:27 |
| gex | i didnt pay much attention to it | 16:27 |
| gex | but kind like a hardware number | 16:28 |
| gex | maybe its pointing to the pen drive, trying to reference usb anyway? | 16:28 |
| GridCube | yes, maybe you got grub installed on the pendrive | 16:28 |
| gex | seems so | 16:28 |
| GridCube | thats why i say boot-repair | 16:28 |
| gex | hmmm | 16:28 |
| gex | that nice | 16:28 |
| gex | i'll try the boot repair, and i'll come back to tell if it does the trick | 16:29 |
| GridCube | :) | 16:29 |
| GridCube | it should | 16:29 |
| gex | anyway thanks for the tip ;) | 16:29 |
| Lachezar | Hmmm.... I'll have to check my home machine... It might be UEFI-incapacitated... | 17:00 |
| Lachezar | Good night all... I hope I'm back from my home machine. | 17:01 |
| n-iCe | 's back | 18:21 |
| evopilot | Hi all | 19:00 |
| evopilot | I'm looking for a cd menu program, similar to autoplay media studio....thnx :) | 19:01 |
| David-A | evopilot: what is a "cd menu program" ? | 19:03 |
| evopilot | its a program that allows you to build a menu to be added to a cd/dvd | 19:03 |
| evopilot | so when you put it into the drive, it autoruns to a menu where you can make choices | 19:04 |
| evopilot | love 12.10 btw, xubuntu is super fast :) | 19:05 |
| bazhang | it rips the dvd and lets you make a menu? | 19:06 |
| evopilot | No, imagine a blank dvd or cd, you add files to it and then build a menu so you can choose which file you want from an interactive menu | 19:07 |
| evopilot | like a software cd for instance | 19:08 |
| David-A | evopilot: what programs have you tested? DeVeDe seems to be capable of creating a menu for the titles on a dvd/cd | 19:12 |
| evopilot | Yes, these are only video/audio though, I need a data one, like autoplay media studio | 19:13 |
| bazhang | so creating a playable dvd from avi for example? | 19:13 |
| bazhang | evopilot, an autoplay of data? what does that mean | 19:14 |
| evopilot | Nah, devede is great for such things | 19:14 |
| bazhang | data does not autoplay | 19:14 |
| evopilot | surely you have put in a cd/dvd with a menu to choose drivers etc? | 19:15 |
| evopilot | the program that created the menu/frontend is what I am after | 19:15 |
| bazhang | please give us the exact example of what "data" you want to autoplay | 19:15 |
| evopilot | files | 19:16 |
| bazhang | exact example, please | 19:16 |
| evopilot | text, jpg, png, audio..... | 19:16 |
| bazhang | so the software to run those | 19:16 |
| evopilot | software that points to any one of those inside a menu system on the frontend of a cd/dvd | 19:17 |
| David-A | evopilot: there is the concept that if there is a program on a cd, you can have the computer automatically start the program when you insert the cd. is that what you want? | 19:17 |
| bazhang | that would be in media settings; what to do when a certain type of cd/dvd was inserted | 19:18 |
| evopilot | what if I had 20,000 images on one dvd | 19:18 |
| evopilot | and I wanted to view 'some' of them? | 19:18 |
| bazhang | but to have some software on the cd/dvd auto run seems like a certain security risk | 19:18 |
| evopilot | nah...google "autoplay media studio" | 19:19 |
| evopilot | you'll know what I mean. | 19:19 |
| bazhang | for windows? | 19:20 |
| evopilot | that is for windows yes | 19:20 |
| bazhang | sounds like "security risk" would be the number one result | 19:20 |
| evopilot | I want one for xubuntu | 19:20 |
| bazhang | doubtful that exists | 19:21 |
| xubuntu967 | hello | 19:21 |
| evopilot | :) | 19:22 |
| xubuntu967 | I need help for seting up my usb speakers and analog ouput | 19:23 |
| xubuntu967 | can anyone help me? | 19:23 |
| evopilot | I don't know if I can help, whats the problem? | 19:24 |
| David-A | evopilot: what happens if you in settings>removable drives select "auto-open files" ? | 19:25 |
| evopilot | a menu runs instead | 19:25 |
| xubuntu967 | A friend configurated xubuntu last day and no sound at all from usb speaker nor from he computer. the thing is i don t know anything, so i need to be guided to fix it... | 19:27 |
| xubuntu967 | any idea on what i can do? | 19:28 |
| evopilot | you could left-click the audio icon at the top right and choose "sound settings" | 19:28 |
| evopilot | in there you can choose the output channel | 19:29 |
| xubuntu967 | this is done, i tried to play with all the settings but nothing went out | 19:29 |
| evopilot | I take it you unmuted the audio? | 19:30 |
| xubuntu967 | indeed! | 19:32 |
| xubuntu967 | dont know wha i did before, maybe wrong combination | 19:32 |
| evopilot | have you tried plugging them in and restarting the computer? | 19:32 |
| evopilot | see if xubuntu finds them? | 19:33 |
| xubuntu967 | now it works with the usb, tks | 19:33 |
| xubuntu967 | now, still nothing from the computer (if i remove usb, no sound comes out), how can i fix it? | 19:34 |
| evopilot | no idea matey, I am relatively new myself | 19:34 |
| xubuntu967 | ok. do you know how to control the sound from the usb speaker in a more easy manner than to go in the settings? command doesn't answer from sound shortcuts | 19:36 |
| xubuntu967 | anyone to help me for the sounds settings? | 19:40 |
| xubuntu967 | anyone to help me for the sounds settings? | 19:46 |
| xubuntu967 | anyone to help me for the sounds settings? | 19:53 |
| xubuntu967 | anyone to help me for the sounds settings? | 19:59 |
| Cheri703 | !patience | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:00 |
| xubuntu967 | sorry, i was afraid that my question is lost in he post that s why.. | 20:01 |
| Cheri703 | You have asked at least 4 times without any posts in between. If someone can help, they will. It is entirely possible that no one will be able to help. I encourage you to check out the links above. | 20:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | !sound | xubuntu967 | 20:02 |
| ubottu | xubuntu967: 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. | 20:02 |
| xubuntu967 | ubottu: thank you, trying to sort it out | 20:16 |
| ubottu | xubuntu967: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:16 |
| xubuntu967 | hehe, you know much more than me anyway | 20:16 |
| xubuntu967 | for sure it must be something very stupid | 20:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | have you tried pavucontrol? | 20:18 |
| xubuntu967 | what is alsa? | 20:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info pavucontrol | 20:18 |
| ubottu | pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1 (quantal), package size 140 kB, installed size 953 kB | 20:18 |
