I wanted to know if there was a simple command for the default sound in ubuntu. An example would be typing volume = 42 into the terminal or something. I'm not looking for alsamixer or anything like that, but maybe thats the only option.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to control the gnome sound preferences widget via the command line? I use optical digital out (IEC95. It works fine. but everytime I reboot there is no sound, I have to go to sound preferences, hardware tab, select my internal audio device, change it from digital stereo duplex to analog surround 5.1, then back to digital stereo duplex, and then the sound works again. I would like to be able to do this via command line so I can write a little startup script and not have to do that every time i reboot.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my 64-bit version of Debian Linux Lenny. I have to run alsaconf every time I boot into the machine. I have tried to run this command followed by alsaclt store. It was no help, I still have to run the command every time to get sound, which makes it very annoying. Anybody know what configuration file I should be looking at, and what I should be changing. If you need a print out of any of my configuration files, just let me know what they are and where they are and I will post them. The sound was working fine for the longest time before, I think the whole mess started when installed KDE, E16, XFCE etc. I was trying out these new windows managers and seeing if I would like them. I don't really like them all that much as the gnome so I removed them.

so as i've been on ubuntu the passed few days on my asus laptop it came to my attention that their may be an issue with facebook sound interfering with the built in sound card. i don't know if this is a laptop issue or maybe even a problem with the default asus sound card, but this problem never seems to occur on my desktop computer. weird.
so the problem is when i open up facebook receive a message but have another piece of audio (videos, mp3, etc...) it seems to screw up the entire sound-card. so far the only fixes ive discovered have been disabling facebook sounds by click on the config box bottom right hand gear of chat, or rebooting.
my computer is connected to my TV through HDMI using ATI HDMI output.

If sound on F12 works as root user but not as a normal user, try this simple fix! I've been struggling to get sound working as a normal (non-root) user since F10. Until now I've had to run X as root user to get any sound out of my machine.
Sound actually works OK now for me as a normal user. Here's how I fixed the problem.
First I uninstalled pulseaudio with:# yum remove pulseaudio Then reboot back to the hardware. You might want to keep pulseaudio, but I have no need for it. PA wasn't running on my system anyway.
Running X as root user, I did the following: As a test I opened a root shell and typed the following:
[root]# alsamixer c0 That started the alsamixer OK, and all the controls were accessible.

I was thinking to install a very basic SSH gate, secured over SSL, like this [URL]
using PHP. However I would like to have it very basic and simple to install. (not database SQL, nor complicated things, ...) so that I get a prompt page with login and password to access the SSH-internet, and then can SSH the linux box over SSL and regular port 80 like they do. passwd would be in a txt file or whatever. You use index.htm and no one can scroll the tree of the directory. Would have someone already embedded php code for that?
I noticed in phpmyadmin that we can export a database in type update. Indeed we have update... in place of insert.... is there anyone know if it possible by a command line or by a simple PHP code ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI been struggling with this since Karmic and I know others have as well. This is really the only thing making me keep a Windows install around for my personal stuff.
Problem: Convert .TS files to iPod or really any smaller format keeping A/V sync after edit. I can covert my .TS file perfectly if I do not edit it but I want to just do a simple, quick trim of 2 mins from beginning and end.
HandBrake with convert the file perfectly but cannot trim. Avidemux does a great job on the video but I always have to play with the audio shift to get it in sync. It is usually betwenn -250ms to -1000ms off but I cannot count on it. If I run the video through DGIndex in Wine or view it with Mediainfo both programs detect the an offset problem but they are always wrong by almost 500ms and it is never constant.
Regular video editing I have pretty good luck with my normal DV files and I could even run the .TS files through other programs but it is too time consuming to be useful form this simple task. Anytime I want to take my recorded TV .TS files I cannot edit them quickly without making a full project out of it in Openshot Cinelerra, etc.
Has anyone found a quick, reliable way to do some lite video trimming in Ubuntu and keep A/V sync without having to resort to any Windows programs?
EDIT: Also I really do not want to resort to have to demux separately either. I know I am asking a lot but I got spoiled with a couple of Windows programs that will edit without reencode programs like VideoReDo can do the editing and converting all at once (for $100 !).
Just need some quick direction with this, as I have no idea where to begin:I run irssi in screen, and have a simple script that uses notify-send when I am private messaged/hilighted/etc. It works fine, and makes KDE pop up notifications like any other stuff does. However, if I restart KDE with /etc/init.d/kdm restart, the script fails with (every time it is triggered):
Restarting irssi doesn't fix this, the entire screen session has to be dismantled. Is there a way to fix this, or at least a place to start? It's a perl script, but I have no idea where to begin. I guess on a high level, some sort of ID is changing, but is still referenced by screen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a hard time finding out how to change -- get to-- the simple scan preferences. There is no batten on the screen to open preferences window. I found two way to change the preferences on simple scan.
1. Easy way:
I found that when you run a program in gnome an icon of that application appears on top bar. If you click on that icon a window will appear and one of the items on that window is preferences, by clicking on that you could open preferences window, and change your preferences.
2. Hard way:
Go to applications and open dconf Editor
then go to org section click on it
then go to gnome section click on it
then go to Simple-Scan click on it
now you can change things
I need a simple method to transfer mp3 songs to an iPhone 6 device. I installed libimobiledevice package but Thunar don't visualize the device.
I converted My friend's PC that now running Debian 8 Jessie with xfce. Since I don't have direct access on it, so looking for simple and, possibly, verified method.
I want to set the login to the old default of having to enter a username,password. I've tried to use the configuration editor to achieve this and have ticked the "disable-user-list" option under /apps/gdm/simple-greeter but it makes no difference, the greeter still starts with a user list. It appears that the default valuef TRUE for this function is overriding my choice, but I'm notre why. My next step appears to be to edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults to change the default value. I haven't actually tried that yet so not sure if it would work but, even if it does, it doesn't seem a very elegant way of setting this up. Is there some simple way of changing the behaviour back to asking for username first?
I seem to remember the whole login process as being more configurable than it is now, with options to choose backgrounds, allow root accest finystem->administration->login_screen only gives a choice between selecting a user or automatic login of a particular user, with no further options available.On a general note, would the old method not be a more secure default than presenting an unauthorised user with a list of login id's to be tried?
