[01:25] <studio-user252> 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] <studio-user252> Any hints out there? I saw something about Nvidia but I'm still on the default nouvoue driver.
[01:27] <OvenWerks> I don't think the video driver would affect that unless the output you are using is part of the video card.
[01:28] <studio-user252> Nope, me neither. Using an older audigy value card
[01:30] <OvenWerks> I have not had trouble with pa that way. Normally, the easy way to start over is pulseaudio -k
[01:30] <studio-user252> 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] <OvenWerks> you may need to start pavucontrol again after that and it will restart pa
[01:31] <OvenWerks> I don't know where pa stores it's config. Let me see if I can find it.
[01:31] <studio-user252> 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] <OvenWerks> you should not need (or want) to run pulseaudio as root
[01:32] <studio-user252> 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] <OvenWerks>  just pulseaudio -k should be fine
[01:33] <OvenWerks> you can try rm -r ~/.config/pulse
[01:34] <OvenWerks> but I think PA needs to be stopped while you do that
[01:34] <studio-user252> Tried -K now, no response from the system and pauv restarted is still blinking.
[01:35] <OvenWerks> pusleaudio -k just stops pulse. As soon as the system figures out pulse is stopped it respawns.
[01:35] <studio-user252> Pauv was not running when the command was issued, just did it agian to be sure, no change
[01:35] <OvenWerks>  restarting pavucontrol after killing pulse will restart it too.
[01:38] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks>  I use pulseaudio in an unconventional way, so it is harder for me try things.
[01:40] <OvenWerks> In my case pulse does not see any audio devices and only sends audio to jack.
[01:40] <studio-user252> Whoo Hoo! Got it going now! -K command and then RM -R etc.  Did it!
[01:40] <OvenWerks> Cool
[01:40] <OvenWerks> sounds great
[01:41] <studio-user252> No kidding! It does sound nice now.
[01:41] <studio-user252> Bowie "Heroes" to celebrate
[01:41] <studio-user252> Thanks so much!
[01:42] <OvenWerks> no problem.
[01:42] <studio-user252> Over and out, got another PC that I did that to.
[01:42] <studio-user252> Whee, practice makes perfect
[03:10] <studio-user409> 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] <studio-user409> 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] <studio-user409> So I want to leave the perfect one alone and get rid of the other.
[03:16] <krytarik> studio-user409: So just 1.) format the partition the second one is on, and 2.) run "sudo update-grub" from the other.
[03:24] <studio-user409> Ok, stupid here.  Looking at gparted, how do I tell which is which?
[03:26] <studio-user409> It looks like there may be more then one partition involed or is that my ignorance showing?
[03:27] <studio-user409> Doesn't Studio grab muliple partitions by default?
[03:28] <studio-user409> I've a nice multi OS going; MS XP, Vista, Win 7, 2 of Studio, Fedora and Suse
[03:30] <studio-user409> All running on an updated but obiously behing the time Del 24000 with upgraded processor and 500 MB drives
[03:32] <studio-user409> So right now I'm on the weird 16.04 studio that should go bbye
[03:33] <studio-user409> It ticks one a second and nothing stops it. Besides its taking up too much room
[03:35] <studio-user409> Is there a simple way of telling this 16.04 to erase itself?
[03:39] <studio-user409> Sorry, my bad, seems to be some instructions but not toattly relevant out there. Hugs and Kisses!
[23:04] <Xenos_> good time of day
[23:05] <Xenos_> anyone alive in here?
