spot_pooped_agaithat thing had nothing to do with it, but in my excuse i present that sometimes hardware makers fought with linux dev people so it wasnt their fault the driver missed a setting02:04

ntr0Linux is a marathon, not a sprint.05:22
ntr0it will be many years before you are proficient.05:22
ntr0ask me how i know.05:22
ntr0;)05:22
ThatGuyintheRedHto be brief: either pipewire or wireplumber isnt working properly; audio crackles when doing anything remotely system intensive (discord and proton, though strangely not chrome)05:22
ntr0It's a journey for the rest of your life, which will take you to many places.05:23
ThatGuyintheRedHlooked on forums, modified files to and fro with no success, only thing i can figure is that wireplumber is still v0.4, and i cant seem to decipher how to manually install 0.5, or if that's even necessary on ubuntu05:23
ThatGuyintheRedHcurrently stumped05:24
Bashing-om!info wireplumber noble05:26
ubottuwireplumber (0.4.17-1ubuntu4, noble): modular session / policy manager for PipeWire. In component main, is optional. Built by wireplumber. Size 78 kB / 572 kB. (Only available for linux-any.)05:26
ThatGuyintheRedHwell at least 0.4 is up to date with canonical, though the site says its up to 0.5.705:26
Bashing-om!info pipewire noble05:26
ubottupipewire (1.0.5-1ubuntu2, noble): audio and video processing engine multimedia server. In component main, is optional. Built by pipewire. Size 88 kB / 123 kB05:26
ThatGuyintheRedHim just not sure what else it is. it might not have installed right, i assumed it worked right out the box but i do know there was nothing natively in the /etc/ path or /.config/ either05:28

ntr0Hi all! o/  according to GNU Screen online documentation, the actual behavior of the BEL signal is defined in Termcap, it says?05:37
ntr0so my q is:  what is termcap? is it a file?05:38
ntr0also, how can i view/change its contents?05:38
ntr0thx05:38
JanCit's a file that describes the features/capabilities of all the common (virtual) terminals05:40
ntr0ah, ok.05:40
JanCwell, a library really05:40
ntr0so GNU Screen actualy uses this? or does GNU Screen use terminfo instead? or something even newer than terminfo?05:41
JanCthe file/database with the features is called terminfo05:41
ntr0i have heard that termcap is "legacy". is it deprecated and replaced entirely by terminfo nowadays?05:41
JanCI think screen uses termcap to use terminfo05:42
ntr0ah.... so to borrow some apt-get jargon: terminfo "provides" termcap?05:42
ntr0like old legacy programs see terminfo, and think to themselves "ah, THERE is that termcap I was looking for."05:43
ntr0?05:43
ntr0if so, got it.05:43
ntr0i want to be able to redefine the behavior of my system, when a BEL signal is triggered.05:44
ntr0also, I wanna see what else Termcap and Terminfo can do. what else I can customize about them.05:44
JanCit's probably better to look at the terminal emulator for that?05:44
ntr0im at the tty05:45
ntr0so i guess the terminal emu in my case would be the kernel itself?05:45
ntr0oh wait... all the user-editable (or system admin-editable) stuff is in an Environmental Variable? is that how it works?05:49
ntr0oh wait by terminal emu you mean screen i guess05:55

paul424Hello, hello, I have reinstall Ubuntu LTS to a newer version . There are some settings which I would like to remain though . How do I do it ? Most of it are printer settings and scanner settings -- that is the configured program receiving input from TCP/ip port and saving the file --- don't know even the software name --- any idea what I should do06:55
paul424?06:55
paul424I have to reinstall*06:55
paul424https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-upgrade-Ubuntu-to-a-new-version-without-losing-data-files-apps-and-settings which way do you advice guys ? A prompt with sudo do-release-upgrade  or a fresh one from the iso pendrive ?06:58
CeleoIf you happened to know where those settings are saved, like in your home or /etc/ or somewhere, you could copy those files off to another drive/partition/cloud/etc07:18

farhanwhen I run `apt install firefox` snapd fails. Is there a way to install the package without snapd?16:56
RayTraceryou could install firefox from their binaries (not using snap)16:58

iffraffHi, my usb web cam and my laptop web cam suddenly stopped working.  I can't find anything online that seems to work.  I am running 24.04.  can someone help?18:49
pppingmewhats output of lsusb18:50
iffraffoh, is there a command I can use to paste a ghist or something so I don't blow up the channel with result?18:51
pppingmesee topic18:52
iffraffI see. thx18:53
iffraffhttps://bpa.st/E7BA18:53
pppingmeI duno what lines 5,6,9,10 are, but I don't see your cams, sounds like you're trying two, a built in one and a usb one?18:54
pppingmeby the way, almost every "built in" webcam i've ever seen is really just another usb device18:54
iffraffcorrect.  idk what those line are either18:54
iffraffinteresting18:55
pppingmein theory you should see two on that list (your built-in and your usb one)18:55
pppingmedoes the external one seem to be getting power?18:55
iffraffno it does not.18:55
pppingmetry a mouse or some other known working device18:56
pppingmetry it in the same usb port as you're trying the cam18:56
iffraffso when I do v4l2-ctl --list-devices18:57
iffraffI get Cannot open device /dev/video0, exiting.18:57
iffraffok18:57
pppingmefigure out the usb issue first, the /dev/videoX won't show up until you can at least see it on the usb list18:57
iffraffnice, so uh, yea, I tried the mouse in same usb port. no dice.  switched back, moved usb camera to different usb port now it works!  however laptop one does not19:00
pppingmepossibly a driver issue related to your usb ports, one of them isn't coming up or  a built in hub not working19:01
iffraffI'm using a hub and the usb port that was not working was "red" the others "blue" I think that's supposed to mean it charges19:01
pragmaticenigmahave you tried rebooting the machine?19:02
iffraffyes, a couple times.19:02
pppingmeyeah, red usually means extra power for charging or in come cases still has power when device is off, shouldn't affect connectivity19:02
oerheksiffraff, on what laptop exactly? maybe it gives a FN+ webcam key?19:03
iffraffI actually need the built in one cuz the usb cam does not give a great head shot and I need to do job interviews.19:03
pppingmesomething that may give hints, at least with external cam, with cam disconnected, reboot, while watching dmesg see if anything shows when you plug it back in19:03
yegorcsorry, i just joined this channel so i'm missing context, but have you tried checking lsusb?19:03
iffraffoerheks: it's a hp spectre.  I looked for soemthing that looked like a fn+ webcam key but did not see any19:03
pragmaticenigmaiffraff: plug the camera directly into the computer. if it still doesn't show up, the camera maybe defective, try it in another computer. if it works, then it's your hub, and it is likely drawing too much power and causing a brown out19:04
iffraffSo pppingme helped me get the external camera working.  Now I just need to get the builtin laptop camera working19:05
iffraff@yegorc lsusb does not show the internal camera19:05
pppingmedo what I said with the external and that may give some hints about overall USB issues and a hint to fix19:05
iffraffhttps://bpa.st/E7BA19:05
pppingmebut def sounds like a usb issue, not a cam issue19:05
pragmaticenigmaiffraff: the internal camera may not be connected internally via USB. It may be disabled in the system bios or something19:06
pppingmepragmaticenigma: he seems to have some "dead" usb ports possibly19:06
iffraffpppingme: I'll do that now.  re bios, the camera "used" to work. I installed 24.04 a while back. I haven't tried the internal camera till now.19:06
oerheksswitch on the side? https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/hps-new-spectre-laptops-have-a-webcam-kill-switch-to-protect-you-from-creeps/19:07
pragmaticenigmaiffraff: if you have a working camera, I'd stop trying to get another one working with this important meeting you have coming up.19:07
oerhekshttps://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/4fdc3f26030baa7c3a12511df5adcb58c16fba1d/hub/2018/10/23/c415dbe5-b617-4c89-afc3-7893ae93be1f/hp-spectre-x360-13-poseidonblue-hero-privacycamenabled.png?auto=webp&width=120019:07
pppingmebut that shouldn't affect an external cam??  he seemed to get it working on one usb port but not another19:07
oerheks' internal camera'19:08
yegorcwait, so which camera works?19:09
pppingmeif I understood right, external cam works on one usb port but not another..  iffraff am I hearing that correctly?19:10
pppingmeinternal cam doesn't work at all19:10
yegorcinternal cameras are usually usb devices. if it doesn't show up, it's not a driver issue19:11
iffraffDang! There was a tiny ass little switch on the side.  I turned it ... the other way and it did not help.  I switched it back and now the laptop camera works!.  how odd. So now both cameras work.  Thank you all for the great help.19:11
oerhekshave fun!19:11
oerheks* you were not the 1st one with this issue19:11
oerheksi use a black sticker19:12
yegorcthis is why lenovos physical shutters are better, can't go wrong there19:12
