| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Valorie, I agree with earlier frustration as these issues are difficult to pinpoint the problem packages. | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | by chance I just got the onboard sound to work again, maybe because I had to shut down earlier when we lost power | 01:10 |
| valorie | there was a PA update yesterday I think | 01:10 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> PA? | 01:10 |
| valorie | but I wish it would just go back to what it was at the beta -- plug in headset, Just Works | 01:10 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> pulseaudio? | 01:11 |
| valorie | unplug headset, onboard sound Just Works | 01:11 |
| valorie | PulseAudio | 01:11 |
| valorie | I guess I could start a Google Meet and see if the cam still works | 01:11 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Yes, that's the same problem I am fighting. Sometime I have to re-plug my headset dongle 3 times before it works correctly. Testing neon dev unstable works fine with plasma 5.20, so if it's a KDE issue then fixed are in the pipe. I don't think its a kernel issues as I Ubuntu 20.10 works fine with the same hw. | 01:13 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> sure, I can help test your cam if you want. | 01:15 |
| valorie | it worked yesterday | 01:16 |
| valorie | yep, works today | 01:18 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> on 20.04 my web cam mic would occasionally turn my voice into Donald Duck. I had to re-connect the usb plug to fix it or use a different browser. | 01:18 |
| valorie | you don't even have to join a meeting, just say 'yes, I give permission to use my cam' | 01:18 |
| valorie | and it starts up | 01:18 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Ok, very good, then ignore my meeting link in the PM. | 01:19 |
| valorie | lol | 01:22 |
| valorie | I host meetings all the time for my genealogy society | 01:22 |
| valorie | I do like BBB better | 01:23 |
| valorie | it seems friendlier | 01:23 |
| valorie | but gMeet works | 01:23 |
| valorie | and you don't have to install a crappy app | 01:23 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> More flexible with whiteboard type stuff. I just tried gMeets for the 1st time and it seemed straight forward. | 01:23 |
| valorie | yep | 01:24 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> For work, I use both Teams and Zoom. Those apps consume 100's of MB of RAM. But they work really well on Linux. | 01:25 |
| valorie | when the lockdowns were imposed, my society already had the non-profit free GSuite, and a friend and I tested it out and advocated for us to use it | 01:25 |
| valorie | now we have more than one meeting per week, and people from around the US attending | 01:25 |
| valorie | it's pretty cool | 01:25 |
| valorie | I hate zoom | 01:25 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Funny, I like using both of those on Linux better than on my Windows work laptop. | 01:26 |
| valorie | except the name, which is great | 01:26 |
| valorie | I hate the app | 01:26 |
| valorie | it isn't great in the browser, but not horrible | 01:26 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Zoom is updated on a weekly/bi-weekly basis and sometime they break things. So I always keep a known good working copy. | 01:26 |
| valorie | some groups don't allow me to join via the browser tho | 01:27 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Teams is updated via PPA, where Zoom requires manual updating. | 01:27 |
| valorie | I've not used teams | 01:27 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Due to the excessive number of teams and active conversation I have with people from work, all the Teams processes consume ~800MB of RAM! | 01:29 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> In a half hour, I have my last Zoom meeting for today ...Working for a global company mandates long days at times... | 01:36 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <DarinMiller> Several reconnections of my plantronics headset never succeeded in correctly configuring both mic and headset, so I am back to strongly considering reverting back to 20.04.... :( | 02:23 |
| valorie | it worked in the beta | 02:51 |
| valorie | :( | 02:51 |
| valorie | usually by messing with the "advanced" settings in pavucontrol I can get things to work | 02:52 |
| valorie | or sometimes by restarting Chrome | 02:52 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:22 |
