[00:01] Wonder if I can plug a flash drive into my phone's dongle, and download a bionic iso straight to that- the old laptop should be able to burn that [00:01] if i can get the file in it [00:05] hey, I'm trying to copy an initrd file from a VM over but it says file not found, despite ls showing it [00:05] if I do a ls -l, it shows a symlink but it's in red rather than my usual blue [00:06] does that mean it's linked to another unavailable file system? [00:06] mijk: yes, red means the link is dead [00:09] hmm, readlink -k isn't showing me where it thinks it's supposed ot be [00:11] firefox mobile won't let me pick where I want to save the enormous file === Snoopy is now known as Guest33975 [00:12] why would initrd be missing from the boot partition? [00:12] Why can't you download and burn from a shell ? [00:12] You got dd and wget right [00:13] Er not dd, growisofs [00:14] Wayward_Vagabond! [00:16] is it ok to chmod +w an existing partition from live cd? [00:17] a partition? no, you should be doing that to a filesystem [00:17] i need somewhere to put the new lts but have to use live iso [00:18] ubone: based solely on your question ... it is not possible to chmod a partition [00:19] k input was low, i have /dev/sda3 ie /home/ mounted to /mnt/ [00:20] but don't have write perms [00:20] drwxr-xr-x 6 root root [00:22] ubone: what folder path are you trying to write to? [00:23] mnt/ [00:23] my otherwise home dir [00:23] ubone: that doesn't make any sense [00:24] what doesnt [00:24] Are you root ? [00:25] i guess so [00:25] If you were, you'd have write perms [00:25] idk im in the live cd [00:26] maybe i should start transmission with sudo? [00:26] ubone: no === yunhao94_ is now known as yunhao94 [00:28] ubone: what is the first directory you see when you run "ls -l /mnt" [00:29] the content of my otherwise /home/ [00:29] so, users' dirs [00:30] ubone: then what you are looking to do is save the file to your desired user's folder ... be that /mnt/home/{user}/save_here or /mnt/{user}/save_here [00:31] yes [00:32] if you can't write there... then use "sudo mkdir /mnt/{user}/livecd_download && sudo chmod +w /mnt/{user}/livecd_download" [00:32] then set that folder in transmission as your download [00:36] i did sudo chmod 666 and 644 /mnt/ [00:36] did i destroy the partition ;_; [00:36] ubone: I'm done helping... you're not following what I said [00:36] lol [00:37] i did those a minute or two before you posted [00:38] 755 [00:38] ubone: you're being presumptuous and I already said don't do what you just did. so I'm done... good luck [00:39] k thx [01:16] why would you be downloading stuff via transmission in a LiveCD env? lol [01:16] end users do strange things [01:17] :) I can think of a couple of reasons, but the live env isn't going to help with most haha [01:17] and have even stranger logic behind their justification of those things [01:17] yep [01:18] deleted a bunch of ..images and made enough room for a xubuntu iso [01:19] somehow, the 14.04 install had drivers for muh phone and copied the iso out [01:19] live dvd burning... [01:19] congrats [01:21] why is nothing ever simple? :| [01:22] because the universe wants to make people hardened and tough [01:23] like steel put through the fire [01:23] * Wayward_Vagabond has been made brittle by poor tempering [01:24] k, clean install time [01:25] is a btfrs boot partition a stable feature now? [01:25] *btfs [01:25] why would you want btrfs as your boot partition's filesystem? [01:26] if you want efi, then no [01:26] it's not a critical partition performance wise, for one thing, you want the most stable, well-tested, filesystem for it. That (among other reasons) is why ext2 is often used. [01:26] that is one of the other reasons, ecormier :) [01:26] Wayward_Vagabond: you seem to be very interested in making things more difficult for yourself :) [01:27] I turned efi off [01:27] already [01:28] Wayward_Vagabond: you should probably let the installer do it's defaults/auto pilot [01:28] there is not a good reason, afaik, to use btrfs as your boot partition. [01:28] lowers potential of human error [01:28] s/as/on/ [01:29] ext4 it is, and punhing in my mount points into it [02:08] is there an update to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto that works with 18.04? [02:12] FOr which part [02:13] I don't know about the server setup, but the client part looks good. Minicom and screen hasn't changed much in 30 years [02:13] client is not relevant to the equation [02:13] the server setup is the problem [02:13] obviously the upstart nonsense does not work [02:14] I got grub to dump log to serial, but getting getty to run is problematic [02:14] Probably better off using https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Working_with_the_serial_console [02:15] wil look into that, thanks [02:35] if I cat a file and i get 5 things but I want to change the order how can I do that? I want the 3rd line to be the first line and the rest of the lines to be in the original order [02:36] basically I want to move the first line to the top of the list. is there a command I can pipe the cat output into? [02:38] There is a few ways but none of them are easy [02:39] How would you do it? [02:40] with sed, using regular expressions [02:40] Or with awk === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [03:30] is there a FAQ for netplan somewhere that says how to do things that we all used to do in one line with ifupdown and ifconfig? [03:33] !netplan | tonsofpcs can this help? [03:33] tonsofpcs can this help?: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/ [03:41] lotuspsychje: no, not really. I'm looking for "set an IP address, netmask, gateway, dns server, and default route" "release/renew dhcp" "disable an interface" "enable an interface", etc. [03:41] or "you used to do ifup eth0, now do X" [03:43] even a simple manpage would be helpful with commands, syntax, and typical usage examples [03:44] tonsofpcs: are you on desktop or server [03:45] tonsofpcs: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html.en [03:49] lotuspsychje: yes! is that avaialble in manpage format? Was really frustrated trying to set up a freshly spun up machine without a web browser near by (and obviously the one on the machine wouldn't work because I didn't have its networking set up) [03:52] tonsofpcs: you want me to copy paste it in query? [03:53] tonsofpcs: as its a wiki; its not like that in a manpage [03:53] lotuspsychje: no, I want it usable on systems without having to go find a web browser and search blindly for information. [03:55] tonsofpcs: netplan & ip has a manpage.. === Dreaman is now known as BgLamersTeam [03:57] damnit, where was that e-mail address that I'm supposed to write to if netplan is really a serious issue for me? [03:57] or does that just go to you? [03:59] tonsofpcs: evolution means ubuntu will use new ways/packages, its not because you have issues canonical gonna change that [03:59] tonsofpcs: if you find a !bug please file it [04:00] lotuspsychje: I get this but there was somewhere (an output of netplan or ifconfig perhaps?) that said to e-mail somewhere specific if it was a major issue. And it is. [04:01] I'm not saying netplan itself is an issue but a lack of reasonable documentation on a shipping system is. [04:02] tonsofpcs: i pointed you to the network config wiki, netplan and ip manpage..read a bit ok :p [04:18] hi guys, how to upgrade ubuntu to the latest version? [04:18] via command line [04:18] i'm on 16.04 LTS [04:18] anyone? [04:19] hello? [04:23] hulio: Once the system is fully updated run ' sudo do-release-upgrade ' . [04:26] how do I add a format other than english based ones in the settings -> region & language? [04:55] hulio: https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-linux-18-04/ === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:05] Heya! So in the past, I would be able to shutdown my WM by using "service lightdm stop" and then start. I'm using 18.04 now - what is my WM name? How can I find that out? [05:06] or in the past i'd use GDM stop [05:12] How do I kill my xserver? [05:12] how do I find out what xserver I am currently using? [05:13] JPSman, the new equiv to "service lightdm stop" would be "systemctl stop lightdm.service" [05:14] JPSman: try "ps aux | grep dm" and see if if says lightdm or gdm [05:15] JPSman, I suspect 'systemctl stop graphical-session.target' would be the higher-level way [05:17] looks like /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session is running, thanks EriC^^ [05:18] rfm, with any luck, i'll be leaving right now because my DM will be shutting down :) [05:19] rfm, nope :( [05:20] rfm, I just tried systemctl stop graphical.target [05:20] and I'm still here :( [05:20] JPSman: "dpkg -l xorg" should give the version [05:20] JPSman: if you want to stop the window manager, use sudo service stop" [05:22] EriC^^, just did "service gdm stop" and I'm still here --- and just did "service lightdm stop" and still here [05:22] JPSman: what did "sudo service gdm stop" report back? [05:23] JPSman, yeah stopping the .target didn't do what I thought. "systemctl stop lightdm.service" booted me back to console, but then I'm on xubuntu 18.04 [05:24] JPSman, since you seem to be using gdm, the equiv would be "systemctl stop gdm.service" [05:24] EriC^^, just ran 'service gdm stop' - as root- and i'm still here [05:25] just ran systemctl stop gdm.service and still typing lol [05:25] so, I have gnome flashback if that helps [05:26] JPSman: what error did it give though? [05:26] no error, nadda [05:29] JPSman: you're not answering our questions [05:29] what errors does it give after you type the command? [05:29] there are no errors after I type the commands [05:30] there is nothing that happens [05:30] well that's odd [05:30] what does 'systemctl status gdm' give? [05:30] JPSman, well, I'm baffled. "sudo pkill Xorg" to kill the session, then ctl-alt-F1 to get a console session and shutdown from there... [05:34] YAY! "pkill Xorg" worked!! [05:34] thanks rfm [05:35] I was able to start up my session again with "service gdm start" [05:35] this is exaclty what I was looking for [05:35] so thanks guys [06:02] I am connecting to remote xubuntu server, but the keyboard layout is differnt, when type "p", it shows "x", any idea how i change keyboard layout ?

[07:00] Strange issue with Xubuntu whiskermenu (the task-bar application menu). Starting a default terminal, the window appears and disappears (program closes) within 1/2 second. It executes it via "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator". If however I use Alt+F2 (Run) and type that command it works fine. Due to GUI struggling to think how to further debug this [07:06] TJ-: anything in ~/.xsession-errors? (wild guess) === nisankh is now known as Guest16588 [07:10] <_alx_> how exactly do permissions work? if I have a file that has the owner www-data and groupname of www-data, and permissions as rwxr-xr-x (755) it's layed out as (7 = owner can read write and execute), (first 5 = users in the group can read and execute), (last 5, any user on the machine can read and execute? ) [07:13] yes [07:14] <_alx_> jluc: is there any reason at all to have files with 777? I can't think of any [07:19] could someone help me troubleshoot my wifi connection issues? I have copied some of my diagnostics to https://ghostbin.com/paste/ev38o if anyone would be interested to assist me [07:19] let me know if you need more help [07:20] _alx_: to allow anyone full permissions, if you need to [07:20] <_alx_> ducasse: I don't need to. Does the base system need to? Do you know? [07:21] hello. yesterday i upgraded to ubuntu 18.04. how when i hibernate my laptop, it seems to do the hibernation part as it should but when i wake up it acts like a boot after a shutdown and i have to login again, programs being closed. what do? [07:21] <_alx_> eraserpencil: I know little about the wifi drivers for ubuntu, sorry bud [07:21] _alx_: i kind of doubt there are many (if any) world-writable files in a default install, but that doesn't mean a user might not need to set those permissions [07:23] poirotti, is your issue the login part or is it something else? [07:24] <_alx_> ducasse: i'm the only user, i'd like to restrict sudoers too but that's an issue for another day. [07:24] ducasse: xsession-errors, nothing related I could see. It's weird, this started on a single 18.04 after a regular package upgrade, but this only affects that single application shortcut, no others I've found so far [07:24] _alx_ that's very much fine. thanks [07:25] ducasse: I suppose I should wrap /usr/bin/exo-open in a shell script that captures debug info [07:25] TJ-: that's probably worthwhile [07:26] <_alx_> ducasse: thanks for the info, do you know if this is documented anywhere? I'm going to look around/start a new vm and check too. [07:27] eraserpencil: before yesterday i shouldn't have had to log in after a hibernation. instead, it booted right where i was before hibernating. so now the hibernation seems to work like shutdown which really makes no sense to me. the login part was only part of diagnosing that the computer had shut down instead of hibernating [07:28] suspend seems to work fine but i'd like to use hibernate [07:28] _alx_: i don't think so, but you can check with 'find' [07:29] <_alx_> ducasse: yup! with the perm flag :) thanks [07:30] <_alx_> find / -perm 0777 or you can add a type if you're just interested in folder of files [07:32] ducasse: oh...my... duh! in the application shortcut GUI editor the option "Run in terminal" was checked... which somehow causes the command passed through to be "--launch TerminalEmulator exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator" which causes exo-open to report its help info and exit. The terminal I was seeing was the one caused by "run in terminal" :D [07:34] TJ-: lol [07:34] hello [07:34] * TJ- must stop ticking random check-boxes [07:34] do you know of a whatsapp client for linux ? [07:36] Has anyone here configured systemd-networkd for Wireguard server-side? I've been looking for an example of the .netdev/.network files - found some for the client side but there are subtle differences for server-side [07:42] sorry poirotti... nuances of hibernate and suspend and troubleshooting it seems beyond my skillset [07:43] jil if you have alot of sufficient ram, Rambox or WaveBox or franz might be what you're looking for [07:46] eraserpencil: basically suspend saves the state spends some electricity (computer still on) and boots faster. hibernate spends zero energy, saves the computer state on hard disk, shuts down the power and boots a little slower. neither one of these should close apps or log out afaik [07:49] shouldn't be the swap space either since free -m tells i'm using 2,4G and swap size is 8G. [07:50] jil: why not just use web.whatsapp in a browser window? [07:50] Poirotti: check the kernel log from the first startup after hibernation, there may/should be clues there. That, or syslog, to begin with [07:52] Poirotti: the other possibility is that if the system was set to do S3 Sleep + Hibernate, the battery died before the hibernation managed to write out all of RAM to swap [07:53] Poirotti: because I don't have a compatible mobile phone. It's a chance aleardy that I tolerate having a fixed phone, fixed on me. [07:54] eraserpencil ? rambox? WaveBox ? franz I heard about it. I'm checking thank you [07:55] TJ- thanks for the tips. now that i look at those logs, it could be something with tlp. i also remember that the tlp config changed somehow when i upgraded. empty battery is not a possibility [07:56] Poirotti: "tlp" ? [07:57] it's a power manager for laptops [08:07] so I have an interesting challenge for anyone up to it. I have a gnome Ubuntu 16.04 whose login page seems fine and all. The thing is, I cant have any signs of life when I log in to my main account. Not even tty1. Other users seem pretty fine though. I dont know where to start with troubleshooting this. is it a simple "apt-get install -reinstall ubuntu-desktop" fix ? or is it something deeper? [08:07] i cant remember anything i could have done to affect the x server [08:13] eraserpencil: so you haven't messed around with desktop environments? [08:15] definitely not [08:16] I partitioned an external disk though... dont think my partition table got corrupted. else I wouldnt be able to log into any other users or loginto my main user from other users [08:18] I think I'll be going for yowsup. [08:18] https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup [08:21] eraserpencil: at least in the login screen ctrl + alt + f1 should give you a terminal and you could check .bashrc, .bash_profile and .xinitrc if there's some things that mess your startx. sometimes when i've messed around with desktop environments i've commented something out and left it like that and then startx failed. or something like that :) [08:26] bingo [08:26] i dont have a bashrc [08:31] thanks [08:31] great! === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [09:21] cant install bzr on bionic for some reason [09:25] oh i just had to restart [09:25] lol [09:28] hi - how come there have been no 18.10 beta .isos out yet ?

[10:11] i don't have hidpi so don't know first hand... i recall mention that unity 7 on 16.04 was better than gnome on 17.10, but I could also be wrong and don't know of 18.04 [10:12] there was a joint gnome effort involving red hat & canonical to improve gnome which was before 18.04 - recall reading about it, but as it doesn't affect me I didn't remember much - so it's likely 18.04 is better [10:13] mjayk: do you have ubuntu AND hidpi monitor right now? [10:13] hmm kk doesnt sound good. [10:13] FortKnight, No I don't. I don't want to waste my time installing the wrong distro if it doesn't support my hardware [10:14] I have a high DPI monitor [10:14] mjayk, ubuntu has some of the best support for hardware - which is why I mentioned desktops! [10:14] guiverc_w, OK thanks, I just need to know if ubuntu, not any of the flavours, supports my hardware. Thanks for your help. [10:15] Can you somehow get natural scrolling supported in 16.04 LTS? [10:15] the high dpi effort for gnome was jointly done by Canonical (behind Ubuntu) - so it's in the lead for gnome (along with fedora) [10:15] OK, but does it work? [10:16] It being supported is all I am really interested in [10:18] mjayk, my gnome-shell version is 3.30; so my Ubuntu is the latest currently available... - you're talking distros & ignoring that a distro is based on software... gnome 3.30 has the best support for any gnome version (i am using 18.10 btw; so support also depends on version!) [10:18] ducasse: cheers - although I don't support support on 18.10 - jusrt wondering why there are no RC/Beta isos out yert ? [10:18] I mean I *don't need support* [10:20] guiverc_w, best support is not support that is an opinion. Please if you don't know or the answer is its not fully supported just say so. [10:23] my statement was that hidpi support in gnome has been improving; the greatest amount of hidpi support in gnome is in 3.30, which I'm using on ubuntu now. i never said gnome had the best support for hi dpi (sorry if you misread it that way), support varies; I like XFCE myself which has none; MATE is where I'd be probably if i had hi-dpi & ubuntu-mate is possibly the best mate for hi-dpi in my opinion (as work was done [10:23] by ubuntu-mate coders & pushed upstream) - back to my desktop choice matters first comment [10:24] guiverc_w, As i said I am not interested in the flavours, I am interested in ubuntu stock. But thanks for your opinion. [10:26] Is possible to bind systemd-resolver to all interfaces, instead of 127.0.0.1 ? [10:26] save your breath on that one [10:30] Is there a way to reload dbus policies without restarting dbus daemon ? [10:32] reboot the pc [10:32] 'Morning folks [10:36] FortKnight: not an option for me. Anyways it also restarts dbus :) [10:41] guys have you tried [10:42] sudo apt-get install anarchism [10:42] I really like that package [10:44] MicrosoftWindows, stop trolling please [10:49] x [11:01] Hey EriC^^ [11:06] Hello. I have distorted sound on headphones (good sound on HDMI) with ubuntu 18.04. My soundcard is ALC891. What can I do? [11:07] faLUCE, did you try turning headphone volume down a bit in alsamixer? [11:08] hey BluesKaj [11:11] hey BluesKaj [11:14] BluesKaj: it did not solve. more precisely, the sound i very LOW and distorted [11:14] (is) [11:15] faLUCE, ok , if you have pavucontrol installed then check the volume setting there too [11:17] How do I get this rsync command to exclude more than one file name? rsync -av --exclude '*ch02.png' /source/dir /destination/dir [11:17] I tried this but it didn't work: rsync -av --exclude '*ch02.png *ch03.png' /source/dir /destination/dir [11:18] BluesKaj: the settings seem coorrect in pavuctrl too [11:18] BluesKaj: what should I check in pavuctrl more precisely? [11:22] zetheroo: use several --exclude's [11:23] EriC^^: ah ok - Thanks! [11:23] faLUCE, the output device volume ctrl [11:23] BluesKaj: the volume is ok [11:24] less than 100% ? [11:24] BluesKaj: no [11:25] faLUCE, then it might be overloading [11:25] ? [11:26] over 100% may be too much for your headphones [11:26] it's not over 100%. It's 100% [11:28] try 80% [11:29] peaks will put the levels over 100% at times [11:29] BluesKaj: same issue [11:29] faLUCE, is this a laprop? [11:29] ttop [11:30] BluesKaj: yes [11:31] maybe the connector or cable to the 'phones is faulty [11:31] BluesKaj: how can I check that? [11:32] a different set of headphones [11:33] BluesKaj: I tried the headphones on another device and they work [11:34] no distortion, if so then it's probly your connector [11:34] I have to be sure of that... because in this case I have to change the mobo [11:34] and I don't know how to check that [11:35] maybe I should try another distro/OS on an usb drive [11:35] no. it could be a bad solder joint [11:36] sure [11:36] BluesKaj: I understand that, but in order to be sure that it's something like that I have to try another distro [11:37] if you have one installed [11:37] ?? [11:37] another OS [11:37] BluesKaj: yes. but which one? [11:38] I don't understand if I can try windows on usb without installing it [11:38] faLUCE, choose one that's media friendly, dejfinitely not fedora [11:38] ok try windows if it's already installed [11:39] BluesKaj: I don't have windows [11:43] BluesKaj: in addition, windows require installation. I can't try it on usb [11:46] ok fine, try windows [11:47] BluesKaj: I CAN'T try windows... it needs to be installed [11:48] on usb [11:49] faLUCE, https://lifehacker.com/how-to-run-a-portable-version-of-windows-from-a-usb-dri-1565509124 [11:51] BluesKaj: not good. it requires to install wintousb, which doesn't work on linux [11:52] Poirotti: faLUCE I'd suspect the HDA codec first (the ALC) - sometimes the pin-outs in the chip aren't known to Linux and so it causes problems [11:52] faLUCE: I'd suspect the headphone port is getting amplified when it shouldn't be, which would explain distortion. Does the PC have other sound output ports, like "Line Out" and "Speakers" ? [11:53] TJ-: how can I check that? [11:53] TJ-: sorry [11:53] faLUCE, the point is the OS doesn't matter , it's the p[hysical connection your laptop that might be fualty [11:53] no, it has only mic and headphones connector [11:54] BluesKaj: I see that, but I want to be sure of that before giving back the faulty mobo to the vendor [11:54] TJ-: no, it has only mic and headphones connectorS (two connectors) [11:55] get another set of headphones from a friend or relative and try them on your laptop first [11:55] faLUCE,^ [11:58] BluesKaj: as said before the headphones DO work... [11:58] I tried them on other devices [11:59] did you try a speaker system on that connection, that would be the next step [12:00] pc speakers [12:04] I used to run a set of pc speakers off the headphone connection on my laptop, and they worked graet [12:04] BluesKaj: with another pair of headphones the result is the same [12:04] I don't have speakers [12:08] . [12:09] Hello, i am a novice using ubuntu and would like some help in using AppArmor is this the right place to ask? [12:12] faLUCE, do you bluetooth turned on ? [12:12] have [12:12] BluesKaj: it's off [12:18] faLUCE, could you pastebin your alsamixer settings please [12:20] BluesKaj: where can I upload the image of the settings? [12:21] FYI: i had the problem with hibernation not resuming correctly. the problem was that grub didn't know (anymore after upgrade) about the swap where it should resume. so i just had to tell both /etc/default/grub and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume about the id of my swap partition (sudo blkid tells the UUID). actually this was quite a basic problem but i had the wrong keywords in google. the [12:21] keywords were definitely "hibernate resume" :) === dbugger_ is now known as Dbugger [12:25] BluesKaj: http://it.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=25an22r&s=9 [12:28] faLUCE, try muting all your spdif outs except one [12:29] use the M key [12:30] BluesKaj: M key in alasmixer? I tried it but it doesn't mute anything [12:31] it should show M in the box [12:32] BluesKaj: I don't see M in the box [12:33] does someone know i you can tell consul agent to only speak with the agent in the same network? [12:33] BluesKaj: seen it. let me try [12:33] you have to navigate with the arrow keys to the ctrl [12:34] faLUCE,^ [12:34] BluesKaj: the problem remains [12:34] try muting all the spdif ctrls [12:36] nwe: Could you be more specific, what console agent ? [12:37] faLUCE: have you rebooted your computer? i've had buzz sometimes and booting helped. just saying :) [12:37] it's distortion ,. not a buzz [12:37] well, buzzing sound anyway [12:38] pragmaticenigma: consul* sorry :D [12:38] what i had was some kind of electric distortion yes. sounds a little bit like a horrible fuzz pedal with fuzz going to eleven [12:38] BluesKaj: do you mean to mute ALL the spdif or ALL excepts one? [12:38] mute all of them [12:39] BluesKaj: donew [12:39] BluesKaj: now? [12:39] try the headphones [12:40] BluesKaj: should the master be muted too? [12:40] nwe: If you are referring to the application "consul" then say as much. Otherwise someone, like myself, is going to assume you had a typo. For assistance specific to the application, your best bet is to seek out a forum of other users for help. [12:40] or do you mean "master not muted and all the spdif muted" ? [12:40] nwe: "other users" meaning users of that application [12:40] faLUCE, no [12:40] I have setup consul, I have 3-servers ( on vlan10) and my QA-env1 is on vlan10 (with consul-clients) and QA-env2 is on vlan20) and it works the problem is that the clients on vlan10 and vlan20 try to speak with each other. [12:41] pragmaticenigma: okey . [12:41] BluesKaj: well, I have: "master not muted and all the spdifs muted". But the problem remains [12:41] hardware issue? [12:41] and your laptop speakers don't distort , faLUCE ? [12:42] I have headphones, not speakers [12:42] and the headphones do distort [12:42] faLUCE, your laptop has small speakers , most do [12:43] BluesKaj: this is my mobo https://www.gigabyte.com/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BPCE-3350C-rev-10#ov [12:43] unplug the headphones and try the speakers [12:44] it doesn't have speakers [12:45] tht 's not a laptop [12:45] BluesKaj: sorry [12:46] uar you sure yoiu're using the headphone output and not mic connection [12:46] BluesKaj: it's the green connector [12:47] move the box to another location, getting noise from something near it? [12:47] BluesKaj: when I touch the unbplugged audio cable it's hot [12:48] let me try another test. be back soon [12:49] m_i_k_e, it's not noise, it's distortion of the actual sound [12:50] ah... yeah, that's weird. hardware issue could cause it too. is it new? [12:50] I', here [12:50] I'm, here [12:51] there may be a low voltage electrical short on your audio output connector [12:52] how to check that? [12:52] hello [12:53] faLUCE, best to bring it to the vendor ...if it's still under warranty they shoiuld check and fix that for free [12:53] BluesKaj: it will require time :-( [12:53] well, seems faulty to me [12:55]
