XRS1bah! running Saucy on a laptop and everytime i close the lid, the computer goes to sleep. i already went into Settings manager -> Power Manager and turned it off /restarted the system02:50
XRS1still it sleeps when closed02:50
XRS1n i keep forgetting n closing the lid when updateing/installing software/reporting problems02:50
OvenWerksXRS1: I think it is in two places...02:55
XRS1i've looked the whole thing over and it should'nt still be sleeping when closed02:56
OvenWerksHave you checked the screen saver settings?02:56
OvenWerksThe advanced tab has some power stuff too02:56
XRS1screensaver is not loaded @ boot. warning me its not running now that i'm checking02:57
XRS1not seeing anything about sleep other than after x amount of time, which isn't enabled02:58
OvenWerksYa something else.03:00
OvenWerksI have left my netbook on for... weeks for sure. but it is sitting on a desk open.03:01
OvenWerksIn power manager: general I have: when battery present, ask, nothing,nothing, and both boxes checked.03:04
XRS1i have both lid options set for Do Nothing03:04
sirriffsalotXRS1: have you tried changing Desktop Environment at all?03:05
XRS1?03:06
XRS1havent really done anything. just installed Saucy this evening, first thing i did was run dist-upgrade then closed the lid. luckily i didnt seem to mess up dpkg or anything03:07
sirriffsalotXRS1: are you new to GNU/Linux??03:10
XRS1eh yes and no.  been using linux since the late 90's but just as a secondary OS to fix windows and maybe screw around a bit.  last year i broke the hard drive in the laptop and had to run from an SD card and havent gone back to windows since03:11
sirriffsalotXRS1: before you type in your password (or not) and login, there is a scroll-down bar where you can select a desktop environment, yours is probably on "GNOME" or "XFCE[something]" Try changing it to some of the others and do the same again03:12
XRS1for saucy they removed all those options03:12
XRS1"to avoid confusion"03:13
XRS1im in xfce03:14
OvenWerksthere was only xfce and ubuntustudio, both were xfce. So it is xfce either way.03:23
Unit193Though, xfce will overwrite your config and you'll have to remove it to "get back to" UbuntuStudio.03:25
OvenWerksI don't know if I dare test on mine though, because the bios is messed up and I have to have a vga monitor plugged in to boot or I get no video.03:25
OvenWerksThere is no xfce session any more03:25
Unit193OvenWerks: Can you kexec jump it?03:26
OvenWerksAnd actually with the menu changes there is almost no difference anyway03:26
OvenWerkswhat is kexec ?03:26
Unit193It bypasses the BIOS in a reboot, so may work.03:27
OvenWerksNot if the computer went to sleep I think.03:27
Unit193'This package provides tools to load a kernel into memory and then "reboot" directly into that kernel using the kexec system call, bypassing the normal boot process.'03:27
OvenWerksAh, I will remember that.03:28
Unit193Ubuntu kernels support it, as do the Liquorix ones.03:28
OvenWerksThese acers have a known problem if they run the battery too low the the bios seems to loose track of the lvds screen.03:29
XRS1i really need to be able to close the lid without it sleeping03:29
OvenWerksYa, I feel the same way.03:29
XRS1maybe i borked it the first time n i should just re-install?03:30
OvenWerksAre you sure it is not just the monitor going to sleep? have you set the monitor controls to zero as well03:31
XRS1it sleeps n screws up whatever i was doing03:31
XRS1blue power light is a red blinky light indicating sleep03:32
OvenWerksOk, that makes sense.03:32
OvenWerkshave you looked at the syslog to see what it says happened?03:33
OvenWerksmaybe the lid switch is being mistaken for some thing else03:33
XRS1where is that again?03:34
OvenWerks/var/log/syslog03:34
OvenWerksthere are other log files in there too.03:34
XRS1Sep  6 19:36:48 nv NetworkManager[726]: <info> sleep requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)03:37
XRS1then it sleeps03:38
OvenWerksThere is no udev liine?03:38
XRS1ran a search, 0 results03:39
XRS1 /button/input0 is never referenced03:43
XRS1let me do another one03:45
OvenWerksWhat happens if in the settings->session and startup->application autostart you turn off the power manager?03:48

Guest30980hi guys im trying to run zynaddsubfx and i get no sound maybe my audio path is not dev/dsp03:51
Guest30980any way to find it03:51
OvenWerks/dev/dsp?03:52
Guest30980anyone here03:52
Guest30980thats the devault i see in znyadd03:52
Guest30980in settings im figureing this mayd not be right i have no soun03:53
OvenWerksare you running jack?03:53
Guest30980i dont know im a newb03:53
Guest30980i installed ubuntu studio so i guess it dod  have everything wha03:53
OvenWerksok. Lets start from the begining then.03:54
Guest30980i guess i just need to be broke in to getting this music software working i have tried em all and none of them worked expect the basics hydrogen and audiacity03:54
Guest30980sure03:54
Guest30980thanks for the help too03:54
OvenWerksaudacity probably plays through pulse, which is the default desktop sound server.03:55
XRS1nope.03:55
OvenWerkshydrogen generally will start jackd up.03:55
OvenWerksXRS1: nope which?03:56
XRS1Power Manager is not checked in application auto-start, i rebooted and it still sleeps when the lid is closed03:56
XRS1i removed the check and restarted*03:56
Guest30980well i started jacked up and sill no sound from zynadd soft synth03:57
OvenWerksOk, that means that none of the desktop settings will have any effect03:57
OvenWerksXRS1: ^^03:57
Guest30980any way to find the audio output path its not dev/dsp03:58
XRS1well it didnt have this problem this morning on 13.0403:58
OvenWerksGuest30980: you have to start jackd then use qjackctl to connect it.03:58
Guest30980how do i start jackd03:58
XRS1Guest30980,  /var/log/udev   <--this should know03:59
OvenWerksYa, that I figie=red03:59
OvenWerksBut what I am saying XRS1, is that whatever is putting it to sleep is sub session level. So if you get to the login screen and close the lid it will probably slep too.04:00
OvenWerksMaybe xfce4-power-manager is supposed to turn that off and doesn't04:00
OvenWerksGuest30980: do you have more than one sound card?04:01
OvenWerksXRS1: I think you have found a bug. It would be great if you could see if the live session from an ISO boot does the same thing.04:02
Guest30980oh crap i hate this04:02
XRS1k04:03
OvenWerksThere is a learning curve, but once you figure it out it is very flexable04:03
OvenWerksXRS1: if it happens with the live session, I would like to see if this happens on an xubuntu live session04:03
XRS1well that i cant do. would take 5 hours on this connection04:04
OvenWerksstudio is very simmiler to xubuntu, and xubuntu have some of the xfce devs in there too.04:04
XRS1but i can start that now and run the studio version04:04
Guest30980can anyone help me out here04:06
OvenWerksif you want to try xubuntu, I would just copy the iso image to a new directory and run the xubuntu zsync against it. It should take a lot less time04:06
OvenWerksI am trying, Guest30980 how many sound cards do you have.04:06
OvenWerks?04:06
Guest30980one i guess04:06
Guest30980its a laptop04:07
XRS1do you have HDMI?04:07
OvenWerksOk.04:07
Guest30980i have a tv tuner plugged in04:07
OvenWerksthat sounds like a second sound source.04:07
OvenWerksbut that should not affect things too much.04:07
Guest30980how can i find my sound card path04:08
Guest30980dev/dsp i dont think is right just to be sure04:08
Guest30980do u know the command04:08
Guest30980???04:08
OvenWerksGuest30980: probably now that you have run hydrogen there is a jackd running that needs to be killed04:08

Guest30980gee thanks pal04:26
XRS1okay, the live CD sleeps when laptop lid is closed in the live 13.10b1. Sleep is not even an option for that in Power Manager. (no rush)04:26
OvenWerksThankyou for having patience04:27
OvenWerks :)04:27
OvenWerksSo if you sudo apt-get install zsync04:28
XRS1eh.. im fine with just downloading the ISO.  its already 25% there04:28
OvenWerksOK, because this sounds like a bug xubuntu would like to know about... although it is probably a general ubuntu thing.04:29
XRS1so where should i file the bug?04:30
gamer_hey man thanks i got sound now i had to reboot04:31
gamer_sorry i got impatient04:31
XRS1XD04:31
OvenWerksgamer_: great04:33
OvenWerksXRS1: if you open a terminal and do ubuntu-bug xfce4-power-manager04:33
OvenWerksit should do it all on its own pretty much04:34
gamer_yeah man that was it the path was jacked up its hw04:34
OvenWerksYou will04:34
gamer_which synth do u use and is it a soft synth04:34
OvenWerksXRS1: you will end up with the browser at a login page probably04:35
OvenWerksI would use qsynth for most thng04:35
OvenWerks*things04:35
OvenWerkshexter is a nice dx7 clone04:35
OvenWerksaeolus if you want pipes04:36
OvenWerksqsynth is pretty general though04:36
OvenWerksgamer_: how are you triggering it? midi keyboard or from a program?04:37
gamer_triggering what04:37
gamer_im using a software synth no hard keyboard here04:37
OvenWerkstriggering the synth04:38
OvenWerksYou might like LMMS which has synth modules in it already as well as a sequencer04:39
OvenWerksIt is a "fruity loops" clone.04:39
gamer_do i make them all work by doing the hw 0 thing04:39
gamer_i take it04:39
OvenWerksok.04:40
OvenWerks if you want them to mix together you will want to use jack. If you just one at a time hw:0 is fine04:40
