[01:25] Hi; Studio 16.04 , changed pauvcontrol from working but incorrect setting to 2.1 analog out and stereo in. Now pauvcontrol blinks and plays nothing and I cant change anything. [01:26] Any hints out there? I saw something about Nvidia but I'm still on the default nouvoue driver. [01:27] I don't think the video driver would affect that unless the output you are using is part of the video card. [01:28] Nope, me neither. Using an older audigy value card [01:30] I have not had trouble with pa that way. Normally, the easy way to start over is pulseaudio -k [01:30] Any command to reset the pulseaudio back to what it was set at or change the profile to the other stable but incorrect one? [01:30] you may need to start pavucontrol again after that and it will restart pa [01:31] I don't know where pa stores it's config. Let me see if I can find it. [01:31] john@john-Dimension-2400:~$ sudo pulseaudio -k [sudo] password for john: E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory john@john-Dimension-2400:~$ [01:32] you should not need (or want) to run pulseaudio as root [01:32] Funny, made this mistake in 14 LTS and it let me correct the profile no prob. In 16 seems to be very oicky [01:32] just pulseaudio -k should be fine [01:33] you can try rm -r ~/.config/pulse [01:34] but I think PA needs to be stopped while you do that [01:34] Tried -K now, no response from the system and pauv restarted is still blinking. [01:35] pusleaudio -k just stops pulse. As soon as the system figures out pulse is stopped it respawns. [01:35] Pauv was not running when the command was issued, just did it agian to be sure, no change [01:35] restarting pavucontrol after killing pulse will restart it too. [01:38] You may have to turn off pulse's respawn before you remove the .config/pulse directory or pulse may just recreate it the same way. [01:39] I use pulseaudio in an unconventional way, so it is harder for me try things. [01:40] In my case pulse does not see any audio devices and only sends audio to jack. [01:40] Whoo Hoo! Got it going now! -K command and then RM -R etc. Did it! [01:40] Cool [01:40] sounds great [01:41] No kidding! It does sound nice now. [01:41] Bowie "Heroes" to celebrate [01:41] Thanks so much! [01:42] no problem. [01:42] Over and out, got another PC that I did that to. [01:42] Whee, practice makes perfect [03:10] Hi all! Is there any easy way to uninstall one install of 16.04 and leave the other (which is running grub) alone? [03:11] The second one I want to delete has got this crazy ticking sound once a second a second and the other is perfect [03:12] So I want to leave the perfect one alone and get rid of the other. [03:16] studio-user409: So just 1.) format the partition the second one is on, and 2.) run "sudo update-grub" from the other. [03:24] Ok, stupid here. Looking at gparted, how do I tell which is which? [03:26] It looks like there may be more then one partition involed or is that my ignorance showing? [03:27] Doesn't Studio grab muliple partitions by default? [03:28] I've a nice multi OS going; MS XP, Vista, Win 7, 2 of Studio, Fedora and Suse [03:30] All running on an updated but obiously behing the time Del 24000 with upgraded processor and 500 MB drives [03:32] So right now I'm on the weird 16.04 studio that should go bbye [03:33] It ticks one a second and nothing stops it. Besides its taking up too much room [03:35] Is there a simple way of telling this 16.04 to erase itself? [03:39] Sorry, my bad, seems to be some instructions but not toattly relevant out there. Hugs and Kisses! [23:04] good time of day [23:05] anyone alive in here? [23:08] #channellist
