[00:00] Try taking out the speakers and plug in a set of headphones in and out a few times because it could be the external output switch may be frozen or shorted. [00:01] Listen to music while you are doing that. [00:03] The external speaker jack may be broken off from the circuit board. I have seen that as well as the power socket usually has the same problems. [00:04] Try wiggling the external speaker socket without the headphones listening to music to see if the socket may have broken away from the circuit board. [00:05] Make sure the sound is up. [00:05] If you hear an intermittency of sound with the internal speakers, then that is your problem. [00:07] The computer may need to be opened to see if that speaker socket is unsoldered from the circuit board. [00:07] Have you heard of a program named Mumble? [00:08] Unless you have done this before, take it to an expert. Believe me. [00:08] I may have seen it. I can look it up. [00:09] It is a program that lets you speak to others VOCALLY. [00:09] https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Installing_Mumble [00:09] Have you used it? [00:09] I get it from my OS'es repo. [00:10] Lately when i've been using it sometimes the Mumble icon wouldn't show up in pavucontrol. [00:10] Ok, So you think that that is the culprit? [00:11] So, when i start the program i press push to talk and say something right away, and then the icon always shows up in pavucontrol. [00:11] You installed Mumble? [00:11] I have it installed right now. [00:12] I have my own channel. [00:12] Explain please? [00:12] We are called Open Linux Community [00:13] I am the main admin for my Mumble channel. [00:13] OK. I read as you were typing that Mumble is a Server. [00:13] It is on many platforms. [00:14] Mumble is a program that allows you to speak to others VOCALLY, and there is also a chat box. [00:14] Nice. [00:14] And you can do many other things with it too. [00:14] I learned something new today. Thanks. :) [00:15] If i didn't have this sound problem we could try it together right now. [00:16] We could still chat using text on it though. [00:16] That's cool. I installed on another server Kiwiirc Web Based Server & Client. [00:16] Mumble has pretty great audio quality too. [00:16] I recently replaced my windows load on my laptop with xubuntu 20.04 [00:16] That sounds just like another irc client. [00:17] everything works flawlessly EXCEPT for the qualcomm bluetooth [00:17] You are dual booting? [00:17] Kiwi IRC is webchat, it's what webchat.freenode.net uses actually. [00:17] It is not just a client. It is a Web html IRC interface to any IRC server. [00:17] it does not seem to support the headset profile so if I want to actually talk to someone on my computer I have to use a wired headset [00:18] which consumes quite a bit of ram [00:18] my computer is more stable when running an actual IRC client as opposed to the webchat :) [00:18] When i use Mumble, i just use the built in mic on my laptop. [00:19] I see. That sounds almost like what your issue is now that you mentioned it. See how getting other minds on the matter helps. Hardware and software issues work together at times. [00:19] I am not dual booting [00:19] I replaced windows [00:19] still have the rescue usb I made if I need it [00:19] but...... I want to try to make this work [00:19] No. I thiugh Curly is dual booting. [00:19] thiugh is thought [00:20] oh sorry [00:20] Basically Mumble is a Daemon on top of your Xubuntu Server. [00:20] I just love Mumble for all the things it does. And it does them very well too. [00:21] I was interested in IRCDSeven and a few others. I have used the generic IRCD server years ago. [00:21] Curly: Don't use -seven, it's meant specifically for freenode. Use Charybdis instead. [00:21] Years ago Chanserve was developed from Church for IRC. [00:21] !info charybdis [00:21] charybdis (source: charybdis): fast, scalable irc server. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.2-1 (focal), package size 589 kB, installed size 3687 kB [00:21] !info atheme-services [00:21] atheme-services (source: atheme-services): modular IRC services daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.2.9-3 (focal), package size 1009 kB, installed size 7322 kB [00:22] My friends use Bahemoth IRC Daemon. [00:23] If i ever get this sound problem working, i will never forget the solution. [00:23] Cimbakahn I am sure you will figure it out. [00:24] I don't know if it is connected or not but my extension on my chrome browser hasn't been working lately. [00:24] These HELP channels are a good source of information. [00:24] It is an extension that is speech to text. [00:24] abtm_: Did you by chance scan through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#Troubleshooting and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting ? [00:25] Cimbakahn, now that you mentioned Mumble, I have a sneaky suspicion you just answered your question. [00:25] So, i click the button on it and talk, and it writes whatever i say. [00:25] Voice Recognition. Nice. [00:25] I don't have anything bluetooth. [00:26] Cimbakahn, how difficult would it be to uninstall Mumble and restore your system back to before to see if that is your problem? [00:27] Maybe my speech to text extension can't hear me. [00:27] It may be possible that Mumble Drivers have taken over as the < DEFAULT > drivers. [00:27] I got the crazy idea of going back to my last kernel. [00:28] Upgrading to NEW is not always a good idea and yes your are correct Cimbakahn. [00:28] I think so [00:29] the problem is that the correct profile was not supported on the driver avail [00:29] I helped you to troubleshoot the hardware issue but now that you mentioned Mumble, that puts a different light on the subject. [00:30] This is why when people come here to ask questions, you really never know what the real situation is because the questions asked here doesn't fit the problem. [00:33] Many times programmers presume that their drivers are better and when installed, the drivers take over the default drivers. [00:34] Consequently, this problem could be repeated over and over and no-one can figure it out because the driver developers didn't disclose that their drivers are now the default drivers. [00:35] Hence, the default drivers are gone and the programs that depend upon the default drivers now will not function properly. [00:36] See here: https://imgur.com/a/eU4YCvp [00:36] Abtm_ good to see you again. Also nice to meet you all. This is my second day here. [00:37] The first screenshot is what alsa looked like the last time i was there. [00:37] The second screenshot is that icon i was telling you about. The Mumble one. [00:38] Sometimes that icon doesn't show up, so as soon as i activate Mumble i say something over and over, then it shows up. [00:38] Is this your server Cimbakahn? [00:39] I noticed the mouseovers worked. I thought it was a graphic. [00:39] and you as well [00:39] Curly [00:40] of course no progress on my squid cache issue [00:40] It looks very handsome. [00:40] the #squid channel has had no one typing anything in over 24 hrs EXCEPT for me [00:40] Technically this is my server: https://imgur.com/a/UOjBZJ2 [00:41] Very nice. I am very interested in it. How much bandwidth does it take? [00:42] It is low latency. Hardly anything. [00:42] That's good. [00:43] I have used Mumble for over 11 years. [00:43] I love lite applications. [00:43] I like the word: latency. In Electronics, latency has to do with the time it takes for a signal to enter a circuit and leave. [00:43] But sometimes i have to pick one that is heavy like calibur. [00:43] I can see why. 11 years. [00:44] Stick with what works. Efficiency is key. [00:45] I like discord, but it is too heavy. [00:45] I have a channel on discord as well, but i stick with Mumble. [00:45] Does Mumble have email i.e. local server email or messages? [00:46] Use a separate server for each application and just simply link it all together. [00:46] You can send links and pictures using Mumble. [00:46] You can also set up a picture and a comment for yourself. [00:47] For my email i use zoho.com [00:48] You can text chat and speak VOCALLY with Mumble. [00:49] I suppose you can change the interface to your liking. [00:50] Yes. I can change the skins on it. And there is a site out there that lets you create your own skin. [00:51] If you text chat, the client would need to connect to Windows boxes I suppose. [00:51] I don't understand Windows boxes? [00:52] Well, text messaging as you mentioned. [00:52] I do not have Windows on here. I do not believe in dual booting. Just 1 Linux OS for me. [00:52] Murmur is the server aspect of mumble, mumble client runs on Windows, so those users would be able to connect to the server as well. [00:52] So the text messages would be on your server? [00:53] Mumble is cross platform. You can use it on Linux, Windows, Android, and MAC. [00:54] Murmur I see. The problem I see is that between Windows platform and Linux based platforms, people would have to know about it which poses a problem. [00:54] Curly: It's mainly a voice platform, no text is stored. [00:55] It is private. Mumble is nothing like Skype. [00:55] I was commenting on text messaging, [00:55] I hate Skype. [00:55] Scrap!! :) [00:55] They record everything you say, and everything you type. [00:56] That's no good. Scype is in my estimation, a database gathering none of your business mining. [00:57] Almost like using Google. I abandoned Google. They track you. Duckduckgo.com doesn't track and is much faster. [00:57] No. Text is not stored, because when i disconnect from Mumble i loose all the previous conversation. [00:58] That is a good thing. Caching all of that would be rediculous. [00:58] That is unless i copy and paste it into leafpad, and save it. [00:59] If it is something worth copying for your recollection. [00:59] Which i have to do from time to time to save the links that Siva sends me. [00:59] I only save it long enough to check out the web sites he sent me then i delete it. [01:00] I must say, that, I am glad I happened upon this irc channel. My first time. [01:00] Really! [01:01] Yes. Never have been here before. [01:01] I am right now on other private IRC servers. [01:01] Oh! [01:02] A good friend of 25 years on IRC Phadthai [01:02] My first time on Linux was Red Hat 6 hehe [01:02] Nice! [01:03] I feel sorry for you! [01:03] I started out on IRC with Netscape Navigator. [01:03] That was a long time ago. [01:03] AOHell [01:04] Then I used Windows 95 Pirch98 IRC client/server. [01:05] That was and still is a fantastic IRC client. Works on all Windows platforms. [01:05] Linux has come a long way. [01:05] I remember Windows 3.1 [01:06] That was around 1993. [01:06] I like Windows 95, because i could play some of my old games on it. [01:06] My first computer was a: VIC-20 :) [01:07] You are correct about Linux comming a long way. [01:07] I think the best Windows OS was 7 [01:08] Linux and Ubuntu or Xubunt are all UNICES. [01:08] With exception of the bad updates i got frequently with it. [01:08] Windows 7 is actually Windows 10 [01:08] ...It's really not. [01:08] Windows has stopped all Windows OS. Windows 10 is free if you have Windows 7. === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [01:09] Windows is now concentrating on Apps now and not the operating system. [01:09] I don't know how you can say that, because it doesn't come with that horrific metro screen on it. [01:10] I understand but the reading at Windows Microsoft says that the OS is not being updated. If that is a lie, then? [01:11] Windows 7 is at its end of life. There is no more updates for it. [01:11] I have a friend on the other server I am on who is a Microsoft programmer. We speak all of the time. He is part of the Edge Team. [01:11] So, if you want to continue on your computer you have to get another OS. [01:11] Also Xp Pro is not being supported anymore. There have been a few secret updates though. [01:12] Service pack 3 was the end of XP. [01:12] Correct about the Xp Pro! [01:13] I think XP pro is a great OS for the older machines 32 bit. [01:13] All of Windows updates is for 64 bit machines mostly. [01:14] It's about time too. [01:14] My very favorite OS is Black Lab Linux Lxde. [01:14] I am waiting for 128 bit to flood the market. :) [01:14] Unfortunately they don't make it any more. [01:14] I use LXDE on VBox. It works great and is a lightweight kernel. [01:15] IRC client is Ice Weasel. [01:15] What do you think about me going back to my last kernel? [01:16] Well, again, if you create an image file of your now kernel, then try it. No harm. As you said, you will never forget how you solved this problem. :) [01:16] Also you may be able to resurrect your other laptop. [01:18] The only problem with 128 bit machines if and when they flood the market, programmers will have to update all of their software. That is monumental. [01:18] Cool! I will try it, but later. I have things to do on this machine now. [01:18] 64 bit will be here for a while. [01:19] At least you have an idea now whereas earlier you were wondering what. [01:20] Well. In between 32, and 64 bit i think there is more software for 32 bit. [01:20] True. [01:20] Eventually that will change too. [01:20] It will take a while for the 32 bit stuff to catch up, let alone 128 bit. === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:21] If you know machine language, then, that is fast. [01:22] Do you remember GWBASIC on the old Windows DOS OS. [01:22] ASCII graphics. hehe [01:23] I just know a little bit of DOS, and html, and lua [01:24] DOS is interesting. [01:24] Siva really likes DOS. [01:24] It reminds me of Linux in many ways because of the root and trees and sub-directories. [01:24] He likes playing DOS games. [01:25] I had an old WANG computer. It has a dual operating system. WANG & Windows DOS. [01:26] I remember having an old: Corona Desktop. That was fun. It looked like a suitcase. It had a built in amber screen. [01:27] It was a DOS machine as well. [01:28] DOS is a great way to understand Linux because of the root tree and directories. [01:28] In GUI language, a directory is a Folder. [01:29] Sorry! [01:29] I am still here. [01:29] Your sorry you are here? :) [01:30] My cat Sky wants me to put something in the bowls. BRB! [01:31] It is nice to find out about Mumble. [01:32] How many users can Mumble handle before server load. [01:32] I guess the audio bandwidth is narrow. [01:33] The audo spectrum is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. [01:34] Which is a broadband of frequencies. [01:34] Telephone has a narrow-band of frequencies. [01:34] I'm back! [01:35] I would think that that FM Frequency Modulation would be used but now there is: Spread-Spectrum Technology. [01:36] Cimbakahn, as you mentioned Mumble has a low latency. [01:36] We could still try Mumble together if you want. There is still a text box in it. [01:37] Which in my Language as a Communications' Expert, using narrow frequencies. [01:37] My server has 50 seats. [01:37] Not this moment. However, I will soon. [01:37] I know of someone that had 9,999 [01:37] I will take the toilet seat. [01:37] That is watoo many seats. [01:38] Lol [01:38] I'm not sure if i'll ever use my 50. [01:38] HA!HA! [01:38] It may be that that server is divided into different servers or lots of CPU power. [01:39] What distro are you using now? [01:39] 50 conversations at one time is interesting. What is the quota of seats? [01:40] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [01:40] Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS [01:40] Release: 18.04 [01:40] Codename: bionic [01:41] I chose LTS because of its' support. Long Term Service. [01:42] Well. Here is the info you need to connect to my server when you're ready: [01:42] Click on server/connect/add new & put in this info: [01:42] LABEL: OLC / ADDRESS: mumble-us.cleanvoice.ru / PORT: 42874 / USER NAME (Just use the name you use here) Then click OK. Then YES to accept the certificate. When you get used to Mumble you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. It does so much! [01:45] What do you mean quota of seats? [01:45] What is the maximum of seats? You mentioned 50. [01:46] I don't know what the maximum is. I just know i have 50, and i've seen another server with 9.999 [01:47] Even at my 50, you know 50 people can't talk at once. [01:47] They'd be jumping on top one another. [01:48] I just get my Mumble from my OS'es repo. I don't bother with PPA's anymore to use it. [01:50] I think I misunderstood you. Is your Mumble server just one channel with 50 members or 50 different channels? Do you follow me/ [01:50] ? [01:51] In other words 50 people can talk all at once on one channel? [01:52] btw Curly just an fyi 20.04 is also an LTS release [01:53] ubuntu is on a 2 yr LTS cadence [01:53] Nice. [01:53] I thought LTS stands for Long Term Support? [01:53] Yes it does. I did mention support. [01:53] 3 years for desktop version and 5 years for server (core) [01:54] I believe I did install 2.04. I had a problem with Apache2 and the firewall. [01:54] My Mumble server is 1 channel that can accept 50 people. [01:54] 20.04 has some new .conf files for Apache2 which is crazy and the commands were unusual. [01:55] There are about 5 .conf files with 20.04 wich is perplexing. The command prompt language is not like the version I am using right now. [01:56] I wish i had 20.04 with a Lxde! [01:56] what commands are different? [01:56] I suppose you could make it happen. [01:56] also why do you prefer apache [01:56] That would take a lot of programming. [01:56] there are other alternatives such as lighttpd and ngix [01:57] I could use NGINX too. [01:57] I thought that is lubuntu a different flavor [01:57] NGINX is a by-product of Apache2. [01:57] Or i could do what i did to Bodhi before. [01:58] It is pronounced: Engine X [01:59] I installed Lxde on it, then logged out, then logged in using the new Lxde, and cannibalized Bodhi. [01:59] HA!HA!HA!HA! [02:00] Boy! That sucker was lightning fast! [02:00] I switched from lubuntu to xubuntu because I prefer the newer version of xfce better [02:00] Try that with: picoBSD hehe [02:01] picoBSD is a bootable BSD kernel on a floppy disk. hehe [02:01] Unfortunately Lubuntu doesn't come with Lxde anymore. [02:01] hrm [02:01] You can install the LXDE GUI and work with it. [02:02] I know what they should of done instead of forcing cute down everyones throat. [02:02] I think they call them: microkernels. [02:02] They should give you a choice at install. To install Lxde or Cute. [02:03] Suggest it to the programmers. They just may. [02:03] They probably already have one. [02:04] I don't know if they will even listen to me. They just seem to want to force things on people. Getting as bad as Microsoft. [02:05] Here is how to install LXDE on Ubuntu: https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/how-install-gui-ubuntu-server-guide/ [02:05] As to BSD. The best one i've ever seen was GhostBSD Mate. [02:06] BSD is by far the closet to UNIX than any kernel out there outside of Debian. [02:06] If ubuntu derivitives piss me off enough, i'll just go to Manjaro Lxde. [02:07] Check out the link I just posted. [02:08] LXDE is there. [02:08] The only reason i didn't stick with GhostBSD was because i felt like i was stranded on an island with no way to get supplies. [02:08] Not enough packages for me. [02:09] I have it up in my browser right now. [02:10] Debian does not use apt-get when I used it. Apt-get is by far the answer to any Linux user. I used to like the RPM Package Manager, but apt-get is a lot more desirable. [02:10] Looks interesting. [02:10] All of the repositories with apt-get is excellent and for the most part trustworthy. [02:11] alot of people now are just using apt. I still use apt-get. [02:12] Apt is pretty much the same. Like wget is still used with most versions. [02:12] I typed this into google ----> can Mumble Drivers take over as the DEFAULT drivers [02:13] Don't use Google. Use: https://duckduckgo.com [02:13] Make that your default search engine. [02:14] Make duckduckgo your default search ingine in Mozilla. [02:14] https://duckduckgo.com doesn't have enough info for me. [02:15] Of course it does. [02:15] I will not use Firefox. [02:15] You just need to know how to search with it. [02:16] Use Firefox and set the default < Search Engine > to https://duckduckgo.com [02:16] It is that simple. [02:16] It is faster, and you will never be tracked. [02:16] George Soros basically owns Firefox now. The Firefox we used to know has been altered too much. [02:17] Like Netscape Navigator was the first browser I used. [02:18] Netscape Navigator is now Firefox. [02:18] Still, the principals that Firefox was founded on no longer exist. [02:19] Netscape had a big lawsuit years ago with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is part of the operating system. Netscape Navigator was a standalone browser. [02:20] I remember that. I couldn't get rid of that damn IE, so i could save the space for something else. [02:21] By the way, everytime you use Internet Explorer now known as Edge keeps track of Firefox. To prove this, use CCleaner which is a free software to clean up Windows and you will always see Explorer as a resident leech of Microsoft. [02:21] Then those damn cyber programs that took up around 10 GB of space! [02:22] Also with I.E. it keeps cookies and other hidden files in which I found all of them and had a program to delete them all. [02:22] I use to use ccleaner when i was on Windows. [02:23] Here is what I.E. did in the background. It put cookies and tracked you everywhere you went and if you deleted the cache files, Microsoft refused to let them go so they gave the file a name and < inverted the text > to white so the file looked white but the fonts were white so you would think that the file was empty. If you inverted the fonts you would see all of the places you visited. That was the file [02:24] you deleted. [02:24] I bet you never thought of that. :) [02:25] What is nice is to use: HEX Editors. Also reverse engineering was fun. [02:26] Super cool! [02:26] You must think I am a hacker or something. [02:28] By the way, for a living I am a Forensic Data Recovery Expert. [02:29] I have other degrees. What do you do for a living? [02:29] No. Just someone that likes to get things done, and enjoy their computer. [02:29] Computer is a lot of fun and I like the challenge. [02:29] Nothing anymore. [02:29] I will not quit untill I find the answer. [02:29] What did you do for a living? [02:29] My latest and greatest career was as an Archaeologist. [02:30] I love Archaeology. You spelled the word correctly. [02:30] I have done so much more in life though. [02:31] I watch the History and Discovery and the Archaeologist. [02:33] Never think less of yourself though. [02:34] Not all can have the privilege of going to school for 45 years. [02:34] Siva just came on in Mumble. [02:35] I said; Can't do anything about it. I don't have sound. [02:35] I am a student of life, and love learning. [02:35] By the way you would like to meet my friend from Canada Phadthai and Lucca. Very intelligent people.

[02:48] I flooded. But Brian it failed Cannot open. [02:49] I hope this helped. [02:53] What distro is it? [02:54] At least I found out his name is Brian according to the paste. [02:55] The system failed. [02:55] No such file or directory which means trouble. [02:57] When it says: Please consult the X.Org Foundation support is a bad sign. [02:57] Probably a waste of time. Install another distro. [02:59] Cimbakahn still there? [03:01] Yes. I'm still here. [03:01] Did you read the paste? [03:01] Just got back from the kitchen. [03:01] Grabbed a snack. [03:02] You mean his pastebin? [03:02] What did you think of Thaweater paste? Yes. [03:03] You must be eating your snack. :) [03:03] I am. [03:03] Cookies? Sandwich. [03:03] Snickers [03:03] Oh! [03:04] All of this time I have been sippiing: Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum. [03:05] I just scanned through it a little bit. [03:05] What is your opinion? [03:05] I pasted some of the important error message. [03:05] I did see that his name is Brian. [03:05] I know when it reads "No such file or directory" you're in trouble. [03:06] Error messages are important. In Linux Anaconda is a dump file and the end of the road when I used Red Hat. [03:07] Ok. [03:07] What is your next project after Mumble? [03:09] My next project is Squirrel GUI Email Server or something like that. I haven't met anyone who has installed their own Email server. [03:09] Mumble isn't really a project for me. I just want to get this sound issue fixed and get a bunch of stuff done on the internet tonight. [03:10]
