[12:02] <StudioUser55> The applications menu uses an extremely small font.  Changing the windows scale factor up or font size has no effect on the applications menu.  Can anyone help me with this?
[12:11] <BinarySavior> hello, intermittently (maybe 20% of the time) I boot into ubuntu studio, some unexpected behavior occurs:  Once I reach the login page, either 1) the password field is not focused and mouse and keyboard are unresponsive or 2) the password field is focused and when I type, I see a few characters appear but then it loses focus and I cannot regain focus (unresponsive mouse and keyboard). The only workaround I could find is to 
[12:11] <BinarySavior> enter TTY using CRTL+ALT+F2 and then reboot with CRTL+ALT+DELETE and cross my fingers it doesn't happen again
[12:12] <BinarySavior> this has been going on since I installed the OS closer to the beginning of 2023
[12:13] <BinarySavior> and I'm using Ubuntu Studio 22.04.1
[12:38] <BinarySavior> Could this be due to another application grabbing the keyboard & mouse before I log in?
[12:44] <BinarySavior> this sounds very similar to the issues I've been experiencing: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2479936
[12:44] <BinarySavior> could be TMP issue
[14:51] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: Here's the good news about the login screen: the password field doesn't have to be focused to be receiving input (not a bug but a feature in sddm). Also, not something we can solve in Ubuntu Studio as we didn't even theme it in that release.
[14:51] <Eickmeyer> sddm is commonly used by Ubuntu Studio, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu to handle login.
[16:36] <BinarySavior> Eickmeyer, but I press keys on the keyboard and the password dots are not showing up in the password field
[16:45] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: Doesn't matter, it still reads them.
[16:45] <Eickmeyer> It's a weird "quirk" of the display manager in this case.
[16:56] <BinarySavior> ok if it happens again I will try to type my password & hit enter & wait for desktop to start up
[17:20] <StudioUser44> How do i factory rest ubuntu. was givin a computer and its locked by the administrator
[17:26] <Eickmeyer> StudioUser44: You'd want to download an .iso image. https://ubuntustudio.org/download
[17:27] <Eickmeyer> Unless you want Ubuntu. https://ubuntu.com/download
[18:37] <bacteriummourner> hi, i just tried upgrading to mantic. and i'm getting "Generating grub configuration file ...
[18:37] <bacteriummourner> /etc/grub.d/09_lowlatency: 1: version_find_latest: not found
[18:37] <bacteriummourner> run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 127
[18:37] <bacteriummourner> dpkg: error processing package linux-image-6.5.0-9-lowlatency (--configure):
[18:37] <bacteriummourner>  installed linux-image-6.5.0-9-lowlatency package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1"
[18:37] <bacteriummourner> anyone else getting similar?
[18:38] <Eickmeyer> Did it completely break? I fixed that.
[18:40] <bacteriummourner> i think so. says upgrade has been aborted. your system could be in an unusable state. a reocvery will now run. and then the recovery fails
[18:40] <Eickmeyer> bacteriummourner: It looks like you, at one point in time, removed ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings but did not *purge* it, which left /etc/grub.d/09_lowlatency in place. 
[18:40] <bacteriummourner> oh
[18:41] <bacteriummourner> so i apt purge *something* ?
[18:41] <bacteriummourner> ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings
[18:41] <Eickmeyer> I don't know *why on earth you would remove that*.
[18:42] <Eickmeyer> Let me think. You're in a pickle.
[18:43] <Eickmeyer> Ok, the damage has been done. What happens if you run `sudo apt purge ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings`?
[18:43] <bacteriummourner> i don't recall ever removing ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings. i just went to check, and my desktop didn't have it either (it does now)
[18:44] <Eickmeyer> Ok, don't purge it now.
[18:44] <bacteriummourner> says unable to locate package on my laptop though
[18:45] <bacteriummourner> derp
[18:45] <bacteriummourner> typoed
[18:45] <Eickmeyer> That means, for whatever reason, it was removed. You can safely `sudo rm /etc/grub.d/09_lowlatency` then `sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/10_linux` and try the upgrade process again.
[18:46] <bacteriummourner> ok, will give it a try, thanks
[18:46] <Eickmeyer> yw
[18:54] <bacteriummourner> worked great! rebooted fine, and just installed ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings. do i need to do anything re: 10_linux or am i good?
[18:55] <Eickmeyer> bacteriummourner: run lsb_release and see what it tells you you're on.
[18:56] <bacteriummourner> says no LSB modules are available
[18:56] <Eickmeyer> Ope, my bad. `lsb_release -a`
[18:57] <bacteriummourner> desc: ubuntu 23.10, release 23.10, codename: mantic - guessing it's a success?
[18:57] <Eickmeyer> Looks like it! Do me a favor and run `sudo update-grub` just to make sure it doesn't error.
[18:57] <Eickmeyer> The new version doesn't have 09_lowlatency.
[18:58] <bacteriummourner> no error, looks good. thanks again so much. you're the best!
[18:58] <Eickmeyer> You're welcome!
[22:06] <Iammotrethanjust> anyone have an idea of how to use blue yeti with ubuntustudio?
[22:07] <Eickmeyer> Iammotrethanjust: It should be plug-and-play, but if using JACK you might have to patch it with a patchbay.
[22:07] <Iammotrethanjust> ah
[22:07] <Iammotrethanjust> so i was on the right track trying to patch with carla
[22:07] <Eickmeyer> Yep.
[22:08] <Iammotrethanjust> its kinda stopped being plug and play as soon as that studio control opened
[22:08] <Iammotrethanjust> so jack is blocking
[22:09] <Iammotrethanjust> stereo appears not to work well out of the box
[22:10] <Eickmeyer> Ok, one thing you need to know is that Studio Controls just runs a daemon called Autojack. It's a frontend for that, nothing more. So, if you leave JACK in a state and shut down or log out, Autojack puts it back in that state when you restart it. Studio Controls does nothing else but check that when you open it.
[22:11] <Eickmeyer> Studio Controls takes a moment to find out what state JACK is in, so if it looks like thing are weird at first, that's why.
[22:11] <Eickmeyer> But if everything is working for you, that's great.
[22:12] <Iammotrethanjust> its just me your right
[22:13] <Iammotrethanjust> so if i get it working to where i can use it - should be good - it will remember
[22:13] <Eickmeyer> Correct.
[22:14] <Iammotrethanjust> fun and games i will invite the kids over
[22:14] <Eickmeyer> hehe
[22:14] <Iammotrethanjust> thanks erick
[22:14] <Eickmeyer> No prob
[22:14] <Iammotrethanjust> good thing i am not using my name on this channel
[22:15] <Iammotrethanjust> gord not gordon for me
[22:15] <Iammotrethanjust> sheesh
[22:15] <Iammotrethanjust> that was the name I got when i was in trouble
[22:15] <Eickmeyer> Meh, everybody knows who I am anyways. I receive my share of death threats and the police know to check with me before swatting me. :)
[22:15] <Iammotrethanjust> your name is familiar
[22:16] <Eickmeyer> I'm the leader of Ubuntu Studio, Erich Eickmeyer.
[22:16] <Iammotrethanjust> i have been around a few years
[22:16] <Eickmeyer> Ah, cool.
[22:16] <Iammotrethanjust> you see? i do read...
[22:16] <Eickmeyer> Yep! Appreciated. (some people don't and it gets them in trouble!)
[22:17] <Iammotrethanjust> i used to be on radio
[22:17] <Iammotrethanjust> death threats over not playing a song....
[22:17] <Iammotrethanjust> no fun kids
[22:17] <Eickmeyer> Wow. Some people's kids.
[22:18] <Iammotrethanjust> yup
[22:18] <Iammotrethanjust> best and worst of us you meet over the phone at a radio station
[22:19] <Iammotrethanjust> all about a stupid song
[22:19] <Eickmeyer> I believe it. My uncle used to be not only a radio DJ and announcer but also a station manager. He'd laugh at 'em.
[22:20] <Iammotrethanjust> until they show up in the parking lot
[22:20] <Eickmeyer> Well, this was the 80s in Eastern Washington where if someone did that they'd probably get shot first.
[22:21] <Iammotrethanjust> i am a Canadian  we would only make you listen to east coast music
[22:21] <Eickmeyer> Ah, yeah, I see. Some people these days get butthurt about that.
[22:22] <Iammotrethanjust> people get hurt about many things,  we Canadians tend not to sue each other though
[22:23] <Eickmeyer> True. Us down stateside tend to either 1) shoot first and sue later, or 2) sue first and shoot later. 🙄
[22:23] <Eickmeyer> (only kidding)
[22:23] <Eickmeyer> I'd never.
[22:24] <Eickmeyer> Anyhow, gotta look at a bug that's calling my name.
[22:25] <Iammotrethanjust> thanks again
