[08:37] <Micky> Hi all
[08:37] <Micky> I have a problem with Lubuntu 12.04
[08:38] <Micky> It try to start but halt during loading Apache web server
[08:39] <Micky> it isn't locked because I'm able to interact with it by keyboard
[08:39] <Micky> what could be ?
[09:51] <leszek> hi
[18:00] <gnarh> Hello everybody. I've got a strange audio-related problem. All sound I record with my mic is "stretched" in length to about twice the duration. As a result when I record my voice it sounds awfully deep. Also when I record 10 seconds of audio I get 20 seconds of audio file. I suspect there is something wrong with the sampling rate but I have no real idea as where to start. This is the first time I tried lubuntu (12.04.3 LTS). I've been using ubu
[18:01] <holstein> gnarh: i would look at what you are using to track it, and what you are tracking to (wav, mp3, ogg) and what you are playing back as
[18:01] <holstein> i would record a simple ogg, and play it back with something like vlc
[18:01] <wxl> for that matter, use arecord
[18:01] <holstein> its not likely that the "mic" is stretched, but more likely, the file playback or creation
[18:01] <wxl> if a record works, it's a problem with the settings in whatever software you're using
[18:02] <wxl> try arecord --duration=10
[18:03] <wxl> you can then use soxi (doesn't come with lubuntu standard) to check the duration
[18:10] <gnarh> holstein, wxl: I just downloaded an audio file. It plays nicely with mplayer. I can hear all incoming audio (like from skype) just fine. I recorded a bit with audacity and the pitch and time shifting only takes place when I record something. I try arecord in a bit.
[18:11] <holstein> gnarh: its more likely the way you are using audacity to create a file, or playback
[18:12] <gnarh> holstein:  Perhaps. The same problem occurs in skype, too.
[18:12] <holstein> gnarh: you said "i can hear all incoming aduio fine (like from skype)" which made me think there is not problem with it
[18:13] <holstein> gnarh: what is the problem with skype?
[18:14] <gnarh> I did the test call. I can hear the voice from the lady just fine. But when I hear my voice transmitted back its all deep and slow. Slower then I actually spoke.
[18:14] <holstein> gnarh: what audio device?
[18:15] <gnarh> holstein: It's the default setup
[18:15] <holstein> gnarh: sure.. with what hardware?
[18:17] <gnarh> lspci says: Multimedia audio controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
[18:22] <gnarh> holstein:  lshw says: (in addition to the above) Width: 32 bits
[18:22] <gnarh>              clock: 66MHz
[18:22] <gnarh>              capabilties: bus_master cap_list
[18:22] <gnarh>              configuration: driver=snd_atiixp latency=64 mingnt=2
[18:22] <gnarh>              Ressources: irq:17 memory:fe02a000-fe02a0ff
[18:27] <holstein> gnarh: what would i do? i would load up either a fresh user, or a few live CD's and test
[18:27] <holstein> i would try and leave it as generic as possible.. i would want 16bit
[18:34] <knome> any lubuntu testers around? :)
[18:35] <wxl> knome: been there, done that, bought the t-shirt
[18:35] <gnarh> thanks holstein. I try with a new user or a live cd. when I use arecord --duration=10 test.wav  it records for about 7 seconds (I used a stopwatch) and then I end up with a file that is 10 seconds long.
[18:36] <wxl> gnarh: you don't have pulseaudio running do you?
[18:36] <Unit193> knome: Want me to !ask you?
[18:37] <knome> Unit193, please.
[18:37] <phillw> knome: present :)
[18:37] <knome> we need somebody to test if https://launchpad.net/~micahg/+archive/patch-test/+packages works for you in saucy
[18:37] <knome> eg. doesn't break anything
[18:37] <wxl> ew xfce
[18:37]  * wxl runs away
[18:38] <knome> yeah, that's a productive attitude
[18:38] <phillw> knome: he was jesting!
[18:38] <wxl>  /set humour on
[18:38] <Unit193> knome: It doesn't have the full stack yet.
[18:38] <phillw> knome: do you want it dropping into an updated saucy?
[18:38] <knome> Unit193, no.
[18:41] <gnarh> wxl: I didn't start it manually. It's the default set up. unfortunately I can't pipe, because the keyboard doesn't fature the key. But a quick browse through ps -ax revealed nothing pulse related.
[18:43] <wxl> gnarh: which version of audacity are you using? and assumedly you downloaded skype the skype website itself?
[18:45] <gnarh> Version: 2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1
[18:45] <gnarh> I downloaded skype via the canonical partners repo. its 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2
[18:49] <phillw> knome: I'll be back at 22:00 UTC, hopefully the RC's should all be available by then and I'll be updating my ISO's. If you'd like it dropping into my 13.10 VM to test, give me a ping as to what you need checking and I'll do some testing for you. Regards, Phill.
[18:50] <gnarh> wxl: stand by a minute. i'll start a guest session and try arecord from there; as holstein suggested.
[18:53] <knome> phillw, basically test that anything using it doesn't break (apt-cache rdepends libfce4ui-1-0)
[18:54] <gnarh> wxl, holstein: It's the same. I did arecord --duration=20. The recording stopped after 13 seconds. But the file played back with aplay exactly 20 seconds.
[18:57] <wxl> gnarh: irrelevant. the question is to check audacity and skype
[18:58] <holstein> gnarh: sounds like its going to be hardwrae related.. i would record something forcing 16bit
[18:58] <Unit193> phillw: Should be just the power manager and xfce4-notifyd that need checked.
[18:59] <Unit193> (Little notification bubbles.)
[19:01] <gnarh> wxl: What do you want me to look for in particular? holstein: would a "arecord -f cd" suffice or do I need to do something in specific in order to do that?
[19:02]  * ianorlin wonders what would happen if you played the file on another computer if there is one avialable
[19:02] <wxl> gnarh: holstein was suggesting you get into livecd/guest and check audacity/skype
[19:02] <wxl> ianorlin: i'm pretty sure the issue isn't playback or even native recording
[19:02] <phillw> Unit193: knome okies, I'm just zsyning up the DE amd64 ISO.
[19:03] <ianorlin> ok
[19:03] <gnarh> ianorlin: I also played back a file I downloaded. It was just fine.
[19:03] <gnarh> wxl: Oh; that's what he meant. Okay. I compare the standard settings.
[19:04] <wxl> gnarh: do the exact process over
[19:05] <holstein> gnarh: i would literally test ever angle of this til i get a file that is the correct/expected size/pitch
[19:09] <wxl> off to lunch
[19:09]  * wxl hands the baton to holstein
[19:09] <gnarh> thanks wxl for your help. Enjoy your meal
[19:11] <gnarh> holstein: so far the settings of audacity seem the same as they are in the guest account.
[19:11] <gnarh> Perhaps it's useful to try a different audio hardware?
[19:21] <gnarh> holstein: I tried a few other devices in the settings of audacity and one of them worked. I switched from "default: MIc0" to "<device> (hw 0,0)". Something similar works with skype.
[19:21] <gnarh> Thank you so much for your effort. And my best regards to wxl.
[20:30] <phillw> Unit193:  I've looked at https://launchpad.net/~micahg/+archive/patch-test/+packages but cannot find the ppa name that I need to add via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PPA_Testing#How_to_Install_a_ppa_.28aka_Adding.29 which is the only way I'm familiar with.
[20:31] <Unit193> micahg/patch-test
[20:33] <knome> right.
[20:33] <knome> :)
[23:41] <ampw> netflix working on lubuntu?
[23:41] <wxl> !netflix
[23:41] <wxl> ↑ ampw
[23:42] <wxl> use at your own risk
[23:42] <ampw> thx brah will do
[23:42] <wxl> word, homes
[23:42] <ampw> word
[23:42] <ampw> wxl are you on lubuntu atm?
[23:42] <wxl> ampw: nope. kubuntu at work.
[23:43] <ampw> wxl: oh very nice, i like that distro too. Its light as well i think
[23:43] <ampw> i really like lubuntu but the bugs for me are ridiculous
[23:43] <wxl> ampw: meh, kinda sorta. it's not lubuntu.
[23:44] <wxl> ampw: EVERYTHING is buggy. i judge things more on how useful they are and how good the support is. my experience with lubuntu is the support is fabulous. except Unit193. he's a big meany.
[23:44]  * wxl starts rumours
[23:44] <ampw> wxl: he must be cray yo, what do you mean useful?
[23:45] <Unit193> >_>
[23:46] <ampw> hi unit193
[23:46] <wxl> ampw: i like lubuntu because it IS lightweight unlike other distros that claim to be. yet it is not so lightweight that you can't do anything with it. i run a very funky lubuntu at home that's essentially an audio workstation. i use repos from kxstudio and related projects. so the end result is BIG but the reason why it works is because the base OS (lubuntu) doesn't take up much space.
[23:47] <wxl> ampw: and i'll drive home the point again that support here is really, really good. there's lots of very friendly, knowledgeable people around. i'm lying about Unit193. he's one of the good guys.
[23:47] <Unit193> Eh, so-so at best. ;)
[23:47] <wxl> ampw: heck, i even use lxterminal in kubuntu :)
[23:47] <ampw> i see!
