| lordievader | Good morning | 07:47 |
|---|---|---|
| uiduser | hi everyone | 08:17 |
| uiduser | ... | 09:06 |
| uiduser | ... | 09:15 |
| uiduser | nobody chating.. | 09:15 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:11 |
| immu | hi | 13:56 |
| immu | does any know how to stop my microphone-inbuilt levels getting reduced automatically to lower levels | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | immu, it's probly to prevent feedback from your speakers if you have system sounds enabled at startup | 14:10 |
| immu | i don't want that to happ | 14:12 |
| immu | i want my microphone levels to stick to where i ask it to stick? | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | try increasing your mic level in alsamixer , escape , then sudo alsactl store | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | it may or may not work, depends which OS you're using atm | 14:15 |
| immu | i am on ubuntu 17.10 | 14:16 |
| immu | nothing works like it so good | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | that's what I like about debian, setings aren't hit ot miss or affected by soem other config file | 14:17 |
| immu | so you oon debian now? | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | atm yes | 14:18 |
| immu | and what about kubuntu? | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | still testing kubuntu 17.10 on another partition tho | 14:19 |
| immu | do u have a similar /partition? | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | i'll be switching back to it in a lttle while | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | what do you mean, similar? | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | it's on separate / and /home partitions | 14:22 |
| immu | so you have kept a seperate / for debian? and /home | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | yes, always separate / and /home, then you can reinstall to / if your system decomes ubrescuable and just set the moutpoint for you /home in the manual partitioning phase of the installation | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | unrescuable | 14:26 |
| immu | pl | 14:26 |
| immu | ok | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | that way yousave all your desktop setups and application config files, and even if you have to reinstall some apps, usually non default, the configs a re still there and require little setup if at all | 14:28 |
| immu | i have kept my / separate | 14:28 |
| immu | this time | 14:28 |
| immu | and rest is /home | 14:28 |
| immu | what about /boot? | 14:28 |
| immu | or its to late | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | I don't have a UEFI system it's bios | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | no need for boot on bios sytems anymore either | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | /boot | 14:29 |
| immu | !uefi | 14:30 |
| ubot5 | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:30 |
| immu | i ahev UEFI but set my bios to legacy | 14:30 |
| immu | i also have Windows on dual boot | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah I'm dual booting debain and kubuntu | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | debian | 14:32 |
| immu | how is debian ? | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | I like it a lot | 14:33 |
| immu | how old where you? | 14:34 |
| immu | BluesKaj, ? | 14:38 |
| immu | you are tempting me with debian | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | how old where you?...what do you mean? | 14:39 |
| immu | are you? autocorrect? | 14:43 |
| xangua | What old are you? | 14:45 |
| immu | ok what is your current age you can remember BluesKaj ? | 14:46 |
| xangua | I still hear people saying you need an engineer help to install Debian or something like that | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | xangua, never heard that | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | immu, are you asking me how old I am? That's irrelevant | 14:58 |
| xangua | Well people still say you need an "expert" help, that's the point | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | I'm not an expert but there are various ways to install debian including a GUI that gives you step by step guidance similar to the ubuntu s etc | 15:00 |
| immu | it helps me deal with a person based on its age | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | immu, you refer to people as "it" | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 15:02 |

| xangua | I remember my mother taught me English and then she forgot... Weird | 15:25 |
| immu | ok | 15:25 |
| immu | bless be our elders, moms and pops everywhere | 15:26 |
| uiduser | yeah | 15:27 |
| immu | uiduser, as long you can articulate what you mean i am cool | 15:28 |
| uiduser | im trying to tell ubuntu developer | 15:28 |
| uiduser | if they can add a checkbox which can turn off guest session in system preference | 15:29 |
| immu | uiduser, you want to remove guest access? | 15:30 |
| uiduser | all right, thanks | 15:30 |
| immu | ?eh? | 15:30 |
| uiduser | >> uiduser, as long you can articulate what you mean i am cool | 15:30 |
| uiduser | thanks for your encourage | 15:30 |
| uiduser | i know how to achieve that, by modifying a conf file | 15:31 |
| immu | cmd is also their | 15:31 |
| uiduser | but considering many ordinary users don't know that, it would be nice if there are a checkbox in user interface | 15:32 |
| immu | which ver of ubuntu are you using | 15:33 |
| uiduser | 16.04 | 15:33 |
| immu | LTS | 15:34 |
| uiduser | yeah | 15:34 |
| immu | many people for some reason love LTS releases, but i cannot bear to run a LTS release | 15:34 |
| uiduser | you always like to taste something new? | 15:35 |
| immu | its something, always want shiny and new in linux | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | LTS are good on production machines where the system requires stability and security | 15:36 |
| immu | yeah | 15:37 |
| immu | but Ubuntu is 6 months release so shouldn't be a issue | 15:37 |
| uiduser | yeah, im a designer and i need exactly something stable. don't want be bothered to fix computer | 15:37 |
| immu | good then as long you are happy :) mine is not production just easy sailing | 15:39 |
| uiduser | immu: so are you using Gnome now? | 15:40 |
| immu | yes i am on 17.10 daily builds and will move onto final release on Oct :) | 15:40 |
| uiduser | that's cool | 15:42 |
| immu | uiduser, I am using minimum extensions | 15:42 |
| immu | i had a hard time expecting the change from ubuntu to unity :) | 15:43 |
| immu | felt very sad and withdrawl syptoms | 15:43 |
| immu | then when on a distro hopping spreee ask BluesKaj | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | you mean unity to gnome | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | they are both ubuntu DEs | 15:44 |
| immu | yup | 15:44 |
| immu | sorry unity to gnome | 15:45 |
| uiduser | i like glass effects... gnome don't have that. and i can't get used to it's lunchmenu | 15:45 |
| uiduser | so am i | 15:45 |
| uiduser | i think gnome is suitable to touchscreen and mobile devices | 15:46 |
| immu | glass effects | 15:46 |
| uiduser | unity and win7 both have that | 15:46 |
| immu | you can use extension to bring the extension dock outsideand place it anywhere you want | 15:47 |
| immu | i keep it at bottom | 15:47 |
| uiduser | it may consume a little more battery but looks really good. | 15:47 |
| uiduser | im ok about the position, its nice to dock it to the left | 15:48 |
| immu | mine is always plugged in | 15:48 |
| immu | https://liquorix.net/#features | 15:48 |
| immu | !liquorix | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | I still prefer kde/plasma ...never cared for gnome, gnome shell, lxde, unity etc etc | 15:49 |
| uiduser | haha | 15:49 |
| immu | yes if you want KDE use Opensuse or Kubuntu or KDE neon | 15:49 |
| immu | but i find best implemntation of kde on Opensuse | 15:49 |
| uiduser | first time to hear liquorix... | 15:50 |
| immu | its a drop in kernel replacement it helps you scratch the ich for newer kernels | 15:51 |
| immu | safe and stable. and its built just like ubuntu does | 15:51 |
| uiduser | i will take a time to look at it later. | 15:52 |
| uiduser | sound nice | 15:52 |
| uiduser | sounds nice | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | bah opensuse... kde is so flexible, it's setings go way beyond the OS youre using. One OS doesn't do kde better than any other that I've experienced | 15:53 |
| uiduser | umm, which countries are you guys come from? if you would like to say that. | 15:54 |
| uiduser | i come from china | 15:54 |

| immu | nice to see the channel so alive with conversations | 16:03 |
| lordievader | Now that my desktop commited suicide it is time to try out for neon :) | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | not unix guy , linux became my hobby after retirement, I did use unix application programs in the 80s, but then we switched to dos , then W3.1 and W95 after that. I started with linux about 15 yrs ago, off and on til I finally adopted it full time in 2005 | 16:05 |
| lordievader | Something probably went wrong with the conversion to raid 0 | 16:05 |
| * DArqueBishop is an old rogue. | 16:05 | |
| DArqueBishop | Not as old as BluesKaj, but old. :-) | 16:05 |

| immu | you mean Neon KDE you mean BluesKaj | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | with it wasn't | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | Neon uses KDE immu | 16:08 |
| immu | yeah i know KDE BluesKaj | 16:09 |
