Is anyone familiar with audio functionality on Ubuntu? I had an Ubuntu Studio 20.04 system that I used for what is basically karaoke, streamed to a stream server. It all worked well, and is now (hopefully) my backup system.

I've built a new system with Ubuntu Studio 24.04, but I can't figure out how to save the audio mixer settings so that they survive a reboot. I can tweak the mixer settings using alsamixer, and save them using $sudo alsactl store but the settings revert if I reboot.

I suspect that the issue is related to Pipewire since the old system didn't have Pipewire. I'm tempted to rip out Pipewire, but first, I wanted to at least try to find out if there's a better way than alsamixer to set mixer levels. Maybe I just need to use the correct pipewire app to set the levels? Any suggestions on what sets/stores audio mixer levels on Ubuntu?

strong plover Jun 6, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

Ah, I can’t remember what the mixer is called but I have one and it works between reboots

#

I used to be so familiar with Jack and all, I’ve switched to pipe wire and I’m not looking back, but honestly, i just ignore it. No complicated things like jack had

#

Sorry, that’s not helpful. I’ll try to look tomorrow night

dusk kernel Jun 6, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

If Pipewire can handle what I'm doing, I'm willing to give it a shot. Pix are 2 desktops not 2 monitors.

dusk kernel Jun 6, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

I think "WirePlumber" is the droid I'm looking for because it's the session manager for PipeWire. So, I'll try to read up on that at some point. For now, I just need to get the mixer settings to save reliably.

dusk kernel Jun 9, 2024, 12:28 AM

#

No, WirePlumber won't help because I've already removed all the Pipewire stuff that can be removed. duh. 🤦‍♂️

I've been trying login/logout scripts in KDE but that hasn't worked yet.

dusk kernel Jun 9, 2024, 1:42 AM

#

I THINK I finally found something that will work. "RaySession," the session manager I'm using, has the ability to run user-editable scripts. There is 1 script each for when the session is loaded, saved, or closed.
in load.sh – alsactl restore -f /home/dude/Audio_Settings/asound.state
in close.sh – alsactl store -f /home/dude/Audio_Settings/asound.state

I discovered an iso named bodhi linux, which could be used to recover files when any operating system is corrupted.

#

Is it a good idea?

fallow belfry Jun 10, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

Depending on the reason for the corruption, any Linux could be used for that. There's lots of recovery tools.

unborn haven Jun 10, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

Oh!

#

I thought in this, ui will be simple

#

Because it runs on the operating system disk so it's easy to get files

#

Other than Linux, which runs on Live USB

fallow belfry Jun 10, 2024, 3:01 AM

#

If file recovery is your goal then you really don't want to boot from the drive you're trying to recover

#

The OS is constantly writing files so it's quite likely that whatever you try to recover gets more and more corrupted, with worsening corruption the longer the disk is used

unborn haven Jun 10, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

Copying from the Operating System disk to the longer disk through any means of recovery maybe a good option for me

This is my favorite ISO for system recovery: https://www.system-rescue.org/
But, like Fal'Cie said, nearly any Linux ISO could be used for that.

There's also "Hiren's BootCD PE" that runs on a Windows interface:
https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

fallow belfry Jun 10, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

It's been years since I used hbcd

#

Huh. It used to run on Windows XP, but now it runs off Win11 PE. Interesting.

#

And that's a recent development at that. First version appears to be from March this year.

dusk kernel Jun 10, 2024, 4:12 AM

#

I used HBCD once a month or two ago and it was very useful for that one account recovery issue. So if a Windows interface is needed, it seems like a good tool. I still lean towards SystemRescueCD for anything on Linux.

#

This is the best "bootable ISO" tool of them all...
https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

Answers in order of the questions asked:
You can't. You can do adb backup but that's the extent of it. It'll save your app data and such at least but it'll only restore to the same device on the same OS version.
Sometimes you can unlock it. Depends on the device and carrier.
No, rooting requires access to system files. It also requires you to fully reset your device.
You can remove root at any time but you have to flash a stock image in order to re-lock the bootloader.

I'm a Linux newbie, but I feel like my PopOS install is acting up

Sometimes at random the screen will go black for a few seconds and go back to normal, don't know why this happens

When I have a game set to fullscreen, at random points the game will automatically minimize for some reason. Don't know why

Check your cables for a loose one

dusk kernel Jul 19, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Just a couple of random thoughts for things to check.:

For the screen going blank I'd check power save settings because maybe that's turning off your monitor? But that will depend on what you are doing when the screen goes blank.
random minimizing might be a hotkey combo being triggered. Again, it depends on what you're doing when it happens. E.g., if you're not using your keyboard when the game minimizes, it's unlikely that a hotkey combo did it. 😁

Even this option has two options. 😁 You can install the ISO as a "Live USB" version to your USB drive or any external drive that you can boot from. You can then use that "Live USB" to install Linux onto an external drive just like you would have if it were a regular internal drive.

If you're trying out Linux for the first time, I suggest keeping it as separated from your Windows installation as possible. That will give you the freedom to play with Linux (i.e. screw it up so much that you need to reinstall, LOL) and avoid the stress of worrying about screwing up your working Windows installation.

fallow belfry Oct 18, 2024, 9:37 PM

ornate finch Any alternatives youd recommend?

Davinci resolve is the most popular one

#

Personally I haven't used it enough to really recommend it but

#

It's better than the open source alternatives

#

Also are there any other software you need for your workflow?

#

Like MS Office?

ornate finch Oct 29, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

Ive never touched office ever

#

I am a bit worried about game compatibility tho

#

I know steamdeck uses linux

Well

Eeing how you got a 7900GRE

#

most games would work

#

With minor tweaks

#

Usually most of the time you just have to select the right proton version

#

Protondb is very helpful for that

#

There's also custom proton versions

Apex Legends™ - Dev Team Update: Linux & Anti-Cheat - Steam News

Updating our community on our latest match quality progress.

#

small group ruining it for everyone else :/

wild sigil Nov 1, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

"Instead of actually putting in the time to make our anti-cheat actually do what it's supposed to, we're just going to block an entire set of devices" is all I'm hearing

#

It doesn't even identify cheaters on Windows devices correctly

#

You might as well block all windows devices for the same reason...

ornate finch Nov 1, 2024, 1:33 AM

#

game companys arent our friends and theyve made that very clear from the get go

smoky fable Nov 1, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

To be fair I'd imagine it's pretty hard to make your own anticheat and easyanticheat apparently is vulnerable on linux

smoky fable Nov 1, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

wild sigil You might as well block all windows devices for the same reason...

They did specify that a disproportionate amount of cheaters and cheat developers were working on Linux.

#

I'duch rather blame the cheaters than the devs. Cheating (in multiplayer pvp games) is absolute scum and ruins the experience for everyone else

wild sigil Nov 1, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

They say they can't tell if players are playing on a legit steamdeck/linux build or not but go on to say they weighed it based on the number of legit steamdeck / legit players and decided that there weren't enough

#

If you can't verify their legitimacy how could you make an informed decision?

#

But I suppose by sheer numbers, there are more people using windows than linux

#

Not sure how likely banning linux in general from participating will "meaningfully" reduce the instances of cheating though, if EAC is barely able to identify cheaters on windows

fallow belfry Nov 1, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

wild sigil Not sure how likely banning linux in general from participating will "meaningful...

It won't, it's just an excuse to stop development for a smaller part of the market

smoky fable Nov 2, 2024, 6:37 AM

wild sigil Not sure how likely banning linux in general from participating will "meaningful...

Like I said earlier, it sounds like a majority of cheat developers were also utilizing linux

fallow belfry Nov 2, 2024, 6:40 AM

#

You can compile executables for other operating systems when you write them pepeHands

wild sigil Nov 2, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

What fal said

#

It wouldn't be a huge jump in logic to use the same reasoning to ban windows and only allow consoles to play

#

By sheer numbers alone, the number of cheaters on Windows is statistically much more numerous than on linux

#

Also, how do you define cheats that make a significant impact?

#

I'd say DDoS and aimbot fall under those categories which are the most common cheats I've seen

forest latch Nov 2, 2024, 2:29 PM

#

i can pretty much guarantee that all cheats on console games were developed on either windows, linux, or macos, and not on the console itself KEKW

wild sigil Nov 2, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Also true

#

Ban consoles

#

No one gets to play apex

#

And maybe that's better for everyone-

#

They can finally work on Titanfall 3 then

smoky fable Nov 2, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

wild sigil By sheer numbers alone, the number of cheaters on Windows is statistically much ...

Well yes of course. But Respawn said a disproportionate amount of Linux users were cheating.

#

(and like I said earlier it sounds like supporting Linux was allowing cheats to be developed easier)

forest latch Nov 3, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

i wonder how they calculated it though
if it were by percentage, then like if there were 10 players on linux, and one of them cheated, that would be 10% of linux users cheated, while there would be way more users on windows, say like 1000 users, and 10 people cheat, then that would be 1% of users cheat

#

honestly it wouldnt really be any easier to cheat on linux than windows

#

but linux users would be more tech savvy and would have a much higher chance for an average linux gamer to be able to use cheats, compared to the average windows user who probably dont even know what the control panel is

fallow belfry Nov 3, 2024, 12:30 AM

#

There are exactly zero sources cited so I can only assume they pulled numbers out of thin air

wild sigil Nov 3, 2024, 9:44 AM

#

If they actually had anything to back up their claims I would believe you

#

https://tenor.com/view/armstrong-made-it-up-gif-25653819

Tenor

#

As far as we all know, this is their source

#

If you make an argument your statements need some form of support or validity or it falls apart immediately

fallow belfry Nov 3, 2024, 10:42 AM

#

They're also just bad at detecting cheaters in the first place so how would they even know

#

There's going to be a heavy bias in the data too, because each OS does kernel level stuff differently and reports differently

#

So it could very well just be more detected cheaters used Linux just because it's easier to detect on Linux

#

Statistics is funny

wild sigil Nov 3, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

Percentages basically mean nothing

As Mr tech Jesus says

15% temperature difference in Kelvin vs celcius is a massive difference

Personally idc if they add $300 heirloom skins or whatever. It's a free game with no pay to win mechanics. I do care that the matchmaking is terrible and the servers are still 20hz

I used to be a huge fan but since I stopped playing regularly, every time I try to come back and play a few matches I'm just getting rolled by either smurfs or players ranked higher than I ever was at my "peak"

they're milking the game with extra content

they're willing to add all that content except for stuff that might fix the game

the game industry is increasingly on a "quantity over quality" model

sand pecan Nov 3, 2024, 11:40 PM

that also goes for minecraft

its my will my first experience using linux btw

i will try to list out goals i want to achieve , and try my best to achieve them

forest latch Nov 13, 2024, 3:22 PM

Running it directly on the hardware rather than using a vm

#

You can dual boot, so if you want to use Linux, you can boot on that partition, and if you want to use windows, boot into that partition

near maple Nov 13, 2024, 3:23 PM

will dual booting involve any whiping a drive clean

#

or do i keep my files

forest latch Nov 13, 2024, 3:23 PM

You can keep your files

#

Ideally you use 1 drive for each OS though

near maple Nov 13, 2024, 3:24 PM

my laptop doesn't even have a spare slot for any drives , neither m.2 or sata

#

can i partition my drive

forest latch Nov 13, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

Yes, if you have enough free space to shrink the existing partitions (or if you backup everything then reformat the drive)

near maple Nov 13, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

am not down for any reformating but i have spare space

#

107 gb is enough?

#

i can free up more

forest latch Nov 13, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

The problem isn't that you don't have spare space, the problem is that "free space" you're talking about is already a part of the partition, so windows might not allow you to shrink the partition to make space for a new partition

#

100gb should be enough space though

If you have USB3, you can install linux on an external drive and it'll be usable. USB2 works, but it's slower due to data transfer speeds.

mortal totem I think I installed windows on an sd card once

Windows won't let you do that normally but you can set it up as a Windows To Go installation, where the core OS files are located on the local system (or net boot) and any user changes like files and programs are on the external device.

#

That way it's like a portable OS customized exactly how you want and able to boot on any WTG ready computer

Options are reinstall Windows with AHCI, prepare Windows to swap to AHCI by pre-loading the driver, or just go with your original plan and use a VM

You can use an external drive so you don't need to mess with BIOS or your Windows install. Linux is perfectly happy running off a USB drive, as long as it's reasonably fast.

Most services now have syncing built in but that requires accounts ofc

forest latch Nov 21, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

I wonder if symlinks would work with programs

#

Though it probably wouldn't be stable on software on windows and Linux

#

But theoretically if the software uses the same file format on both windows and Linux, wouldn't you technically be able to symbolically link the folders and have it be synced on whether you access it from Windows or linux

mortal totem Nov 21, 2024, 10:35 PM

Usually the issue with that is temporary files and caches mismatching

On a Fedora 41 + KDE system that I use for audio/music stuff, I have one application (RaySession) that opens several other applications and manages the connections between them. In the past I've had KDE save the window positions so that everything is in the same location each time I start the system.

I've been thinking about changing this system to use a tiling window manager. I've never actually used a tiling window manager, so I'm doing a some research first. Can a tiling window manager put applications in the correct tiles each time they're started by RaySession?

Cool, thanks! I'll add that to my reading list. heh heh A random youtube video about setting up Hyprland is what got me thinking about this. So, if Hyprland can do what I want, I'm at least looking in the right direction.

The complication is that all but the first 2 apps I launch are launched by the 2nd app so that it can manage the audio connections between the others. "An app launching other apps" might be different than "launching apps." I guess I'll find out... eventually. 😁

Yes, I also have an NVIDIA GPU (I think the box in question has a GTX 960), so I'm crossing my fingers that it won't be an issue. I only occasionally use Wayland, but that's solely because Gyazo doesn't work on Wayland. The box I'd be using hyprland on doesn't really need gyazo though.

dusk kernel Dec 11, 2024, 1:09 AM

I'll check out hyperland first since I would only rarely need gyazo on that particular box. Or maybe KDE had just enough tiling functionality to accomplish what I want.
