=== JanC_ is now known as JanC [07:47] Good morning [08:17] hi everyone [09:06] ... [09:15] ... [09:15] nobody chating.. [11:11] Hiyas all [13:56] hi [13:57] does any know how to stop my microphone-inbuilt levels getting reduced automatically to lower levels [14:10] immu, it's probly to prevent feedback from your speakers if you have system sounds enabled at startup [14:12] i don't want that to happ [14:12] i want my microphone levels to stick to where i ask it to stick? [14:14] try increasing your mic level in alsamixer , escape , then sudo alsactl store [14:15] it may or may not work, depends which OS you're using atm [14:16] i am on ubuntu 17.10 [14:16] nothing works like it so good [14:17] that's what I like about debian, setings aren't hit ot miss or affected by soem other config file [14:18] so you oon debian now? [14:18] atm yes [14:19] and what about kubuntu? [14:19] still testing kubuntu 17.10 on another partition tho [14:20] do u have a similar /partition? [14:20] i'll be switching back to it in a lttle while [14:20] what do you mean, similar? [14:22] it's on separate / and /home partitions [14:23] so you have kept a seperate / for debian? and /home [14:26] 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] unrescuable [14:26] pl [14:26] ok [14:28] 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] i have kept my / separate [14:28] this time [14:28] and rest is /home [14:28] what about /boot? [14:28] or its to late [14:29] I don't have a UEFI system it's bios [14:29] no need for boot on bios sytems anymore either [14:29] /boot [14:30] !uefi [14:30] 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] i ahev UEFI but set my bios to legacy [14:30] i also have Windows on dual boot [14:32] yeah I'm dual booting debain and kubuntu [14:32] debian [14:32] how is debian ? [14:33] I like it a lot [14:34] how old where you? [14:38] BluesKaj, ? [14:38] you are tempting me with debian [14:39] how old where you?...what do you mean? [14:43] are you? autocorrect? [14:45] What old are you? [14:46] ok what is your current age you can remember BluesKaj ? [14:46] I still hear people saying you need an engineer help to install Debian or something like that [14:55] xangua, never heard that [14:58] immu, are you asking me how old I am? That's irrelevant [14:59] Well people still say you need an "expert" help, that's the point [15:00] 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 [15:01] it helps me deal with a person based on its age [15:02] immu, you refer to people as "it" [15:02] ? [15:03] 7x7 [15:03] * oerheks is 49 [15:03] * xangua is 300 [15:04] marry me, next life! [15:04] This is Sparta! [15:05] Sparta is a famous dutch bicycle brand [15:06] All my bicycles were brand less... Or at least I don't remember [15:06] believe it or not I'm almost 74 yrs old [15:08] My grandma is 92 [15:09] She can use a smartphone to make calls [15:09] nice, does she use linux ? :-) [15:10] Well not GNU/Linux [15:10] bless be you both [15:10] it refer to the subject not object [15:10] ...

[15:14] someone in forums tells me i can post message to ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com [15:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers [15:15] google mail list ubuntu [15:15] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev ? [15:16] wait a second [15:16] http://lists.ubuntu.com/ [15:16] i have no idea what this public mail list mean [15:17] well, that is the whole list of possible groups you can mail, development is a huge list, choose one you think your subject belongs to [15:18] you can read, send, reply, participate etc uiduser [15:19] so it just a normal email address? [15:19] i thought it is something different before... XD [15:20] uiduser, choose ( click) one from https://lists.ubuntu.com/ and you can subscribe on the mailinglist [15:22] if i subscribe and leave my email to it, then i can receive some emails they broadcast? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:23] uiduser, jups, and depending on the list, it can be many :-D [15:24] what jups mean... [15:24] english is my second language [15:24] jups/yes [15:25] oh i see [15:25] thank you very much [15:25] I remember my mother taught me English and then she forgot... Weird [15:25] ok [15:26] bless be our elders, moms and pops everywhere [15:27] yeah [15:28] uiduser, as long you can articulate what you mean i am cool [15:28] im trying to tell ubuntu developer [15:29] if they can add a checkbox which can turn off guest session in system preference [15:30] uiduser, you want to remove guest access? [15:30] all right, thanks [15:30] ?eh? [15:30] >> uiduser, as long you can articulate what you mean i am cool [15:30] thanks for your encourage [15:31] i know how to achieve that, by modifying a conf file [15:31] cmd is also their [15:32] but considering many ordinary users don't know that, it would be nice if there are a checkbox in user interface [15:33] which ver of ubuntu are you using [15:33] 16.04 [15:34] LTS [15:34] yeah [15:34] many people for some reason love LTS releases, but i cannot bear to run a LTS release [15:35] you always like to taste something new? [15:36] its something, always want shiny and new in linux [15:36] LTS are good on production machines where the system requires stability and security [15:37] yeah [15:37] but Ubuntu is 6 months release so shouldn't be a issue [15:37] yeah, im a designer and i need exactly something stable. don't want be bothered to fix computer [15:39] good then as long you are happy :) mine is not production just easy sailing [15:40] immu: so are you using Gnome now? [15:40] yes i am on 17.10 daily builds and will move onto final release on Oct :) [15:42] that's cool [15:42] uiduser, I am using minimum extensions [15:43] i had a hard time expecting the change from ubuntu to unity :) [15:43] felt very sad and withdrawl syptoms [15:43] then when on a distro hopping spreee ask BluesKaj [15:43] you mean unity to gnome [15:44] they are both ubuntu DEs [15:44] yup [15:45] sorry unity to gnome [15:45] i like glass effects... gnome don't have that. and i can't get used to it's lunchmenu [15:45] so am i [15:46] i think gnome is suitable to touchscreen and mobile devices [15:46] glass effects [15:46] unity and win7 both have that [15:47] you can use extension to bring the extension dock outsideand place it anywhere you want [15:47] i keep it at bottom [15:47] it may consume a little more battery but looks really good. [15:48] im ok about the position, its nice to dock it to the left [15:48] mine is always plugged in [15:48] https://liquorix.net/#features [15:49] !liquorix [15:49] I still prefer kde/plasma ...never cared for gnome, gnome shell, lxde, unity etc etc [15:49] haha [15:49] yes if you want KDE use Opensuse or Kubuntu or KDE neon [15:49] but i find best implemntation of kde on Opensuse [15:50] first time to hear liquorix... [15:51] its a drop in kernel replacement it helps you scratch the ich for newer kernels [15:51] safe and stable. and its built just like ubuntu does [15:52] i will take a time to look at it later. [15:52] sound nice [15:52] sounds nice [15:53] 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 [15:54] umm, which countries are you guys come from? if you would like to say that. [15:54] i come from china [15:54] uiduser, you first :-) [15:54] sichuan province. [15:54] Canada here [15:54] Ontario [15:55] wow,go halfway around the globe [15:55] amazing internet. [15:55] yes it is [15:56] im a student majoring urban planning [15:56] (you don't have to say that if you dont want to) [15:57] UAE/AE , but Indian [15:57] (just self introduce) [15:57] cool [15:58] /me was born in Finland to Swedish parents and emigrated to Canada when I was just little [15:59] XD [15:59] right after WW2 [15:59] wow [16:00] double wow [16:01] im going to sleep now, its 0 clock here. [16:01] see you guys [16:01] UNIX folks tend to be old fogies. [16:02] :) [16:03] nice to see the channel so alive with conversations [16:04] Now that my desktop commited suicide it is time to try out for neon :) [16:05] 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] Something probably went wrong with the conversion to raid 0 [16:05] * DArqueBishop is an old rogue. [16:05] Not as old as BluesKaj, but old. :-) [16:06] s/rogue/fogie/ [16:06] lordievader, neon will help your desktop commit suicede more quickly :-) [16:06] how come BluesKaj lordievader [16:07] Last time I checked it it was quite stable. [16:07] lordievader, I hope so because my experience with wasn't [16:08] you mean Neon KDE you mean BluesKaj [16:08] with it wasn't [16:08] Neon uses KDE immu [16:09] yeah i know KDE BluesKaj [16:10] since i found it to be using LTS release i didn't touch it [16:11] kde is available on all'buntu releases, not just LTS [16:11] I use kde/plasma on 17.10 [16:12] aka kubuntu [16:18] yeah [16:18] brb [16:18] wife shopping [17:12] hayo GUIs [17:48] lback [17:48] back [17:51] back again :) [17:55] dinner time === JanC_ is now known as JanC [23:33] SlOw Saturday ..
