BluesKajHi folks11:48
HiPhishHello everyone, I hope this is the right place for my question. I am running Kubuntu 18.0414:29
HiPhishWhen I want to play MIDI sound and normal sound at the same time only one of the two work.14:30
HiPhishIt's like MIDI wants full control over the sound card, it does not even shop among the "Applications" in the Audio Volume widget14:30
hateballHiPhish: what application are you using to play?14:31
HiPhishI know that Timidity is handling coversion of MIDI to sound signals, but I haven't changed any configurations from the default.14:31
HiPhishhateball: aplaymidi for testing. My real use-case is that I want to play the new System Shock source port in Wine.14:32
hateballHiPhish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/21047214:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 210472 in timidity (Ubuntu) "Timidity daemon doesn't play nice with pulse audio" [Medium,Confirmed]14:32
HiPhishWhen I play System Shock I can only hear the music, but no sound effects. I thought initially that it's a Wine issue, but as I said, aplaymidi displays the same behaviour.14:32
hateballHiPhish: why would you need timidity for a wine port? weird14:33
HiPhishhateball: I don't know much about MIDI or Linux sound. All I know is that MIDI is not an actual audio file, but instructions for "instruments".14:34
hateballyea14:34
HiPhishThese instructions can be played back by a synthesizer, or a program that turns them into sound for a sound card.14:34
hateballseems weird the new version would use midi and not something like mp3 or vorbis is all14:35
hateballHiPhish: also, have you tried it through Proton in Steam?14:35
HiPhishAnd from what I understand, Timidity fulfills the latter role.14:35
hateballrather than wine+win-steam14:35
HiPhishI don't have Steam, I use the GOG version.14:35
hateballah14:35
HiPhishIf I manually start a Timidity process with `timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os &` and instruct aplaymidi to play on that one's port, then I can get both MIDI and normal audio to play.14:38
HiPhishhttps://askubuntu.com/a/82310114:39
HiPhishThis is why I believe that the problem is in the way Timidity is set up.14:39

MylonWhy does the touchpad utility not allow me to change tap actions?15:38
MylonThere's a drop down for two-finger tap, but it's greyed out?15:39
MylonAlright, I'm back.  Did I miss a reply?15:47
MylonHmm, can't use Discover to install something.  Can't obtain lock?15:49
BluesKajmaybe unattended upgrades running in the background, that will tie up your package manager15:51
BluesKajit normally runs right after login15:52
HiPhishMylon: I had a similar problem a few days ago. Discover displayed to me a command to type into the terminal which fixed it.16:03
HiPhishIIRC it showed as a sort of bezel for a short time, so it's easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. Try terminating Discover and then running update again, maybe it will show up.16:05
daumany ideas why groups MY_USER shows a number of groups, but just typing "groups" as my user only brings back the primary group of my user.  I've rebooted, and still the same.  If I sudo into my own user it properly shows the groups16:09
daumseems like this person had a similar issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/91jc80/help_when_opening_konsole_my_user_will_not_have/16:34

MylonHow do I change two-finger tap behavior on the touchpad?  In the touchpad gui, tap behaviors are grayed out.17:10
7GHAAKTUOHello, I just installed kubuntu 18.04 (came from mint 18) and for some reason, CTRL-INS in konsole is not working.. Since I continually use this, this is very anoying and I have no idea what other key it would be.. Where can I fix this issue, and have CTRL-INS copy to clipboard again?18:35

IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Will the Ryzen 7 2700X work out of the box with an up to date Kubuntu 18.04?18:38
moffaphoenixz: Under Profile > Edit Profile > Keyboard > Edit and you can customize your key commands18:43
phoenixzmoffa: yeah, I've been looking at that, but that appears to send special shell codes to the terminal, I dont see anything about copy/paste there18:55

MylonI'm trying to install bluetooth drivers following this guide ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluetooth/+bug/1189721/comments/286 ) and it gives me this error: cc1: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mod22:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1189721 in bluetooth "Ralink RT3290 doesn't have a bluetooth driver" [Medium,Confirmed]22:32
MylonAfter installing make, gcc, and libelf-dev... Still won't compile.22:33
MylonIs there a way to get my bluetooth working?  The error message suggests I have the wrong kernel, which sounds weird.22:35
