| Steven- | erm.. i have no sound and tried to follow a hand full of different sound troublshooting tutorials out there to no avail. I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| Steven- | any sugggestions | 00:39 |
| Steven- | It was working then somthing happend | 00:40 |

| ubottu | Steven-: 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. | 03:33 |
| holstein | Steven-: i would just elaboarate.. *what* specifically happened? when? and how? | 03:33 |
| holstein | Steven-: remove flash from the euqation, since, adobe doesnt provide a current linux version | 03:34 |
| holstein | http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ you can use the chrome browser, which adobe provides a current version of flash for.. you can use that flash with chromium | 03:35 |
| Unit193 | Lubuntu comes only with alsa by default, if sound never worked you can try pulse. | 03:37 |

| Steven- | Sound worked then I must have broke it. I couldn | 04:00 |
| Steven- | I couldn't tell you what software I was installing or what I was doing to break it | 04:01 |
| Steven- | lol | 04:01 |
| holstein | Steven-: ok.. then, i suggest you back up and reinstall | 04:01 |
| holstein | Steven-: try and keep notes on what commands you run, and why.. and what packages you install, or PPA's | 04:02 |
| Steven- | I'll think I'll go without sound | 04:02 |
| holstein | cool.. enjoy! | 04:02 |
| holstein | there are a couple easy tips at that link above ^ | 04:02 |
| holstein | lspci or lsusb to see the interface.. then, aplay -l | 04:02 |
| holstein | those in a terminal.. then, check alsamixer to make sure all is up or at an expected level | 04:03 |
| holstein | check the bios.. test the hardware with a supported operating system.. try a live CD.. see if the hardware is working properly | 04:03 |
| Steven- | hw is fine | 04:03 |
| Steven- | checking out the linl | 04:04 |
| Steven- | link | 04:04 |
| holstein | Steven-: sure.. just dont assume the hardware is fine. actually try and test it, otherwise, you can be wasting time trying to address a hardware problem in software | 04:05 |
| holstein | i only say this becuase i have done it at least a half-dozen times.. and a few times with audio devices.. | 04:05 |
| Steven- | I did a live cd to check it | 04:05 |
| Steven- | i think im having permission errors | 04:06 |
| holstein | Steven-: what makes you think that? you can try playing audio as a new user, or the guest user.. please dont test audio with the web browser.. | 04:07 |
| Steven- | **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** | 04:07 |
| Steven- | Home directory not accessible: Permission denied | 04:07 |
| Steven- | what returns after sudo aplay -l | 04:08 |
| holstein | Steven-: who said sudo? | 04:08 |
| Steven- | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 04:08 |
| holstein | anyways.. you'll be able to see if you have devices to playback on using "aplay -l".. and you can test as another user | 04:09 |
| holstein | that will troubleshoot your user permisions vs the hardware/software config | 04:09 |
| Steven- | ya I guess I wasn't supposed to use sudo lol | 04:10 |
| Steven- | holstein, the command to refresh/reinstall the drivers on the ubuntu wiki used aptitude. Should I install that and use that instead of apt-get? | 04:16 |
| holstein | Steven-: you shouldnt have any drivers you have installed for the audio | 04:23 |
| holstein | Steven-: the kernel is modular, and just has drivers basically "baked" into it.. and you didnt add any to make it work, so you should need to mess wit hthat | 04:23 |
| holstein | Steven-: it would be helpful to know what you did before this happened.. like, a kernel update, or adding a PPA, or whatever.. you can easily try booting the older kernel from grub, and running the guest account and checking the audio | 04:24 |
| Steven- | I could probably try that | 04:27 |
| holstein | could? no.. you can easily try all of those, if you feel it will help you figure out what is up with your system | 04:27 |
| Steven- | I did upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 14.10 to see if that would fix it | 04:27 |
| holstein | Steven-: i suggest a fresh install of 14.04, after backing up, since, you should have a backup regardless | 04:28 |
| holstein | its likely something with the user account, and is a common element between the 2 versions.. | 04:28 |
| Steven- | ya I got a back up and will likely reinstall later. Was just trying to see if I could figure out how to fix it | 04:29 |
| holstein | does it work as another user? | 04:29 |
| Steven- | I only have one user. can I just create a new user to test? | 04:30 |
| holstein | Steven-: there is a guest user | 04:30 |
| holstein | Steven-: you can create one if you like.. | 04:30 |
| Steven- | Holstein I appreciate the time and help. Will have to work on it tomorrow. | 04:47 |
| |aaron | i have a really old dell (2003) with an intel integrated "3d extreme graphics". any chance of getting this to work? | 07:08 |
| |aaron | so the answer is YES! booted up fine! | 07:50 |
| Garbonzo | hi all, was just installing on a virtualbox vm and this is what the installer looked like! http://picpaste.com/what-have-you-done-to-me-lenny-VbyMkJAc.png | 10:37 |
| dkessel | Garbonzo: switch to vt1 using crtl+alt+f1, then switch back to vt7 using ctrl+alt+f7 | 10:42 |
| Garbonzo | dkessel: thanks, good tip. was just checking dmesg in vt1 when you suggested that! now have a desktop... any idea what caused the screenburp? | 10:44 |
| dkessel | or, in virtualbox that often is right ctrl+f1, then right ctrl+f7 | 10:44 |
| dkessel | Garbonzo: it's a known issue with virtualbox | 10:44 |
| Garbonzo | ah, ok. likely to carry over from the live cd or will i be ok on install? had 14.04 working perfectly in virtualbox until i went too far playing with lxqt -- shame to have to vt each boot... | 10:45 |
| dkessel | Garbonzo: if i remember correctly it is gone after installation | 10:47 |
| Garbonzo | dkessel: great, thanks. halfway through install so i'll see what happens | 10:47 |
| Garbonzo | dkessel: all working fine in new vm, thanks | 11:00 |
| dkessel | Garbonzo: you're welcome :) | 11:01 |
| fasted | Hi everyone. | 20:50 |
| fasted | I am running ubuntu 14.04, and have just installed lubuntu-desktop. | 20:51 |
| fasted | I need help with turning capslock to control. | 20:52 |
| fasted | This works for me: xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' | 20:53 |
| fasted | xmodmap -e 'keycode 0x42 = Control_R' | 20:53 |
| fasted | xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_R' | 20:53 |
| fasted | But how do I make it permanent? | 20:54 |
| testdr | fasted: there is no way to make it permanent - you have to set it every time in your session - if you do the setting systemwide, then you have to ensure that no other thing (like x11-keymapping etc.) makes any changes | 21:00 |
| fasted | Ok, can I make it happen automatically whenever I start a new session? | 21:01 |
| testdr | fasted: you have to try (i dont use this and wont test it for you): one way is to set it systemwide in an init-script (probably that runs after start of keyboard initialization - for example in /etc/rc2.d but if anything later changes the keyboardsettings, then it has to be done after this or the changes have to be disabled (for example in the language-keyboard-setting lxpanel-icon) | 21:08 |
| fasted | testdr: ok, thank you | 21:31 |
