| Jj | Greetings fellow *ubuntu users, it's safe uninstalling "mugshot"? | 00:02 |

| JackFrost | Yeah, it's just for setting avatars and whatnot. | 00:03 |
| Jj | Thank you! | 00:03 |

| kubast2 | what could cause a "Scratchy" sound on an audio jack? | 14:23 |
| kubast2 | it happens at times when I open a new tab in firefox | 14:23 |
| kubast2 | I haven't had it happen on kubuntu, so I thought it is some pulseaudio unrelated issue | 14:23 |
| bodiccea | Only when you do this ? | 14:24 |
| kubast2 | yes it happens at random when I open a new tab and go to some site | 14:24 |
| kubast2 | it doesn't happen every time I use firefox | 14:24 |
| bodiccea | And only for firefox ? | 14:25 |
| kubast2 | I don't use other browsers and no it doesn't happen with mpv or vlc | 14:25 |
| kubast2 | nor with some unrelated irc action | 14:25 |
| bodiccea | Strange. Do you have a plugin which tries to make a sound when opening a new tab ? | 14:28 |
| kubast2 | nope I just have the openh264 plugin that's about it | 14:29 |
| kubast2 | and I doubt ublock origin extension does something like this | 14:29 |
| diogenes_ | bodiccea, are you the queen of celts? | 14:30 |
| bodiccea | Hum. strange. Firefox does not access audio normally when opening a new tab. You may try restarting in safe mode, just for a quick test | 14:31 |
| bodiccea | diogenes_: Queen of the Iceni ;-) | 14:31 |
| diogenes_ | i knew that :) | 14:32 |
| diogenes_ | what if you try a different browser to see if you get the same behaviour | 14:33 |
| kubast2 | Yeah I will see | 14:33 |
| bodiccea | To restart FF in safe mode (temporarily) go to the right menu (the 3 horizontal lines icon), then "help", then "restart with addons disabled" | 14:37 |
| kubast2 | it doesn't happen right now, I checked dmesg for recent messages but there was nothing in there, maybe it happens during long idle periods | 14:42 |
| bodiccea | Try to restart with no addons when it happens again (and also try another browser, opening the same tabs), and come back then ;-) | 15:00 |
| arec | hi, after upgrading to 18.10 pulseaudio hasn't an output-device anymore. I tried to purge and reinstall pulseaudio but with no success. | 16:17 |
| arec | i purged now alsa-base as well, after an alsa force-reload if have my audio-device back until i reboot, but after a reboot I have to force-reload alsa again. | 16:47 |
| Kumool | ah pulseaudio | 16:48 |
| Kumool | bane of everyone's existence | 16:48 |
| arec | to sad that there aren't any proper alternatives | 16:48 |
| Kumool | arec: to be honest IDK why pulseaudio even exist, but anyway i'll try to help, so what does { systemctl status | grep pulseaudio } output? | 17:09 |
| arec | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gnDt9VMdGv/ | 17:10 |
| Kumool | ossv4 does everything that pulseaudio does | 17:11 |
| arec | well, it's working (for now) after i force-reloaded alsa | 17:11 |
| arec | should I reboot? | 17:11 |
| Kumool | mine is just 5905 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog | 17:12 |
| Kumool | no no, you can probably just kill everything | 17:12 |
| arec | probably you dont have an inidicator in your panel? | 17:12 |
| Kumool | I do | 17:13 |
| arec | if i kill pulseaudio, it will autospawn again and have a device and plays sound | 17:14 |
| Kumool | try {pulseaudio --kill;pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog} | 17:15 |
| Kumool | also pulseaudio --dump-conf | pastebinit | 17:16 |
| Kumool | it doesn't need to --daemonize=no if its properly configured | 17:17 |
| arec | first command doesn't change anything (except the pid of course) | 17:18 |
| arec | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3vsDZVdncb/ | 17:18 |
| arec | the internet said i should remove timidity-daemon, but i haven't have it installed | 17:21 |
| Kumool | arec: can you ask in #ubuntu | 17:21 |
| arec | I found just this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1801538 | 17:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 210472 in timidity (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1801538 Timidity daemon doesn't play nice with pulse audio" [High,Confirmed] | 17:23 |
| arec | ill try and ask otherwise in #ubuntu. hopefully they will not forward me to here :D | 17:23 |
| arec | thanks for your help! | 17:24 |
| Kumool | nah, never | 17:24 |
| Kumool | hey I tried :) | 17:24 |
| Kumool | lol, just /join #ubuntu | 17:26 |
| Kumool | arec: | 17:26 |
| arec | disableing timidity-service seems to work, but I think this shouldn't be the perfect solution | 17:26 |
| Kumool | i thought you didn't have it installed | 17:26 |
| arec | timidity-package is installed. otherwhere it where suggested to remove timidity-daemon, which i haven't installed | 17:27 |
| Kumool | ah | 17:27 |
| Kumool | do you need timidity? | 17:27 |
| arec | tbh i'm not sure | 17:28 |
| Kumool | try removing it, unless you're playing midi files or connecting a midi instrument I don't think it's necessary | 17:29 |
| Kumool | if you are then you might need a solution | 17:29 |
| Kumool | i still think you should /join #ubuntu | 17:29 |
| arec | I'm not sure if any game need it | 17:30 |
| Kumool | don't have to leave the channel btw | 17:30 |
| arec | I haven't left the channel, I reboot ;) | 17:30 |
| Kumool | ah | 17:30 |
| arec | i cannot join #ubuntu | 17:31 |
| arec | they are forwarding me to #ubuntu-unregged, even after i have registered my nick | 17:32 |
| Kumool | ah | 17:32 |
| Kumool | nevermind then | 17:32 |
| Kumool | pacmd list-source-outputs | pastebinit | 17:35 |
| arec | 0 source output(s) available. | 17:36 |
| arec | but now i have sound output | 17:36 |
| Kumool | pacmd info then | 17:37 |
| arec | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SFJJ3nwW8Q/ | 17:38 |
| arec | ah, now i can join ubuntu, i had to mail-verify my account | 17:39 |
| arec | I'll ask them how I have to configure timidity properly. | 17:44 |
| Kumool | don't ask that, ask your first question and paste that last pastebin | 17:44 |
| Kumool | i don't timidity is the problem | 17:45 |
| Kumool | however i don't have it installed, if you want just remove it | 17:46 |
| arec | timidity can work with nice soundfonts which makes midis sounds much better | 17:49 |
| Kumool | did you try to remove timidity to see if it actually is the problem? | 17:50 |
| arec | The problem disappeared after disabling the timidity service | 17:50 |
| Kumool | ah | 17:51 |
| arec | as i wrote above ;) | 17:51 |
| Kumool | https://askubuntu.com/questions/822303/timidity-and-pulse-audio-playback | 17:53 |
| arec | i think this references to the timidity application, not to the midi playback service, or im wrong? | 17:54 |
| Kumool | no clue, anyway i'm giving up, also you can select soundfonts in audacious amidi plugin, I'm sure other players as well | 18:06 |
| arec | yes, but this will not work in openttd | 18:06 |
| arec | thank for your help, at least i have sound now after stating my system | 18:06 |
| arec | about this timidity-think i'll try to figure out more. at least we have narrowed the problem to that | 18:07 |
| arec | but probably you are right and the working sound after diableing timidity is just a side-effect of a deeper problem | 18:07 |
| Kumool | I do not have 18.10 so I can't check to see if its reproducible, you're better off notifying in #ubuntu that the timidity service in 18.10 disables output devices | 18:09 |
| Kumool | if you make it sound urgent, someone might actually help :P | 18:10 |
| arec | yes, I'm trying, but for now nobody responsed to my questions | 18:10 |
| Kumool | arec: and that's how you ask a question :) | 18:22 |
| Kumool | arec: try out Ioria's suggestion | 18:22 |
| Kumool | arec: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/timidity#Daemon | 18:23 |
| Kumool | let me know how it goes, off to eat! | 18:24 |
| arec | i'm trying, but it seems not enables midimusic again... im try to figure out where there problem is | 18:24 |
| xubuntu96w | I had a unexpected shutdown. My battery was running out and the computer shut down. Is all ok or will there be some files corrupted ? | 18:35 |
| Kumool | bahahaha | 18:35 |
| Kumool | everything is fine | 18:35 |
| Kumool | xubuntu96w: depends on your filesystem | 18:36 |
| Kumool | xubuntu96w: if you were using a text editor, vim tends to keep a backup of everything you write as well | 18:37 |
| Kumool | in case of that | 18:37 |
| Kumool | xubuntu96w: you should however configure xfce-power-manager to go to sleep when the battery goes into critical status and so on | 18:37 |
| xubuntu96w | I dont work with anything.. I change battery, it needed to be uncharged before first use and i forget to turn it off manually. | 18:38 |
| xubuntu96w | In windows files can be corrupted.. that is why i ask... But linux is another thing i guess. | 18:39 |
| Kumool | they can be corrupted as well | 18:39 |
| Kumool | but whenever you boot fsck auto launches | 18:39 |
| Kumool | and does a file integrity check and fixes if it finds errors | 18:40 |
| xubuntu96w | Are there any log i can chec for that ? | 18:41 |
| xubuntu96w | *check | 18:41 |
| Kumool | arec: did you end up uninstalling a soundfont when you uninstalled timidity? | 18:41 |
| xubuntu96w | All works fine anyway. | 18:42 |
| Kumool | xubuntu96w: you can check /var/log/syslog to see boot system messages | 18:42 |
| Kumool | xubuntu96w: if you are in a laptop install laptop mode tools | 18:42 |
| arec | Kumool: yes i unistalled but reinstalled also | 18:44 |
| arec | the missing midi sound seems to be an openttd-related problem | 18:46 |
| Kumool | openttd has a channel in fnode i think | 18:48 |
| Kumool | never used it, i think you need to have the data files so | 18:48 |
| arec | yes, i found the channel and have the data files | 18:51 |
| xubuntu96w | Kumool: When all works as normal and no error messages then all is ok ? What will you do use it and dont care anymore ? | 18:52 |
| xubuntu96w | I guess all is ok.. thank you.. | 18:59 |
| Kumool | ?? | 19:00 |
| Kumool | yes, don't care about it and move on | 19:00 |
| Kumool | however, you should always have a backup in places, the hdd might fry or mobo or w\e | 19:01 |
| Kumool | put a bunch of printf statements on your program | 19:07 |
| Kumool | woops | 19:07 |
| puff | Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to set the login screen background. I tried the lightdm greeter app, but when I logged out and logged back in, it still showed the old login screen. I tried editing lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and yeah, it already has the path to the image I selected. | 23:17 |
| puff | Could it be a problem with the image being in a personal user account? Do I have to stick it in /usr/share somewhere, or something? | 23:17 |
