[05:49] hi guys , i played a little with sound settings, now it records sound only from linein but not from microphone === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [07:25] Hi, i played with sound settings a bit, now recording records only soundcard output but not microphone.. [08:31] Good Morning [08:31] Is this the right place to ask for technical questions? [09:08] G'morning [09:08] still got that bigger laptop unable to boot to Kubuntu15.10 [09:10] How can I grab the system log and move that to the internet or another machine? [09:11] using "dpkg - Repair broken packages" wants to install about-distro and kubuntu-desktop but was not able to authenticate them [09:13] using the "safe mode" and then choosing resume normal boot gets the GUI up [09:13] jubo2: there is pastebinit - command-line pastebin client [09:13] ok I install that [09:14] ok and where is the system log? [09:15] /var/ something [09:15] mm, let me look [09:15] appears to be /var/log/syslog [09:15] the man says -i [filename] Use filename for input [09:16] ok. rebooting [09:16] I assume it defaults to http://paste.ubuntu.com [09:17] no networking in there [09:18] I copied the syslog and rebooting to safe mode now [09:27] I don't know what I'm looking for [09:28] http://apaste.info/riW [09:30] last thing it says is rsyslogd exiting [09:32] I cp'd the /var/log/syslog to another file and opened that up when boot to safe mode [09:32] am I getting the right file or the wrong file for figuring out what drops the booting to root shell [09:32] I gotta visit the store now to purhase some coffee [09:49] back [09:49] no.. this is not the portion of the syslog that deals with the unsuccessfull startup [09:50] it is just shutting down things [09:50] I just assumed it'd be in the end of the file [09:50] 2am here, heading to bed [09:51] some help should be along soon.... [09:51] ok. thanks for your help [09:57] I see some JACK errors [09:58] I see also kernel message that it "failed to disable graphics turbo" just prior to rsyslogd exiting on signal 15 [10:02] jubo2: that looks like hw problems, like insufficient voltage or overheating [10:09] Last signs of problem I saw before the system went to non-starting state was that some packages I tried to install with apt-get showed some errors [10:09] other than that all was fine and kaboom, rootshell on startup [10:12] the system stops and drops to root shell right after starting filesystem check [10:13] the one that usually runs for couple of second [10:13] Systemd shell? [10:13] lordievader: "Welcome to emergency mode!" [10:13] root@machine# [10:13] Yeah, that is a systemd shell. A critical service failed to start. [10:14] lordievader: last thing I did was to install some sort of LV2 instruments and filters for Ardour and that experienced some problems [10:15] that's the only thing unusual I can remember before system went into the non-starting state [10:15] what is the latest syslog file? [10:16] jubo2: There ain't such a think anymore. Use journalctl and systemctl to figure out which service failed. [10:16] ok. how do I do that? [10:17] it's gotta be that the JACK ( which is set to autostart after system startup ) is causing the problem [10:19] Someone halp! [10:19] I should be getting into Xmasy mood and not "stupid main computer will not start"-mode [10:22] no hold on [10:22] the PulseAudio is set to start after startup [10:23] the JACK is prlly loaded when starting up [10:24] lordievader: how do I figure out what service failed to start and how to remedy that? [10:24] Start with 'sudo systemctl --failed'. [10:25] one item [10:25] systemd-fsck [10:26] It does display the "Checking disks" for a fraction of second before dropping to root shell [10:26] So, you have a broken filesystem? [10:26] I dunno [10:26] Should I boot to safe mode and run the fsck there? [10:26] Rather in a live-cd. [10:27] ok. can totally do that [10:27] booting to LiveCD now [10:30] booted [10:30] what's the command to check the disks? [10:31] sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/ [10:31] Assuming you use ext4. [10:33] "/dev/sda is in use" [10:33] I'm supposed to point it to a partition I think [10:33] but I don't recall the numbers of the partition [10:35] I used 'ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/' to find the partition numbers [10:36] lordievader: it complains that /dev/sda5 is mounted [10:36] weird that I am in LiveCD [10:36] Unmount it then... [10:37] 'umount /dev/sda5' says "not mounted" [10:37] yet the fsck says it is mounted [10:38] /dev/sda7 should be the /home partition [10:38] I fsck that [10:38] it seems to have error [10:38] ok. now what? [10:39] retry booting with the /dev/sda7 fixed by fsck? [10:39] the /dev/sda5 gotta be the SWAP [10:39] only rational explanation why it is mounted in LiveCD run [10:40] jubo2: cat /proc/swaps [10:40] already rebooting [10:41] IT IS UP! [10:41] * jubo2 hugs lordievader === jubo2 is now known as juboxi [10:44] Feels good to be back [10:45] Mah compuutttaaahs operational [10:47] Oh noes [10:47] another woe [10:47] audio volume super-super-super quiet [10:48] I've checked that loudspeakers are loud and that volume on the computer is full [10:52] is there a volume control in pulse [10:52] I got JACK + PulseAudio bridged to JACK for non-pro audio programs to output sound too [10:53] I reboot and see what happens [10:58] Reboot didn't change a thing [10:59] Still can hear the audio from the PulseAudio -> JACK bridge very very silent [12:05] Hiyas all === charles_ is now known as Guest22449 [12:30] hi, my microphonenis not working, i can only record soundcard output [12:38] hay207, open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your mic volumes are turned up. [12:39] i did [12:39] im thinking to reconfigure pulseaudio [12:40] which audio chip ? [12:41] intel hda [12:41] Conexant CX20751/2 [12:41] as alsamixer says [12:42] i tried changing phonon, pavucontrol too [12:42] then you don't need pulseaudio. it's just a another layer of audio processing with switches [12:43] the problem is that it was working , idk what i did to miss it up [12:43] i uninstall pulseaudio? [12:43] mess* [12:44] i try deleting ~/config/pulse [12:45] I have intel hda, and I purged pulseaudio, buyt you may want to keep it if it was working earlier [13:01] I have do an upgrade to 15.10 and KDE5. Now I have following Problem: [13:02] Chrome ask on each startup to be defaultbrowser... choosing yes or no effect in nothing... on next startup the question appear again [13:02] kontact: Ask me everytime for kwallet-Passwort (even if i set "allow everytime access". [13:03] And kmail ask everytime to allow expired certificate (even if I choose "save setting forever" [13:03] whats on with kde ... it's a crap. [13:11] prillian5: You could try going to settings->applications and change the default for web browser to chromium instead of "use application based on link contents". [13:15] prillian5, open system settings>account details>KDE Wallet>Wallet Preferences Tab, uncheck the box beside "enable the KDE wallet subsystem" [13:15] BluesKaj: I wan't to use Kwallet [13:16] But to request all the time the passwort sucks. Before in KDE4 I never had this problem. [13:17] iulian: It's set to google-chrome [13:17] works like a charm in KDE4 before [13:17] ok, I never use kwallet so I can't help [13:19] hi, what's the difference between buildin audio analog stereo and monitor of buildin audio analog stereo ,found in pavucontrol [13:22] hay207, the first is alsa analog stereo and it hands off the signal to pulseaudio/pavucontrol [13:23] hands off= connects to [13:25] second? [13:28] BluesKaj: and the second? [13:29] is puseaudio/pavucontrol [13:29] pulseaudio/pavucontro === william is now known as Guest29557 === wilson is now known as Guest6553 === Guest6553 is now known as NoCreativity === bukai_ is now known as bukai === kinga_ is now known as obsrwr [14:40] Hi [14:48] am not getting any sound in my system [14:50] kitty_, the usual problem is automute is enabled in alsamixer [14:51] how to solve that problem then ? [14:54] kitty_, open a termina/konsole type alsamixer, then navigatre with the arrow keys to the automute and use the down arrow key to disable automute [14:55] then use escape key to exit alsmixer, then type sudo alsactl store and enter , there will be no output if it is saved correctly [15:01] in alsamixer there is nothing as called automute. [15:01] juch channels [15:01] if any is muted [15:01] there is S/PDIF , S/PDIF 1 , S/PDIF 2 [15:01] it's to far right, it might be hidden [15:04] ok open alsmixer again, F6, choose default [15:05] kitty_,^ [15:05] its already default only [15:05] what other choices are listed in F6? [15:06] 0 HDA intel HDMI ,1 HDA intel PCH [15:09] try 0 hda , that should be your default soundcard as listed in system settings>multimedia>device preference [15:12] after selecting 0 hda , shall i exit alsamixer? [15:14] kitty_, did you check automute is disabled? === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [15:16] still automute is not listed anywhere.? [15:16] i dont know how to check autmute [15:17] does alsamixer show several volume controls after \choosing 0 HDA? [15:19] no . everything is same as previous exceptthat card name and chip name has changed [15:21] all i know is that it is not toggle mute,i.e., toggle mute disabled [15:24] ok, kitty you need to change to hda in system settings>multimedia>device preference, use the test button on the bottom right to listen for a sound , unless you have pulseaudio as the default [15:26] kitty_, escape from alsamixer for naow [15:26] ok [15:27] i m following [15:48] hello [15:48] i just having ubuntu 15.10 is it possible to upgrade to kubuntu [15:52] what's your setup ? you can add kubuntu-desktop and choose which desktop environment you want to usea t login or you can do a clean kubuntu install [15:53] moni, do you have separate / and /home paritions? [15:56] blueska, yes i think so [15:56] do u mean separate drives/ [15:57] they could be on separate drives , but the usual pratice is separate partitions on the same drive [16:00] moni, I'm just thinking if you have them separate, then you could install kubuntu to / and set the /home mountpoint in the installer thereby saving your data, altho backing it up is recommended bvefore any type of OS install === regedit_ is now known as regedit [16:02] how to add kubuntu desktop Blueska//// i have windows in one drive and ubuntu in other drive (partition [16:04] hello [16:04] I'm attempting to fix the computer of my boss and nobody from whole #ubuntu is able to help me with one supposingly obvious thing: [16:05] if I type apt-get update it never finishes and I am unable to determine on what repo it stucks [16:05] some info here: http://fpaste.org/303999/45079833/raw/ [16:05] ++ additional info here http://fpaste.org/304005/7992001/raw/ [16:05] thanks much [16:05] ok moni , open a terminal and do , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, then, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [16:06] thanks blueska [16:06] i try this [16:10] blueskaj, what will be the difference between desktop and clean os environment ... [16:15] ntz, moni with a clean install there no longer be any gtk/gnome/unity based packaged , just KDE/Kubuntu packages, so no duplication in the applications menu === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [16:15] for me ? [16:15] oops ntz , sorry [16:15] no prob :) [16:15] unless you know the answer to my Q: also :) [16:15] nobody since friday was able to help in #buntu - it's wtf or hahaha .. I don't know [16:16] ntz, check your sources list in the package manager, it shouldn't be 404-ing [16:16] BluesKaj: http://fpaste.org/303999/45079833/raw/ +++ http://fpaste.org/304005/7992001/raw/ [16:17] yeah i saw that ntz [16:17] I did it .... still no clue what I should disable in sources.list (and/or why) [16:17] perhaps change the sources list server [16:17] I am not ubuntu guy - to be honest I hate ubuntu - so for me it's hard to solve it however I started with debian 15+ years in past so I dare to say, that I know regularly an ubuntu tools [16:18] BluesKaj: what did you mean with :: ``perhaps change the sources list server'' ? [16:19] blueskaj it is taking 1 gb for kubuntu desktop...installing now. .. thanks for the help ;) blueskaj have a nice day :) [16:28] ntz, open the software center>sources>configure software sources>in the resulting new gui choose download from dropdown and choose a different server [16:32] hello. i have a quite fresh kubuntu installation. kde does not start anymore, i just get a black screen, not even the login panel. since the last reboot i have installed a few qt5 packages, maybe they broke something. any ideas what i could do? [16:33] dny, were these qt5 packages installed by upgrading or from a ppa? [16:34] i installed them witb aptget, but i think from the official rep [16:34] so you didn't add appa to the reos? [16:34] repos [16:36] it was qt5-default, qttools5-dev-tools and qtdeclarative5-dev [16:36] how can i check the repos from the console? [16:38] dny, are you in a VT shell? ctl+alt+F2 for example [16:39] yeah, i have that shell [16:40] where is usually the kde is only a black screen [16:40] and xorg log does not show anything weird [16:40] nomodeset? [16:42] what is that? [16:44] dny, from the shell /VT login and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, or reboot and run the recovery kernel in grub, choose the repair [16:46] i will try that, thank you [16:46] repair in the gui that results [16:47] but if i remember it correctly, grub does not show me any options, just boots immediately [16:49] dny, hold the left shift key down right after the BIO??UEFI screen to get grub to appear [16:49] BIOS/UEFI [17:28] the system is now up to date. but the repair function did not help. still black screen... how can i manually start x or the window manager in kubuntu? [17:31] dny, ctl+alt+F1-F6 , then login, then run sudo systemctl enable sddm , then startx [17:34] does not work. "operation not supported". a restart gives me "unit sddm.service is masked" [17:35] are there any lock files / mechanisms ? It might be the case that my last shutdown was not clean... [18:03] I just followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee as I had someone mention I needed it. And after installing the packages and rebooting I'm just left with a black screen. Can't even get into tty... [18:04] Or well, I get the kubuntu splash, then it goes black, hitting powerbutton brings the kubuntu splash back before shutting down. [18:09] lost connection :( it seems that sddm was locked. still i just get a black screen instead of x... [18:16] it seems i dont even have sddm installed. is that the current windiw managet for kubuntu? [18:17] ok, with sddm installed i finally see the login screen, but i cannot login [18:18] which packages do i need to reinstall? kind of weird that they just disappeared... === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [19:49] is there a way to tell kubuntu/dolphin to use kB/MB/GB instead of KiB/MiB/GiB? [19:54] it also seems against the ubuntu policies: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy#Correct_basis [19:59] https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=91972 maybe? [20:07] hi all just installed this realy great looking distro but theres one little thing i need help in, and its called kwallet === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [20:26] Why is the default portrait diffrent in login screen and lock screen? [20:45] how does this work, we join and all stay silent? [20:45] kde_user: usually you ask a question that someone has a chance of answering [20:46] ah ok thanks, i asked one so ill wait a bit more [20:47] for example, a bad question would look like this "I need help! Anyone there to help?!?". A good question would be something like "I tried x,y and z but im not sure why x isn't working. Is there anything else i can try ect?" [20:47] kde_user: I saw your question. It wasn't a question. looked more like a statement. You need help with KWallet... Good for you? [20:47] What do you need help with? :) [20:48] i was trying not to sound stupid (fail!) [20:48] aotea, I tried to check there, but 15.10 doesn't seem to have that option [20:48] kde_user: There are no stupid question :) [20:48] *questions [20:49] kde_user: So whats your issue with Kwallet? [20:51] i installed kubuntu 15.10 fired up my kmail and kwallet popped up i gave it a password and on reboot it asked for the password but i get system failure -9 and cant sign in to kwallet [20:52] kde_user: Ouch. That does sound nasty. And its the same password you used the first time right? [20:52] yes [20:54] kde_user: I tried to google if i could find an error like that relating to kwallet but there is very little out there [20:55] thats my only gripe i cant find a tutorial or anything of that nature about kwallet [20:56] mystery wallet [20:56] kde_user: Well its usually pretty simple. Its stored password for you. Thats about it! [20:56] You could open the wallet manager and try to remove the stored password for KMail maybe? === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [20:58] i did that first then i did (mv kdewallet.kwl kdewallet.kwl.bak) and (mv kdewallet.salt kdewallet.salt.bak) [20:58] restarted fresh then same thing happenned again [21:01] kde_user, seems kwallet is buggy after the last upgrade .. you're the 3rd persoin to ask about kwallet errors since yesterday [21:02] uh oh [21:02] dunno if disabling kwallet helps tho [21:02] Nobody upgrade! :D [21:02] I don't use it myself , so i can't help much [21:03] i hope that gets fixed, its the most logical program to use on this sytem, and yes i disabled it [21:03] system* [21:05] kde you could check launchpad for filed bugs and perhaps a fix [21:05] kde_user,^ [21:06] if its a bug then i can wait until the fix gets out for everyone [21:06] anyway I'm done for the day........later [21:08] im out thanks for listening ;) [21:19] Anyone mind trying to open System Settings -> Displays & Monitors, then enter "Compositor" before heading back "Display Configuration" then hitting the back arrow to get into Overview [21:19] Tried it 6 times in a row and caught Segmentation faults everytime [21:26] i downloaded skype installation file from skype website and installed it to my laptop.When im tryng to run it , it loads a little time and disapears.when im tryng to uninstall skype it it wont uninstall.What a heck ?
