lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> How can I manually default default audio device? I connected docking station and Lubuntu is somehow convinced that it can play audio.10:06

lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> I want to continue using laptop speakers10:06
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> Try pavucontrol-qt10:47
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> Sadly it fails to help (re @aptghetto: Try pavucontrol-qt)10:59
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/0bf8c56d/file_3369.jpg10:59
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> It claims that built-in audio goes to speakers10:59
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> So docking station takes over speakers then ignores sound11:00
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Can you make sure the speakers are working properly by attaching it to another laptop? (re @matkoniecz: It claims that built-in audio goes to speakers)11:00
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> I have no speakers, I want to use built-in laptop speakers (re @paguiar735: Can you make sure the speakers are working properly by attaching it to another laptop?)11:01
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Can you make sure the built-in laptop speakers are working properly? (re @matkoniecz: I have no external speakers, I want to use built-in laptop speakers)11:01
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Turn off the USB Audio headphones and try again (re @matkoniecz: )11:02
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> Yes, I will also check what pavucontrol-qt is showing without docking station (re @paguiar735: Can you make sure the built-in laptop speakers are working properly?)11:02
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> Done, without any noticeable effect (re @paguiar735: Turn off the USB Audio headphones and try again)11:03
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> So plugging the docking station makes no audio to come out of the built-in speakers, whereas once you unplug it the audio starts to come out of the built-in speakers again? (re @matkoniecz: Yes, I will also check what pavucontrol-qt is showing without docking station)11:05
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> yes (re @paguiar735: So plugging the docking station makes no audio to come out of the built-in speakers, whereas once you unplug it the audio starts to come out of the built-in speakers again?)11:08
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Is the docking station recognized in Output Devices as USB Audio Headphones? (re @matkoniecz: yes)11:10

lubot_[telegram] <Rodrigo> Welcome to pulseaudio/ALSA hell. It is completely unintuitive (things like: plug your headphones and select "speaker" to actually hear something through your headphones!) and very poorly documented. You may get something but mostly out of trial and error. (re @matkoniecz: How can I manually set default audio device? I connected docking station and Lubuntu is somehow convinced that it can play audio.12:26
lubot_[telegram] <Rodrigo> I want to continue using laptop speakers)12:26
lubot_[telegram] <Rodrigo> is it headphones or headset (ie with mic) that you have? there may be some command line possible workarounds12:27

lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> that is just laptop15:49
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> with docking station : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/0bf8c56d/file_3369.jpg15:49
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> oooo!15:50
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> On playback tab I can select output device15:50
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> Hopefully it is sticky and there is no need to do it manually15:51
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/82dff09e/file_3371.jpg15:51
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> thanks for reminding me about this! (re @aptghetto: Try pavucontrol-qt)15:52

lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> How can I get rid of screesaver on Lubuntu using command line? AFAIK it is no longer needed and there is no risk of screen burn-in nowadays.15:53
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> And at least default one is janky/laggy somehow, so I prefer to get rid of it rather than to try debugging it.15:53
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> Also, screensavers are ugly/distracting anyway.15:53
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> And why I want to get rid using it using commandline: I will add it to reinstall script, and automatic toool is superior to manual clicking.15:53
lubot_[telegram] <emergencyrussia> It can be still relevant on AMOLED screens (re @matkoniecz: How can I get rid of screesaver on Lubuntu using command line? AFAIK it is no longer needed and there is no risk of screen burn-in nowadays.16:06

lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> hmm, from looking at specs of my Dell U2415 - it seems to not be AMOLED. Or is it something that producer would try to hide? (re @emergencyrussia: It can be still relevant on AMOLED screens)16:11
lubot_[telegram] <emergencyrussia> I thing you don't need to worry then16:13
lubot_[telegram] <emergencyrussia> It's IPS16:14
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Did it work? (re @matkoniecz: Hopefully it is sticky and there is no need to do it manually)17:22
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> Try:17:24
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 3600 && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false (re @matkoniecz: How can I get rid of screesaver on Lubuntu using command line?

lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> And if it does not "solve" the issue? Should he randomly remove the next package?18:18
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> Please don't suggest ro remove packages, if you are not sure.18:18
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> And the option -y is not good. What if also meta-packages are removed? Or the whole desktop? (re @paguiar735: Try:18:18
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> sudo apt -y remove light-locker)18:18
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> Removing xscreensaver would also remove lubuntu-desktop*.18:23
lubot_[telegram] <aptghetto> But you can disable the screensaver in the autostart section of lxqt-config-session or disable it in the screensaver settings.

lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> If I were him I would just use the appropriate GUI, but he wants a terminal-based solution. And I assumed he wanted it gone for good when he said "to get rid of it".18:48
lubot_[telegram] <paguiar735> As far as I can tell there isn't much you can't do in the terminal unless you purge it. However, I'm open to better solutions if anyone has any. No hard feelings :) (re @aptghetto: Removing xscreensaver would also remove lubuntu-desktop*.18:48

lubot_[telegram] <randomphoenix> Hello all, quick question. What, other than Time shift, is used by most folks for a good backup prior to a reinstall?19:17
lubot_[telegram] <lynorian> +1 on not using -y to remove20:59
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> I copy full disk to an external drive that I detach from computer, for an additional safety.21:02
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> At least once I deleted wrong partitions, including partition with primary backups (and restored from this external drive, had no need to get back to regular backups on external drives). (re @randomphoenix: Hello all, quick question. What, other than Time shift, is used by most folks for a good backup prior to a reinstall?)21:02
lubot_[telegram] <kc2bez> The choice of backup utilities is nearly endless. It is difficult to recommend one that folks will be comfortable with. (re @randomphoenix: Hello all, quick question. What, other than Time shift, is used by most folks for a good backup prior to a reinstall?)21:03
lubot_[telegram] <teward001> there's a billion, there's no one answer. (re @randomphoenix: Hello all, quick question. What, other than Time shift, is used by most folks for a good backup prior to a reinstall?)21:07
lubot_[telegram] <teward001> I always do a full disk clone to an image on external media with clonezilla when I do a backup, typically.21:07
lubot_[telegram] <lynorian> yes partioting with your backup on an external hard drive seems like unesscary risk21:08
