[12:59] <musician_pro> Hi wxl I see something about Jack
[12:59] <musician_pro> I want to thank you for your suggestions
[16:45] <wxl> musician_pro: i use jack a lot on lubuntu, so feel free to ask if you have questions. i'll point you in ubuntu studio's direction if you want to know about ardour tho :)
[16:47] <wxl> musician_pro: and by asking about jack on lubuntu, i mean ask me directly. i'm always on, but not always around, so make sure to highlight and i'll get back to you asap.
[16:58] <Lavinho> good afternoon
[16:59] <Lavinho> how to create menu firefox esr lubuntu
[16:59] <Lavinho> ?
[16:59] <wxl> Lavinho: i'm not sure i understand your question.
[17:00] <Lavinho> How to create menu in bar for firefox
[17:00] <Lavinho> firefox -esr
[17:00] <wxl> which bar?
[17:00] <Lavinho> menu button
[17:01] <wxl> firefox SHOULD automatically add one
[17:02] <Lavinho> firefox .tar.gz
[17:02] <wxl> you want to add a menu item to the tarball? that seems kind of pointless
[17:02] <Lavinho> yes
[17:03] <Lavinho> add menu item
[17:03] <wxl> well here's how to do it in general https://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu
[17:04] <wxl> this is lubuntu's documentation which is a little less verbose https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Windows#How_to_make.2Fadd_an_application_to_the_.22start.22_menu.
[17:08] <Lavinho> thank you
[17:14] <musician_pro> wxl, I understand. Actually I'm using Reaper, but I see right now Ardour it's a nice DAW to. I hope 1 day in the future I can use music software to collaborate and implement software and OS like ubuntu to get better usage for user. Actually almost all producer and developer doesn't care about this :(
[17:16] <wxl> musician_pro: it's true, except when you consider the cost and the ability to introduce new features. i'd rather pay a developer to introduce something i'm interested in than give a commercial developer a flat fee for them to do what they want (often not what *I* want)
[18:12] <Kiicki> Hi, how can I change the audio output? My PC has speakers and the audio is coming from it but I want the audio output to be from the TV which is connected to my PC via HDMI
[18:13] <wxl> Kiicki: just pick a different sound card in alsamixer. or you can get pavucontrol if you want it to be really easy.
[18:14] <Kiicki> I don't see any alternative for a different sound card in there. I have also tried to increase all the volumes and nothing
[18:14] <wxl> Kiicki: you tried hitting F6?
[18:15] <wxl> Kiicki: if that fails, you may want to try to look through all the channels and see if one is for HDMI output. mute the others.
[18:15] <Kiicki> Nothing happens
[18:15] <wxl> there is ALWAYS something that happeens with F6.
[18:16] <Kiicki> hmm, weird
[18:16] <wxl> even if there's no other sound card, it will at least show you the one sound card.
[18:16] <Kiicki> I do get sound from the PC though
[18:17] <wxl> unfortunately there's no consistency the to the way the information is displayed
[18:17] <wxl> gee, thanks manucturers
[18:18] <wxl> i might be able to help if i have the info from `aplay -l` and `amixer`
[18:19] <Kiicki> This is extremely weird. I have increased everything I can
[18:19] <wxl> you can pastebin it up somewhere
[18:19] <wxl> it also may be true (not sure) that you must select the HDMI *VIDEO* out in order for the audio to work
[18:20] <Kiicki> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24196655/
[18:20] <wxl> so look at aplay output first
[18:20] <wxl> see how there's two cards?
[18:21] <wxl> and it's card 1, the HDMI, that you need to use
[18:21] <Kiicki> Yeah, but I see no option to change sound card
[18:21] <Kiicki> that should be in the software itself?
[18:21] <wxl> F6 in alsamixer
[18:21] <wxl> they should be enumerated in the same way
[18:21] <wxl> so you want card 1
[18:22] <Kiicki> This is just weird because nothing happens when I press F6 in Alsa mixer
[18:23] <Kiicki> maybe they changed hotkey
[18:24] <wxl> it shows the hotkey while you're in alsamixer on the right
[18:25] <wxl> "s" may work too
[18:25] <wxl> you should be able to see a list of soundcards in /proc/asound/cards
[18:32] <Kiicki> It's just weird. I can understand that I need to change sound card and I can see that the PC sound card is what is on but there's no option to change it. I have increased/decreased everything, hit F6 and "S" and nothing
[18:33] <wxl> what does /proc/asound/cards show?
[18:34] <Kiicki> I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm really new to Linux
[19:02] <wxl> @Kiicki: in a terminal, do `cat /proc/asound/cards`
[19:05] <Kiicki> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24196906/
[19:05] <wxl> see? two cards
[19:06] <Kiicki> I get that. I'm not denying that I have two cards. I'm saying that I'm not able to change it
[19:06] <Kiicki> that I haven't*
[19:07] <wxl> you could do this but it's sort of hokey https://askubuntu.com/questions/167394/sound-card-selection#169741
[19:08] <Kiicki> This is just so weird. I find it really odd that you cannot change it that simple
[19:08] <wxl> you could also try installing pavucontrol
