| someotherguy | hello all, i was hopinh to find some help with an audio issue im having in xubuntu 20.04. I am using hdmi audio device of nVidia GTX980 TI connected to my television. 95% of the time this works just fine, however at random times there will be aperiod in which the sound has a great deal of "feedback" noise in it. sometimes the issue can be corrected by toggling to another audio device and back to the hdmi output, other times | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| someotherguy | this a few times before it works right. this same card runs great under windows with no audio issues so i do not suspect the hardware at this time, any help would be greatly appreciated | 02:17 |
| joaquin | How can I solve the sound problem? | 03:58 |
| joaquin | I play a video and it gets stuck and a buzzing sound starts that doesn't go away until I pause the video or the music | 03:58 |

| PeGaSuS | why does Xubuntu on a bootable USB stick when "Try Xubuntu" is used has a different set of icons than the ones on my current installed OS ? | 12:38 |
| gnrp | PeGaSuS: Did you check Settings -> Appearance -> Symbols? | 12:39 |
| PeGaSuS | actually no, because I've just noticed it now lol | 12:40 |
| PeGaSuS | I've downloaded Xubuntu 20.04.3 to delete some partitions via GParted | 12:40 |
| PeGaSuS | oh.. nice... just booted into my installed Xubuntu and checked it.. thanks gnrp | 12:43 |
| gnrp | hehe, good^^ | 12:45 |
| PeGaSuS | it's incredible how my 10y old laptop with a 5400rpm disk still works properly with Xubuntu on it ^^ | 12:46 |
| gnrp | oh, you still have an hdd? | 12:46 |
| gnrp | that's the thing I totally try to get rid of whenever I can^^ | 12:47 |
| gnrp | got a lot of old computers at work with HDDs. Then I replace the hdd by a cheap ssd (30 bucks for 250gb) and they're still good to go | 12:47 |
| PeGaSuS | I still have a 1Tb HDD, yes :) | 12:47 |
| gnrp | ok, 1tb is a reasonable size to keep | 12:50 |
| PeGaSuS | I'm wondering if brands such as PNY are reliable enough... | 12:56 |
| gnrp | PeGaSuS: I trust them. I literally buy the cheapest SSDs from a brand I heard (so practically all the shops here offer) and didn't have problems so far. And it is tens of them by now | 12:58 |
| gnrp | SSDs seem very reliable to me so far, no matter which brand. With USB drives, that's a different story... | 12:58 |
| PeGaSuS | when comes to USB drives I usually buy Kingston or Verbatim.. lol | 12:59 |
| PeGaSuS | didn't had any issues so far with them | 12:59 |
| gnrp | I think I had issues with practically all the brands, and no matter if it's an expensive or cheap stick. Ok, PNY was particularly bad, with 2/3 failing within one week of no use, but also the other ones... become incredibly slow over time or things like that | 13:01 |
| gnrp | for reliable external storage, I use SSDs now | 13:01 |
| PeGaSuS | I have an internal 1Tb HDD (Seagate Barracuda) and an external 1Tb HDD (Toshiba). I'll probably buy a new laptop this summer to replace this old one (a cheap one since I basically only use it for IRC, YouTube, web) and then I'll probably switch to SSD. | 13:03 |
| gnrp | if there is no need to replace the rest of the components (and 10y is not too old, I would say), replacing the internal hdd by an ssd already could do wonders | 13:09 |
| PeGaSuS | my PC is currently a laptesk (laptop with broken screen attached to an external VGA monitor, acting as a desktop).. :P | 13:12 |
| gnrp | oh, ok, I get it^^ | 13:13 |
| PeGaSuS | also using a 3rd gen i5, when we're already on the 10th gen? xD | 13:20 |
| gnrp | 3rd gen i5 are actually quite good, still. I have soem of them in use | 13:20 |
| gnrp | and we're at 11th gen btw ;) | 13:21 |
| gnrp | 12th supposedly arriving soon | 13:21 |
| gnrp | but there was not such a big advance in performance, rather in efficiency and special features | 13:21 |
| * PeGaSuS wondering how to check CPU details | 13:23 | |
| gnrp | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 13:24 |
| gnrp | (in the terminal) | 13:24 |
| PeGaSuS | I was unsure of my CPU speeds, thinking it was only 2Ghz but seems to be a 2.5Ghz one https://termbin.com/levp | 13:27 |
| gnrp | the CPU speeds are not as constant anymore as they used to be^^ | 13:27 |
| gnrp | normally, you have a speed at which one core can go alone, and then a max speed at which all cores can be at the same time, but most of the time the cores will sleep at lower frequencies anyway... | 13:28 |
| PeGaSuS | that's exactly why I have this: https://imgur.com/bWm1bkl.png | 13:33 |
| VIA | hi all | 15:03 |
| VIA | are there grafical widgets/applets that display system stats like CPU RAM etc .. ? managed to install conky. its ugla and worst of all it just disappears when i click on my desktop | 15:04 |
| Maik | VIA: rightclick on the panel in xubuntu/Xfce select Panel and click on Add New Items | 15:16 |
| Maik | you'll then get a window with a list of applets you can add to the panel | 15:17 |
