[10:06] <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 speakers

[10:06] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> I want to continue using laptop speakers
[10:47] <lubot_> [telegram] <aptghetto> Try pavucontrol-qt
[10:59] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> Sadly it fails to help (re @aptghetto: Try pavucontrol-qt)

[10:59] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> It claims that built-in audio goes to speakers
[11:00] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> So docking station takes over speakers then ignores sound
[11:00] <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)
[11:01] <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)
[11:02] <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?)
[11:03] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> Done, without any noticeable effect (re @paguiar735: Turn off the USB Audio headphones and try again)
[11:05] <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)
[11:08] <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?)
[11:10] <lubot_> [telegram] <paguiar735> Is the docking station recognized in Output Devices as USB Audio Headphones? (re @matkoniecz: yes)

[12:26] <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)
[12:27] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> is it headphones or headset (ie with mic) that you have? there may be some command line possible workarounds

[15:49] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> that is just laptop
[15:49] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> with docking station : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/0bf8c56d/file_3369.jpg
[15:50] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> oooo!
[15:50] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> On playback tab I can select output device
[15:51] <lubot_> [telegram] <matkoniecz> Hopefully it is sticky and there is no need to do it manually

[15:53] <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.
[16:06] <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.

[16:11] <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)
[16:13] <lubot_> [telegram] <emergencyrussia> I thing you don't need to worry then
[16:14] <lubot_> [telegram] <emergencyrussia> It's IPS
[17:22] <lubot_> [telegram] <paguiar735> Did it work? (re @matkoniecz: Hopefully it is sticky and there is no need to do it manually)
[17:24] <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?

[18:18] <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)
[18:23] <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.

[18:48] <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*.

[19:17] <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?
[20:59] <lubot_> [telegram] <lynorian> +1 on not using -y to remove
[21:02] <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?)
[21:03] <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?)
[21:07] <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.
[21:08] <lubot_> [telegram] <lynorian> yes partioting with your backup on an external hard drive seems like unesscary risk
