gskerI'm not sure what that was, but it wasn't a picture of a task manager.  Just open a command line and type ps -ef00:03
jjbob1234Hey, anyone have time to help me with my audio issue?00:04
user217_gsker: I have long list of running applications. So its not lokks helpfull((00:05

user217_oerheks: it was just an example that show that identifying woking. But second output - was try to identify unnamed window00:07
user217_* if you reffer to my pastbin00:07
jjbob1234To be more specific if anyones interested in helping me, i'm running a Geforce 9600 GT DVI to HDMI to my TV on a Inspiron 531 S, and it seems that ALSA isn't detecting the DVI/HDMI audio device, given that aplay -l only gives me 0,0 and nothing else, which i'm assuming is the on board audio device.00:09
user217_oerheks: and as you see - it show bash, xargs and ps https://pastebin.com/raw/BKpRYR1g00:09
oerheksoke, try this oneliner, it gives a cross to select the window of desire https://askubuntu.com/questions/137875/tell-a-process-pid-by-its-window00:09
oerheks xprop _NET_WM_PID | sed 's/_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = //' | ps `cat`00:09
user217_gsker: I mean - that I cant calculate what app exactly is in output represent my app that is run00:10
gskerah. is there a window for this app on the screen?00:10
oerheksor simpler; xprop | grep PID00:10
gskeroerheks -- yeah - -that.00:10
user217_oerheks: _NET_WM_PID:  not found.00:11
user217_oerheks: second command - just dont give any output00:11
gskerI like wmctrl -lp00:11
jjbob1234Just @ me if anyone thinks they can help with my audio issues, i'll wait a bit.00:12
gsker@jjbob1234 just post your question00:12
user217_gsker: X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)00:12
gskerwmctrl -lp all by itself gives you that error?00:14

jjbob1234i'm running ubuntu 20.04 on a Geforce 9600 GT DVI to HDMI to my TV on a Inspiron 531 S, and it seems that ALSA isn't detecting the DVI/HDMI audio device, given that aplay -l only gives me Card 0 Device 0 which i'm pretty sure is my onboard, which i currently don't have a cable to test, but I have a broken speaker and when i plug it in it shows that00:15
jjbob1234output in the settings otherwise, i have no HDMI or DVI audio output settings in the settings.00:15
jjbob1234What could be wrong?00:16
gskerwhat does    lspci -v | grep -i audio       say?00:16
user217_oerheks: what mean "so it is a runaway process.." ?00:16
gskerjjbob1234: type that at a terminal command line prompt.00:17
gskerI see this: gsker@veeta:/tmp>lspci -v | grep -i audio00:17
gsker00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)00:17
gsker05:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)00:17
gskerSubsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GM204 High Definition Audio Controller00:17
gskerSo you can see my HDMI audio device.00:17
jjbob1234Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)00:18
jjbob1234thats it00:18
jjbob123400:05.0 infront if that matters00:18
gskerAnd do you htink that's the onboard?00:18
gskerIf not, have you installed pavucontrol?00:18
gskersudo apt install pavucontrol00:19
jjbob1234I have installed pavucontrol and it only shows built-in audio analog stereo Line Out00:19
jjbob1234i had it set up like this on my old computer which died recently and the audio worked like this on 16.04 i don't remember if i had to do anything special to get it to output through the DVI to HDMI00:22
gskerWhat do you mean by DVI to HDMI?00:22
gskerIf you are using adapters are you using exactly the same cables and adapaters you were before?00:22
jjbob1234i have a DVI converter plugged into one of the DVI outputs so i can plug an HDMI into it.00:23
jjbob1234yes00:23
jjbob1234different GPU though.00:23
matsamanjjbob1234: you could configure alsa with defaults.ctl.card 1, defaults.pcm.card 1, defaults.pcm.device foo00:24
matsamanbut I mean, only if the system can see that second audio device at all00:24
jjbob1234alsamixer pavucontrol and aplay say i only have one, and00:25
jjbob1234i ment to delete that and lol00:25
gskerYou could also try deleting the pulse configuration (or copy it aside) in $HOME/.config/pulse00:26
gskerMake sure none of your cables or adapters look like this: https://cablestogo-909a.kxcdn.com/static/content/common/images/learning/connector-guides/digital-video/450/dvi-d-single-m-c.9b13842c.jpg00:26
gskerI swear that one time that did work for me but my next video card did not work with that and then I looked it up and it's not supposed to.00:27
jjbob1234okay i'll try deleting that turn it off and check the adapter to see if it looks like that.00:28
gskerI'm a little surprised that you only see an NVIDIA audio device.  I would have expected an Intel device for the onboard.  Does    lsmod | grep snd    show anything interesting?00:29
jjbob1234lsmod | grep snd shows alot of hda_intel some midi and realtek00:30
jjbob1234anything i should be looking for?00:31
gskerThat sound reasonable.  But why isn't realtek showing in your lspci output????  Curious.00:32
gskerThis is related: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/gaming-pcs/8/138920/9600gthdmi-problem-no-sound/00:32
jjbob1234there is no pulse config file in .config/pulse just a bunch of files with random numbers and letters and a file named cookie00:32
gskerBut not a solution.00:32
gskermove all those files aside. and re-login00:33
gskerOr even just kill pulseaudio00:33
gskerpkill pulseaudio00:33
gskerit will get restarted and repopulate its 'stuff'00:33
jjbob1234should i sudo pkill? it says operation not permitted00:34
gskerno.00:34
gskerThat's correctg.00:34
gskeryou only want to kill the one that belongs to you.00:34
gskernot the one that belongs to the system.00:35
gskerso the "operation not permitted" is for the system one.00:35
gskerbut yours got closed00:35
gskerps -ef | grep pulseaudio    should show a new pulseaudio.00:35
gskercheck the date in column 5.00:36
gskers/date/timestamp/00:36
jjbob1234okay looks like column 5 on the last entry is set to when i did the command.00:37
jjbob1234still broken though so i'll see if the cable looks like that picture you sent.00:38
jjbob1234i'll still be on here though since i'm on my other computer on here.00:39
jjbob1234it looks like this https://lilliputdirect.com/image/cache/catalog/Products/Accessory/Cables/HDMI%20to%20DVI-500x500.jpg00:42
gskerwell that's good.00:42
gskerwhich nvidia driver version are you running?  dpkg -i | grep '^ii.*nvidia'00:43
gskerapt list --installed nvidia\*00:44
oerhekspulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload # might force audio again00:44
oerheksbut dvi.. not much success with audio over that, one needs a full dvi-D cable00:45
jjbob1234computers booting back up rn, sorry it takes a second, @oerheks the dvi cable worked for audio on my last computer for audio, which is why i'm still trying lmao.00:47
jjbob1234just got back in and its nvidia-340 and nvidia-opencl-icd-34000:48
jjbob1234i did add a line to a file suggested by a forum to try and fix it, it was something like option alsa model=generic. (sorry i cant remember the exact file or line right now i'd have to dig through the internet again) i think that was before i installed the nvidia drivers, could that cause any issues?00:55

jjbob1234now i just have 1 more question, that isn't really an issue, i've heard that my computer Inspiron 531 s works with 8GB but only on windows 7 (for some reason), what are my chances of it working on ubuntu?02:04
jjbob12348GB ram*02:04

gskerjjbob1234 you're welcome.  Sorry we didn't come up with an obvious answer...02:18
jjbob1234 @gsker it's okay, I had already tried a lot of stuff i found online, I wasn't expecting much, just hopeful, maybe the GPU was broken?02:21
jjbob1234every part i have was pulled out of donor PC's so i never was sure the quality of them, i even got some magic smoke out of the first GPU i tried.02:23

Guest47hi, the last kernel update didn't change the /vmlinuz symbolic link, so it was pointing to the old version. I removed that last version and the system became stopped booting13:22

DrJRedNifre: I personally have a backup server that (from the server) does a rsync over ssh.  Since it is over ssh the traffic is encrypted18:23

toddcRedNifre: office to home and home to office18:32
DrJespecially if you have a spare computer to use as the server, doing it yourself is typically far cheaper18:33
DrJand you get full control over the set up18:33
sarnoldRedNifre: I've heard good things about https://www.rsync.net/index.html but haven't used it myself18:34
RedNifreThank you, I'll have a look.18:35
sarnoldRedNifre: I've also heard good things about http://www.tarsnap.com/ but the client for that isn't free software or something similar to that18:35
sonOfRahttps://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ borg is good if you want to host the server side yourself. Tarsnap is good if you don't care about the server side, as your backups are encrypted and deduplicated locally before being transmitted18:35
RedNifreI probably don't want to host the server side myself.18:40
RedNifreHm, Tarsnap is 250 USD per month per Terabyte ._.18:42

chrfleHello, are block devices that are not mounted automatically synced when rebooting?18:42
oerhekssure there are plenty open source solutions18:43
chrfleIf I have understood it correctly, normally block devices are synced when the filesystem is unmounted18:43
leftyfbchrfle: there is no sync'ing to be done if it's not mounted. There's no way for writes to happen18:43
chrfleleftyfb: I can write straight to e.g. /dev/sda3 without it being mounted18:44
leftyfbchrfle: I don't think sync'ing comes into play at that point18:45
chrfleare such writes to cached by the kernel??18:45
oerhekschrfle, with 'sync' you mean flushing the cache ?18:48
=== Lutine_ is now known as Lutin
TJ-chrfle: there is write-behind caching on the block device layer for most types of device18:48
chrfleoerheks: yes, making sure that all writes to disk are actually written to disk18:48
leftyfbchrfle: if you're writing directly to a block device as opposed to a mount, I don't think it's cached at all18:48
RedNifreleftyfb: yeah, I guess it would be a topic for #backup, but that one doesn't exist.18:49
donofrioanyone know what switches I'd use with pidstat to pull stats from friday for a pid?18:52
chrfleTJ-: Do you know if they are synced automatically upon reboot?18:53
=== dbungert1 is now known as dbungert
TJ-chrfle: on a shutdown the caches are flsuhed18:57
TJ-or even, flushed!18:57
TJ-chrfle: it is possible to configure devices not to use write-behind caching, too18:57
chrfleTJ-: got any more information about disabling the write-behind caching for a device? And how to check if it's enabled?18:59
TJ-chrfle: for an ATA ({P,S}ATA) device in kernel log you'll see something like "sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled'19:00
chrfleTJ-: unfortunately no hint in kernel log (mmc device)19:02
TJ-chrfle: mmc layer is different19:03
chrfleTJ-: any further advice?19:09
TJ-chrfle: this should show devices using write-back caching: "cat /sys/block/*/queue/write_cache"19:10
leftyfbgrep "write back" /sys/block/*/queue/write_cache19:11
chrfleTJ-: yes, write back indeed19:12
chrfleTJ-: but automatically flushed on reboot? Could you point me to code or doc so my argument to my colleagues isn't "some guy on irc said" ;)19:13
oerheksit should be flushed on unmount..19:14
chrfleoerheks: but it's never mounted19:14
oerheksthat is what you claim, writing without mount.19:15
TJ-chrfle: you can control the amount of caching, and policy, vis sysctl. See e.g. "sysctl -a | grep dirty"19:15
chrfleoerheks: why would I say it's not mounted when I write to it if I've mounted it? Then your advice would be incorrect.19:16
TJ-chrfle: don't forget as well as the in-kernel page caching there is in-device write-behind caching too. On spinning devices hdparm was often used to disable that19:18
chrfleTJ-: I would expect that to not be a problem with a graceful reboot though, the device never looses power.19:19
chrfleTJ-: Having a read at writeback_cache_control.rst now, thanks for your guidance!19:19

Diagondeja-dup keeps telling me to set up backups - but I have my own solution.  Anyone know how to turn the reminders off?20:23
toddcDiagon: I uninstalled it20:31
DiagonJust deja-dup?  Or all of duplicity?  Or?20:31
Diagon(I thought for sure there must be soemthing in startup applications that I could uncheck.)20:32
toddcapt-get remove defa-dup and then purge if you want to20:32
toddcDiagon: there may be I have not looked into it as I use nextcloud to backup data I remove a lot of apps I just go down the store of installed apps and remove20:35
Diagon:thumbs-up:  Thanks.20:40
sixwheeledbeastthere is a setting in deja21:33
sixwheeledbeastI wouldn't be able to look because I removed it too, but you can stop it.21:34
Diagonsixwheeledbeast - thanks.  I decided to remove it also.21:39

craigbass76Is there an Ubuntu Studio specific channel?23:09
Eickmeyercraigbass76: This is it.23:09
bray90820So I have an issue with network discovery in my known server list under network some computers that are not currently connected still show up23:09
hassoonubuntu studio ?23:09
craigbass76Eickmeyer, Ahh, so not like over on freenode. Mmmkay. Thanks.23:10
Eickmeyercraigbass76: sorry, #ubuntustudio23:10
EickmeyerThought I was there, wrong tab.23:10
Eickmeyercraigbass76: Though, if it's a question that isn't *specific* to Ubuntu Studio, this is the channel.23:10
craigbass76It's about a music app. I was using a hyphen (ubuntu-studio)23:11
Eickmeyercraigbass76: No, just #ubuntustudio. Which music app? You might find better support straight from the app's support.23:11
craigbass76Eickmeyer, I'm not sure actually. I'm wondering if I'm numbing it and don't seen an app to do what I want (cook up some rhythm tracks that I can play along with, and adjust speed) or if it's there right in front of me.23:13
craigbass76I asked though, now I'll wait.23:14
Eickmeyercraigbass76: You didn't have to wait long. :)23:16
bray90820How would I reset the known computers under networks there are unavailable computers that still show up23:18
tomreynrestarting samba might help, but there may be a better way.23:20
bray90820Well I have restarted the computer already a few times and that didn't work23:22
bray90820Oh F**K now it's gone whatever23:23
bray90820I just hope it doesn't show up again after I disable samba and restart the offending host23:24
tomreynit will happens again, that's just how how discovery works in sambaland, there's always some delay.23:24
bray90820Well if I disable samba why would it show up?23:26
tomreynbecause nmbd is a separate service, i think23:26
bray90820What if I shutdown computer A disable samba on computer B then turn on computer A would it still show on computer A?23:27
