Jun 9, 2011How-To set the mixer volume level at system startup or login. A funny story that led up to this how-to first...
I made the obvious mistake of leaving my volume level set to nearly maximum. Of course, Ubuntu's default behavior is to restore the mixer to its last known state - a point of much irritation at that moment. This had been a problem in the past as well, and today was the last straw. So, I did some research, for quite some time I might add, and decided to be a good community member and share my findings. It seems that there are all sorts of opinions around the web. The dominant opinion is that a mixer should always be restored to its last known state, that this is all well and good, and why would you ever want it to work any other way. Lots of people suggested that the startup sound be disabled, which was not a terrible solution, but was still a work-around as it means that the next sound bite to be played is the alarming one.
Needless to say, I wanted to find out what I would call the "proper" way to set the mixer level at startup. As my laptop uses PulseAudio, and my office desktop uses ALSA audio, the methods were different. My focus was for PulseAudio as that was the original purpose. I note here that my method for ALSA is less detailed as it is not the default for Ubuntu audio these days. So, if you are using ALSA, you might have to be a little creative to make my ALSA note fit your needs. I have attached 2 files to this post, one for ALSA and one for PulseAudio.

May 2, 2010I have an AMD64 system, which I recently upgraded to Lucid 10.04. The system now fails to boot after the upgrade. Recovery mode makes no difference.
When I attempt to boot, I get a series of messages about file systems needing checking, and also some messages from ureadahead-other. (process terminated status 4), though a post here says that status 4 is in fact not an error.
I have sucessfully booted the Lucid desktop install CD in live CD mode, mounted the filesystems, and started parts of my system in a chroot. In that system I tried running an update, and removing plymouth, but it made no difference. how I can get my system working.
I did take a backup of /etc before I upgraded, so I could get back to a karmic install, but the pain in doing so would be considerable, so I would prefer to avoid that if possible.
Ubuntu :: Complete System Crashes After Lucid Install
May 5, 2010Since having installed Lucid Lynx, I have several complete system crashes a day, no matter which applications I am using. Lucid crashes without any error message and the system reboots. I have had no problem whatsoever with Karmic Koala (also switched from ext2 to ext4 when installing Lucid Lynx). Is there any probable reason for that or a workaround? Can I paste any logs here for anybody to figure out what might be going on? When I try XP which is also install, the system won't crash (so far...), so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
My system:
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H, AMD 780G, ATX
Processor: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+ AM2 box "EE" 65W, 2x512kB
Coolermaster Centurion5 Schw. CAC-T05-UW ohne Netzteil

May 14, 2010Since upgrading to lucid, I have been experiencing regular system lockups. About once a day, my X desktop will disappear and I'll see a TTY with a few old console messages and at that point everything is completely frozen and I must hard reboot.
I have checked out various logs in /var/log and found nothing at all that indicates the system knew anything bad was happening. What is the correct approach to try to narrow this down?
Ubuntu :: Share A Scanner On Network In Lucid System?
Jun 27, 2010Assumptions:
Your scanner is installed properly and fully function. If you need to install your scanner first, have a look at the ScanningHowTo. To check if your scanner is connected and installed properly you can use the command "scanimage -L".
The machine we're configuring to use as the scanner server has the ip address 192.168.1.1 and subnet-mask 255.255.255.0. This means that this machine is on the 192.168.1.0/24 (CIDR notation) network/subnet. code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Total System Crash After Attempt To Play An MP3 On Lucid?
May 15, 2010Today while browsing the web and attempting to listen to a mp3 file on the site of a musician, this laptop with Lucid CRASHED badly! It went into a black screen and the only solution was a reboot! I am not a masochist, but I could repeat the crash a couple of times just to verify it.
This is the worst crash that I have seen on GNU/Linux! I expect things to go down in a more controlled way: maybe first the crash of a plug-in, then the crash of a web browser, eventually the crash of a windows manager. But I don't like seeing that playing an mp3 is leading to kernel crash on what is supposed to be a LTS-release!
Any observations of similar behavior or hints on the cause? Is it possible that the crash is related to intel graphics 85x on this system that are now very problematic on Lucid?
By the way, the music file in question is probably not malformed and plays perfectly on Mac and Windows. I am digging into system logs to try to find any record of the problem. For the the record: I've been around Ubuntu since 5.04, on Linux since 2003, on Unix since 1988, and on computers since 1979.
Ubuntu :: Monitor And Lucid Update Wreaking Havoc On System?
May 27, 2010I got a new monitor for christmas this year and just reinstalled ubuntu (jaunty) not too long ago, like about a month. I finally got around to updating about two or three weeks ago to lucid. Now my monitor and lucid are fighting like some crazed technological married couple. Basically, when I boot, a screen resembling kernel panic comes up for a while, and then normal boot resumes. A box comes up and says "monitor config file is either blank or contained only whitespace". If my computer limps itself along to the desktop, I find that my resolution is stuck on 1900x1080 and the icons that usually exist on my top panel are either gone or moved to the right. Under Preferences > Monitors it says unknown for my monitor, I only have the 1900x1080 option for res and my refresh rate says zero hertz.
Beyond that, my computer seems to enjoy randomly rebooting itself (sometimes even before it reaches the boot options screen) and my monitor has strange streaks/dots running up, down and across it that change when I hit keys or move the mouse, even without changing anything on screen. I know that that's alot of info to sort through but I've tried all sorts of things far and wide trying to fix this. Including screwing with xorg.conf and trying to install the ATI proprietary drivers.
Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Get Lucid System To See Snow Leopard / Solve That?
Oct 11, 2010I'm unable to get my Ubuntu 10.04LTS to see my Mac 10.6.4 machine.
I've got Samba and AFP enabled under the Mac file sharing preferences.
Attempt1: From Ubuntu, I can see my Mac under Network>Places, but I'm unable to mount the location.
Attempt2: In Ubuntu, I went to Places>Connect to Server and entered the following:
Service: Windows Share
Server: [name of my mac]
Share: [name of my shared folder]
Folder:
User Name: [username]
Domain Name: WORKGROUP
With this entered, I was able to get as far as being prompted for my password, but was still unable to connect.
Attempt3: I followed the same steps above, but left Domain Name blank. Still nothing.
Are there any docs out there for the correct steps? I can only find posts on getting Mac to see Ubuntu, but not the other way around.

Ubuntu :: Mixer Won't Work With U9.10 / Enable This?
Jan 4, 2010Long story short... I have sifted through endless docs.. some that I understood and some that I didn't, I have posted in these forums twice (not one response) and asked my local LUG for ideas and I got nothing.
I have an audio mixer that I am desperate to get working with Ubuntu 9.10, and despite working fine with Vista (so I know it's not my hardware or Mic's etc.) I can't achieve this to save my life.
At this point, I would like to just go with what works and stick with Vista, but like a fool it was me who suggested to some long distance collaborators that we all try to use Ubuntu. Now I am the only one not working...
I am frustrated to no end here. But I figure I will ask one more time and pray that someone can help me here.
How can I get Ubuntu to accept my mixer as input for audio recording??
I should also state that I am having no other audio issues that I am aware of, and that the cheap, sounds like crap mic that is built into my monitor DOES work with Ubuntu. I need to change away from this mic as the input source and over to my mixer which is connected to my sound card.
Sorry to repeat myself here but I wish to stress that this configuration of mics into mixer into computer is something I have been doing for years on the mac and with windows so I know the problem here lies with Ubuntu. And like I say, I am dual booting now on an HP desktop with Vista and I have success with Vista.
Ubuntu Installation :: No Boot Splash In Lucid On System With ATI Graphics Card?
May 7, 2010I have been unable to get the fancy purple bootsplash (plymouth) since I installed Lucid Lynx on my ThinkPad T43. The bootsplash would up when I had booted off of a Live CD, but all future instances post-install only shows the blinking terminal cursor, followed by the GNOME log in screen. This has occurred after upgrading from Karmic, and after attempting a fresh installation of Lucid. Here's what I've tried so far without success:
comment out "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0" in the grub file tried running echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash update-initramfs -u under su but it did not work because my conf.d directory doesn't contain a file called "splash", but only one file called "resume". This fix was taken from [URL]..A Google search showed that a lot of users with this problem have NVIDIA cards; however I'm running ubuntu on a system with an ATI card.
Ubuntu :: Lucid Server - Install Base System (Media Change)
Nov 25, 2010I am installing server 10.04.1 (non-gui) on an old Dell box. All goes well until it gets to the point of "Install the base system". I get a dialog "Media Change" with asks: Please insert the disk labeled 'Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100816)' in the drive /cdrom/ and press enter. I thought that was the disk I had inserted. I looked at the disk in another machine and it appears to be labeled simply "Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 LTS i386". I did a check of the media before starting the install and have even tried a different DVD reader in the machine as I thought it might be an issue with the drive failing to read the disk. I again and again get the error shown above.

May 28, 2010Last Monday I upgraded the Ubuntu from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx in my laptop (HP Compaq volna 515), and I have no sound. Searching in linux forums for an answers, I've got that (as far as I understand) there's no unique solution for this problem.
This is my lspci code...
Also, I tried to clean up the pulse audio .. What is funny for me is that pulse audio and alsa, and the audio players seems to work normally (no error of device not found or something like that).. except that there's no sound out from the speakers.
Any suggestion to discover if the problem is drivers, kernel, packages, or hardware failure? more important, how do I get the sound back?
Ubuntu :: Odd Output From Conky 'mixer' Variables
Mar 29, 2010With my .conkyrc. Whenever I output the values of any of the mixer variables, eg. mixer, mixerbar, mixerl, mixerlbar, mixerr, mixerrbar - the correct value is initially displayed but it only persists for one iteration of conky. As soon as conky refreshes (2 secs. in my case), the value goes to zero (0). I'd have to restart conky in order to get another reading until conky loops/refreshes again.
I'm sure that it's not normal behavior because nothing else in conky seems to work this way. Has anyone come across this? I couldn't find a mention of it anywhere.
Ubuntu :: Is There Sound Mixer That Works With OSS Applications As Well?
Apr 4, 2010I'm trying to configure PulseAudio using the official guide and can't get past the first step where it tells me to input pulseaudio -nC.

2.If I can't get PA setup correctly, is there an ALSA sound mixer I can use to modify sound levels for various running applications.
2B. Is there a sound mixer that works with OSS applications as well? Most apps these days are ALSA, but some older ones (like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) use OSS.
Ubuntu :: Volume Control Wanted, Not Mixer?
Jun 4, 2010I just installed Xubuntu on a new computer.One problem i came across, was the volume control at the top panel (near the clock).Unlike Ubuntu's volume control, it just opens up a sound mixer instead of being able to adjust the volume right away with one left-click. Is there anyway to get that to happen? Even my keyboard's volume control doesn't work in Xubuntu, but it worked perfectly fine in Ubuntu.
If i try to add a new applet into the panel, there is ONLY the MIxer, which is not what i want. There are no options to add regular volume controls anywhere that i can just left-click and adjust right away.
*Specs:
Dell Dimension 5280
Intel P4 2.53ghz
256mb RAM
60gb HDD
Xubuntu 10.4 (or the latest)
Generic Keyboard w/volume control
Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound After Messing With Mixer
Jun 16, 2010Using Kubuntu 10.04 here
I've been trying to make my microphone work and so I've pretty much messed around with the mixer (KMixer), mainly adding channels to the "equalizer" and checking and clearing "capture" boxes. After I did that my sound "disappeared" - I have no sound whatsoever (not even Kubuntu's initialization sound).
How can I fix this? Is it possible to go back to the "default" configuration?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lucid System Upgrade : Now Unable To Burn DVDs / Enable It?
May 3, 2010Applied the Lucid Lynx 10.04 over the weekend.
Since then - I am unable to burn DVDs, although I can successfully read DVD's.
Everything worked fine before the upgrade.
Under Lucid Lynx I am able to burn CD's (both data files and .ISO) so it isn't the hardware.
I have tried Brasero and k3b as burners - they issue messages that the burner doesn't like the medium, which is standard DVD-R.
Bear in mind that I could burn similar DVDs *before* the upgrade...
Any help or suggestions on how to fix this please?
