[04:14] <SoundPeanut> good morning ! some hardware geeks here willing to help out with Nvidia Fan speed controll ! GTX 1060 running super hot when on Power Level 4
[04:14] <SoundPeanut> Lenovo Legion Y720
[04:16] <SoundPeanut> I fixed this problem away by  running nvidia xconfig  comand creating new config file with coolbits enabled
[04:23] <SoundPeanut> but after 18.04 this was not working any more blackscreen after reboot
[09:02] <keyi> hello guys. im testing ubuntu studio 20.04 beta, im not a developer but i have plenty of spare time so i would like to help. i would like to suggest an idea if possible. is ot a way to implement jack audio in a way so its started automatically on each boot? so it cna work directly out of the box as coreaudio does?
[11:40] <Eickmeyer[m]> !ubuntustudio-controls | keyi: Anything you set here persists between boots
[18:36] <shaba238> is anyone getting more xruns in 20.04(beta)? my setting are 44100/512 internal soundcard.
[18:40] <OvenWerks> That does sound high. I will have to check that. I can't say as I have noticed but then I do normally use a PCI sound card
[18:41] <OvenWerks> Have you set ubuntustudio-controls to preformance?
[18:41] <shaba238> OvenWerks yes i did
[18:44] <shaba238> OvenWerks this is what im getting
[18:45] <shaba238> Thu Apr 16 20:42:23 2020: ERROR: JackEngine::XRun: client = pulse_out was not finished, state = TriggeredThu Apr 16 20:42:23 2020: ERROR: JackAudioDriver::ProcessGraphAsyncMaster: Process error
[18:50] <OvenWerks> h9ow are you running jack?
[18:51] <shaba238> https://postimg.cc/LYYqfBVJ
[18:53] <OvenWerks> default?
[18:53] <OvenWerks> are you sure that is your internal device and not hdmi?
[18:54] <OvenWerks> newer motherboards often reverse these
[18:54] <shaba238> i leaved it at default
[18:54] <shaba238> let me check
[18:54] <OvenWerks> try changing device to pch0,0
[18:54] <OvenWerks> or PCH,0,0
[18:55] <OvenWerks> a newer version will make sure default is never hdmi...
[18:55] <OvenWerks> but that is in the future
[18:55] <shaba238> ok i will try it now
[18:57] <shaba238> https://postimg.cc/kBRgcFLC
[18:57] <shaba238> it should be ok now
[19:01] <shaba238> OvenWerks maybe disabling hyperthread in bios also?
[19:11] <OvenWerks> at 512/2 hyperthreading should not be an issue. I have seen a difference at 64 or less
[19:12] <OvenWerks> My system (i5 with 4 cores) does not have hyperthreading so I would not notice in any case
[19:13] <OvenWerks> My tests were with older systems (P4 older atoms)
[19:13] <OvenWerks> at 512/2 hyperthreading should not be an issue. I have seen a difference at 64 or less
[19:13] <OvenWerks> My tests were with older systems (P4 older atoms)
[19:13] <OvenWerks> My system (i5 with 4 cores) does not have hyperthreading so I would not notice in any case
[19:15] <shaban238> OvenWerks mine its i5 too. i tried to disable the hyperthread.
[19:15] <shaban238> maybe wifi?
[19:15] <Eickmeyer> Wifi and Bluetooth are notorious for causing Xruns.
[19:19] <OvenWerks> some i5s are two core 4 thread but most desktop ones are four core.
[19:21] <shaban238> i was just curious as in 19.10 i was not getting so much xruns on the same machine
[19:23] <shaban238> im trying another app now. it seems better. with mixxx i got more xruns
[19:24] <Eickmeyer> shaban238: Every release we get people saying the same thing, that they didn't have as many xruns as the release prior.
[19:24] <Eickmeyer> *in the release prior
[19:25] <shaban238> maybe im doing smth wrong
[19:26] <Eickmeyer> Well, it usually takes a couple of kernel updates before things smooth out. Thing is, we don't maintain the kernel here.
[19:27] <Eickmeyer> I will say this: there is a jackd2 bugfix update coming down from Debain very soon.
[19:27] <shaban238> i see
[19:27] <Eickmeyer> Woah, speaking of which, it just landed.
[19:27] <Eickmeyer> (I just got the email notification)
[19:28] <shaban238> =D
[19:29] <Eickmeyer> Bug 1833479, if you're wondering (OvenWerks, might interest you too)
[19:30] <shaban238> Eickmeyer btw im not getting any xruns now that i removed pulseaudio ports
[19:51] <shaban238> OvenWerks it seems that at 1024 buffer size im not getting any xruns, which is pretty obvious i guess
[21:03] <shaban238> Eickmeyer may i ask you smth?
[21:03] <Eickmeyer> shaban238: Yes.
[21:04] <shaban238> i run realtimeconfigquickscan to see how my laptop handles real-time audio
[21:04] <Eickmeyer> I'm familiar with that, I package that in Fedora.
[21:04] <shaban238> ok :)
[21:04] <shaban238> and the result was all green
[21:04] <Eickmeyer> Cool!
[21:04] <shaban238> only 2 red
[21:04] <shaban238> Checking checking sysctl inotify max_user_watches... < 524288 - not good
[21:04] <Eickmeyer> Ok, and those were?
[21:04] <shaban238> Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good
[21:05] <Eickmeyer> Ok, the Real-Time Preemption one is a false positive.
[21:05] <Eickmeyer> !rt | shaban238
[21:05] <Eickmeyer> I suggest reading that link.
[21:05] <shaban238> ok thank you!
[21:05] <Eickmeyer> You'll see why having actual realtime process priority is BAD on desktop machines.
[21:06] <shaban238> as far as i know ubuntu studio comes with low latency because is more secure than realtime
[21:06] <Eickmeyer> That's 100% correct.
[21:06] <Eickmeyer> And pretty much what that link describes.
[21:07] <shaban238> :)
[21:07] <Eickmeyer> as far as sysctl inotify, I believe that might be a false positive too since it predates systemd.
[21:08] <shaban238> thank you for the explanation!
[21:09] <Eickmeyer> No problem. :)
[23:03] <AppAraat[m]> hi, I have an x220 on which I want to enable the mic. However, the mic mute LED appears to be always on. This is how my alsamixer capture page looks like: https://i.imgur.com/mbLPQ3j.png - and I'm running JACK too, this is how stuff looks like here: https://i.imgur.com/kqET657.png
[23:12] <Eickmeyer> AppAraat[m]: We don't support using qjackctl here.
[23:13] <Eickmeyer> You might consider checking in #lau_#freenode:matrix.org
[23:13] <Eickmeyer> (Linux Audio Users)
[23:13] <AppAraat[m]> huh? I thought it came with Ubuntu Studio by default?
[23:13] <Eickmeyer> Only for legacy reasons.
[23:13] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-controls | AppAraat[m]
[23:14] <Eickmeyer> qjackctl overcomplicates things that are solved very easily with Ubuntu Studio Controls.
[23:16] <AppAraat[m]> oh huh, I wasn't aware of that. I'll try it out. That page says that it's only from 20.04 and higher, and otherwise I have to backport a PPA. Since I'm on 18.04, is that backport included by default?
[23:17] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-backports | AppAraat[m]
[23:17] <Eickmeyer> You need to enable it using those instructions ^
[23:17] <Eickmeyer> Otherwise 18.04 is NOT supported.
[23:18] <AppAraat[m]> oh, if it's not by default then I don't think I have it enabled. I'll give these pages a read and come back.
[23:18] <Eickmeyer> AppAraat[m]: 18.04 of Ubuntu Studio was only supported until January of 2019 without that PPA.
[23:18] <Eickmeyer> (Not an LTS)
[23:19] <Eickmeyer> It says so on the website.
[23:19] <AppAraat[m]> 18.04 is not an LTS?
[23:19] <Eickmeyer> Nope.
[23:19] <Eickmeyer> Not for Ubuntu Studio.
[23:19] <AppAraat[m]> ooh I see
[23:19] <Eickmeyer> There was a major transition that happened at that time, and nobody on the team was comfortable with releasing an LTS.
[23:20] <AppAraat[m]> I thought LTS for Ubuntu = LTS for everything, but apparently not
[23:20] <Eickmeyer> Nope. Flavors (not Ubuntu proper) dicatate their own support life.
[23:20] <Eickmeyer> An LTS for an Ubuntu flavor is typically 3 years as opposed to 5.
[23:21] <AppAraat[m]> I'm glad to learn that! Would you recommend me to run 20.04? It seems pretty new for my taste.
[23:21] <Eickmeyer> I would. The daily ISO right now is very, very close to the final version, especially after running updates.
[23:22] <AppAraat[m]> all right, in that case I'll start with my plans for migration. I had no idea!
[23:23] <Eickmeyer> It was all over the website, including the download page.
[23:23] <Eickmeyer> And the release notes.
[23:23] <AppAraat[m]> last I visited the website was when I installed Ubuntu Studio, which was a while ago :p
[23:23] <AppAraat[m]> but yeah, I should visit it more often I think
[23:23] <Eickmeyer> Still, it was in the release notes.
[23:24] <Eickmeyer> The relase notes aren't very big. :)
[23:25] <Eickmeyer> AppAraat[m]: The website also got a nice redesign recently, you might actually like exploring it. :)
[23:26] <AppAraat[m]> I don't think I remember reading the release notes actually, I spun up the live ISO on my laptop, tested a few things out, noticed that all of the stuff I needed worked and proceeded to install it. But yeah, I should have been more attentive.
[23:26] <Eickmeyer> It's all good. I should probably put it in the topic line in IRC and on Matrix.
[23:27] <AppAraat[m]> yeah that's a good idea
[23:27] <Eickmeyer> Unfortunately ERR:PlayingWithSon now.
[23:28] <AppAraat[m]> no worries, I located the website and indeed it has been redesigned. It looks awesome!
[23:30] <AppAraat[m]> scrolling from the top is a bit CPU hungry (Chromium 80.0.3987.163) but otherwise it looks great from the first glance of it
[23:31] <Eickmeyer> Yeah, unfortunately that's the cost of the cool effect. Depends on your CPU, really. Mine doesn't even flinch.
[23:55] <AppAraat[m]> yeah I am trying to make some music on a potato
[23:55] <AppAraat[m]> and I need to re-paste it, so a hot potato at that
