| pikurasa_ | Hello US world! Does anyone want to entertain a problem that I need help with? Would much appreciate it :) | 02:55 |
|---|---|---|
| pikurasa_ | And, yes, I have tried everything I could imagine already trying to fix it. | 02:56 |
| pikurasa_ | If you live in MA I will bake you cookies LOL | 02:57 |
| pikurasa_ | Basically, I cannot seem to open the Sound Settings or Pulse Audio Volume Control. | 03:02 |
| pikurasa_ | For that matter, I cannot even open Gparted! | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | If you open them via terminal, what happens? | 03:02 |
| gs | ss | 03:03 |
| gs | d | 03:03 |
| pikurasa_ | Haven't tried. What is command? I tried "pulseaudio" in CL a few days ago, but that is something different, right? | 03:03 |
| Unit193 | pavucontrol | 03:03 |
| gs | where i am? | 03:04 |
| pikurasa_ | This is error for gparted: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangomm-1.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:04 |
| pikurasa_ | pavucontrol: error while loading shared libraries: libpangomm-1.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:04 |
| pikurasa_ | Am I missing a library? | 03:04 |
| pikurasa_ | Synaptic hasn't reported any missing libs or broken packages... | 03:05 |
| pikurasa_ | I look at Synaptic and it is there... | 03:06 |
| pikurasa_ | libpangomm-1.4-1 is installed. | 03:06 |
| pikurasa_ | This is what I think caused the problem... | 03:06 |
| pikurasa_ | I installed the gnome-shell a while back along side the US desktop environment. | 03:07 |
| pikurasa_ | It was a theoretically brilliant idea. | 03:07 |
| Unit193 | You're on wily. Run updates. | 03:07 |
| pikurasa_ | On wily? | 03:07 |
| pikurasa_ | I should be on Trusty... | 03:08 |
| pikurasa_ | Everything looks like it is on Trusty... | 03:09 |
| pikurasa_ | I update all the time. | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | Strange, figured it was the rebuild of stuff, but you could perhaps be just missing that. | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | !find libpangomm-1.4.so.1 trusty | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Package/file libpangomm-1.4.so.1 does not exist in trusty | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | !find libpangomm-1.4.so.1 | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Found: W:, W:, W: | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | !find libpangomm-1.4.so.1 | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Package/file libpangomm-1.4.so.1 does not exist in vivid | 03:11 |
| pikurasa_ | What I imagined the problem to be is that Gnome and xfce are sharing some of the same config files. | 03:12 |
| pikurasa_ | Actually, where I am now is a lot better than a week ago. I couldn't even access the desktop a week ago. | 03:12 |
| pikurasa_ | lightdm became broken | 03:12 |
| pikurasa_ | So I had to go to TTY and uninstall and reinstall it. | 03:13 |
| Unit193 | apt-cache policy gparted | pastebinit ? | 03:14 |
| pikurasa_ | https://goblinrefuge.com/mediagoblin/u/pikurasa/m/having-trouble-with-gparted/ | 03:24 |
| pikurasa_ | Do you also want to see the one for pavucontrol? | 03:33 |
| pikurasa_ | I tried doing sudo install --reinstall gparted a few days ago when I became fed up with the problem... | 03:33 |
| pikurasa_ | to no avail. | 03:33 |
| pikurasa_ | Could this have caused a problem... When I was trying to fix my problem to run the GUI desktop environment... | 03:39 |
| pikurasa_ | I did run xfce as root a couple of times. | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, why? | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | why run root? | 03:40 |
| pikurasa_ | I don't think that I had the problem before then... but then again. I had a crippling problem at the time and I was just trying to fix it. | 03:40 |
| pikurasa_ | I ran as root because the desktop environment wouldn't work AT ALL. | 03:41 |
| pikurasa_ | So I just started trying stuff. | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, that's ... not the way to fix. | 03:41 |
| pikurasa_ | And running as root loaded the GUI. | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | so ... no xfce works perfectly, right? | 03:41 |
| pikurasa_ | XFCE works now because I uninstalled lightdm and then reinstalled it. | 03:42 |
| pikurasa_ | from the TTY | 03:42 |
| pikurasa_ | after I ran XFCE as root and searched the internet for solutions. | 03:42 |
| pikurasa_ | I noticed that running as root did screw with some of the config files. | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, exactly | 03:43 |
| pikurasa_ | I have restored from a backup, which fixed the configs. | 03:43 |
| pikurasa_ | But now I need to get pavucontrol, gparted, and the gang up and running again. | 03:44 |
| pikurasa_ | Is that possible with my current situation? | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | Did you ever apt-get --reinstall install libpangomm-1.4-1 ? | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, I'd normally say yes, but root introduces a whole bunch weirdness into the equation. Personally, I'd get a md5sum verified .iso and reinstall rather than chase the tail of residual problems. | 03:46 |
| pikurasa_ | Unit193 It worked!!! | 03:48 |
| Unit193 | Still would be interesting to know why you got random breakage. | 03:48 |
| pikurasa_ | and GParted works! | 03:49 |
| pikurasa_ | and pavucontrol! | 03:49 |
| pikurasa_ | Its all back again!!! | 03:49 |
| Unit193 | 'Welcome. | 03:49 |
| pikurasa_ | I am still a computer idiot, but at least the problem on the surface is fixed... LOL | 03:49 |
| pikurasa_ | And now I know to never start xfce as root. | 03:50 |
| pikurasa_ | Like, now I REALLY know. | 03:50 |
| pikurasa_ | I will be telling my grandkids about it. | 03:50 |
| Unit193 | Pretty much. Wonder if the perms on the authority files just got messed up. | 03:50 |
| pikurasa_ | I wonder why the GUI wouldn't start that one day... | 03:51 |
| pikurasa_ | oh the mysteries of free software... | 03:52 |
| pikurasa_ | Okay, I was not serious about the cookies, but... | 03:53 |
| pikurasa_ | HERE ARE SOME AWESOME VIDEOS!!! | 03:53 |
| pikurasa_ | Check this out! | 03:53 |
| pikurasa_ | https://goblinrefuge.com/mediagoblin/u/pikurasa/collection/music-blocks/ | 03:53 |
| pikurasa_ | This is software I helped guide the development for. Its MusicBlocks, a SugarLabs project. | 03:54 |
| pikurasa_ | Made the videos with Ubuntu Studio! | 03:54 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, include "made with ubuntustudio" in the credits and/or encode a US watermark. | 03:55 |
| pikurasa_ | Thank you! Wife says to go to bed now. | 03:55 |
| pikurasa_ | How do you do the watermark? | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, I used ffmpeg but you could also use avconv or even the gui video apps | 03:56 |
| pikurasa_ | Also, I had trouble putting meta data in with Pitivi. | 03:56 |
| pikurasa_ | I used Pitivi because KDen Live was too complex for this simple project. | 03:57 |
| pikurasa_ | I have used ffmpeg2theora before... | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17410394/how-to-render-a-watermark-with-transparency-into-a-video | 03:58 |
| pikurasa_ | I have yet to try the newer builds of Pitivi which may work better. I used the Pitivi that was in main repo. | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, I suspect openshot is the least complex video editor | 03:59 |
| pikurasa_ | Pitivi worked great but the version in repos is "buggy" and meta data was non-existent from what I could tell. | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, tried to view your videos, but the Great Firewall said "no way" | 04:00 |
| pikurasa_ | What? | 04:01 |
| cfhowlett | I'm in China. | 04:01 |
| pikurasa_ | First time using Media Goblin, but... | 04:01 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, China blocks a whole list of websites. for some reason MG and Dropbox are not allowed | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, ah! false! just took awhile to get through | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, not bad. suggestions: clean up your voice audio. audacity > sample a non-speaking section > remove noise. then amplify, compress and equalize. | 04:04 |
| pikurasa_ | Okay. Non-speaking section means the sound from browser software synth? | 04:07 |
| pikurasa_ | Also, I added "Videos made with all free/libre software, GNU/Linux operating system, and Ubuntu Studio distribution (http://ubuntustudio.org/)" | 04:07 |
| pikurasa_ | as a quick credit hack. | 04:07 |
| pikurasa_ | Okay, if I don't stop making typing noise over here I will see divorce papers. | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | pikurasa, another time then. | 04:08 |
| pikurasa_ | Thanks for the guidance! | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 04:08 |
