Debian Multimedia :: Sound Volume Low Despite Alsamixer At 100 Percent
Aug 1, 2010I've got a Toshiba L650, Debian testing/unstable, KDE4.4.5. The sound worked when I first installed everything (played a movie in dragon player, etc), but shortly thereafter it stopped working. It seems like the hardware is okay (all hardware is recognized, all relevant modules loaded, volume in alsamixer at 100%, the system beep -- set in the BIOS -- works), but I still can't get sound to play. Once or twice, right before KDE shutdown, I could hear the exit sound, but that's it. Last night I exited KDE (without hearing a sound), shutdown kdm, then:
mv $HOME $HOME.backup
mkdir $HOME
and restarted kdm and kde...still no sound! I created another user, and still no sound!
Server :: E2fsck Froze At 4.8 Percent On Large LVM2 Volume
Feb 16, 2011We had to reboot a server in the middle of a production day due to 99% iowait (lots of processes in deep sleep waiting for disk iops). That's never happened to us before. It had been 363 days since the last fsck, so it started automatically on reboot. It hung at 4.8% on a 2TB LVM2 volume for about an hour. I killed the fsck and rebooted the server. The second time, it went past that point and is currently at about 62%. First, what causes e2fsck to hang like that? Second, is there any danger in killing e2fsck, rebooting, and starting it again?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Skype Audio And Missing Volume Indicator?
Jul 13, 2011 basically I was having some problems with the audio in skype, and as per the instructions on this page, I ran
Code:
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio && sudo apt-get install esound
(note: using apt-get not aptitude). The only effect this had was to remove the volume indicator/menu from unity's top panel and didn't fix the sound in skype. So I did
Code:
sudo apt-get purge esound
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
and the volume indicator is still missing. And the audio still doesn't work in skype.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Apt-Get Process Causes CPU To Run At 100 Percent
Mar 16, 2011Starting this week I am finding that my computer will randomly start to run high CPU and using TOP. I find that its the apt-get process thats running it up at 100% (please note that top will show processes up to 800% i7quad with turbo-boost show as 8 cores). Whenever I catch this I do let it run for a reasonable amount of time 10-15 mins to allow for updates or whatever its trying.
However, I do end up having to kill -9 it as just don't understand why its running so hot. I realize this is a really early bump but its not intended as so, I was browsing the forums and realized I left the title as apt-get.... and would be better if I gave a more descriptive title. hense the edit. I really hope I am not breaking any forum rules here as I really am not intent on bumping so soon.

Ubuntu :: 100 Percent CPU (What Is Backend Under All Processes)
Apr 30, 2010I've just installed the Netbook Edition of Lucid on my MacBook, and it works great, with two issues:
First, each time I start, the computer is extraordinarily laggy (pretty much unusable), until I run System Testing for video, and go through the whole process. Then it seems to work great. Also, I'm having a 100% CPU issue, which switches between my two CPUs. There was nothing under "my processes" that showed any kind of heavy use. But, under "all processes" was something called Backend. I killed the process and now everything seems to be working just fine.
Ubuntu :: 10.04 LiveCD Just Fails On 25 Percent
May 11, 2010One year ago I decided to give it a try with Ubuntu. I used the 9.04 Live CD, but it didn't perform as expected - it gave randomly errors on boot up, the interface was disappearing and reappearing, applications closed themselves randomly and in the end it usually froze and I had to do the magic SysRQ or hard restart. I installed it then through Wubi - and it was somewhat more stable. It behaved sometimes excellent all the time until I restart, but sometimes it just crashed with an error when I boot up. When 10.04 came out, I wanted to try it out, so I burned the CD.
It was the same as the 9.04 when using the Live CD and when installing it using Wubi it just fails on 25%. I don't have any problems with Windows 7 and another distribution like Knoppix (6.2) runs just fine and smooth from the Live CD. No problems what-so-ever. I haven't did any clean installation on my hard drive because I don't know if this would persist and leave me with a not working system. I still would like to address the problem from a Wubi installation or the Live CD before going for a full installation.
Here is my machine:
AMD Sempron 3300+ @2.0GHz
NVidia GeForce 7300LE 384MB

Ubuntu Multimedia :: VLC Using 100 Percent Memory
Jul 27, 2011Since I installed Natty on my laptop, some strange behavior occurs. When I open up a file in VLC all is well, I can maximize the window, but then when I go full-screen it starts to eat up all my memory! Including my complete SWAP partition. Rendering my laptop unresponsive......... It doesn't do it all the time though. I have to add to this that I have had this exact same problem with SKYPE, but that doesn't seem to occur anymore. Could it be that certain VLC settings have new defaults or maybe a driver issue?

Aug 12, 2010I recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: CPU Spikes Normal (Usually Around 50 Percent)
May 9, 2010I've recently installed ubuntu on a 5,3 edition Macbook pro. It works amazingly and I love ubuntu but I have a small concern. Is it normal for the cpu usage to spike between 10% and sometimes over 70% but usually around 50%? I've ran the top command and its usually xorg, firefox or synaptic package manager causing the spikes. Is this cause for concern? Here is a screen of the cpu usage. When this screenshot was taken I had firefox open while upgrading to the latest version of Ubuntu. [URL]. However when I run OS X I'd have to be running many many programs, including CPU and plugin intensive programs such as Logic Pro with renoise slaved to it. Even with all of this CPU usage rarely goes past 40%.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Apache / MySQL Using 100 Percent CPU
May 9, 2010My config:
Ubuntu 9.0.4 (all up to date with security patches)
Apache 2.2.11
MySQL version 5.0.75
PHP Version 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.5
I'm running Ubuntu as a Virtual machine with VMWare on top of a Windows 2008 Server. It has been working perfectly for nearly 9 months. I have one processor and 2GB of Ram assigned to the Virtual machine. Memory usage seldom ever reaches more than 50%, swapfile is hardly used either. I noticed recently that sites were loading very slow from time to time. Webmin showed me that USER / KERNEL were together using 100% cpu. I then started searching for answers to what was causing this and then read about using HTOP. I then installed HTOP and found that the following processes were the culprits
/usr/sbin/mysqld
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
There are multiple instances of mysqld and apache2 listed in HTOP, I assume this is because I run multiple sites on the box. It does however seem limited to only one or two PID's that are repeatedly maxing out the CPU at 100% (every 30 seconds to a minute) sometimes the CPU will stay maxed at 100% for nearly a minute and then free itself again but it is doing this continually. At the point when the CPU maxes out at 100% there will be one instance of mySQLD and one instance of Apache2 right at the top of HTOP and between the two they will be hogging 100% cpu. All the sites are either Wordpress or Joomla sites and I am quite confident it's one of these sites causing a problem.
My issue is that I cannot pin down which PID belongs to which site. Then, once I know which site it is how do I then trace what process / file inside that site is casuing the problem? I figured one of my busiest sites (wordpress) might be the culprit and I installed the W3 Total Cache plugin today but that has not helped this 100% cpu problem, so for all I know it might be another WP site on the box or even one of the Joomla sites. I've noticed that the TIME column on the one MYSQLD instance that maxes out is very long so it seems like Mysql is keeping some connection open or something?

Ubuntu :: Restoring Previously Installed Packages (86 Percent)
Jun 25, 2011In the midst of an epic, hours-long saga of attempting to reinstall Kubuntu 11.04 and get my GRUB menu back in order to dual boot with Windows 7 (I accidentally lost the rambling thread I previously typed, so I'm not going to even tell the back story unless prompted), my installation progress bar seems to be sitting at a solid 86%, reading "Restoring previously installed packages...", something I've never seen before. It's sat there for two hours, not moving a pixel. Is there anything I can do at this point? I've been up for hours trying to do this, and I'm about ready to give up on Kubuntu and even seeing my Windows system again.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: USB Soundcard Volume Controls With Laptop Volume Keys?
Oct 29, 2010I've got my xubuntu 10.10 install just about perfect on a little acer aspire d250, apart from a small sound useability issue: In the interests of simplicity and resource usage I removed pulseaudio. After a bit of fiddling I got it so that my USB soundcard (ProDac) is recognized and automatically set as the default soundcard when plugged in. Any sound applications automatically use the USB sound if it present, no need to around with pulse. The only problem is that my netbook's volume control keys still only control the master volume of the inbuilt soundcard, and have no effect on the usb sound. Does anyone know of a way to change which sound device these keys actually effect? I'd like to write a little script so that when the usb device is detected the keys are remapped.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: PCM Volume Not Affected By Master Volume Control With Alsa
Mar 7, 2011I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on an old DFI KT600AL motherboard based system using the onboard VIA 3058 AC97 audio (because it supports front panel audio connections and none of the add-in PCI soundcards I have do). I have an old Gateway/STB TVPCI TV tuner card (mainly wanted the FM radio part to work) hooked up to the cd audio connector on the motherboard because the digital audio over the pci bus apparently isn't supported for this card (neither is the onboard analog mixer on the tv tuner card, I had to hack a CD-ROM audio cable and solder it to the audio outputs of the tv tuner module on the TV tuner card). When I use the master channel as the master channel (selected in Kmix) then as one would expect it affects the output volume of all other audio playing on the system except that which is being handled by the PCM channel. On Windows the PCM channel was also affected by the "Volume Control" slider such that ALL volume levels were reduced when moving the slider. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make it work like this on Kubuntu.
First off I should warn you that I (like many users of older hardware that is not properly supported under PulseAudio) have uninstalled PulseAudio (because it's garbage) and am using Alsa to manage my audio hardware. I would think that there would be some way to do this using the 'amixer' application to add the PCM channel as a component of the 'Master' channel so that when the volume is turned down using the 'Master' channel control it will affect the PCM channel too (at least the output to the speaker jack, not necessarily the capture or mix volume though), but I'm not really any good at doing things from a terminal window and the options for the amixer command kind of confused me.
