[11:49] <LinuxBoi10k> Hi there! Is here someone able and willing to help me with a Xubuntu ALSA/PulseAudio problem ?
[11:58] <knome> LinuxBoi10k, ask the question and find out
[11:59] <LinuxBoi10k> thx. will try ...
[12:00] <LinuxBoi10k> i switch my little Asrock AIO PC from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS. All went fine except i cant choose the SP/DIF Toslink as an audio output device.
[12:01] <LinuxBoi10k> checking in the alsa pcm file the digital output is still there. but PulseAudio does not seem to let me choose this as output device
[12:01] <LinuxBoi10k> now where do i have to look onto ?
[12:04] <LinuxBoi10k> PS: My box has an build in Nvidia Chip, so the first device PulseAudio offers is HDMI and the secjond is the Realtek ALC889A Analog output.
[12:04] <LinuxBoi10k> But what i want is the realtek Digital output (TOSLINK),but its not available to pick from
[12:06] <LinuxBoi10k> in 14.04 LTS all worked out of the box
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> cat of my /proc/asound/pcm device list:
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> -----------------------------------------------------------------
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> 00-00: ALC889A Analog : ALC889A Analog : playback 1 : capture 1  <--- This one is available in "Sound settings" Panel-Applet
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> 00-01: ALC889A Digital : ALC889A Digital : playback 1		<--- This one is missing !!!!
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> 00-02: ALC889A Alt Analog : ALC889A Alt Analog : capture 2
[12:11] <LinuxBoi10k> 01-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1				<--- This one is available in "Sound settings" Panel-Applet
[12:28] <LinuxBoi10k> (SOLVED) OK Guys. As most of the time the Problem exists between chair and keyboard. I overlooked the configuration tab in the Sound Settings. Thee you can assign 2 output devices (in my case). There i can select the SPDIF output. As always sometimes you need to tell your problem to someone in order to get the grey cells working.
[12:31] <LinuxBoi10k> bye
[13:12] <nkz> Hey, can anyone recommend a timer/stopwatch app besides xfce4-timer-plugin?
[14:03] <geniek> Hi
[14:05] <geniek> Bye! I'm going to SpotChat
[14:06] <knome> whatever spotchat might be...
[21:05] <xubuntu00d> I am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to using a linux o.s. can someone please tell me if there is somewhere I can download official motherboard drivers for my release of Xubuntu?
[21:06] <xubuntu00d> I am currently using Gigabyte B250M-Gaming 5 motherboard.
[21:06] <knome> you don't need to download any drivers for your motherboard in linux in the majority of cases
[21:08] <xubuntu00d> I was only wondering because Xubuntu doesn't seem to be supporting all features of the motherboard?
[21:08] <knome> like what?
[21:09] <xubuntu00d> It doesn't seem to be seeing my M.2 slot for one?
[21:09] <knome> which xubuntu release are you using?
[21:10] <xubuntu00d> could you please tell me how to find this information? As I said I am relatively new to Linux!
[21:10] <knome> in a terminal, type "lsb_release -a" without the quotes and press enter
[21:11] <xubuntu00d> okay thankyou, please give me a few minutes to do so!
[21:11] <xubuntu00d> rodney@MyLinuxBox:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release:	16.04 Codename:	xenial
[21:14] <knome> as far as i know, it should be supported out of the box
[21:15] <xubuntu00d> Would the fact that it is being used as a windows o.s. drive preclude it from being shown?
[21:16] <knome> no, that shouldn't be the issue
[21:16] <xubuntu00d> Hmmmn?
[21:16] <knome> https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/ubuntu-16-04-xubuntu-16-04-and-the-samsung-950-pro-256g-m-2/ suggests you might need to change the SATA mode to legacy in BIOS for it to work
[21:18] <xubuntu00d> Well I can certainly tell you that it is not a Samsung 950 Pro, it is a Intel 512 GB drive.
[21:18] <knome> i understand, but they are both M.2
[21:20] <xubuntu00d> Ah okay, yes you are correct!
[21:26] <xubuntu00d> Thankyou for that, could you please tell me if there is a linux version of software that I can use to configure my graphics adapter specifically the l.e.d.s? It is an ASUS Geforce GTX 1050 T.I. 4 G.B. ?
[21:28] <xubuntu00d> I've already tried looking at the manufacturer website but I can't find any reference at all to Linux there!
[21:30] <knome> try going to settings manager -> software & updates -> tab additional drivers
[21:31] <xubuntu00d> Yes, I have already done this successfully, but it did not add any type of control interface for my card?
[21:31] <knome> what specifically do you want to control?
[21:32] <xubuntu00d> I know it may seem inconsequential but mainly a control mechanism for the L.E.D. s on the carsd!
[21:33] <knome> try running "nvidia-settings"
[21:33] <xubuntu00d> do you mean in terminal?
[21:34] <knome> or from the run command dialog (alt+f2)
[21:38] <xubuntu00d> I checked there and did not find anythiong to change the L.E.D.s color?
[21:39] <xubuntu00d> I know that in Windows it is a separate application that is downloaded with the drivers from support cd!
[21:40] <knome> nvidia-settings is a separate application provided by nvidia
[21:40] <knome> if you can't control it from there, then i'm not sure if you can
[21:41] <xubuntu00d> Under Windows it was something called AURA something or other?
[21:43] <knome> i have no idea of any windows software, sorry
[21:44] <xubuntu00d> Okay, well thankyou for all of your assistance.
[21:44] <knome> maybe this can help you: https://github.com/Madh93/nvidia-led
[21:45] <xubuntu00d> thanks again. I'll check out the link you sent.
[21:46] <knome> if you just want to assign a static brightness (eg. just turn it off), you might be able to do it with the instructions found from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/5behs5/how_to_disable_nvidia_gpu_led_lights_in_linux/
[21:46] <knome> with just nvidia-settings
[21:46] <knome> and running "nvidia-settings -q all" might help you get the option visible in the GUI too
[21:46] <knome> from https://askubuntu.com/questions/725459/how-to-turn-off-my-graphic-card-led-logo-gigabyte-nvidia-gtx970
[21:47] <knome> oh sorry, i misunderstood that
[21:47] <knome> that should LIST all of the options available for your GPU...
[23:35] <Shawn|i7-720QM> howdy
[23:37] <knome> hello
[23:38] <Shawn|i7-720QM> I installed xfce4 on ubuntu-server :O
[23:38] <knome> congrats? :P
[23:40] <pleia2> that's how I would do it before xubuntu came out
[23:40] <Shawn|i7-720QM> trying to get a gparted formatted drive to be writable
[23:45] <Shawn|i7-720QM> ah
[23:48] <Shawn|i7-720QM> why do I keep getting an error on c0d1?? http://prntscr.com/fvuz23
[23:48] <Shawn|i7-720QM> it wont let me write to it
[23:55] <Shawn|i7-720QM> is this why its not writable? http://prntscr.com/fvv1d7
[23:58] <knome> not having flags? nope...
[23:58] <Shawn|i7-720QM> oh
[23:58] <Shawn|i7-720QM> then why can't I write to it?
[23:58] <knome> i don't know; have you tried rebooting as suggested?
[23:59] <Shawn|i7-720QM> yes
