[05:51] <Robert18> Is there a way to set a working equalizer which whould equalize all the sounds in the system before playing them?
[05:51] <Robert18> Haven't found anything working yet.
[05:59] <daffy1234> I hear a lot of crackling from fluidsynth/qsynth when theres a lot of sound going on (e.g. 4+ notes being played and a youtube video in the background, or just using a complicated soundfont). Qsynth complains about not being able to change priority, and when ran as root it freezes the computer, requiring me to go into a tty to pkill -9 qsynth. Any
[05:59] <daffy1234> ideas?
[08:25] <xubuntu88w> Good morning. Whats the alternative to "/etc/rc.local" on Xubuntu last version? I need to start a command when the SO boot up
[08:26] <xubuntu88w> I thought to do it with crontab @reboot but I reed that in some distros and versions doesnt work always fine
[08:35] <pmjdebruijn> just add a oneshot service
[08:35] <pmjdebruijn> rc.local really wasn't a good solution for anything at any point in time :)
[08:36] <xubuntu88w> And how can I do that? I mean add the service
[08:38] <well_laid_lawn> !systemd
[08:38] <pmjdebruijn> xubuntu88w: https://pastebin.com/raw/RXd5BMv5
[08:38] <pmjdebruijn> put that in /etc/systemd/system
[08:38] <pmjdebruijn> systemctl daemon-reload
[08:38] <pmjdebruijn> systemctl enable whateveryoucalledit.service
[09:11] <xubuntu88w> So, if I get it right, I created a file on /etc/systemd/system/ and the file have the next info:
[09:12] <xubuntu88w> [Service]
[09:12] <xubuntu88w> Type=oneshot
[09:12] <xubuntu88w> ExecStart=x11vnc -forever -rfbauth [pathfile]
[09:15] <xubuntu88w> Ups, actually the ExecStart= it contain the path to a .sh file where is the command line
[09:21] <well_laid_lawn> you might need to add some Requires= in that, like X as a guess
[09:26] <well_laid_lawn> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/402201/creating-x11vnc-system-service might help
[09:51] <lighterowl> why anyone would want to use -rfbauth is beyond me. "Note that due to the VNC protocol only the first 8 characters of a password are used (DES key)."
[09:53] <well_laid_lawn> ssh is enough for most people
[09:54] <lighterowl> exactly. and heaps more secure by default.
[09:54] <well_laid_lawn> some demand the gui though ...
[09:54] <lighterowl> but you can still run x11vnc and tunnel the actual VNC data over a ssh session. this is exactly what I suggested yesterday, but this wasn't taken into account by this individual for some reason.
[09:55] <lighterowl> oh well
[09:55] <well_laid_lawn> security can be hard sometimes <shrug>
[09:56] <lighterowl> :)
[10:25] <xubuntu11w> Hi to everyone, I still trying to run the service when the so boot up. The "systemctl status x11vnc.service" command give me the next error "x11vnc.service: Failed to execute command: Permision denied, and x11vnc.service_ Failed at step EXEC spawning /etc/.vnc/x11vncstart.sh: Permission denied
[10:25] <xubuntu11w> Both files x11vnc.service and x11vncstart.sh are in /etc/ with permissions for root
[10:27] <well_laid_lawn> did you see "https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/402201/creating-x11vnc-system-service might help"
[10:32] <pmjdebruijn> xubuntu11w: uhm? a .sh file in /etc ?
[10:33] <pmjdebruijn> xubuntu11w: is your .sh executable?
[10:33] <pmjdebruijn> also, isn't x11vnc supposed to run in your session?
[10:34] <pmjdebruijn> ah no
[10:39] <xubuntu11w> Ok, now the status service is right, the problem was the passwd file owner after changed the owner to root the service work fine now
[10:49] <xubuntu11w> For some reason, after reboot the system the service failed again with the same permissions error :/
[10:50] <xubuntu11w> And yes well_laid_lawn i checked that link
[10:51] <xubuntu11w> pmjdebruijn the .sh is executable yes, if I executed the .sh from shell the vnc server start fine
[10:51] <pmjdebruijn> keep in mind that systemd does not impart env vars like your shell does
[10:51] <pmjdebruijn> you need to use Environment=WHATEVER=whatever to set anything that process needs in an env var
[10:55] <xubuntu11w> But if I put the order command into the "ExecStart=" or if the "ExecStart=" target a .sh file, should work fine, no?
[10:57] <pmjdebruijn> not sure what you mean
[10:57] <xubuntu11w> For example: I have the next file into /etc/xdg/autostart/whatever.desktop
[10:58] <xubuntu11w> [Desktop Entry]
[10:58] <xubuntu11w> Name=whatever
[10:58] <pmjdebruijn> please use pastebin
[10:58] <xubuntu11w> Exec= xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 99"
[10:58] <pmjdebruijn> keep in mind a .desktop is executed inside your desktop session
[10:58] <pmjdebruijn> a .service is not, and that's a HUUUUUUGE difference
[10:59] <xubuntu11w> And that file execute that command when a user log in, basicly i wnat to do the same but with x11vnc command but when the SO boot up
[11:00] <pmjdebruijn> SO?
[11:00] <xubuntu11w> OS* sorry
[11:00] <xubuntu11w> Operative System
[11:00] <pmjdebruijn> yeah no clue about the specifics
[11:00] <pmjdebruijn> again, it seems x11vnc is built to run in session
[11:00] <pmjdebruijn> without a user logged in, there is no session
[11:02] <pmjdebruijn> the tricks in that stackexchange thing is probably to simulate a session environment
[11:02] <pmjdebruijn> but you'll have to struggle through that
[11:06] <xubuntu11w> I've seen the vnc working without a session and then, login with a user
[11:07] <pmjdebruijn> I never said I couldn't be done
[11:07] <pmjdebruijn> I'm just saying it's non-trivial
[11:07] <pmjdebruijn> again, did you read the stackexchange article thoroughly
[11:08] <pmjdebruijn> also what specific permissions error
[11:08] <pmjdebruijn> pastebin journalctl -u yourservice
[11:09] <xubuntu11w> I didnt see any "stackexchange article". It didnt say anything else, just "Failed to execute command: Permission denied"
[11:09] <xubuntu11w> Wait, because Im in another machine

[11:24] <xubuntu82w> i downloaded  Xubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) i found now that it was supported until July 2020D:
[11:25] <xubuntu35w> Well, I have to leave now, I will try to run the service later
[11:25] <xubuntu35w> Anyway, thanks to everyone for your help and patient :)
[11:29] <brainwash> xubuntu82w: was? it still is supported
[11:30] <xubuntu82w> yes, i means ... just till july 2020?
[11:37] <brainwash> xubuntu82w: you will keep upgrading to the next release
[11:37] <brainwash> every 6 months basically, unless you switch to the LTS cycle
[11:39] <xubuntu82w> thanks!
[15:09] <DarkTrick> Is there a place where the raw images for the mouse pointer graphics are stored? I mean in a kind of GIMP file, where mouse arrow and shadow are still separated?
