AppAraat[m]RE: Ubuntu Studio + KDE00:03
AppAraat[m]Have you checked out the NX Desktop, which is built on top of Plasma 5? https://nx-desktop.org/ - looks pretty slick.00:03
EickmeyerAppAraat: That's a cusomization layer on top of Plasma. It's not in the repos. We don't want to maintain anything additional, that makes a lot more work for the team than it's worth.00:06
* OvenWerks notes that the studio version of plasma already looks different than kubuntu00:07
AppAraat[m]yeah make sense, diverging too far from the tree becomes cumbersome at some point.00:07
EickmeyerWe don't diverge from the tree at all. Ubuntu Studio is 100% Ubuntu. Nothing more, nothing less.00:07
linuxgeckoEickmeyer: unless it changed in the upgrade from eoan to focal, yes it is.00:37
Eickmeyerlinuxgecko: I don't follow.00:38

twoinoneinputHi! I have a laptop that has a 2 in 1 input/output, I plug a microphone where I plug headphones. I was wondering if there's a way I can plug a microphone and still, somehow, have audio coming from the speakers? Maybe routing or using a script or something.03:59
OvenWerksmaybe try hdajackretask?04:01
OvenWerksor you may be able to just use alsamixer to turn up the speakers04:01
OvenWerksit depends on your hw motherboard04:01
twoinoneinputI tried alsamixer and I *can* select the speakers but it says unavailable and sound won't come out from them. I'll check hdajackretask04:03
twoinoneinputI found a way to do this with PulseAudio, haven't tested it yet, but that wouldn't work if I have jack running, right?04:09
OvenWerksnot if jack has control of that device.04:09
OvenWerksyou could use the jack dummy nack end and then bridge jack to pulse and use that as your output ...04:10
OvenWerks*Backend04:10
twoinoneinputOof I'll have to check that too, not sure how to do it04:12
OvenWerksI would have to read up on it too.04:13
twoinoneinputMmm... actually, I think it's still not going to work, the mic will pick up the audio from my speakers. I'll have to get a splitter.04:15
OvenWerksThere are also small USB dongles with an extra input.04:16
twoinoneinputI wanted to try using headphone with bluetooth but I guess latency is going to be a problem04:16
OvenWerksthey are the same size as a USB memory stick04:16
twoinoneinputI'll check those too04:16
OvenWerksI have found them for as low as about $5 with delivery a year ago.04:17
twoinoneinputOne unrelated question, what does audio sink actually mean? When I first paired my bluetooth headphones I got the option to set it as headset and audio sink.04:18
OvenWerksaudio sink just means a place for audio to go to. I think it is pulse speak04:20
OvenWerksjack does not use that term04:20
OvenWerksjack calls them playback04:20
twoinoneinputOhh I see04:25
twoinoneinputIs it possible to have jack send the output to my bluetooth headset? I know latency is going to be an issue, I just wanna test it.04:27
OvenWerksto send a pulse source (input) direct to a pulse output/sink use pacmd load-module module-loopback04:27
OvenWerksthe only way to set up bluetooth with jack is through pulse.04:28
OvenWerksusing the above command with the right parameters you need at least to add some latency (latency_msec=5 worked for me)04:29
OvenWerksI used the command: pacmd load-module module-loopback latency_msec=504:29
twoinoneinputOkay, I'm a noob, I just run that command or do I need to set somthing up first?04:30
OvenWerksThen I used pavucontrol to hook a jackpulse bridge as an input and bluetooth speakers as the output04:30
OvenWerksBut looking at the module-loopback parameters it seems you can specify that in the command line04:31
OvenWerksI id not get that far :)04:31
OvenWerksI ony did it once so I am not sure exactly how I did it.04:31
OvenWerksI was using ubuntustudio-controls to start jack and add pulse-jack bridges04:32
OvenWerks(-controls also allows adding a second audio device to jack as well BTW)04:32
OvenWerksThen I ran the command above and as I said played with pavucontrol till I got the sound I wanted out of the BT speaker04:33
OvenWerksI don't have a BT speaker, I had to borrow one to try it out.04:34
twoinoneinput Oh man, that's too much for I think lol04:35
twoinoneinputI guess I'll have to wait for my splitter04:35
RadioArterngood morning together..06:51
RadioArternis there someone who has the idea why in Ubuntu Studio the cache fills up by itself or the temp directory fills up faster than the hard disk becomes free ..: D Is this problem known?06:53
