I'm on 10.10 Everytime I start my iMac, the volume in alsamixer is reset to zero. It takes 8 seconds to fix, but I'd rather not have to do this every time I boot up. Anyone know how to fix this?
i have this weird problem with my pavucontrol. for some reason my input levels go up and down by themselves when i'm talking on skype...mostly up...and it's annoying because i'll be talking normally, but to the people i talk to on skype it sounds like i'm yelling, and i have to have pavucontrol open always to constantly keep the levels under control..i've made a short desktop recording showing what i mean.i didn't include sound, but as you can see, i'm not turning the levels up manually..i just talk and they go up by themselves
We are running an C++ application in AWS EC2 instance (CentOS 5.4) mounted with an EBS Volume (say /mymountpoint). We do more simultaneous writes to the EBS Volume from our application. But at some point we get 'ERROR: Input/output error'. After this, 'ls -l /mymountpoint' command itself fails with the i/o error. The filesystem which we use for the EBS Volume is xfs. I unmounted the drive and done xfs_check and again mounted the drive. Now, everything seems to be working fine. But the issue still persists everytime when we do simultaneous writes.
I believe the following details will be useful, [root@domU-12-31-39-07-81-36 StoreGrid]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.4 (Final) .....

I'm running Maverick on an HP dv6 laptop. I tried recording a video via VLC with the machine's 'TrueVision' webcam. The result seemed to lack audio, so I had a look in preferences > sound. The input tab had the mute button ticked, so I unticked it and tried adjusting the level (while realising I was probably just configuring the mic port and not the webcam's inbuilt mics).
Then things turned bad: pointer became sluggish, and changes I made to the level slider took ages to be reflected visually on screen. I queued up a pile of clicks on the 'close' button and went away for a while. On return, I was met with a box inviting me to stop a script with some screen-width-long incomprehensible name, which of course I did.
Now the system's in a state which sees windows missing title bars (tho' not menu bars) and (more problematically) the upper and lower bars on the desktop absent. I issued a hibernate command from the terminal in the hope that on waking the system would be 'fixed', but nothing changed. I tried alt-tabbing to access my open applications and close them gracefully but this command is ignored. I have 'zillions' of apps going with unsaved data and am not sure what to try next. I'd be happy just to be able to task switch to each open prog and exit it gracefully then restart. But my knowledge of the command line is such that your help is required =) .
I have an issue with my machine. The volume is 100% on startup, and I need that fixed. I looked around and found THIS on stackoverflow. However I cannot find the rc-default file I need to edit to make that solution work. I'm running Karmic. Anyone else find a solution to this problem?
Anybody have a good way to set the volume level to about 25% during a Gnome login? I sometimes have it to 100% watching movies, then I shutdown. The next day, the login sound is so loud it makes the windows (and my brain) rattle!
I use a Logitech USB headset with microphone at work for phone conferencing, and for some reason whenever I restart Ubuntu (and sometimes seemingly at random times), the settings for the audio input device revert to the defaults (the internal audio hardware).I can always reset it back to the USB headset by going to the sound configuration menu (Preferences -> Sound -> Input), but if any applications that use a microphone are already running, they will need to be restarted in order to make use of the newly configured input device.
I have this piece of code in my shell script file: Code: useradd $UserName; passwd <& $password I am not able to perform Input Redirection while setting password programatically- without any user intervention. I think there is a way to do it, but it is just getting slipped from my mind at the moment.
I speeded up boot time significantly. This was accomplished by using chkconfig off to stop unneeded services from starting at boot time and by reinstalling without LVMs
There are now just two remaining things that are slowing down boot time:
1- At boot time, I see the message "Setting up LVM" and after a while "LVM not found" Is there a way to keep Centos from trying to set up LVM? (I am not using LVM, that is why it is not found)
2- I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad and there is a delay at boot time as Centos setting up the built in mouse: "TPPS/2 IBM TRACKPOINT as class /input/input6"
I do not need the trackpoint (I use an USB mouse), Is there a way to disable the built in trackpoint (mouse) so that Centos doesn't spend unnecessary time install it at boot time?
since 9.10.My microphone works, BUT only after I open the 'Sound Preferences' panel, and change the setting under the 'Connector' tab to another selection (any will do), then set it back to 'Microphone 1'.Since this works, I wondered if there is a way to make this happen automatically at every login?
I am installing Ubuntu server 10.10 onto a machine with a 1 tb Hard drive. I have had a host of other problems installing but that is for another thread. My question here is that it takes so long to format such a big drive, and I have heard and read that LVM starts with a small partition and expands it as more room is needed. So the installer crashed and started over so this time I decided to choose 'Guided - Use entire disk and set up LVM' instead of just 'Guided - Use Entire Disk'. So it is asking me to set the size of the LVM Volume. Am I setting the size of the initial volume? or am I setting the max size the volume can expand to?
Every once in a while my laptop screen gets stuck on the lowest brightness setting. I go to the brightness setting, and it tells me it is on the highest setting. When I reset my settings, nothing happens. And I notice this usually happens after I have put the laptop in suspend mode.
I am tying to read a file in with nawk whilst trying to take input from a pipe. I've come across the getline option and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out the correct syntax. What I want to do is to take some input from the pipe and make a comparison with all of the values in a file and print a match.
i am having dell inspiron 1540 laptop installed with ubuntu 10.04 (updated). i wanted to install LAMP(Linux,Apache,MySQL,PHP) for software development purpose.

i am a new to ubuntu How to solve this problem i donot have internet connection and its important that i get it repaired as soon as possible....essential to get it running else i will be forced to goto Windows...
i am not sure if this hardware section is the proper place to put this question but my problem is like this. I want to record headphone mic input in a local file every time my system boots up and broadcast the real-time audio or rather multicast it through local LAN
Right now I'm 2hrs ahead of my normal time zone, i.e. the time zone I chose when I installed. So I changed the system clock right , ie right click Time > Prefferences. But when I re-boot it keeps reverting to the original time.
I've read a lot on how to setup a task in crontab. I think I understand how to edit the file, but when I try to save the changes, it says "no crontab for xxx." Then it says that it cannot create a new crontab. I have ubuntu desktop 9 running as a webserver. I've read the details in these posts and it isn't helping.
I live in India and my computer's time is always a minute ahead. I have selected the option to keep it synchronized with internet time servers but as there does not appear to be a time server for ubuntu in India I am not sure what to do. As of now I tried selecting foreign server but can't see anything happen.
When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
Is in Ubuntu option, that can shutdown computer after time or at defined time? I think: I have turned on my computer and I will need to automatically shutdown computer after 4 hours or at 21.00 pm. Is there option, if computer can automatically turn on at defined time?
In Kubuntu 10.10, the clock is set to military time. I shouldn't have to do the math just to look at the clock. There is no setting anywhere to change it to normal time.
I need a download manager that automatic start download at 2 a.m and stop in 8 a.m . I test many app such as fatrat d4x .... but can not find app like idm in linux.
