[11:53] <creepancake> Hello everybody, I'm looking for help with Lubuntu..anyone willing to?
[12:00] <diogenes_> !ask | creepancake
[12:09] <creepancake> I recently installed lubuntu on a Asus E200HA netbook, everything works fine except for video and audio streaming, tried on firefox, chrome and chromium. Videos on youtube are laggy and without audio. On win 10 I did not have those problems so I excluded an hardware related issue. The netbook has an Intel Atom x5-Z8300 with integrated graphics and 2GB RAM. Thanks in advance
[12:10] <guiverc> creepancake, what release of Lubuntu?
[12:10] <creepancake> 18.04
[12:10] <guiverc> 18.04, 18.04.1, 18.04.2, 18.04.3?
[12:11] <guiverc> (I'm asking if you are using HWE or the later kernel & software stack which will contain later drivers esp. video..)
[12:12] <creepancake> 18.04.3
[12:12] <guiverc> creepancake, if you're near or on box; uname -r will say 4.15 is older ISOs were used; 5.0 if ...  :)
[12:13] <creepancake> 5.0.0-37-generic
[12:14] <guiverc> yep & thanks... thinking... If you `sudo lshw -C video`  (list hardware of class video) what is your video "driver=" listed as?
[12:16] <creepancake> driver=i915
[12:17] <guiverc> okay; written by intel so hopefully they know your intel card..  unless wrongly detected it shouldn't be reason for video I suspect...
[12:18] <creepancake> I'm not sure of that, it comes with product: Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series PCI Configuration
[12:18] <creepancake> looks pretty generic
 Have you tried streaming in vlc?
[12:19] <guiverc> one link says "sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra" for chromium (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1095347/some-videos-have-sound-and-some-have-no-sound-on-ubuntu-18-04); but follow @HMollerCl's direction
[12:20] <guiverc> (my last won't impact other browser you mention so unlikely it)
[12:23] <creepancake> i'll try, thank you. @HMollerCl I didn't try vlc, honestly I'd like to access directly from browser, the other users in the family may have difficulties with vlc
 Currently there is no hw acceleration in chromium, chrome nor Firefox in linux, but there is in vlc.
 There is an experimental version of chromium with hw acceleration, but it's not stable
 If your CPU relies heavy on gpu for decoding, might be an issue
[12:26]  * guiverc : Sorry I've found nothing else useful online
[12:29] <creepancake> @guiverc thanks, installed the codecs in chromium but nothing happened. @HMollerCl i'll try both vlc and the unstable version of chromium, do you have a link for it?
[12:33] <creepancake> vlc is also laggy and no audio
 Do you have audio on other things?
 Will look experimental chromium
[12:36] <creepancake> not anymore, yesterday played music on audacious with no problems
 I've read that chromium snap (instead of apt) has hw acceleration by default
 If you have apt chromium unistall it and install the snap onr
[12:39]  * guiverc was thinking same thing (try snap),  if it's no better, I'd remove snap & return to deb version (snap will have some overhead, but will ensure latest software is being used)
[12:40] <creepancake> ok i'm trying
[12:54] <guiverc> creepancake, there is a snap of firefox, I haven't used it - but it maybe worth trying too (snapped by Mozilla) -- (I've no better ideas)
[17:46] <sebastian_> hey
[17:46] <sebastian_> what's up
