[07:18] <placebo> hi guys
[07:18] <placebo> can anyone help me with a sound issue?
[07:22] <placebo> I have a laptop (broken monitor) and just installed the latest version of Lubunu. I have it connected to a tv monitor via HDMI, although it plays sound through the laptop speakers
[07:22] <placebo> I am having trouble finding how to switch audio to hdmi output
[07:24] <hateball> placebo: install pavucontrol and use that
[07:28] <placebo> seems it is already installed and used in the distro
[07:28] <placebo> it only lists the built in speakers and headphones
[07:29] <placebo> unsure why i can't get sound through the hdmi, since I am currently using the monitor through hdmi
[07:32] <tsimonq2> placebo: You should be able to select the output device in pavucontrol
[07:34] <placebo> thank you, but Built in Audio Stereo is the only device showing
[07:34] <placebo> thank you for replying to my ignorance
[07:35] <placebo> I assumed it would be in the OUtput Devices tab, but hadn't seen the Configuration tab
[07:36] <placebo> end user error. thanks for your input, helped me see what i couldn't.
[07:38] <hateball> :)

[08:27] <murii> what does the -9 mean in: kill -9 PROCESS_ID ?
[08:28] <tsimonq2> murii: Not only kill the child but kill it's parents and it's whole family
[08:28] <tsimonq2> We're talking about processes, of course.
[08:29] <murii> ye..sure...
[08:29] <murii> ;)
[08:29] <murii> so what exactly does it do, tsimonq2 ?
[08:29] <tsimonq2> murii: That's... what it does.
[08:29] <murii> ok,thanks :)
[08:30] <tsimonq2> np :)
[09:06] <murii> if I want to copy a file from a server to mines I should do: scp /file user@inet:/path ?
[09:06] <murii> for @inet I use ip addr show to get the info
[09:34] <tsimonq2> yep
[11:25] <murii> nohup ./Application </dev/null &>/dev/null & what does the: </dev/null &>/dev/null part do?
[11:25] <murii> isn't that the part which should have been used for redirecting the output of the application ?
[13:59] <macaruchi> hi
[14:00] <macaruchi> There is a way to disable the USB ports using Lubuntu ?
[14:02] <hateball> yes
[14:03] <hateball> macaruchi: see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4702216/controlling-a-usb-power-supply-on-off-with-linux
[14:04] <macaruchi> thks
[14:04] <macaruchi> policykit doesnt work for Lubuntu ?
[16:29] <venzen> anyone aware of a PPA for latest kernel version for older releases? I'm running 16.04 on recent 7th gen AMD hardware. Kernel 4.5 drivers don't work with many devices such as touchpad, wifi and GPU - it would be useful to have an updating kernel repo rahther than manually downloading & installing every new kernel
[16:29] <wxl> venzen: try #ubuntu, you'll get a wider spread.
[16:30] <venzen> thanks wxl, true :)
[17:49] <User4795> Greetings! Just set up Pidgin, but it doesn't make a sound. How do I fix that?
[17:49] <User4795> It's a recent 17.04 installation, just a few hours old
[17:50] <wxl> are you sure sounds are working in general, User4795 ?
[17:51] <User4795> Yes, they do.
[17:53] <User4795> Welp, seems I fixed it by changing the sound player to aplay -q %s

[18:06] <wxl> oops wrong channel :)
