steviegHello, I have an old ibm x41. I had ubuntu 13.10 on it and my audio worked fine. System was slow so I intsalled lubumtu and over wrote everything. Now my sound doesn't work at all. any ideas?00:56

ubottustevieg: 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 !mp3.01:04
holsteini would open a terminal and run "aplay -l" and look for the sound device, the i would run "alsamixer" and trust no labels, tweaking everything01:04
steviegI will give that a try, thank you01:07
DevZeroi'm trying to resurrect an old dell 2400 for a senior citizen who only wants to surf a few websites...however, the onboard graphics are very buggy on linux and flash (i.e. youtube) is unwatchable.  so i want to buy a refurb card for it, but am not sure about compatibility.  how does someone know definitively if something is compatible in these situations with older hardware?  specifically, i'd like to know if this c04:32
ianorlinminitube?04:32
ianorlinfor youtube if flash isn't work04:33
DevZeroianorlin: interesting...never heard of that app04:34
DevZerobut this system will be going to someone else...an older person who's probably going to want to watch youtube on a browser04:34
DevZeroand browse the web which is full of flash04:35
Unit193DevZero: Let me guess, purple and green and wrong shape?04:35
DevZerowould rather just buy a card and forget about it04:35
DevZeroUnit193: yes exactly04:35
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/dTlOS3fXHicAmVG9hyuo as /etc/X11/xorg.conf  or you can just get the new card. :)04:36
DevZeroUnit193: the solution is simple as that, huh?04:37
Unit193DevZero: Your card is getting set to 16bit color, flash doesn't know how to handle that.04:37
DevZeroUnit193: it's not even a card, it's just the crappy onboard graphics, but i get your point04:38
DevZeroi'll probably opt for getting a card, but that's good information to know04:38
DevZeroUnit193: do you think the card in my link will work with the mobo?04:39
Unit193DevZero: There was no link, you were cut off at "i'd like to know if this "04:40

YaMoonSunHey people; How's it going?14:29
YaMoonSunI'm having a bit of a problem with my camera; Is this the place to get assistance?14:31
IAmNotThatGuyYaMoonSun, Shoot it oit14:34
IAmNotThatGuys/oit/out14:34
YaMoonSunGotcha mate; It's a lifecam-5000, and I can't get the audio to work on tinychat. The video is fine. If I enable both I get neither.14:35
IAmNotThatGuyAudio and video are two different drivers14:37
IAmNotThatGuybtw, you are able to play music right?14:37
YaMoonSunJust.. In general? I have yet to download an mp3. I'm watching a video though, and the audio's coming in just fine.14:39
YaMoonSunThe audio and video are coming from the same device though; I was surprised that Linux detected the cam at all14:40
YaMoonSunBetter something than nothing14:40
IAmNotThatGuyOkay... What version of java are you having?14:40
IAmNotThatGuyJust wondering whether it is a Java or a browser issue14:42
YaMoonSunI'm.. Unaware. I may have failed to install it, but if so I have no idea how Tinychat is funtioning.14:42
YaMoonSunUsing the latest firefox14:42
YaMoonSunJava wasn't installed manually, so if it's not built in, I don't have it.14:42
YaMoonSunThey offered me a taz file and I need a deb14:43
IAmNotThatGuyyou can check the version by running java -version in terminal14:43
YaMoonSunk14:43
YaMoonSunI don't think i have it, lol14:43
IAmNotThatGuyhehe... Just install it from the software center and get back to us if you still have issues :]14:44
IAmNotThatGuyand I'd suggest you to check the flash player too...14:45
YaMoonSunI have the latest flash player (From the LSC) but I don't see java in there14:46
YaMoonSunDo I get it from java.com?14:48
geniiShould be part of the metapackage lubuntu-restricted-extras14:48
IAmNotThatGuyhttp://openjdk.java.net/install/14:49
YaMoonSunCheers, it's downloading.14:50
IAmNotThatGuyOkies.. Just let us know about the outcome of the installation :]14:55
YaMoonSunHow long have you been using lubuntu? (Or are you?)14:58
IAmNotThatGuyNot at work.... I use lxde in one of my desktops15:00
YaMoonSunWhat's your primary OS, and what do you do? (Sorry for being nosy, just curious.)15:01
IAmNotThatGuyYaMoonSun, you can join us in #lubuntu-offtopic ;]15:03
thehodappI'm not entirely sure how to report bugs to Lubuntu (it doesn't seem to be very straightforward always!!), but I thought I'd post this here. It seems there is a conflict with system-logind and xfce4-power-manager. I posted about it on askubuntu and got a good answer, but this shouldn't be a problem I think. http://askubuntu.com/questions/363510/power-button-in-lubuntu-13-10-will-not-suspend/368306?noredirect=1#36830617:27
brainwashthehodapp: bug 122202117:56

* Unit193 knew it, did a lastlog and didn't see it though.17:58

YaMoonSunGood afternoon; I can't seem to cam up on TinyChat with my Microsoft Lifecam-5000. Adobe and Java appear to be up to date, and the camera is being detected, but no display.23:22
ianorlindo you have flash23:22
ianorlinas that is waht tinychat uses23:22
YaMoonSunYes, that was the first thing I installed after the OS installed.23:24
ianorlindoes gucview work?23:25
ianorlinconnecting to view works fine right?23:26
YaMoonSunYeah, no problems, but I have yet to record anything with sound.23:26
ianorlinarecord -t 10 can see if mic is working or you can agian test in gucview and what browser are you using23:31
YaMoonSunFirefox 25 for ubuntu23:32
YaMoonSunarecord is a 3rd party softwrae?23:33
wxlYaMoonSun: no, it's part of alsa23:34
YaMoonSunI'm fairly new, and I can't find it; It's in the software center?23:34
ianorlinno in terminal23:35
wxlnope, you have it already23:35
ianorlinor you can use gucview for gui23:35
YaMoonSungucview + firefox = Too much CPU usage - I have to kill the task.23:36
YaMoonSunNevermind, it freezes regardless.23:39
YaMoonSunThis is crap; I was able to cam up twice, I don't know why it's being such a little bitch.23:46
YaMoonSunMy clock switched itself to military standard time; Why, and how do I change it back.23:58
