[08:58] <Marius15> Dear all,
[08:59] <Marius15> I am using Xubuntu 20.04 on a Dell Latitude E5570 and the sound on speakers is ok, but when I plug in the headsets in the audio port, I get no sound at all.
[09:00] <Marius15> From a visual perspective, it looks that the sound is still emitted, however, any audio device plugged in does not get any sound. I tried playing with the mixer and no results. '=(  Any help, please?
[09:16] <diogenes_> Marius15, what i set in pavucontrol > configuration > profile?
[09:16] <Marius15> @dioge
[09:16] <Marius15> It's the default profile> Analog Stereo Duplex
[09:17] <Marius15> Funny that I had to extend the width of the window to see this tab.
[09:18] <diogenes_> Marius15, did you install over the previous /home partition?
[09:18] <Marius15> diogenes_ Thanks for the feedback. It's the default profile: Analog Stereo Duplex. But let me play with this also. I did not see this tab until I extended the window. :)
[09:18] <Marius15> Nope, just a fresh install.
[09:19] <diogenes_> ok try different profiles there.
[09:22] <Marius15> Nope, no changes. There are actually just a few of them available, the rest having the name ending with (unavailable).
[09:23] <Marius15> However, I see in syslog such entries when changing:
[09:23] <Marius15> May  1 12:20:59 snap rtkit-daemon[953]: Supervising 0 threads of 0 processes of 1 users.May  1 12:20:59 snap rtkit-daemon[953]: Failed to make ourselves RT: Operation not permitted
[09:26] <diogenes_> Marius15, ok Analog Stereo Duplex should be defaul and how can you make sure your headset is ok? also you can duplicate your question in #pulseaudio.
[09:30] <Marius15> I tested with multiple audio devices (2 headsets, 1 audio system). Same thing. Yes, "Analog Stereo Duplex" is the profile. Alright, I will post the question on #purseaudio. Thanks diogenes_ for the time and help. :)
[09:31] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[09:39] <Marius15> @diogenes_ Meanwhile, I manage to connect through Bluetooth to my Bose QC 35 II.
[09:39] <Marius15> :)  Imagine that. Bluetooth works, but the old school wire based fails ... I'll jump into that #pulseaudio, see what can be done.
[09:40] <diogenes_> ok come with feedback.
[09:40] <Marius15> Sure
[10:19] <willow> Hi, I'm having problems with the xfce desktop and applications after upgrading to 20.04, all text is blocky, have tried to reconfigure xfwm but with no luck, have installed plasma 5 de temporarily which is working fine.
[10:21] <diogenes_> willow, how did you upgrade?
[10:21] <willow> from a terminal
[10:21] <diogenes_> what command?
[10:23] <willow> sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[10:26] <diogenes_> willow, i'm not sure that's the correct way since i always prefer a fresh install but you can try to create a new user and see if the issue persists.
[10:28] <willow> I'd thought of that but I can't work out how to create a new user from plasma de, I cant read anything in xfce
[10:29] <diogenes_> willow, sudo adduser test
[10:30] <willow> Ah will do that now, thanks for helping by the wat very kind.
[10:31] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[10:31] <willow> ok I'm going to log out and back, see you in a min.
[10:36] <willow> ok didn't work, well couldn't find the second user I'd created in the login screen I'm assuming it's because the only login screen that's working is the plasma one
[10:40] <diogenes_> hmm, what is the output of users?
[10:40] <willow> just me (willow)
[10:42] <diogenes_> then the user creation wasn't successful try with kde's gui users management.
[10:43] <diogenes_> look in menu for users.
[10:44] <willow> Ok I've done that in kde, when I pulled up a terminal it still just says willow, only now it says it four times, willow wasn't the name I gave the new user.
[10:46] <diogenes_> log out and see if there is the user.
[10:47] <willow> hang on.
[10:51] <willow> I can see the new user but I can't log in as the new user
[10:52] <diogenes_> did you set the password for it and typed it correctly?
[10:53] <willow> it didn't offer a password option!
[10:54] <diogenes_> you mean on the login windows or ar creation time?
[10:55] <diogenes_> at*
[10:55] <willow> at creation time, I'm not that up on how plasma 5 does things, but it's the only other de I've used, I just know xfce really
[10:57] <diogenes_> willow, run: ls /etc/lightdm | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:57] <diogenes_> share the link.
[10:58] <willow> ok i'v gone back to users and set the option for no password, will log out to try again.
[10:58] <willow> hang about
[10:58] <diogenes_> ok
[10:59] <willow> https://termbin.com/8th6
[10:59] <willow> that's what I get back
[11:00] <diogenes_> now: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[11:01] <diogenes_> paste here.
[11:03] <willow> cat: /etc/x11/default-display-manager: No such file or directory
[11:03] <willow> intersting!
[11:03] <diogenes_> capital X11 :)
[11:03] <willow> my bad
[11:04] <willow> /usr/bin/sddm
[11:04] <diogenes_> ah damn it changed to sddm.
[11:05] <willow> yeah I couldn't enable xfwm4
[11:07] <diogenes_> ok run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[11:08] <willow> Done that, I selected lightdm
[11:09] <diogenes_> reboot.
[11:10] <willow> Ok
[11:16] <willow> When it restarted it went straight to xubuntu, no login screen, and it was still unreadable, ie blocky glyphs everywhere, issued reconfigure lightdm command in guake, selected sddm and got plasma back
[11:17] <diogenes_> ok let's try this.
[11:17] <diogenes_> sudo sh -c 'printf "[Seat:*]\nallow-guest=true\n" > /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-enable-guest.conf'
[11:19] <willow> It's just displaying a static cursor after > like this:  > |
[11:20] <diogenes_> willow, if you run a command and it gives no output it means the command was successful.
[11:21] <willow> yeah but I havent got my prompt back  $
[11:21] <diogenes_> ah i see i means you didn't put an end quote '
[11:22] <willow> yeah I didn't type that doing it now
[11:23] <willow> still same thing happening
[11:24] <diogenes_> ok just run: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mousepad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-enable-guest.conf
[11:26] <willow> I've done that, not sure whats happening, or if anything will happen no prompt at start of line
[11:29] <diogenes_> hmm that's why i prefer to take 20 to do a fresh install instead of spending days trying to fix the upgrade aftermaths but ok, run this one: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-enable-guest.conf
[11:31] <willow> I've only ever installed from scratch when hdd is on its way out, then I just clone it to the new one, a quick upgrade and off I go, can't remember the last time I downloaded an iso, but doing what you said now.
[11:33] <willow> ok what do I need to do in nano?
[11:33] <diogenes_> [Seat:*]
[11:33] <diogenes_> allow-guest=true
[11:34] <diogenes_> ctrl+o, enter, ctrl+x.
[11:34] <diogenes_> cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-enable-guest.conf
[11:34] <diogenes_> make sure you get those 2 lines.
[11:35] <willow> done that, it saved the two lines
[11:35] <diogenes_> grep "autologin-user=" -R /etc/lightdm
[11:35] <diogenes_> paste the output.
[11:36] <willow> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:autologin-user=willow
[11:36] <diogenes_> sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[11:37] <diogenes_> find the line autologin-user=willow and change it to #autologin-user=willow
[11:37] <diogenes_> ctrl+o, enter, ctrl+x.
[11:38] <willow> Ok that's done
[11:38] <diogenes_> grep "autologin-user=" -R /etc/lightdm and paste the result.
[11:38] <willow> grep "autologin-user=" -R /etc/lightdm
[11:39] <willow> what does tha addition of the hashtag do?
[11:39] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm pick lightdm, reboot and you should be getting a guest session option.
[11:39] <diogenes_> wait
[11:39] <willow> ?
[11:40] <diogenes_> hastag comments the line so it's being ignored when the config is being parsed.
[11:40] <diogenes_> you didn't paste the output of: grep "autologin-user=" -R /etc/lightdm
[11:41] <willow> ah ok, am I still waiting...yeah I did five lines up, Do it again if you want
[11:42] <diogenes_> i asked for that again after you added the hashtag.
[11:42] <willow> No I didn't sorry
[11:42] <willow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm pick lightdm
[11:42] <diogenes_> wait
[11:42] <diogenes_> not that
[11:42] <diogenes_> run: grep "autologin-user=" -R /etc/lightdm
[11:42] <diogenes_> paste the output.
[11:43] <willow> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:#autologin-user=willow
[11:43] <diogenes_> looks good now, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm pick lightdm, reboot and you should be getting a guest session option.
[11:43] <diogenes_> login as guest.
[11:44] <willow> Thanks for this help, I'm doing this now back soon.
[11:44] <diogenes_> ok
[11:45] <willow> should I select lightdm or keep sddm?
[11:45] <diogenes_> lightdm
[11:46] <willow> got it I mis read the last bit of code
[11:47] <willow>  I get this
[11:47] <willow> dpkg-query: package 'pick' is not installed and no information is available
[11:47] <willow> Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.
[11:47] <willow> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: pick is not installed.
[11:48] <willow> Obvs haven't rebooted
[11:48] <diogenes_> :)
[11:48] <diogenes_> wait
[11:49] <diogenes_> run:
[11:49] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[11:49] <diogenes_> pick/choose lightdm
[11:49] <diogenes_> reboot
[11:51] <willow> still saying the same as before should I reboot anyway, also my Bf says I'm being a pest now, and you've probably got better things to do, he also said I should just be a grown up and buy windows
[11:52] <diogenes_> tell him shame on him that a girl should be doing this instead of him :)
[11:52] <diogenes_> what command did you run?
[11:53] <willow> he's a windows user doesn't understand why someone would run linux, I've never used windows Vv lucky I used to use macs till they lost the plot
[11:53] <diogenes_> which means you're an intelligent elite person :)
[11:54] <willow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[11:54] <diogenes_> close all the terminals and re-open a brand new one and run this command again:
[11:54] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[11:55] <willow> Wouldn't say that, but at least I don't swear at my laptop when I switch it off
[12:00] <willow> Well I got a prettier login screen and the massive on screen keyboard has gone but xubuntu is still a no go, would do a screenshot but cant type anything legible
[12:01] <diogenes_> did you choose the guest session?
[12:03] <willow> it didn't offer me a session on reboot, just had to pick from plasma, xfce session or Xubuntu, both xfce & xubuntu the same, I'm thinking I may have to download unit 193's iso
[12:05] <diogenes_> if you want we could try a ninja solution.
[12:06] <willow> hang on I just got a big update which is asking to reboot, I'll do that and try guest session again although this NINJA option sounds exciting, back soon
[12:11] <willow> Right a guest account has been added together with the account I made earlier, but both asked for a password, I have no password!, I'd also set mine not to ask for a password, I don't think the update did anything.
[12:11] <diogenes_> willow, i didn't mean to pick a session but instead of willow you pick guest and hit enter.
[12:11] <willow> yeah i did
[12:12] <diogenes_> guest doesn't have to ask for password.
[12:12] <diogenes_> just hit enter.
[12:13] <willow> I did just hit "enter" it said incorrect password!
[12:14] <diogenes_> willow, ok let me walk you through the user creation steps one more time.
[12:14] <diogenes_> open the terminal and run:
[12:15] <diogenes_> sudo adduser test2
[12:15] <diogenes_> enter your password
[12:15] <diogenes_> New password: test
[12:15] <diogenes_> Retype new password: test
[12:15] <diogenes_> Full Name: test
[12:16] <diogenes_> Room Number (hit enter)
[12:16] <diogenes_> Work Phone: (hit enter)
[12:16] <diogenes_> Home Phone: (hit enter)
[12:16] <diogenes_> Other: (hit enter)
[12:17] <diogenes_> is the information correct? (type Y and hit enter)
[12:17] <diogenes_> now logout, type username: test2 password: test
[12:17] <diogenes_> and login to xfce session
[12:19] <willow> thankyou, I'm on my way
[12:22] <test2> ok Vanilla Xubuntu is up and working fine
[12:22] <test2> it's what I'm in now!
[12:22] <diogenes_> that's a good sign.
[12:23] <test2> what would be the plan now, can I import all my settings or just reset things from here?
[12:24] <diogenes_> the first attempt would be the following one, run this: mv /home/willow/.config/xfce4 /home/willow/.config/xfce4.bak
[12:25] <diogenes_> tell me what you get
[12:26] <test2> can't move the file : permission denied
[12:26] <diogenes_> sudo mv /home/willow/.config/xfce4 /home/willow/.config/xfce4.bak
[12:26] <xu-help73w> hi i am new to Linux. can anyone guide me to install drivers for my wireless wifi adapter model RTL8188FTV
[12:27] <diogenes_> !RTL8188FTV
[12:27] <diogenes_> !realtek
[12:27] <test2> I'm going to have to change permissions test2 isn't in the sudoer's file
[12:28] <xu-help73w> yes Realtek
[12:32] <diogenes_> xu-help73w, this might work: https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu
[12:42] <lightero1l>  "WPA/WPA2 are not supported. only non-encrypted and WEP encrypted networks function. "
[12:42] <lightero1l> good god
[12:42] <lightero1l> that's like choosing between having no encryption and having no encryption.
[12:47] <test2> I know everyone's busy but can't change the sudoer's file
[12:48] <test2> gonna have to swap back to plasma
[12:50] <willow> ok am back here (plasma de)
[12:52] <diogenes_> willow, mv /home/willow/.config/xfce4 /home/willow/.config/xfce4.bak
[12:53] <willow> Should I be doing that from here plasma or log back into the xfce guest session, if you're busy I'm good and understand
[12:54] <diogenes_> from plasma, not from xfce.
[12:54] <willow> ok
[12:54] <diogenes_> not busy don't worry.
[12:56] <willow> it just says command not found, I entered sudo before command & tried again, but same thing, I thought you were helping someone with their realtek driver issue.
[12:57] <diogenes_> willow, what command did you run?
[12:57] <diogenes_> and also i said nothing about sudo this time.
[12:58] <willow> The one you gave:  willow, mv /home/willow/.config/xfce4 /home/willow/.config/xfce4.bak
[13:00] <diogenes_> open dophin file manager and hit ctrl+h to see hidden folders, tell me when done.
[13:01] <willow> ok
[13:02] <diogenes_> go to .config folder, find xfce4 folder, right click on xfce4 folder > rename change the name to xfce4.bak.
[13:04] <willow> done that
[13:05] <diogenes_> log back into xfce session with willow user.
[13:06] <willow> ok give me a min
[13:18] <willow> Hi Diogenes I'm back in Xubuntu, it's not the vanilla one it's mine but with none of my theming etc, it did take a while to start & there is a black border around the text under icons on desktop and all the settings are kde ones
[13:19] <diogenes_> willow, are the fonts ok now?
[13:20] <willow> Yes the fonts are readable and everythings useable, just have to find my usual programs
[13:20] <diogenes_> they are in the menu :)
[13:21] <willow> I meant to add that tha xfce session looks like this as well
[13:22] <diogenes_> share a screenshot.
[13:22] <diogenes_> of how desktop looks like.
[13:24] <willow> I've no idea how to load a screenshot into xchat
[13:25] <diogenes_> willow, in terminal run: xfce4-screenshooter
[13:25] <diogenes_> pick 'entire screen'
[13:25] <willow> i've got the screenshot
[13:25] <diogenes_> pick 'host to imgur'
[13:26] <willow> ok
[13:26] <diogenes_> share the imgur link.
[13:27] <willow> https://imgur.com/YEjTrkE.png
[13:29] <diogenes_> now open the menu from the upper left corner and type: Appearance
[13:29] <diogenes_> pick the themes you like.
[13:31] <willow> ok
[13:32] <diogenes_> other than that everything looks good.
[13:33] <willow> yes all seems fine, I'm gonna map my buttons and build my bottom panel, but yeah all good, out of curiosity what was the ninja option
[13:34] <diogenes_> ok i gtg now for half an hour so if you got other questions ask in the channel, if no one answers, i'll be back in 30 min and will tell you about the ninja way :)
[13:35] <willow> thankyou very much, i owe you one
[13:35] <diogenes_> you're welcome see you
[13:35]  * diogenes_ is offline
[15:15] <xu-help72w> Hello! I've been wondering if there's an option of installing zfs-on-root in Xubuntu, like in Ubuntu.
[15:18] <xu-help72w> an easy option during new system install, that is
[15:19] <diogenes_> xu-help72w, there is ZFS option in partitioning.
[15:22] <xu-help72w> like, using a full disk for zfs, with all the system residing on it, then? I'm coming from Freebsd, you see. Got a bunch of old HDDs, that are dying one by one. Got used to feeling safe :)
[15:23] <diogenes_> yes full disk on ZFS.
[15:25] <xu-help72w> Well that's just great. I'll go and download and install it right away. Thank you, diogenes_!
[15:26] <diogenes_> xu-help72w, you're welcome.
[15:26] <diogenes_> !zfs
[15:44] <nikolam> It is only fuul-disk ZFS supported, not zfs pool on disk partition...
[15:45] <nikolam> I wonder could I make zfs install in Vm and then transfer datasets to zfs pool on top of the partition.. will that work with Ubuntu's GRUB to boot..
[16:28] <xu-help74w> I'm unable to install conky manager in xubuntu 20.04 ("unable to locate package manager") and I can't install the old ubuntu software center in which I knew Conky Manager was available.
[16:28] <diogenes_> !info conky
[17:26] <xu-help78w> Is Xubuntu 20.04 out for 19.10 users? I thought that it was, but I'm not being notified by the software updater or sudo apt dist-upgrade. As far as I'm aware, my upgrade path is correctly set.
[17:35] <xu-help78w> Even sudo do-release-upgrade is reporting that no upgrade exists.
[17:35] <coconut> xu-help78w, afaik it is for 19.10 installs... (but upgrading from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS is not advised yet, you would have to wait on 20.04.1 for that)
[17:36] <xu-help78w> Strange, given that I'm on 19.10.
[17:36] <coconut> xu-help78w, you could try sudo do-release-upgrade -c -d  #for that
[17:37] <housecat> it's not enabled for 19.10 -> 20.04 yet either, -d will override it as coconut said
[17:37] <xu-help78w> Is that wise? Doesn't -d force an update?
[17:37] <housecat> (it'll tell you it's "development", it's not)
[17:37] <xu-help78w> Why isn't it enabled yet? Hasn't 20.04 been out for a while?
[17:38] <housecat> someone in another channel says they're waiting on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony/+bug/1872902 being fixed
[17:38] <housecat> but in general, the answer is "so that people bash on it a bit with new installs and shake out any bugs before people start upgrading production systems"
[17:39] <xu-help78w> Excellent. That's all that I needed to know.
[18:19] <xu-help4w> in Xubuntu 20.04 the taskbars stay a bit transparant, even with opacity=100.
[18:22] <diogenes_> xu-help4w, screenshot?
[18:28] <xu-help4w> screenshot transparant taskbars while opacity=100 https://arcguard.tumblr.com/image/616937703532118016
[18:31] <diogenes_> xu-help4w, hmm that looks like a bug.
[22:14] <xu-help37w> Hi, anyone having a problem connecting to wifi from xubuntu 20.04?
[22:17] <gnrp> xu-help37w: I guess there are many, but the problem is pretty unspecific
[22:17] <gnrp> !ask
[22:29] <xu-irc85w> hello
[22:30] <xu-irc85w> I have a Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) that won t work on 18.04
[22:35] <xu-irc85w> alo
[22:35] <xu-irc85w> hola
[22:51] <Delemas> Hi I'm using Device-1: Intel 200 Series PCH HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel on Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.3.0-52-generic. Something happened, perhaps a recent update, that has stopped audio playback. Anyone find a solution or see the same thing?
[22:56] <gnrp> Delemas: so sound is still working in general?
[22:56] <gnrp> Delemas: I mean, when you open pavucontrol, you still see the dvice?
[23:03] <Delemas> No suddenly on a previous kernel, audio output stopped all together. I have an HDMI cable connected me to my TV which has optical output to a surround sound system. I see audio playing in the mixer but there is zero audio output no matter what I do now.
[23:03] <Delemas> Let me try that command.
[23:04] <Delemas> Oh ok that is what I was running from my systray.
[23:07] <Delemas> The Output device has a bullseye next to it which I'm pretty sure is wrong. Under Output Devices I see Built In Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI 2) and under port it says HDMI / DisplayPort 2 (plugged in).
[23:08] <Delemas> My input device is a Bullseye and says Monitor of Built In Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI 2).
[23:08] <Delemas> I have no microphones plugged in at the moment.
[23:09] <Delemas> It's almost as if it got confused the last time I removed my gaming headset I used for teleconferencing and hasn't recovered despite a full power off.
[23:16] <xu-irc85w> Saludos
[23:17] <gnrp> Delemas: But HDMI is not the Intel audio driver? I mean, the speakers you want to use, how are they connected? Via HDMI, or via jack?
[23:17] <xu-irc85w> Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) any ideas how to make it work or I need to go back to Windows?
[23:21] <Delemas> This motherboard does not have an optical output. I was outputting audio over HDMI to my TV which does have optical output which is connected to my DVD player which is driving the speakers.
[23:22] <Delemas> It's convoluted but up until recently worked perfectly.
[23:22] <Delemas> Now I can't get so much as a beep out of it...
[23:22] <gnrp> Delemas: When you go to configuration, what do you see?
[23:23] <gnrp> Delemas: Is the device maybe muted or not set as standard?
[23:23] <gnrp> I don't know what you mean by bullseye
[23:23] <Delemas> Is there a pastebin I can put a screenshot in?
[23:24] <well_laid_lawn> !paste
[23:25] <Delemas> It's kind of hard to explain without seeing it. Ah thanks!
[23:29] <Delemas> There is a snapshot of my input and output devices: https://imgur.com/a/C9OZ2wF
[23:29] <Delemas> I don't think having input as a monitor of output is normal. Neither is the red bullseye next to the device.
[23:29] <Delemas> They do not seem to be muted and alsamixer looks normal too.
[23:38] <gnrp> Delemas: Well, the input is muted, but whatever
[23:38] <gnrp> can you show the playback and the configuration tab also?
[23:39] <gnrp> sorry, I got to go to bed, I am seriously tired. I hope somebody else will help you, otherwise I can continue tomorrow
[23:47] <ShangNG> Delemas plug and unplug a headphone
